Lisa Cuevas Shaw on Culture Change, AI in Publishing, and Research Funding

Insights Xchange: Conversations Shaping Academic Research

Nikesh Gosalia and Lisa Cuevas Shaw discuss open science and its major challenges in depth, covering AI tech to research funding. Lisa shares her thoughts on the funder’s role in driving change and addresses the unique issues that currently affect research funding. They tackle another very relevant topic for researchers — the use of AI-based tools in research. According to Lisa, the foundation of AI tech lies in the judicious use of tools to make processes easier. She also talks about the Center of Open Science’s efforts to drive culture change via the use of intuitive tech tools. Nikesh and Lisa then explore the impact of open science on the scientific community, as well as society at large. The conversation ends on a light note as Lisa talks about her foray into the winemaking business.

Lisa Cuevas Shaw is the COO and Managing Director for the Center for Open Science, and an adjunct professor in Management at Pepperdine University. Lisa has extensive experience in the publishing world, having previously worked as COO and a Deputy Publisher for JMIR Publications and a Senior Vice President for Sage Publishing.
