2013 CONFERENCE THEME:
"POSITIVE ETHICS"

The theme of the 6th annual conference on GWU Ethics and Publishing Conference is “Positive Ethics”. Too often discussions of ethics in publishing are solely about some ethical shortfall - plagiarism, using copyright as a weapon, censorship, predatory business practices - and so on. This year we want to focus on the positive side of ethical practices in the industry. What are publishers doing to promote social good? What are they doing over and above meeting responsibilities to their shareholders? And what more should they be doing?

This conference is designed for publishing professionals, but is open to the general public. We look forward to your participation!
