During COVID-19, Ebola outbreaks, and other crises, researchers face pressure to produce guidance within the first week hours, for example, to prevent further spread of infections in the community. Meanwhile, traditional systematic reviews require 6 to 18 months to complete. This temporal mismatch creates an evidence vacuum that decision-makers often fill with preliminary findings or incomplete data. ![Tiffany I.

It was an incredible week in San Francisco. While I spent my days talking about open access journals at our booth and my evenings soaking up the surprisingly warm San Francisco weather after the exhibit floor closed, the incredible energy surrounding the future of digital mental health was obvious the entire week. ![Jane Kelly, Integrated Marketing Manager](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-07-20%20at%205.08.33%20PM.png?width=45&name=Screenshot%202026-07-20%20at%205.08.33%20PM.png) [Jane Kelly, Integrated Marketing Manager](https://blog.jmir.org/author/jane-kelly) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/back-from-the-bay-moving-the-needle-in-digital-psychiatry-after-apa-2026) ![Medical Informatics Europe 2026](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/2026%20MIE%20Conference%20(1).png) [Events](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/events) ### [Meet the JMIR Publications Team at MIE 2026 in Genova](https://blog.jmir.org/mie-2026) 1 May 2026 9:00 a.m. Are you heading to [MIE 2026 in Genova](https://mie2026.efmi.org/home-page?utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=blog+post&utm_campaign=Conference&utm_content=MIE+2026)?

As we navigate this shift, the [ESAC (Efficiency and Standards for Academic Collecting) Initiative](https://esac-initiative.org/) is a useful compass, tracking the rise of Transformative Agreements (TAs) globally. ![Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20(5).jpeg?width=45&name=Image%20(5).jpeg) [Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/author/dennis-obrien-vice-president-of-communications-partnerships) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/transformative-agreements-risk-to-open-access-bibliodiversity) ![Photo showing man sitting at an exhibit table for JMIR Publications](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/_2026%20ER%26L%20%20blog.png) [Events,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/events) [Libraries](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/libraries) ### [What I Actually Learned at ER&L: Open Science, Funding, and the Librarian-Publisher Alliance](https://blog.jmir.org/what-i-actually-learned-at-erl-open-science-funding-and-the-librarian-publisher-alliance) 11 March 2026 4:18 p.m. I had a great time in Austin at the [ER&L Fest](https://electroniclibrarian.org/). The longer I’m in the position of Institutional Partnerships Lead at JMIR, the more I enjoy working with librarians. As a group, they are friendly, thoughtful, and ask great questions. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to me - my mother was a public librarian and I spent many, many hours among the book stacks of her workplaces. ![Michael Byer, Institutional Partnerships Lead](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-01%20at%2012.32.25%20PM.png?width=45&name=Screenshot%202026-10-01%20at%2012.32.25%20PM.png) [Michael Byer, Institutional Partnerships Lead](https://blog.jmir.org/author/michael-byer-institutional-partnerships-lead) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/what-i-actually-learned-at-erl-open-science-funding-and-the-librarian-publisher-alliance) ![Banner for the upcoming ER&L 21st Annual Library Conference March 1 – 4, 2026 in Austin, Texas](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/Copy%20of%20APHA%202025%20Socials.png) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Events,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/events) [Libraries](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/libraries) ### [3 Conversations I Can’t Wait to Have at ER&L](https://blog.jmir.org/3-conversations-i-cant-wait-to-have-at-erl) 9 February 2026 7:24 p.m. As I am preparing for my trip to Austin for the [ER and L conference,](https://electroniclibrarian.org/) I am thinking a lot about the conversations I have had with librarians over the past year, especially at Charleston in November. [The consistent theme of each conversation was uncertainty](https://blog.jmir.org/beyond-the-big-deals-partnerships-for-equity-impact-in-open-access)—often budgetary, but also regulatory and administrative. Everywhere, libraries are under pressure to do more with less, leaving many to ask: how to manage library budget cuts while transitioning to open access? It’s clear that librarians are no longer just managing collections;  they’re navigating a total systemic shift. ![Michael Byer, Institutional Partnerships Lead](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-01%20at%2012.32.25%20PM.png?width=45&name=Screenshot%202026-10-01%20at%2012.32.25%20PM.png) [Michael Byer, Institutional Partnerships Lead](https://blog.jmir.org/author/michael-byer-institutional-partnerships-lead) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/3-conversations-i-cant-wait-to-have-at-erl) ![Left to right: Amy Schwartz, Arriel Benis, Tiffany Leung, Jane Kelly](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/_2025%20AMIA%20blog%20option%203%20(1).png) [JMIR News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/jmir-news) [Events](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/events) ### [AMIA 2025 Recap: Authors, AI, and Cutting-Edge Research in Atlanta!](https://blog.jmir.org/amia-2025-recap) 25 November 2025 2:51 p.m. JMIR Publications had a productive time at the AMIA 2025 Annual Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia!
