The open access model of “pay to publish”, in which authors pay a charge to cover production and subscription costs, is increasingly shaking the traditional subscription model in which universities pay for access. While this shift in payment—from libraries to authors—is causing a positive disruption in scholarly publishing, and enabling more open and broader access to research, challenges remain. Can we move away from today’s profit-driven hyper-competitive, prestige-based publishing model and towards an open, shared and collaborative scientific community?

Its intention seems to be to persuade viewers that the paywalls that restrict access to journal content online are an unnecessary hangover from the print era, and now serve only to perpetuate the excessive profits that legacy publishers such as Elsevier, Wiley and Springer Nature make from the public purse.

There is a lot of talk at the moment about measuring open scholarship as means of incentivising it.  For example, the European Commission’s recently updated recommendation on access to and preservation of scientific information calls for member states to change the academic evaluation system by introducing “additional indicators and metrics that can inform assessment on openness”. The LERU Open Science roadmap is another, suggesting universities “embed Open Science principles in the institutional research assessment system, shifting away from an excessive reliance on publication-based journal impact factors and citation cultures and recognising Open Science approaches such as OA publishing, data/code/reagent sharing.” I have sympathy with these objectives.  We all want openness, and we all believe Campbell’s Law – i.e., the way you measure someone is the way they’ll behave. It’s just that the more I think about it, the more concerns I have that measuring openness might not be the best way of achieving it.  So as a form of blog therapy, I have laid out my fears in this post in the hope that either someone can reassure me that I’m overthinking this, or that we might adjust our collective view about the best way forward here.

The declaration states that “There is a pressing need to improve the ways in which the output of scientific research is evaluated by funding agencies, academic institutions, and other parties”, and to this end we identify the following recommended actions on the part of the research community: the need to eliminate undue reliance on the use of journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, in funding, appointment, and promotion considerations. the need to assess research on its own merits rather than on the basis of the journal in which the research is published, and the need to capitalize on the opportunities provided by online publication (such as relaxing unnecessary limits on the number of words, figures, and references in articles, and exploring new indicators of significance and impact).

Two institutions—learned societies and scientific journals—midwifed a scientific revolution in the 17th century that still dominates our professional lives today. Learned societies like the ASCB remain relevant because they provide forums for sharing results, discussing the practice of science, and projecting our voices to the public and the policymakers. Scientific journals still disseminate our work, but in the Internet-connected world of the 21st century this is no longer their critical function. Journals remain relevant today almost entirely because they provide a playing field for scientific and professional competition: To claim credit for a discovery, we publish it in a peer-reviewed journal; to get a job in academia or money to run a lab, we present piles of these published papers to universities and funding agencies. Publishing is so embedded in the practice of science that whoever controls the journals controls access to the entire profession. It is, therefore, worth examining to whom we have entrusted the keys to the kingdom of science.

Christopher Kinsinger and Henry Rodriguez about Sharing Proteomics Data Last September, NCI's Office of Cancer Clinical Proteomics Research convened a workshop of researchers and stakeholders in the field of proteomics to discuss ways to better share data about the structure and functions of proteins—a challenge facing the entire proteomics community. The meeting, held in Sydney, Australia, addressed establishing standards to ensure the quality of the data, particularly those generated by a technique known as mass spectrometry. A meeting report with recommendations for the field was recently published simultaneously in four journals simultaneously.

Fully Open Access articles, those published under a CC BY license and the license of choice for PLOS, enjoyed the greatest rate of increase in 2016 compared to other CC licenses, in line with the goals of PLOS. The success of Open Access and increased competition in the publishing landscape brings inherent challenges for PLOS, including decreased submission and publication volumes, revenue and expenses.

Nevertheless, since the Budapest Declaration—which defined the importance of open access and described journals as key to OA—existing open access journals have begun to be identified. In addition, other journals have emerged, which use models that did not exist in the time when only printed journals were available. This paper analyses how the open access movement has affected communication methods and access to scientific output. It also looks at the consequences that OA has had on the development of the publishing sector, and on new models of journals that are not exclusively based on subscriptions. In addition, we summarise some of the trends in electronic publication. From the perspective of the scientific community, these trends are linked to the creation of collaborative environments, data exchange and the reuse of data, among other factors. From a commercial perspective, they represent a transition from a model of content provider to that of service provider. In this context, quality and attractive prices make publishing companies more competitive.   Wed, 15 Aug 2018 19:26:00 -0400 http://bid.ub.edu/20meler2.htm oa.spanish oa.business_models oa.economics_of oa.gold oa.journals Final report - Science as an open enterprise | Royal Society "The Science as an open enterprise report highlights the need to grapple with the huge deluge of data created by modern technologies in order to preserve the principle of openness and to exploit data in ways that have the potential to create a second open science revolution. Exploring massive amounts of data using modern digital technologies has enormous potential for science and its application in public policy and business. The report maps out the changes that are required by scientists, their institutions and those that fund and support science if this potential is to be realised. Areas for action Six key areas for action are highlighted in the report: Scientists need to be more open among themselves and with the public and media Greater recognition needs to be given to the value of data gathering, analysis and communication Common standards for sharing information are required to make it widely usable Publishing data in a reusable form to support findings must be mandatory More experts in managing and supporting the use of digital data are required New software tools need to be developed to analyse the growing amount of data being gathered...."

Information about topical focus and quality of events is not made sufficiently explicit in the existing communication channels where events are announced. Therefore, scholars have to spend a lot of time on reading and assessing calls for papers but might still not find the right event. Additionally, events might be overlooked because of the large number of events announced every day. We introduce OpenResearch, a crowd sourcing platform that supports researchers in collecting, organizing, sharing and disseminating information about scientific events in a structured way. It enables quality-related queries over a multidisciplinary collection of events according to a broad range of criteria such as acceptance rate, sustainability of event series, and reputation of people and organizations. Events are represented in different views using map extensions, calendar and time-line visualizations. We have systematically evaluated the timeliness, usability and performance of OpenResearch.

The prospect of linking these two systems, such that content is automatically harvested from Digital Measures for upload into the Digital Commons, is alluring. Our initial efforts were abandoned due to lack of faculty permissions and low-quality metadata. However, with the passage of an Institutional Open Access Policy, we resumed investigation. We found that the process of harvesting from Digital Measures and uploading to Digital Commons could be streamlined, if not fully automated. Our initial harvest revealed that human-mediation is desirable.
