Recognizing Excellence in Scholarly Publishing

December 16, 2024 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Recognizing Excellence in Scholarly Publishing

The Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) launched the EPIC (Excellence in Publishing, Information Technology and Communications) Awards, celebrating outstanding achievements throughout the industry. This inaugural awards program recognizes the valuable work invested in accomplishments that help our community remain adaptable in the face of exciting trends and emerging challenges. This exciting news came to us from The Scholarly Kitchen in their article, “The Society for Scholarly Publishing Announces the EPIC Awards.”

The program commemorates contributions in five key disciplines central to scholarly publishing: tools and products, publications, marketing, media and visionary initiatives. Each of these disciplines has several subcategories that honor the diverse, creative, inclusive and equitable approaches to advance that particular area. All SSP members, nonmembers and scholarly publishing adjacent industries are invited to submit their works for consideration.

You also can apply to be a judge. Visit ‘Become A Judge’ to find out the time commitment and award categories. Be sure to visit the FAQ to have your questions answered. You do not need technical expertise in a particular area to be a judge nor do you need to be a seasoned professional to be a judge.

Winners will be announced at the SSP Annual Meeting during a new EPIC Awards Gala on May 29, 2025.
