All our sessions, and especially the Paperpal Preflight&nbsp;session with Thomas Laursen, were a great success. It was extremely satisfying to see folks like Duncan MacRae and Jennifer&nbsp;Regala&nbsp;giving us glowing testimonials in front of large crowds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main topics discussed were ethics in&nbsp;science&nbsp;communication, use of AI and ML, open access, open science, and growth of pre-prints.&nbsp;There seemed to be a lot of interest in research communication and dissemination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/samulack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Donald Samulack<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the turnout seemed a little less than prior years of SSP meetings, those who did show up were committed to having serious conversations. One of the gems of the conference was the opening keynote presentation, where a TikTok influencer and self-taught&nbsp;African-American&nbsp;historian of the origins and evolution of Chicago stole the show. He was not only entertaining, he was incredibly articulate on how and why the scholarly community needs to tear down the paywalls for access to published \u201cfact\u201d \u2013 he said that he can find out how to \u201ccook crack\u201d anywhere online for free, but it is incredibly difficult and expensive for a citizen historian\/researcher to have access to the same quality information that the scholarly community has access to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jaypatel-ai-nlp-sdg-publishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Chirag Jay Patel<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was my first-ever SSP conference and it was quite exciting. There is a lot of interest and excitement around AI, ML, and automation among publishers. At the same time, there is a disconnect between what users want and what the publisher can deliver. A great example is the lack of personalization on publisher sites and how poorly publishers communicate through email and social media. There is also a lot of resistance to change, especially at the editorial level. Finally, it is becoming clear that publishers and academia are not well prepared for the changes to privacy and data collection regulations and could be facing trouble as third-party cookies are on their way out and users gain more control over their data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/richardwynne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Richard Wynne<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Delta&nbsp;Think report presented at SSP 2022 found that when measured by manuscript count, Open Access represents approximately one-third of annual journal publishing. However, Open Access only represents 10% when measured by revenue. This implies that gross journal revenues will likely decline as the proportion of Open Access increases.&nbsp;One way for journals to adapt is by developing new sources of author services revenue. CACTUS can help here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ashutoshconsult\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Ashutosh Ghildiyal<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The product showcase sessions were well attended and we plan on having more of those in upcoming conferences.

We met new prospects face to face and hopefully these will turn into business opportunities soon. I also got to share quality time with my colleagues. Now it&#8217;s time to focus on the existing and new opportunities and keep the momentum going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tmrlaursen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Thomas Laursen<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was great to see all the new services emerging&nbsp;in the area of&nbsp;technical checks.
