Abstract

This article summarizes the outcomes and outputs of a workshop at the 2024 Researcher to Reader Conference that explored the perspectives of both publishers and early-career researchers (ECRs) on existing ECR–publisher initiatives. The workshop identified several challenges of current initiatives, including those from technical, engagement, financial, and evaluation perspectives. A large part of the workshop was dedicated to cocreating possible solutions, and this article uses both the identified challenges and solutions to offer recommendations to guide current and future ECR–publisher initiatives.
