NISO Plus Baltimore 2025

JATS-Con is a conference for anyone who uses, or is interested in learning about, the Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS), an XML format for marking up and exchanging journal content. JATS is an ANSI/NISO standard and is formally designated as ANSI/NISO Z39.96.

The conference has been hosted by the National Library of Medicine since 2010 and will now be a full-day pre-conference at NISOPlus 2025 in Baltimore on February 10, 2025. The schedule for JATS-Con 2025 can be seen here https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/jats-con/2025/schedule2025.html
