Michael Jensen in 2006 courtesy jay mallin photos Michael Jon Jensen has been at the interface between digital technologies and scholarly/academic publishing since the late 1980s, and is writing this in the third person because it's a prerequisite for search engine optimization, especially with a popular name like Michael Jensen. His standard bio blurb goes like this: In late 2015, Michael Jensen became Director of Technology at Westchester Publishing Services, a US-based, employee-owned provider of composition, editorial, and other services to publishers. Previously, he was appointed Director of Strategic Web Communications in 2007 for the Office of Communications of the National Academies and National Academies Press, for which he was Director of Publishing Technologies from 1998 - 2007, directing the publishing program that made more than 4,000 reports of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine, and the National Research Council fully browsable and searchable online for free (www.nap.edu). This site received more than 1.5 million visitors per month, and boasted of some of the most advanced search and discovery tools available on any publisher's site, most of which were initially developed by Mr. Jensen, and many of which remain in use today. In 2001, Michael Jensen received the National Academies' "President's Award," its highest staff honor. In 2012 he left the Academies to start a sustainable organic farm in Nova Scotia with his wife, while still consulting in the field, teaching courses in digital publishing for the Master's in Publishing program at George Washington University, as well as leading occasional multi-day seminars internationally. Previously, Michael Jensen was Electronic Publisher at the Johns Hopkins University Press, and Electronic Media Manager at the University of Nebraska Press. He has been involved in publishing on the Internet since 1989 and is a frequent speaker and consultant on electronic publishing issues. He has directed or guided such projects as the first searchable online publisher's catalog, a dozen major CD-ROM products, the Gallery of the Open Frontier, the online publication of several large reference works for Johns Hopkins University Press, The Johns Hopkins Online Guide to Literary Theory & Criticism (winner of the Association of American Publisher's 1997 "Best Electronic Product – Internet – Social Sciences/Humanities" award), and Walker's Mammals of the World Online, as well as the pioneering online journals project of the Johns Hopkins University Press, Project Muse, which made more than 5,000 articles from 42 journals available for institutional online subscription in HTML format. Mr. Jensen invented content-clustering "find more like this" systems via semantic extraction and valuation tools, invented and published PalindromXS, and has been coeditor of the comedy doomsday site ApocaDocs since 2007.
