Scholarly Communication Horror Stories

Scholarly Communication Horror Stories Online

Join us for a virtual Halloween event where authors share real-life tales of academic publishing nightmares, data management mishaps, and copyright quagmires that will make your skin crawl. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or just starting out, you'll learn how to avoid these haunting mistakes and laugh (or cringe) along the way. Brought to you by the UAB Libraries Office of Scholarly Communication and the Alabama Library Association Scholarly Communication Round Table. Costumes optional.

Topics include: 

  • The never-ending torture of peer-review from HELL
  • Lack of patient consent -> residents get scammed
  • Doing it wrong with no performance rights
  • Predatory publishers steal your work
  • Taming the chaos in the shared lab folder
  • Who picks up the check for the APC?
  • The great banana incident
