ATGthePodcast 195 – A Conversation with Dan Noyes, Senior Communications Consultant, Morressier

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Dan Noyes, Senior Communications Consultant, Morressier. Dan is interviewed by Matthew Ismail, a Conference Director and Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings.
Dan talks with Matthew about the role of a Communications Consultant in today’s scholarly communication organization and how this public relations role differs from being a “spin doctor.” Dan says that public relations is not so much about pushing out prepared statements as it is a matter of “reading the room,” or listening to people to figure out who they are and what their needs and interests are. A library’s needs will be different from a physicist’s needs, and the needs of a researcher publishing or viewing a paper are different from a manager’s needs, so untangling and aligning them or offering different channels for them for expression and collaboration is the goal. Integrity and Authenticity are very important to establishing trust between an organization and its various constituents.

ATGthePodcast 194 – A Conversation with Adam Chesler, Director of Global Sales, American Institute of Physics

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Adam Chesler, Director of Global Sales, American Institute of Physics. Adam is interviewed by Matthew Ismail, a Conference Director and Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings.
Adam talks with Matthew about STEM publishing, the physics niche in publishing, and the relationship between the publisher and the customer. He says that, at some level, his job is to help AIP keep the lights on, and Adam explains how the sales of AIP journal subscriptions supports the mission of the society. Libraries do not always consider the fact that the journals have a larger role in the mission of the society, wanting to pay as little as possible for the content, and it is Adam’s job, not only to sell journals, but to communicate the value of the product in the broader STEM research ecosystem.

They also talk about his most recent venture, ReviewerCredits, which is a global independent platform that allows peer reviewers to receive credit and acknowledgement for their work in peer review, and also helps to ensure that research is original, relevant and scientifically sound, helping to sustain accurate information.

ATGthePodcast 189 – A Conversation with Ivy Cavendish, Founder, TooWrite and Eugenie Regan, Vice President, Research Solutions, Springer-Nature

Today we are featuring a conversation with Ivy Cavendish, the Founder of TooWrite, a tool designed to help scientists write up the results of their research (recently acquired by Springer-Nature), and Eugenie Regan, Vice President Research Solutions at Springer Nature. Ivy was a PhD student in Literature when she founded TooWrite in response to the struggles of her co-founder as he was writing his dissertation in computational biology. Ivy believed that the process of science writing was much more complicated and stressful than it needed to be and she created TooWrite specifically to help scientists write up the results of their research.
The TooWrite platform transforms scientific writing into a formula; instead of being akin to drafting an essay, TooWrite allows researchers to write in short, editor-supported bursts via self-composed questionnaires. The result is a writing process that is faster, healthier, and more accessible. Eugenie Regen explains why Springer-Nature acquired TooWrite and what they hope it can do for researchers. Too Write can be a transformative tool that levels the playing field for researchers around the world and helps provide more work-life balance.
Ivy and Eugenie are interviewed by Matthew Ismail, editor in chief of the Charleston Briefings and a Conference Director.
