Workshop on the Future of Scholarly Publishing

There is currently much discussion and research on topics such as open access, alternative publishing models, semantic publishing, peer review, data sharing, reproducible science, etc.; in short, how we can bring scholarly publishing in line with modern technologies and expectations. In the past, the document engineering community's participation in defining the future directions has been rather limited, which is surprising, as many document-centric issues related to scientific publishing still remain unresolved. Therefore, the main goal of this workshop, which will be held at DocEng 2018, is to stimulate discussion on this topic among experts in the document engineering field and provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. The second goal of the workshop is more hands-on: for generating the Post-Proceedings, we will be trialling a new workflow, which is based on some of the technologies discussed. The results will be reported to the DocEng Steering Committee and recommendations will be made future conferences.
