Presentations: What is PSP Publishing

New benefit for PSP members –

What Is Journals Publishing? Presentation



What - How do Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) members inform their own organizations about the many facets of their publishing programs?  Within a publishing organization, Boards of Directors, publishing executives, editorial directors and new staff members, among others, need consistent, easily-understandable industry information that educates and updates their awareness of the current status of publishing.  Having reliable, up-to-date information is vital for member stakeholders.  Industry knowledge is invaluable not only for internal training purposes but also in preparing for external meetings and discussions with authors, editors, editorial boards, librarians, academic administrators and government officials.

As a PSP member you have a new benefit that gives you access to a PowerPoint presentation that is:

  • Easy to download  
  • Easy to customize

This modular presentation can be given in its entirety or in smaller sections based on time or information needs.  Available sections include:

  • Publishing overview                                   
  • Peer review process
  • Journal production process
  • Public Access discussion
  • Infrastructure and back office activities
  • Publishing future

Each section is fully scripted to aid in presentation preparation or delivery.
