In a series of perspectives from leaders across non-profit and profit organisations in the publishing industry, chief executive of IOP Publishing, Antonia Seymour, describes what motivates her and what developments are the most challenging for the industry to overcome.
"The outputs of science are all-pervasive - scientists change the world. It's their curiosity and their passion for answers that drives them. That's the same for me - I want to solve problems and do things better than I did them yesterday. That's what gets me out of bed every day. Publishers help scientists grow their knowledge and understanding of the world, so my job is to ensure IOP Publishing has the purpose, direction, and motivation to partner with the scientific community to advance knowledge and change the future for the better."
