ELEVENTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND CONFERENCE
Editing in the Digital World
European Association of Science Editors
Tallinn, Estonia
8 – 10 June 2012

The conference will examine how the transfer of science publishing into the digital environment affects editors in their daily work and how they can exploit new technologies to improve their services to authors, their journals and their businesses/organizations. We welcome submitted papers for the parallel sessions. Practical workshops will be organised, if there is sufficient demand.

Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia, renowned for its mix of the old and the new. The enchanting centuries-old streets, towers and squares include many vibrant restaurants, cafes and clubs that give Tallinn its energy and buzz. Helsinki is an hour away by boat and there are easy links from Sweden and Riga. Several European airlines, including EasyJet and RyanAir, fly direct to Tallinn.

The 48-hour schedule for the main conference (Friday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime) allows delegates a concentrated and affordable meeting with the option of extending their visit to Tallinn should they wish.

ISMTE invites you to join us at our Fourth Annual European Conference, October 18, 2011 at St Hugh's College, Oxford, UK. The underlying theme for our speaker programme this year is 'Open' - open access and open peer review. A line-up of experts from the publishing industry will be debating the issues around these hot topics and the implications for managing and technical editors.  We'll devote the afternoon to workshops focused on specific challenges in the editorial office, whether it's a surplus of copy, the perennial difficulty of building a peer reviewer database, or attracting authors to your journal. And as in previous years, the whole programme is intended to provide delegates with great networking opportunities.
