Mudunuri will be discussing the topic, "Exploring the Implications of AI, Blockchain, VR, and Other Emerging Technologies on Scholarly Publishing." In his talk, he will focus on how he views openness and automation affecting research, and he will cover technology that he believes will impact scholarly publishing.
