Exploring the Stability of Publication Regimes in Chemistry
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00543-6 OPEN Back to disciplines: exploring the stability of publication regimes in chemistry: the case of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (1879–2010) ✉ Marianne Noel1 1234567890():,; Based on a case study, this article explores the stability of publication regimes (as defined by Hilgartner (2015, 2017)) in chemistry. Starting with a slight detour via open access (OA) policies, it concentrates on the conditions of editorial production and trade of a scholarly journal, from an historical perspective enriched by a sociology of valuation and pricing. Prices are seen as social constructs as I consider the modalities of market coordination among actors of the publishing enterprise in a major scholarly society, the American Chemical Society (ACS). The study focuses on the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), a periodical that was founded in 1879 by the ACS, of which it is the “flagship” journal. The investigation relies mainly on a detailed examination of the JACS imprint from a diachronic perspective (1879–2010). I describe how scientific papers (as singular entities) gradually entered into a commodity market, first with the page-charge mechanism and the imposition of authors’ fees, up to the emergence of the Article Processing Charge (APC) model, where the authors/institutions pay fees to have the electronic versions of their articles in OA. The proposed timeline in five periods is marked by two points of rupture that correspond to State intervention and the adoption of federal laws. Inherited from the deployment of science regimes in the post-WWII period, revenue collection models were collectively invented by the ACS and its members as successive adjustments to address massive imbalances caused by changes in scientific, institutional, and regulatory environments. -

Publishing Scientific Articles in the Digital Era
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 20 August 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints201910.0057.v5 Publishing Scientific Articles in the Digital Era Mario Pagliaro Istituto per lo Studio dei Materiali Nanostrutturati, CNR, via U. La Malfa 153, 90146 Palermo, Italy; E‐mail: [email protected] Abstract: In the digital era in which over 4 billion people regularly access the internet, the conventional process of publishing scientific articles in academic journals following peer review is undergoing profound changes. Following physics and mathematics scholars who started to publish their work on the freely accessible arXiv server in the early 1990s, researchers of all disciplines increasingly publish scientific articles in the form of freely accessible and fully citeable preprints before or in parallel to conventional submission to academic journals for peer review. The full transition to open science, I argue in this study, requires to expand the education of students and young researchers to include scholarly communication in the digital era. Keywords: scientific publishing; scientific journals; scholarly publishing; scientific papers; open science; scientific articles 1. Introduction In the digital era in which as of mid 2020, about 60 percent of the global population (close to 4.57 billion people) actively use the internet [1], publishing scientific articles in scientific journals to share and disseminate scientific advances in principle is no longer necessary. Following physics, scholars who publish their work online on the arXiv server since the early 1990s, scholars of all disciplines increasingly publish the outcomes of their work in the form of scientific papers called “preprints” in one of the numerous preprint servers offering free hosting (and free access) to scientific articles before or in parallel to conventional submission of the manuscript to academic journals for peer review. -

Open Access Publishing in Chemistry | Mario Pagliaro
Insights – 34, 2021 Open access publishing in chemistry | Mario Pagliaro Open access publishing in chemistry: a practical perspective informing new education In the late 1990s chemists were among the early adopters of open access (OA) publishing. As also happened with preprints, the early successful adoption of OA publishing by chemists subsequently slowed down. In 2016 chemistry was found to be the discipline with the lowest proportion of OA articles in articles published between 2009 and 2015. To benefit from open science in terms of enhanced citations, collaboration, job and funding opportunities, chemistry scholars need updated information (and education) of practical relevance about open science. Suggesting avenues for quick uptake of OA publishing from chemists in both developed and developing countries, this article offers a critical perspective on academic publishing in the chemical sciences that will be useful to inform that education. Keywords open access; open science; education; open access in chemistry; preprints; open chemistry MARIO PAGLIARO Research Director Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials CNR Palermo Italy Introduction In the late 1990s, chemistry scholars were among the first adopters of open access (OA) publishing in the early digital era, namely of publishing scientific articles in journals freely accessible on the internet. Writing in 2007 in one such new OA journal, Todd reported that in chemistry there were ‘over 50 ‘chemistry scholars open access journals’.1 Examples include Arkivoc publishing OA papers were among the first on synthetic organic chemistry since 2000 and the Beilstein Journal of adopters of open Organic Chemistry launched in 2005.

Preprints in Chemistry: an Exploratory Analysis of Differences with Journal Articles
publications Communication Preprints in Chemistry: An Exploratory Analysis of Differences with Journal Articles Mario Pagliaro Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials, Italian National Research Council (CNR), via U. La Malfa 153, 90146 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: The exploratory analysis of the differences between preprints and the corresponding peer reviewed journal articles for ten studies first published on ChemRxiv and on Preprints, though statis- tically non-significant, suggests outcomes of relevance for chemistry researchers and educators. The full transition to open science requires new education of doctoral students and young researchers on scholarly communication in the digital age. The preliminary findings of this study will contribute to inform the curriculum of the aforementioned new courses for young chemists, eventually promoting accelerated innovation in a science that, unique amid all basic sciences, originates a huge industry central to the wealth of nations. Keywords: preprints; preprints in chemistry; preprint servers; open science; ChemRxiv; chemistry preprint server; open access 1. Introduction Publishing scientific articles in the form of “preprints” (though most preprints will never have a print version [1]), namely of freely accessible scientific documents posted on the internet before the peer review process, is rapidly replacing the conventional publishing process in several basic sciences. For instance, the publication rate of https://arxiv.org Citation: Pagliaro, M. Preprints in (arXiv), a website managed by the Library of Cornell University, in 2019 approached 13,000 Chemistry: An Exploratory Analysis preprints per month (12,989/month) [2].
