Abstract

We give a brief review of the rapidly changing landscape for scientific publication, especially in regard to scientific archival journal publication. Some of the many challenges and opportunities are outlined. These include the various forms of open access publication, the associated links to archived open data, and ways for addressing the future needs of authors, reviewers, the participating science communities in general, and overall sustainable scientific publishing endeavours. A picture is presented of the future scope of scientific publishing, and the possible roles of scientific professional societies in facilitating the achievement of well-curated global open science.
