The First Publishing Event in the New Year! Full Unlimited Online Coverage! Was that the real beginning of the new 21st Century? Global challenges changing lives on a scale never seen before – a global pandemic, ferocious evidence of climate change and biodiversity loss, and cyber warfare influencing global leadership against a backdrop where evidence and experts are increasingly discounted in place of tribes with their own truths. Research is increasingly having to step up to meet global challenges and we need robust responses to reclaim trust in both scholarly publishing and the expertise of researchers as we map the path to the future. Covid-19 stress-tested scholarly communication and there’s room for improvement but also inspiration for change. A changing world has led to new solutions and new players – but are they robust and tested for long-term trust? Pre-prints proved a rapid way to communicate potentially crucial findings in a crisis but is the world ready to understand the implications of reading un-tested research? Peer review, the bastion of trusted science, is under scrutiny from those within and outside research and with calls for transparency and openness in science, where next for dissemination of research findings? 2021 is the start of a very new and very different period in history and we come together with purpose and a collaborative spirit.

APE 2021: The New Face of Trust

<b>Presented by Frank Vrancken Peeters, CEO, Springer Nature, Berlin</b><br>
The evolution of scholarly communications has accelerated in recent years, and 2020 has only increased this trend. Opening up access to research publications, simplifying or customising the digital experience, or improving the speed of publishing – publishers need to work in partnership with institutions, funders, and new players in the market to develop solutions for researchers. This keynote will explore how partnerships can work in practice and help advance open science, publishing and the research system as a whole.
