What are your goals for the summer?


   - Do you want your research to reach more people but don’t know how?
   - Perhaps you need help telling the story of yourself as a scholar and
   curating your online presence.
   - Or maybe you need a primer on new forms of publication, how they are
   assessed, and their role in promotion and tenure?
   - Or are you curious about open peer review, open annotation, and open
   access—and their benefits for students and faculty alike?

If so, consider joining us at the *FORCE 11 SCHOLARLY COMMUNICATIONS
INSTITUTE *in seaside La Jolla, CA.

altmetrics, you’ll be thoroughly immersed in new modes and forms of
academic publishing and communication.
