Gems from #EASEconference

Posted on 01:56 by Unknown
I wasn't sure what to expect from the EASE conference, but whatever that was, it definitely exceeded my fuzzy expectations.  It's quite difficult to sum up the event succinctly, so I've settled for this highly selective overview:

#EASEconference For a country with a small population, Estonia punches above its weight in terms of highly cited publications.
— EASE (@EASEeditors) June 10, 2012

Actually, that's true about nearly everything to do with Estonia.


Svensson pauses after audience member questions fundamental issues: Do you need a publisher? Do you need a typesetter? #EASEconference
— Ravi M (@RaviMurugesan) June 10, 2012

Is everyone a publisher now? If not, what value do publishers add?


Anthony Watkinson shocks the audience by announcing that Hindawi has laid off many journal editors for business reasons #EASEconference
— Ravi M (@RaviMurugesan) June 10, 2012

Academic publishing is currently a high risk business.


Kerans: books recommend linear writing process, but cognitive psychologists noticed recursive process in skilled writers #EASEconference
— Ravi M (@RaviMurugesan) June 10, 2012

Some great thoughts on writing and editing at this meeting and I simply didn't have time to take them all in. What a shame some of the great contributors don't blog.



Heated discussion from audience re: Dr. Asim Kurjak if he is a plagiarist or not. Elizabeth Wagner kept things calm. #EASEConference
— Dianne Dixon (@DianneDixon) June 9, 2012

My unerring ability to pick the "wrong" parallel session means I missed this one. it sounded "interesting".


Sarah Callaghan, #EASEconference Reframe 'sharing' as 'publishing' to encourage researchers to make data available #reducewaste
— Anne Brice (@abriceuk) June 9, 2012



Of course, it wasn't all work ;-)
Lock up your daughters! The Brotherhood of the Blackheads meets the @EASEeditors during #EASEconference
— AcEditBEH (@AcEditBEH) June 9, 2012



This meeting was so successful that the plan is to reduce the interval from three years to two years. There'll certainly be a lot to discuss in two years time!
