Joy Moore speaking at PSP conference

Joy Moore, VP Global Partnerships at Seed, spoke at the PSP 2010 Annual Conference today.

The conference, arranged by the American Association of Publishers Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division, addressed the new reality of scholarly publishing. It raised issues and opportunities brought on by the open access movement, the culture of free, social media and new forms of collaborations.

Seed’s Joy Moore talked about the evolution of social media in the context of our products ScienceBlogs, ResearchBlogging, and ScienceWide. The panel, Scientific Research and Social Media, explored the benefits of social media for researchers, how to engage communities, and the consequences for publishers that arise from this change.

Rachel Burley, Vice President and Publisher with John Wiley & Sons, moderated the panel, which also included Alpheus Bingham, Founder of InnoCentive, Inc and Darrell W. Gunter, EVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Collexis Holdings, Inc.

The conference took place at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC.
