The Scholarly Kitchen

http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org

The Society for Scholarly Publishing has established the Scholarly Kitchen blog to:

1. Keep SSP members and interested parties aware of new developments in
publishing
2. Point to research reports and projects
3. Interpret the significance of relevant research in a balanced way (or
occasionally in a provocative way)
4. Suggest areas that need more input by identifying gaps in knowledge
5. Translate findings from related endeavors (publishing outside STM,
online business, user trends)
6. Attract the community of STM publishers interested in these things
and give them a place to contribute

The blog is primarily written by Kent Anderson, an SSP Board Member who currently works in the Massachusetts Medical Society’s Publishing Division in Product Development and International Business. He’s worked at the American Academy of Pediatrics and a few other places as well.

Howard Ratner of Nature Publishing and Phil Davis of Cornell University are also frequent contributors.

The blog is moderated.
