Events & Webinars

During Peer Review Week, the annual global event that highlights the importance of peer review, IOP Publishing (IOPP) is celebrating the difference peer reviewers make in building trust in science in the age of AI.

R2R is a distinctive conference in the scholarly calendar. It places particular emphasis on practice rather than rhetoric, analysis rather than advocacy, and critical thinking rather than fashionable slogans. The conference invites honest feedback, constructive disagreement, and serious discussion across the full scholarly communications and research management ecosystems. This is what made R2R distinctive for around 200 participants each year from the UK, Continental Europe and N.America. Smaller participation comes from the Indian subcontinent and China.

Join the Society for Scholarly Publishing May 27–29, 2026, at the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center in Chula Vista, California, for our 48th Annual Meeting! This year’s program challenges us to confront a defining paradox: how to adapt and innovate amid disruption while remaining grounded in the core values of scholarly communication.
