Dr. Katherine Skinner is the Executive Director of the Educopia Institute, a not-for-profit educational organization that builds networks and collaborative communities to help cultural, scientific, and scholarly institutions achieve greater impact. This presentation is about challenging the roles we need to play in order to “move the needle” in academic publishing into the next generation of scholarly communications.

and
Transitions…
• Fields
tend
toward
stasis
• Innovations
happen
on
the

32. Aims
Project
Meerkat
would build
a
cooperative
organization—the
Publishing
Analytics
Data
Trust—to
address
scholarly
publisher
and
library
needs
in
the
collection,
aggregation,
analysis,
and
dissemination
of
usage
data,
focused
specifically
on
monographs
in
the
first
instance.
In
order
to
accomplish
this,
the
project
team
would examine
a
range
of
issues
around
this
topic
as
applied
to
monograph
usage
data,
including:
● usage
data
modeling:
What
information
can
we
collect
and
share?
What
can
we
do
with
it?
How
can
we
best
view
and
report
on
it?
● usage
data
ethics:
What
are
the
terms
of
use?
Who
can
see
which
parts
of
the
data?
How
can
the
aggregated
data
be
accessed
and
used?
● cooperative
infrastructure:
How
do
we
set
up
a
sustainable
business
model
for
the
ongoing
collection
and
dissemination
of
this
data
that
fairly
and
equitably
provides
for
the
needs
of
its
members?
