Against The Grain - The Podcast Against The Grain LLC, Katina Strauch

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.

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.

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Sven Fund, Managing Director, ReviewerCredits and Senior Director, Knowledge Unlatched.   Sven is interviewed by Matthew Ismail, a Conference Director and Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings.
Matthew talks with Sven about his ownership and recent sale of Knowledge Unlatched, a company which Sven says fills the gap between libraries willing to spend money on open access to fund it and publishers who could make content open if funding were available. 
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.
