Bellwether Model? “Environmental Research Letters – IOPscience”

I’ve been developing my academic reputation development plan. Colleagues have roles with learned journals and one shared a tip. His tip was that the journal of Environmental Research Letters is a strong role model for the future of science and .

Drivers and Trends with this

  • rise of Open Access science where the producer pays to publish rather than the consumer pays to read,
  • rise of digital and social media on the internet and higher capacity broadband,
  • rise of graphical and video abstracts to create enticing “hooks” to the science, and
  • changing role in the objective learned printed trade press that curate and narrate science for the industry

Note to self there really must be a good chance here to combine my academic career with my rising skills within the communication and leaderships skill organization Toastmasters International
