Designing scholarly publishing tech for everyday users

Tired of clunky publishing systems? You’re not alone. Much of the industry’s tech hasn’t kept pace with modern UX. In this webinar, a host of designers come together to share how they’re changing things by focusing on modern design principles. 

October 29, 2025 (Past Event)

Want to travel back in time? Try using some of the systems still employed in scholarly publishing. Complex interfaces and opaque workflows are the norm. It’s a stark contrast to the intuitive experiences we expect from other everyday platforms, be it your banking app or social media feed.

This isn’t just frustrating for authors, reviewers, and admins. It’s actively getting in the way of high-quality research outputs.

Thankfully, a new wave of digital designers is challenging the status quo. And we’ve brought some of them together for this webinar.


Here’s what they’ll be sharing:

  • The modern design principles behind their work.
  • How great UX boosts brand reputation and attracts repeat authors.
  • Case studies of publishing products built with usability top of mind.
