Content marketing requires a focus on the creation of unique content. Use a duplicate content checker to check for duplicate content online.

At last year’s Platform Strategies meeting, Alison Mudditt, CEO of PLOS, joined us for a discussion around the infrastructure, technology, strategies, and relationships needed to adapt to open access market changes successfully.

Change and adaptation have been a near constant in 2020, but which changes will we carry forward, and which are we doing only out of necessity? Hear insights from our July Platform Strategies Webinar Series event.
