The Elementary Course in Journal Publishing is aimed at those who have recently started their career in journal publishing or who are considering a career within the industry. Their experience may be in editorial, sales, marketing or content management roles, but the course will also be valuable to people working in other roles such as finance, web publishing and technology, or customer service.

Info International announces brand new conference – ConTech 2018 - Transforming content through data science, AI and emerging technologies

This popular course explores the technologies behind online journal delivery, and helps delegates understand the challenges faced by libraries and readers in providing, finding and reading content. As such it has a wide relevance and will provide valuable insight to those working in production, IT, editorial, sales, marketing and customer service to ensure the steps to journal discovery are seamless.

The course is designed for people working in scholarly publishing and primarily with journals. To gain the most benefit from the course, the ideal participant will need to have at least one - three years publishing experience as junior or middle manager but others with more experience will find the course a useful refresher and an inspiration for their future career.
