The venues for both are listed below: - 8 March 2016 at Le Meridian, Bangalore - 9 March 2016 at Vivanta by Taj Begumpet, Hyderabad ** Please note that this is NOT a library event. I would request you to please pass this information to any editors, societies, Research scholars and academics in your circles in Bangalore or Hyderabad who would be interested. This will be a half day event, ending with lunch. We have the international Journals team visiting for the roundtable. The Taylor & Francis Editorial Roundtable 2016 The Editorial roundtables are a forum for Editors, Societies and academics to discuss the latest advances in the fast-changing world of international academic journals publishing. As Indian authors increasingly access journals online, and globally the number of online-only and hybrid access journals increases massively, the factors that constitute quality and originality, that make articles discoverable, open access, metrics and peer review need to be examined and understood by Editors and authors alike. Along with presentations, the forum will include discussions on various topics that will make journal publishing more productive and satisfying for journal authors, referees and Editors.
