When asked about his participation in this conference, Dr. Samulack stated, “Editage is proud to collaborate with ISMTE in organizing a must-attend event for every journal editor and publisher. In order for the scholarly publications industry to evolve, it is essential for editorial offices from around the world to be talking with each other. Our eventual goal of bridging the gap between Eastern and Western publishing practices seems a step closer with every such conference.”
Historically, research from Asian countries has been pioneering in many fields. To sustain their rich research heritage, countries like China, Japan, and South Korea have invested heavily in research and development. As the research output from Asia increases, journals and publishers need to stay abreast with the latest trends and practices in the industry. ISMTE’s 2nd Asian-Pacific conference presents the perfect opportunity for journals and publishers from Asia to connect with their Western counterparts and share knowledge surrounding best practices and resources. Editage encourages managing editors, technical editors, and publication professionals to register for the conference and participate in its many valuable sessions.
