The Fellows Journal is a forum for the current Library Publishing Coalition fellows to share their experiences and raise topics for discussion within the community. Learn more about the Fellowship Program.
It is an honor to be named in the second cohort of Library Publishing Coalition Fellows Program, especially after seeing the example of past Fellows, Charlotte Roh and Reggie Raju. I look forward to becoming better acquainted with my fellow Fellow Talea Anderson and her work in web accessibility.
At Murray State University, I coordinate conferences annually and help publish journals. During my LPC Fellowship, I will serve on the Forum Program Committee. Conference planning and journal management have more similarities than one might imagine!
My current research areas include open peer-review, open citation data, research assessment reform, and AI/machine learning in research. Open infrastructure and the Latin American publishing model are heavily on my mind as well. I’ve previously written about novel methods of introducing students to scholarly communication concepts.
I thank this community and its leadership for providing structure, support, and most of all, this chance to connect.
