to positively influence stakeholders and implement change;

overview of the essentials of the publishing business and how they affect
editorial processes and management, such as contracts, copyright and

Who should attend:
This
course is aimed at junior managing editors/equivalent editorial personnel, with
1-2 years’ experience. Staff newly appointed to these positions will also

managerial responsibility. As the editorial role differs between organisations,
a questionnaire will be circulated to attendees prior to the
course.

'Found it extremely useful and very interesting. It addressed many queries that I had. I think the course was run well and in sufficient detail. To add more would mean the need to extend the length of the course.'
Lara Finan, IOP Publishing
'The course was pitched exactly right and served to affirm much of what I currently do whilst providing great suggestions for improvement and development. A very useful booklet with additional material for reference and further reading. A resource that will sit on my desk! A great venue and extremely nice refreshments. This was a particularly useful course to discuss and realise how different publishers are developing their journals in the current climate of online development etc.'
