Announcing the First-Ever Unofficial “Publishing Ethics Week”

October 6, 2022 – The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), The Scholarly Kitchen (TSK), and the Masters in Publishing program at George Washington University (GWU) are excited to announce the first-ever unofficial “Publishing Ethics Week,” happening October 10-14, 2022. 

#PublishingEthicsWeek22 launches October 10 with a special collection of resources from a host of scholarly publishing organizations, including the Journal of Ethics in Publishing, AUPresses, Paths in Publishing, the European Association of Science Editors, Learned Publishing, and more!

Join SSP on October 12 for “Three Ethical Challenges in Scholarly Communication,” featuring an international panel that will discuss citation leakage, text recycling, and ethical issues around data publishing.

Closing out the week will be the 12th Annual GW Ethics in Publishing Conference whose theme is “Ethics in Action.” Held in a hybrid format on October 14, registration is free of charge, both in-person and virtual!

Scholarly communications and publishing organizations across the industry are invited to collaborate on raising awareness of publishing ethics by contributing content, programming, or resources that highlight issues of publishing ethics. We welcome collaborators of all kinds!

Interested in participating in Publishing Ethics Week? Submit your resource or email Jacklyn Lord, SSP’s Marketing and Operations Manager, for more information.
