“Shaping Journal Identity: The Editor's Role”
Panel discussion

Scheduling: Thuesday September, 10 from 13.15 to 13.45

What do editors do? Please join Dr. Cristano Matricardi (Editor, Nature Communications), Dr. Miranda Vinay (Editor, Communications Engineering) and Dr. Manolis Antonoyiannakis (Senior Associate Editor and Bibliostatistics Analyst, American Physical Society Journals) for a discussion on the mission of editorial journals, how editors define and enforce “editorial criteria” in optics and physics, what makes a great paper, the transition to open access, and finally, how editors use their role in the scientific community to support researchers. By joining voices from the Nature Portfolio and the American Physical Society Journals, the panelists will give a diverse perspective on the various approaches to academic publishing.

The session is moderated by Dr. Davide Ramaccia and will be followed by a Q&A.
