Episode Synopsis
Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with David Worlock, Publishing Veteran and Digital Strategy Advisor. David began his career in the scholarly publishing industry over 50 years ago. In this conversation, he reflects on the evolution of scholarly communication since the 1970's when he began working in law publishing, the shift to digital formats and working with other publishers and, currently, the transformation brought on with AI. He also talks about preprints, self-publishing, and the evolving role of librarians and libraries as data collectors, aggregators, and curators of digital content as well as educators. David believes critical thinking is very important, and says "The more central the machines become, the more important the human-to-human interaction will become."
