What is the
conference about?
Research publication never slowed down while the Earth stood still as COVID crisscrossed international borders in multiple waves. The numbers of submissions and publications continuously grew while most productions of modern societies dwindled. At the same time, the long-foretold paradigm shift has happened before our eyes. Modes of publication and research collaboration have undergone rapid fundamental changes. In these uncertain times, change and greater openness remain the only constant. See the Future 2021 Virtual Conference will focus on these vital aspects of research publication and once again challenge our preconceptions.
Here are some of the sessions planned just for you:
- Listen to Nobel Laureate Professor Randy Schekman speaking from personal experience about the importance of collaboration and openness in basic science and research publication.
- Learn about international research collaboration in the post-COVID era by Professor Richard de Grijs, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Macquarie University.
- Know more about the future perspectives of research and publication from Professor Seeram Ramakrishna, a highly cited researcher (HCR), who is currently serving as Director, Center for Nanotechnology & Sustainability, National University of Singapore.
- Aimee Nixon (Publisher) and Damaris Critchlow (Head of Publication Ethics) from MDPI will address how review and editorial processes are upheld in open access publication.
- Attend an informative session by Peter Harrison, Senior Vice President, Physical Sciences Journals, Elsevier, and hear him speak about the evolving role of a publisher in supporting the research and publication cycle.
- Sarah Greaves, STM Publishing Consultant and Former Publisher – Nature, will talk about the rapid changes in the publication process and a brave new world that researchers need to embrace.
- Professor Jerry Wind, Director of the Wharton Fellows Program, University of Pennsylvania, will discuss the urgency for interdisciplinary studies and the importance of not being boxed in a single discipline.
- Warwick Dawson (Director, Knowledge Exchange), Yuan Wang (UNSW Torch Innovation Precinct and Conjoint Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering), and Sara Hagh (Research Engagement Director, Faculty of Engineering and IT) from The University of New South Wales & University of Technology – Sydney, will open up career paths outside the ivory tower for you and share how they transitioned into research management.
- Professor Roger Watson (Department of Nursing, University of Hull and Editor-in-Chief of Nursing Education in Practice, Elsevier) will share his personal four rules of writing for publication in top-notch journals from the point of view of an Editor-in-Chief.

Session 1: The Importance Of Collaboration And Openness In Basic Science And Research Publication
Nobel Laureate, Professor of Biology
Dr. Randy Schekman
Nobel Laureate, Professor of Biology
Subject: Publishing
Best Suited For: Researchers (all levels), Academic professionals
Speaker/s: Nobel Laureate Dr Randy Scheckman
Moderator: Tony O-Rourke, Enago
"For the most difficult challenges in scientific research, a more open and collaborative approach may make a difference in solving tough problems. Although collaborations are often encouraged by University leaders and funding agencies, the research rewards - jobs, promotion, authorship on publications and professional recognition - tend to favor the individual investigator. In my own career, key collaborations allowed my research group to achieve insights that would not have been possible on our own. Building on that theme, I will discuss where collaboration and openness has and will pay dividends.
Session 2: The Evolving Role Of The Publisher In Supporting The Research And Publication Cycle

A career in research management may involve unusual and unexpected prior pathways, sometimes involving shifts from other professions including traditional academic posts and/or commercial/industry. Research managers can be very effective in applying skills learned and experience gained from a variety of backgrounds. In this panel session we will hear from three research managers who found their way from other professions: two postdoctoral researchers, and one from industry. Topics covered will include navigating your way into research management, benefits of prior experience in other fields, and making every post a winner!

"There are many sets of ‘rules’ for writing, as a cursory search of Google will show. The sets of rules vary in number, commonly between three to five, and some are called rules for ‘effective’ writing. While the description of ‘rules' may be misleading, as everyone has their own way of writing, it is common that the part of writing that people find hardest is actually writing, in other words, getting words down on the page that they can use to craft the final article, chapter, or book. In the presentation, I present four rules that I have found effective in over 20 years of writing for publication. None of these rules is, strictly speaking, mine; I have gleaned them from the many seminars by editorial and writing colleagues that I have attended and also from articles and books about writing. My only claim is bringing these particular four ‘rules' together. I also know that others have found them effective. My four rules are:
• Read the guidelines
• Set targets and count words
• Seek criticism
• Treat a rejection as the start of the next submission
Session 9: International Research Collaboration in the post-COVID era

Speaker/s: Richard de Grijs
Moderator: Darrell Gunter, Underline
The COVID19 pandemic has taught us the importance of international scientific collaboration. Although governments imposed travel and other restrictions in an effort to curtail the spread of the virus, new and significant opportunities arose from the chaos. The record-breaking speed with which a number of viable vaccines were eventually developed could only have been realised through dedicated international research partnerships. At the present time, it is important for the international research community to capitalise on major policy gains and sometimes generous pandemic support packages. Yet, in order for science to thrive, we must work together to overcome new hurdles resulting from a concerted, long-term reduction in multilateralism and downward funding pressures. The future of international collaboration looks bright, but its continued success will depend on a significant embrace of interdisplinarity by the research community and engagement of stakeholders well beyond the traditional academic enterprise.

Session 11: How to speed up critical reading with RAx - an AI powered literature review assistant
Professor, Entrepreneur, and an AI specialist
Sourish Dasgupta
Professor, Entrepreneur, and an AI specialist
Critical reading and analysis of scholarly articles is the foundation of every new research contribution. It requires deeper examination of the validity, scope, and limitations of the research questions and the associated assumptions made, the soundness of the approach and the corresponding supporting arguments and evidences identified during literature review. Such examination helps researchers to identify research gaps and opportunities, and also strengthen their own research directions. Critical reading, being an investigative process, is innately exploratory in nature where one has to keep finding more scholarly articles to understand how the various scholarly claims and arguments are interconnected. However, in an era of information deluge and high velocity of publication, one can quite easily enter into a rabbit hole of reading materials and get drastically slowed down. Therefore, finding the right articles in the right context and then able to quickly curate one's reading list becomes extremely important. Equally important is to critically consume the specifics fast enough and then able to relate those details with the knowledge a researcher has historically acquired over years of literature review. In other words, the ability to connect the dots quickly. This, however, is cognitively a hugely challenging task even so due to the innate human memory barrier when it comes to remembering the details. In this talk I am going to discuss the various levels and aspects of critical reading and show how with the help of RAx (an AI powered literature review assistant) one develop very effective yet extremely critical reading workflows to final win the cognitive battle against volume, velocity, and time.
