Publishing Mission

David Parker will be presenting at The Charleston Library Conference in Charleston, SC on a panel of three publishers (non-profit and commercial) about how to use data & analytics to advance more equitable and inclusive publishing models. 

David Parker leads a discussion about the potential for developing more robust catalog records and searchable fields in publishers' online catalogs – with author-generated and author-approved identity metadata.

David Parker (LPP) and Bill Maltarich (NYU) talk about new models that are sustainable, equitable, and most importanly – do not rely on book processing charges (BPC). 

New models are emerging for funding open access, which may serve to alleviate one of the publishing industry’s most problematic practices: Levying book processing charges on authors.
