As the host country, Russia was represented by over 850 attendees. Other well-represented countries included Turkey, Poland, Italy, USA, Germany, UK, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Korea, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Israel, Greece, The Netherlands, Romania, Croatia, China, Hungary, Slovakia, Switzerland, Austria, Serbia, Sweden, Canada and Finland. In total, delegates from over 50 countries attended. The cohort of invited speakers consisted of over 320 internationally renowned scientists, including 11 Nobel Laureates. We are grateful to all speakers who contributed to the event, resulting in an outstanding scientific program spanning all key areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, cell biology, biophysics and related fields. The motto of the Congress ‘Mechanisms in Biology’ was well substantiated by lectures and talks delivered in almost 40 symposia and 18 plenary sessions. The number of invited speakers, and Nobel Laureates in particular, made it possible for Prof. Israel Pecht, FEBS Secretary General, to mention that this event could be regarded as two Congresses! The opening lecture was delivered by Jules Hoffman, a 2011 Nobel Laureate, who told the story of how work on the Drosophila receptor Toll, and subsequent discovery of pathway homologues in other organisms, has reshaped understanding of innate immunity. The Congress Plenary Lectures – delivered by Geneviève Almouzni, Sidney Altman, Aaron Ciechanover, Pavel Georgiev, Anna-Karin Gustavsson, Jules Hoffmann, Robert Huber, Roger Kornberg, Jean-Marie Lehn, Richard Lerner, Susumu Mitsutake, Richard Roberts, Gottfried Schatz, Joseph Schlessinger, Jack Szostak, Susumu Tonegawa, Kurt Wüthrich, and Ada Yonath – should really become part of the annals of science. All lectures were recorded and, after we receive written consent from lecturers, they will be placed on our website. Those who could not join us in Congress Nobel Laureate speakers at St Petersburg: St Petersburg will then still be able to learn from (left to right, from top) Sidney Altman, Aaron Ciechanover, these masterpieces of research. Roger Kornberg, Jean-Marie Lehn, Jack Szostak, The Congress program included many brilliant Susumu Tonegawa, Kurt Wüthrich, Ada Yonath, symposia, and we highlight just some here. Robert Huber, Jules Hoffmann and Richard Roberts. 3 FEBS News September 2013 CONGRESS ROUND-UP was delivered by Michael Sela (Israel) whose pioneering research has contributed greatly to fighting autoimmune diseases; in addition, very informative presentations were made on targeted elimination of pathologic B cells by new-generation compounds developed to treat autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. Indeed, the implications of molecular findings for understanding and treatment of disease were an interesting part of several symposia – from ‘Organization of Eukaryotic Genomes’ (Chairs: Wendy Bickmore and Sergey Razin; e.g. genome organization and disease development), ‘RNA World’ (Chairs: Olga Dontsova and Eric Westhof; e.g. targeted drug design for bacterial ribosomal proteins), ‘Biocatalysis’ (Chairs: Alexander Gabibov and Michael Blackburn; e.g. implications for future in silico metabolic pathways and applied pharmacokinetic research), and ‘Proteomics and Peptidomics’ (from top) Congress venue, Lenexpo, situated on the Gulf of Finland; (Chairs: Vadim Govorun and Congress poster session (photo by A.

Medicine’ (Chairs: Alexey Egorov, Oleg Kisselev, FEBS supported attendance of young scientists at Serhiy Komisarenko and Tomas Zima) focused on St Petersburg in two ways. First, the main Congress recent advances in treatment of cancer, autoimmune was preceded by the Young Scientists’ Forum and metabolic diseases. One of the keynote lectures (YSF), and 117 grants were awarded to talented 4 FEBS News September 2013 CONGRESS ROUND-UP young researchers to enable them to attend not only the YSF but the main Congress as well; second, 265 young European scientists were awarded FEBS Bursaries this year that covered the registration fee and hotel accommodation. As scientists working in the country hosting the Congress are not eligible for FEBS Bursaries, 198 grants were allocated by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research to support young Russian scientists. Together with 529 scientists under 35 years of age who paid registration fees themselves at the young scientists’ rate (50% of the regular fee), the number of young researchers who attended the event was 1109. We consider this a real success and hope that the 38th FEBS Congress was useful for young people. The Congress organizers received over 1900 abstracts that were published in electronic form as a Supplement to FEBS Journal, and over 1450 abstracts were accepted for poster presentation during the Congress. As an integral part of the Congress scientific program, we also included several satellite

  • Quantitative Portrait of Open Access Mega-Journals
    Malaysian Journal of Library & Information Science, Vol. 24, no.2, August 2019: 115-131 Quantitative portrait of open access mega-journals Mohammadamin Erfanmanesh Department of Library and Information Science Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Nowadays, Open Access Mega-Journals (OAMJs) represent a substantial part of the scholarly communication system. The current research is conducted with the aim of providing better insights into the increasingly important OAMJ phenomenon through investigation of eight reputable titles using established bibliometric methods. Results of the study showed that eight studied OAMJs were responsible for 1.87% of the total number of publication indexed in Web of Science during 2012-2016. Despite the decline in publication count of PLOS ONE over the past couple of years, it was the biggest journal in the world till 2017, when Scientific Reports overtook PLOS ONE as the most productive journal. Over 88% of the papers published in eight selected OAMJs were cited at-least once at the point in time of analysis. The highest proportions of cited and un-cited documents were seen in Scientific Reports and SpringerPlus, respectively. With regard to the three indicators, namely share of highly- cited papers, the category normalized citation impact as well as the JIF percentile, IEEE Access had by far the best performance among eight examined OAMJs. Results of the study revealed that Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Multidisciplinary Sciences, Neurosciences, Oncology and Immunology were the most commonly assigned subject categories to OAMJs’ content.

  • A Presentation of the Self-Publishing Model (SPM) As the Advent of a New Era of Scientific Communication
    Self Publishing Model (SPM) A Presentation of the Self-Publishing Model (SPM) as the Advent of a New Era of Scientific Communication Author: Nour Ouda, Claus Jacob Endorsed by: Claus Jacob Edited by: Ahmad Yaman Abdin and Muhammad Jawad Nasim This manuscript is being published under the auspices of the Self Publishing Movement (SPM) to promote the free and unbiased exchange of scientific knowledge for all. The manuscript has not been refereed in order to protect the originality and to preserve the creativity of the author(s) and her/his/their ideas. Instead, it has been edited and endorsed by peers to ensure that format and content both adhere to acceptable international standards. Endorsements, criticism, comments and debate are always welcome. The intellectual property rights and copyright of this piece of original work reside with the author(s) and due credit should be given if this work is being cited. 0 Self Publishing Model (SPM) Abstract Traditional scientific dissemination via journals is problematic. It restricts the free exchange of knowledge due to financial restraints and, because of a subjective reviewing process, often impinges on authors’ originality. Eventually, important pieces of research are lost, whilst others are skewed in order to please anonymous referees. The Self-Publishing Movement (SPM) considers the free and open access to scientific knowledge as a right for all. Under the auspices of the SPM disseminating and acquiring knowledge is free of charge. The originality and creativity of authors’ work and ideas are preserved by avoiding the influence of referees. The standard linguistic and scientific quality of the work can be maintained by peer editors and endorsers before the dissemination.
