facilitates self-selected groups of SSP members who want to connect with others who share interests/concerns and a goal of advancing their collective understanding or sharing best practices and ideas. The peer-to-peer interaction of a community of interest builds trusted connections and lends itself to many knowledge-sharing opportunities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These communities have the autonomy to define their focus areas, size, method/frequency of communication, objectives, and rules for engagement. Group members, in most cases, must be SSP members in good standing and are subject to </span><a href="https://www.sspnet.org/about-us/about-ssp/code-of-conduct/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SSP’s Code of Conduct</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Each community is managed by one or more community facilitators and supported by our Community Engagement Committee. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Communities of interest rely on virtual or face-to-face meetings and web-based collaborative environments to communicate, connect, and conduct community discussions and activities. Community members should be willing to learn from others and contribute so that others learn from them.</span></p> <h3><b>Characteristics of Communities of Interest</b></h3> <p><b>Domain:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Community members have a shared domain of interest, competence, and commitment that distinguishes them from others. This shared domain creates common ground, inspires members to participate, guides their learning, and gives meaning to their actions.</span></p> <p><b>Community:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Members pursue this interest through joint activities, discussions, problem-solving opportunities, information sharing, and relationship building. The notion of a community creates the social fabric for enabling collective learning. A strong community fosters interaction and encourages a willingness to share ideas.</span></p> <p><b>Application:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Community members are actual participants in this domain of interest and build a shared repertoire of resources and ideas. While the domain provides the general area of interest for the community, the application of the interest is the specific focus around which the community develops, shares, and maintains its core of collective knowledge.</span></p> <h3><b>How to Participate</b></h3> <h4><b>Active Communities of Interest</b></h4> <table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #d4d4d4; height: 350px;" border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 19px;"> <td style="width: 26.358%; height: 19px;">Community Name</td> <td style="width: 36.1349%; height: 19px;">Description</td> <td style="width: 10.2345%; height: 19px;">Start Date</td> <td style="width: 8.51923%; height: 19px;">Size</td> <td style="width: 9.71984%; height: 19px;">Access</td> <td style="width: 9.03377%; height: 19px;">Status</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 156px;"> <td style="width: 26.358%; vertical-align: top; height: 156px;"><strong>Humanities and Social Sciences Publishing Professionals</strong></td> <td style="width: 36.1349%; vertical-align: top; height: 156px;">This group provides a space for HSS professionals to discuss the issues that face our subset of the sector, compare notes on best practices and policies, and provide networking opportunities.
