Linda Lee & John Hammersley Participating in ALPSP’s Seminar on the ‘Researcher of the Future’

Linda Lee, Product Manager at ReadCube, and John Hammersley (@DrHammersley), co-founder of Overleaf, are both participating in ALPSP’s seminar, titled “Are you ready for the Researcher of the Future? Understanding the researcher experience”, which is taking place in London on May 4th 2016.

Linda will examine the development of the ReadCube reference management toolset  and its evolution in response to customer feedback. Linda will also look at how ReadCube has built a dedicated group of users and product ambassadors, as well as their methods for measuring user satisfaction.

John will discuss Overleaf, the online collaborative editor for writing scientific documents, which is bringing the scientific writing and publishing process into the cloud, where it can be made easier, faster and more open. Over 350,000 authors from around the globe use Overleaf for their writing.

See below for ALPSP’s description of the seminar:

“Authors and readers are changing and often there is a mismatch between what we think they are doing and reality. Staying one step ahead and anticipating the needs of the researcher of the future is the optimal position but often publishers are playing catch up.

This full day seminar will provide an update on the landscape and equip publishers with strategies for staying one step ahead; focussing on two key questions. What will the researcher of the future demand from publishers? How is the industry responding?

Hear first hand from our panel of researchers and engage in the debate during the Q/A session. The seminar will also provide a practical focus on tools for success in understanding your audience including market research, user testing and persona development alongside case studies from key stakeholders detailing how the industry is responding.”
