Unveiling the Future: Ten Game-Changing Priorities Reshaping Scholarly Publishing by 2027
8. Design accessibility into production
Accessibility belongs in editorial and production specifications from the outset. Articles, figures, tables, video, and platforms should work for people with different abilities and on different devices. Publishers can make progress by assessing their existing collections, setting requirements for new content, and including accessibility in vendor selection. It is easier to produce an accessible article once than to repair many versions after publication.
9. Protect privacy and preserve the record
Research platforms collect information about what people read, search, and use. Organizations should set clear limits on data collection and sharing, assess security practices, and prepare for service interruptions. They should also ensure that scholarly content remains available when products, vendors, or business models change. Privacy, cybersecurity, and preservation require distinct plans, but all three affect whether researchers can rely on an information service over time.
