Out of time This week, hundreds of librarians, publishers, and vendors have congregated in the UK city of Glasgow to attend the annual UK Serials Group (UKSG). A fixture on the scholarly communications events circuit for many years, there was a clear sense this year that things are under strain, and a once vibrant industry is going through a period of transition. First, there is the name – does anyone really talk about ‘serials’ these days?

At #UKSG, one message was clear: #ScholarlyPublishing is at a crossroads.

From funding pressures to rising concerns around trust and integrity, the challenges are growing, but so is the opportunity for collaboration.

Read our latest blog to learn more (and download our new white paper!).

Day one at UKSG in Glasgow.

We’re here to help universities maximise value from MedicinesComplete.

Come and chat with us at stand 90 to find out more.

🏖️ We've had a great time in Brighton at #UKSG2025! Fantastic to connect with librarians and fellow publishers, discussing everything from #OpenAccess to #AI.

Really enjoyed #uksg it was good to have to consider research integrity as part of the session I was in, and generally see all the energy and talent in the room

#uksg #Overton jelly beans are good ! Nice snack on the way home.

A very insightful morning at the #UKSG25 Conference 💡

Discussions have covered cyber security, open research and the role of academic libraries in navigating the complex landscape of emerging technologies - very much looking forward to a jam-packed afternoon 📚 💻
