Biography
Dugald McGlashan co-founded the editing and publishing consultancy INLEXIO in 2015 after a 20+ year career in science and publishing. After dipping his toes in fisheries science in Western Australia, he went on to earn a PhD in evolutionary biology from Griffith University and then completed a postdoc at the CNRS in Roscoff, France. Leaving academia, he was appointed Editor of an aquatic science journal at CSIRO Publishing, and followed with a move to publishing management at Springer in Dordrecht (Netherlands) and Nature Publishing Group in Melbourne. As a Publisher at NPG, Dugald led an international team to publish and launch academic journals in the Asia-Pacific, and develop NPG’s global language editing service.
Abstract:
Publishing articles remains a vital element of the research process, but we are witnessing a period of substantial change and development in scholarly publishing. New tools, journals, publishing models, copyright relationships and demands from funders are altering how, when and where researchers prepare and publish articles. This talk explores these changes and their consequences for researchers – in their roles as authors, readers, referees and editors. Which initiatives are important, which ones are useful and why should you care?
When: Friday 27th May, 12:10pm
Where: Napier Building, Lecture Theatre G03, North Terrace Campus
