      Problem Solving in an Evolving Journals Landscape

      September 20th-22nd
      AGU Offices

      PSP Journals Reboot is appropriate for junior to mid level staff with an interest in broadening their knowledge of journal publishing beyond their current job function in all job categories, including acquisitions, finance, production, circulation, sales, and marketing.   Attendance is limited, as experience has shown that for this intensive course the best learning environment is achieved with fewer participants to ensure a more interactive, hands-on experience.
