Helping to support the best quality research in all fields is a core mission of both publishers and librarians. So how do we collaborate to do this and how could we do more? This talk will explore the ways that we work together to support both the production of quality research and the dissemination of the findings. Support for authors includes providing access to content as well as tools to help the process of writing and publication. In today’s world the new author is faced with a bewildering array of options and a few pitfalls to avoid. How can we do more to help them navigate this complex landscape? And as the researcher becomes more and more specialized and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the published literature, how can we both work toward a shared goal helping researchers find and use the information they need and ensure that their work is read by their peers? In addition to journal articles, this might include data and grey literature, eg conference papers. Search and discovery plays a major role and is a key area of current and potential future collaboration between publishers and librarians.
