Expertise

What is 2?
2 is a unique source of professionals, willing to share their expertise with the media and PR industry. As well as leading authorities in their profession, these experts also work closely with all sectors of the press and broadcast media, and with in-house PR departments and consultancies. The wide range of work includes live interviews and expert comment in newspapers to advising PR consultancies during product campaigns or crisis management situations.

Who's the team behind 2?
J S Publications is an electronic publishing company with 16 years' experience in providing sources of expertise that help busy professionals locate reliable expert opinions for written and oral comment. J S Publications specialises in information management and creating resources from specific data groups.

Will I find an expert for most subjects?
From the most bizarre and complicated areas of expertise to subjects we come across everyday, 2 has an authoritative system of indexing subjects, resulting in 22,435 subject entries. By looking at the subject list, you'll come across a fascinating range of topics.

The initial dataset for 2 is taken from its sister publication, The UK Register of Expert Witnesses. This means that all the experts listed on 2 have had their expertise tested by the rigours of the litigation process, courts and solicitors. This means the subject index is litigation savvy: if you can litigate it, 2 can find an expert in it!

Please be sure to review the information on the subject index to make sure you are making the best use of 2. You should also review the information on 2' unique eCast Search feature which helps to mitigate this side-effect of the quality control inheritance of 2.

How do I find the right expert?
2 allows you to search for the right expert in a variety of ways. You can:

  • search for an expert by keyword(s) and optionally limit your search to certain geographical regions (tell me more)
  • browse through subsets of the 22,435 entries on the subject index (tell me more)
  • find experts who have a similar skill set to another expert (tell me more)
  • conduct an eCast search for experts (tell me more)
And once you have found the right expert you can store their details in your project book for instant recall.

What details will I find on the expert?
Each entry contains the expert's name, qualifications, contact details, any web site link, an indication of the availability of a profile or CV, a description of expertise covered, possibly examples of media and PR experience, any geographical restrictions that apply, and language skills.

Experts' entries are updated regularly, but the best way of finding out more from an expert is to contact him/her directly.

How much will experts charge? Should I ask for the expert's Terms and Conditions?
Experience shows that experts will negotiate terms depending on the work involved. It is important to establish firm terms and conditions before work commences - and in many cases where expert comment is needed quickly, this may just be terms established in a telephone conversation.


How much does it cost to subscribe to 2?
An annual subscription to 2 costs £300.00 + VAT per organisation and allows up to 5 simultaneous users. The organisation is given its own key account and any number of individuals can use this account to create their own personal accounts, but only 5 of these users can log in simultaneously.
