Who is Elsevier | 9 Who is Elsevier? Elsevier Global market leader serving scientists, students, health and information professionals worldwide Founded over 130 years ago 7500 employees in 46 countries Published >420.000+ articles per year in >3.800 journals Received 1.100.000+ submissions per year > 40.000 Books, plus 1-1.5k a year Work with over 30 million scientists, students, health & information professionals globally Over the last 50 years the majority of Noble Laureates have published by Elsevier Elsevier is founder of Research4Life which gives more than Solutions that help 7.500 institutions across 100+ developing countries free or professionals across low cost access to almost 50.000 scientific resources industries make better decisions, get better results and be more productive Who we serve Publishers support the greater scientific and health communities Researchers Health Practitioners Elsevier’s Global Faculty & Publishing Network Students 7,000 Editors Pharma Companies 70,000 Editorial Librarians Board Members Societies 570,000+ Referees Engineers 650,000+ Authors Professionals General Public 3. Technological and Content Innovation The Publishing Industry Over Time… since the first journal was published Tim Berners-Lee 1665 1880 1989 2000 Today 1998-1999 12 Content innovation Why? Because the way that research is done is changing – and the article needs to adapt From “print science” to “digital science” • Give authors a platform to express their research beyond text and images: data, code, multimedia, ... • Give readers the best tools to find research that is relevant for them, build insights fast, and have access to all relevant data and methods An example • Breaking away from “ink on paper” print legacy • Enable authors to better express their research • Use modern web technology for an optimal reading experience From scientists printing out PDF and using a ruler to get to a data point… … to interactive plots embedded in the article! Interactive Plots and Figures Add quality Google Maps Linking with data repositories 15 4. Launching a new journal Launching a Journal Can content growth be absorbed into an existing journal? Existing journals provide a perfect infrastructure for new topics Not possible? Look outside current titles • New areas or niches need a good publishing platform e.g. Medical Physics, Convergent Science, Materials Science, Flexible electronics • Community looking for a “home” • Decision of type of journal – subscription or OA • Editorial relationships • Bibliometrics – takes years to get momentum and listings/rankings • One in 10 launches do great, 3-4 are good, the rest struggle. Break-even on $ investment in < 5 years if lucky. Acquisition and Transfer – Why? • Growth by Acquisition of journals or publishing houses • 30-40 journal acquisitions per annum – normally less than number launched • Adherence to Publishers ‘Transfer Code’ • Time lag to launch new journals • Core subscriptions do not move well across publishing houses – typically 20-40% subscription attrition! 5. Editorial and Marketing Policies Editorial Policies & Ethics 1. Research ethics ─ Authors must not fabricate, falsify or misrepresent data or results. They should strive to be objective, unbiased and truthful in all aspects of their work. 2. Authorship policy ─ authors should ensure that all those who have made a significant contribution are cited as co-authors, and only these people (ICJME rules). 3. Referencing, citation accuracy ─ Avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism, parallel submission etc. 4. Conflicts of interest ─ Authors – employment, consulting fees etc. – transparency is the key ─ Referees – co-worker or collaborator must be avoided 5. Peer review ─ Is always used to evaluate submitted papers Marketing Policies? • Authors – Publisher services ─ Authors papers well exposed on journal and ScienceDirect platform. ─ Alerts sent to readers who requested this service. ─ Listing of top downloaded and top cited papers om journal home page etc. • Authors – Self service ─ Authors allowed to spread full PDF of their paper as link for first 50 days – then DOI link ─ Authors can post accepted author manuscript version on their own web page as part of their author rights ─ Self-marketing tools information on Publishing Campus • Libraries – Publisher services ─ Usage reports to assist portfolio management. ─ Alerts on new and changed journal titles ─ Trainings ─ Promotion material etc 6. Editorial and Peer Review Process Principles of Peer Review Submission minor/major required revisions A well understood Initial changes concept Editor rejection (preliminary Assessment) Without it there is no Reviewer 1 Reviewer 2 control in scientific OUT communication rejection Editor: Decision Journal Editors evaluate accepted and reject certain articles Print Proof prior to external peer Typesetting, review In Press copy editing Branding, logos, PR is a widely understood concept in the academic community page numbers Published 23 Requiring transparency, impartiality, confidentiality and timeliness 7. The Economics of Publishing | 25 The Economics of Publishing – Facts and Figures How do publishers make money on books and journals? “Big deals” to academic libraries (75%) 79% of Elsevier revenue comes Corporate subscriptions (14%) From digital products Author charges on OA journals (5%) Individual subscriptions (3%) Licensing of content (3%) Other income is from indexing tools and software solutions such as SCOPUS, Pure, SciVal, Reaxis etc. – but these have large development costs. 8. Pricing models for journals and e-resources 27 Pricing Models Subscriptions to Journals Single articles • Complete Collection • Pre-paid transactions • Standard Collection • Article Choice • Subject Collection • Freedom Collection • Individual Titles License to Solutions • Scopus • Embase • Reaxis wtc Subscriptions to Journals Complete Collection Electronic access to all of your print journal holdings with access to the current and four previous years of content Standard Collection Allows you to choose journals for electronic access from your Elsevier print holdings on a title-by-title basis, with the option to subscribe to additional electronic-only content.

    Murray State University From the SelectedWorks of Cris Ferguson 2018 Elsevier, bepress, and a Glimpse at the Future of Scholarly Communication Christine L Ferguson, Murray State University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/christine-l-ferguson/45/ Balance Point Elsevier, bepress, and a Glimpse at the Future of Scholarly Communication Cris Ferguson, Column Editor Director of Technical Services, Waterfield Library, Murray State University, Murray, KY 42071; phone: 270-809-5607; email: [email protected]; ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000- 0001-8410-6010 Keywords Elsevier; bepress; open access; Penn Libraries; Digital Commons; scholarly communications Abstract The acquisition of bepress by Elsevier in August 2017, while unpopular among many librarians, provides both companies opportunities for expansion and growth. This Balance Point column outlines some of the benefits to both companies and the reaction by the library community. Also addressed is the announcement by the Penn Libraries that they are searching for a new open source repository potentially to replace bepress’s Digital Commons. The column concludes with some discussion of Elsevier’s relationship with open access content and the impact of the acquisition on the scholarly communications infrastructure. On August 2, 2017, Elsevier announced its acquisition of bepress, the provider of the Digital Commons institutional repository platform. Digital Commons “allows institutions to collect, organize, preserve and disseminate their intellectual output, including preprints, working papers, journals or specific articles, dissertations, theses, conference proceedings and a wide variety of other data” (Elsevier, August 2, 2017). bepress’s other major service, the Experts Gallery Suite, focuses on showcasing the expertise and scholarship of faculty. At the time Elsevier acquired the company, bepress had more than 500 customers using Digital Commons, and over 100 institutions using the Experts Gallery Suite.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Journal of Pragmatics 109 (2017) 47--63 www.elsevier.com/locate/pragma Sequence recompletion: A practice for managing lapses in conversation Elliott M. Hoey * Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, The Netherlands Received 25 August 2016; received in revised form 8 December 2016; accepted 9 December 2016 Abstract Conversational interaction occasionally lapses as topics become exhausted or as participants are left with no obvious thing to talk about next. In this article I look at episodes of ordinary conversation to examine how participants resolve issues of speakership and sequentiality in lapse environments. In particular, I examine one recurrent phenomenon---sequence recompletion---whereby participants bring to completion a sequence of talk that was already treated as complete. Using conversation analysis, I describe four methods for sequence recompletion: turn-exiting,[4_TD$IF] action redoings, delayed replies, and post-sequence transitions. With this practice, participants use verbal and vocal resources to locally manage their participation framework when ending one course of action and potentially starting up a new one. © 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. Keywords:[5_TD$IF] Conversation analysis; Lapses; Sequence organization; Turn-taking; Silence 1. Introduction It is a regular occurrence in conversational interaction for silence to emerge at the end of a sequence of talk, and then for someone to end that silence with some utterance that neither forwards the topic nor implicates some next action. Take for example Extract 1, which begins with Hannah informing Molly about their university's interlibrary loan program (a more technical analysis is given in Section 3).
