Quality-Focused Commissioning: Tools and Tactics Webinar

About This Webinar

In our endeavour to support your work as Editors and provide opportunities for the exchange of experiences and ideas, we are holding regular Editors’ Briefings. This is a series of virtual events exploring industry trends and best practice on a range of topics of direct relevance to our journal editors and editorial office staff.

Quality-Focused Commissioning: Tools and Tactics
Commissioning and inviting content is a key editorial activity that can serve many aims: attracting new and diverse author groups, broadening reach or scope, and increasing output while maintaining high quality thresholds. Join fellow OUP journal Editors and Editorial Team members to learn about how they’ve approached commissioning for their journals. There will be time for questions and discussion after the case study presentations.

Who can View: Anyone with an interest in commissioning. Of particular interest to Journal Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board members, and commissioning specialists.
