KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd.

KGL is excited to announce that Megan E. Turcotte, CAE has recently joined as Executive Director, Association Management. She will draw on her extensive membership and management experience at scholarly associations to ensure the success of KGL’s society customers. Welcome to the team, Megan!

An announcement seems like a nice way to kick off a mid-summer week: I am honored to share that I have been accepted to the Society for Scholarly Publishing Marketing & Communications Committee. With more than 20 years in the scholarly publishing industry, I have held senior marketing roles, but this is my first opportunity to serve in a volunteer capacity to support SSP and the work it does for our industry. I am grateful for the chance to contribute to SSP's mission and collaborate with a world-class team committed to advancing scholarly publishing. Thank you to the SSP for this opportunity and to KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. and KGL PubFactory for supporting industry participation. I look forward to giving back to an industry that has provided me with so much throughout my career. #scholarlypublishing #SSP #PubFactory #KGL

It was a great 99th Annual Meeting for the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PARASITOLOGISTS INC, June 14-17 in Denver. KGL's Senior Meeting Manager, Christopher Lapine has done it again! KGL is proud to also provide full member management services for ASP and serve as co-publisher for the Journal of Parasitology. Looking forward to the 100th!

This is such an exciting time and busy time and we could not have done it without KGL.

The 2024 Journal Citation Reports release containing 2023 Journal Impact Factors is now available. Notably, new combined subject categories have been created that include journals in the Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI). These journals were previously excluded from the rankings. Their inclusion means that the categories are bigger, with most of the new titles having lower Impact Factors than those that were already being ranked. Many established journals in the SCIE will see their overall ranking improve. However, some with lower Impact Factors could see their rankings further depressed as new journals come into the category above them. Clarivate says this will "provide a simpler and more complete category view for the evaluation of journal performance." I am inclined to agree. As editorial strategists, we should have clearer visibility on the up-and-coming titles whose exclusion from the rankings obscured their performance. If your JCR results are raising questions, remember that KGL Consulting can help you sort them out! Some of the questions we specialize in addressing include: - How can we publish more without sacrificing quality and impact? - What are the most promising ways we can increase citations? - How did one or more of our competitors improve their ranking? - Which of our content types/topical areas contribute most/least? - What topics should we be looking at for new article collections/focus issues?  - Could we launch a successful new OA journal in the subject area? https://lnkd.in/egX_ZDZJ

We are so grateful to the KGL Consulting team for helping us implement a publishing partnership with Oxford University Press!

The last decade has not been smooth sailing for the humanities and social sciences sector, with decreasing graduate job prospects, low course enrollment numbers, and general underfunding. Is Open Access the future of #HSS publishing? https://lnkd.in/e9_CkdZr
