Society of Scholarly Publishing's 2010 Annual Meeting: Sustainability and Transition

摘要

The main take-away from the Society for Scholarly Publishing's (SSP's) 2010 Annual Meeting was that this is the year "sustainability" became a bad word. Usually, you don't see a whole conference turn against a single word. A few people in a session here or there might voice a concern, but to have what can only be described as a relentless and sustained assault across sessions, in and out of hallway and exhibit hall conversations, and across multiple days is truly remarkable. I pity the word that gets on the bad side of an SSP conference.
