Editage is proud to have co-sponsored the conference that contributed significantly to interaction and information sharing between editorial offices from the east and the west. In addition to exhibiting at a booth, Editage sponsored the official group photograph for the 2nd Asian-Pacific conference and participated in some important sessions. With the Asia-Pacific region becoming an increasingly prominent contributor to global research, the timing of ISMTE's Asia-Pacific conference, symbolizing collaboration in scholarly publication, could not have been better.
Donald Samulack, President U.S. Operations, Editage, moderated the session on 'The Direction of Chinese Publishing - Mandates and Vision of Internationalization'. The esteemed panel included some stalwarts of Chinese publishing namely Dr. Yan Shuai - Associate Editor-in-Chief, Tsinghua University Press, and President of China Society of University Journals, Dr. Shengli Ren - Vice President & Secretary General, China Editology Society for Science Periodicals (CESSP) and Science Editor at the Science Communication Center of the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), and Mr. Hong Xiao, Vice General Manager & Deputy Editor-in-Chief, China Academic Journal Electronic Publishing House Co. Ltd. (CNKI). This captivating session discussed China's publishing history and the direction that the publishing industry is taking in the future.
Dr. Samulack also moderated and presented in a session on 'Scrutinizing the manuscript - is it acceptable for publication?' along with Ms. Helen Zhang, Managing Editor of the Journals of Zhejiang University (SCIENCE A/B and FITEE) and Journal Director of Zhejiang University Press. In addition to addressing some irresponsible publication practices perpetrated by predatory journals and unethical publication services, this session highlighted best editorial practices to identify manuscript irregularities with respect to authorship, sale of manuscripts, peer reviewer fraud, plagiarism, duplicate publication, image manipulation, self-citation, and other forms of unethical publication practices.
In recent times, competition has intensified in all fields including scholarly publication. With irresponsible publication practices on the rise, it is essential for journals and publishers from all over the world to interact openly and share information with another. Editage is proud to have been involved in the success of such an important conference that aims to foster camaraderie and increase collaboration between eastern and western publishers.
