The ALPSP Careers Hub is a brand new resource which provides essential introductions to a wide selection of topics across scholarly publishing, via videos and podcasts.
For a limited period, the content will be free to access for all, and then most will be available only to members. If you are interested in joining ALPSP, please find out more or get in touch for details.
All information is predominantly knowledge based and aimed at those with up to five years’ experience or changing departments within the industry. This resource is constantly evolving so make sure that you check back regularly for new content or follow us on social media for updates (via Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook).
The following videos and podcasts have been created by members of ALPSP committees and tutors. Relevant content is welcome from all. If you would like to contribute to the ALPSP Careers Hub, please contact us. Guidelines for recording a video/podcast
