What opportunities and challenges arise for the academic and scientific publishing sector? This will be the topic of discussion on Monday, December 4th, at 10 a.m. in the Aula Magna, during the event “Editorial Evolutions: the publication of scientific research between innovation and evaluation.”

The initiative stems from the synergy between the university publishers Florence University Press (FUP) and USiena Press, united by a collaboration agreement for the publication of high-quality scientific works under their respective editorial brands.

The meeting, attended by the Rector of Unifi, Alessandra Petrucci, and the Rector of the University of Siena, Roberto Di Pietra, will be divided into two sessions.

The first, dedicated to “Scientific Journals in Transformation: Current Scenarios and Future Perspectives,” will be coordinated by Roberta Mucciarelli of USiena Press and will feature the participation of Andrea Angiolini (Il Mulino), Michele Casalini (Casalini Libri), and Alessandro Pierno (FUP).

The second, a roundtable discussion focused on “Evaluation and Value of Scientific Research: Mechanisms and Effects,” will be coordinated by Dimitri D’Andrea, President of FUP, and will host interventions from the Research Delegate at Unifi, Debora Berti, the Research Delegate of the University of Siena, Michelangelo Vasta, and Menico Rizzi, CoARA Steering Board.
