There will be two full days plus an evening poster session will cover both the ways in which traditional scholarly communication and journalism has changed, how social media is being adopted to complement the traditional journal article, and the ways in which researchers are seeking to communicate with the general public. With a wide array of speakers participating, including ACS Executive Director and CEO Thomas Connelly, you won’t want to miss it.

This interest group is also seeking to establish a presence in the Research Data Alliance through a Chemistry Data Interest Group that will provide a bridge between wider activities and those taking place within the chemistry community. The group is affiliated with ACS/CINF, RSC, IUPAC, and RDA.
