  • Gold Route Open Access Journals in Engineering and Technology: Analysis of Research Impact and Implications for Scholarly Communication
    Gold Route Open Access Journals in Engineering and Technology: Analysis of Research Impact and Implications for Scholarly Communication Ifeanyi J. Ezema, Ph.D Research Fellow Department of Information Science University of South Africa Nnamdi Azikiwe Library University of Nigeria Nsukka [email protected] Abstract This study examines the research impact of gold open access (OA) journals in engineering and technology. A total of 37 gold route journals that request article processing charges (APC) and 66 other OA journals without APC (i.e., platinum OA) in the field were found in the Directory of Open Access Journals and used for the study. The publishers, APC charges, and the year each journal was added to DOAJ were identified and included in this study. An informetric approach was used to extract research impact indicators (citations, paper productivity, cite/paper, cite/journal, and h-index) of journals. Findings revealed that the publishers of the APC journals were dominated by commercial publishing companies, producing over 60% of the journals. Article processing charges ranged from $7.60 to $3,471.50, with an average of $727.00. Gold route open access (APC) journals performed better than open access non-APC OA journals, since they produced 51.2% of the papers, 71.8% of the total citations, and 65.1% of the total h- index. There was a weak positive correlation between the APC amount of the gold route journals and their research impact. Introduction The past one and a half decades has witnessed a revolution in scholarly communication with the emergence of open access publishing.

Homeostatic plasticity ensures that appropriate levels of activity are maintained through compensatory adjustments in synaptic strength and cellular excitability. For instance, excitatory glutamatergic synapses are strengthened following activity blockade and weakened following increases in spiking activity. This form of plasticity has been described in a wide array of networks at several different stages of development, but most work and reviews have focussed on the excitatory inputs of excitatory neurons.

  • Definitions of Predatory Publishing (E.G., Clark and Smith, 2015; Grudniewicz Et Al., 2019)
    1 The concept of predatory publishing is complex and often controversial. There are numerous – often similar – definitions of predatory publishing (e.g., Clark and Smith, 2015; Grudniewicz et al., 2019). However, these definitions are broad and rely on subjective, normative judgments of best practices and professional ethics in academic publishing. In part due to the subjectivity involved in many definitions of predatory publishing, debates about predatory publishing are often highly contentious. Different scholars and academic stakeholders may have different philosophies and beliefs regarding the appropriateness and legitimacy of varying publishing practices. Our research provides empirical data on non-indexed publishers to enable scholars and academic stakeholders to make informed decisions about the legitimacy – or lack thereof – of journals and publishers, regardless of professional preferences and philosophies. The opacity of peer review in most academic journals makes it difficult to directly observe the legitimacy and quality of peer review. Although manuscript development and gatekeeping processes vary between different journals, it is often difficult to know what happens in the “black box” of peer review. This challenge is compounded with predatory or questionable academic journals, as such publishers often operate in covert and/or deceptive manners. Further, predatory journals and publishers are rarely indexed by institutions like the Web of Science, which makes surveilling and analyzing such journals difficult. However, document data and metadata can provide empirical evidence about the professionalism and operating procedures of questionable academic journals. Using a variety of web scraping techniques, we developed a database of non-indexed academic publishers, which includes numerous publishers on the Cabells Predatory Reports list.

  • Hindawi Publishing Corporation: the Open Access Contributor Pays Model Cairo, Egypt
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation: The Open Access Contributor Pays Model Cairo, Egypt www.hindawi.com JISC Content Ithaka Case Studies in Sustainability Hindawi Publishing Corporation, a Cairo-based for- profit publisher of journals in science, technology and medicine, was founded as a subscription-based publisher in 1997. By 2003, Hindawi had begun exploring Open Access (OA) models, and by 2007 had become an entirely OA publisher; its current list consists of 160 OA journals. Hindawi’s financial model is based on charging contributors a fee per article published, a model also currently used by BioMed Central and the Public Library of Science (PLoS), among others. Since 2007 Hindawi has continued to refine its business model, in particular through its partnership with the scholarly publisher SAGE and by introducing institutional memberships earlier this year. This case study will explore Hindawi’s path to choosing this financial model, the opportunities this choice has offered and the challenges it has posed. Introduction Hindawi Publishing Corporation began in 1997 as a small scholarly publisher of subscription-based peer-reviewed online journals. Its founders, Ahmed Hindawi and Nagwa Abdel- Mottaleb, were motivated to start their company because of their belief that the ‘low cost base and access to a large workforce of ambitious, well-educated young professionals’ in Cairo would allow them to offer ‘a labour-intensive service at a level that is not economically viable for most publishers based in the West’.1 In particular, they built their business by stressing the administrative and editorial support they could offer their editors and referees, the strength of their custom-built web-based submission and publication platform, and the efficiency of their highly automated production process.

  • Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Predatory Publishing but Were Afraid to Ask
    Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Predatory Publishing but Were Afraid to Ask Monica Berger* Introduction: Librarians and Predatory Publishing Librarians have a key role to play in educating users about predatory publishing. Predatory publishing can be described as low quality, amateurish, and often unethical academic publishing that is usually Open Access (OA). Understanding predatory publishing helps authors to make more informed decisions about where to publish. In the process of educating our users, librarians can set the ground for important conversations that encourage critical thinking about the scholarly communications process. Predatory publishing stems from broader prob- lems including overemphasis on publication quantity, an OA models based on traditional, for-profit publishing, and resource disparities in the Global South. When users take fuller responsibility and ownership of scholarly communications, knowledge can be a public good and not a commodity. A more sustainable and just scholarly communications ecosystem can be a reality. As effective advocates for OA, librarians need to be ready to respond to those who conflate OA and preda- tory publishing. It is helpful to contextualize predatory publishing as an aspect of evaluating publishers and the quality of scholarship. This helps promote the idea that due diligence is the responsibility of all scholars, whether as authors, peers, or administrators. Additionally, positioning (deliberate) predatory publishing in the broader arena of unethical and fraudulent scholarly practices helps to decouple predatory publishing from OA and boosts our ability to communicate effectively with non-librarians. Overview Defining predatory publishing is challenging: the word “predatory” may not do justice to a complex subject.

Two methods are employed, a modified replica and a status update of the 2011 journals. Data is drawn From multiple sources and datasets are available as open data (Morrison et al, 2021). Most journals do not charge APCs; this has not changed. The global average per-journal APC increased slightly, from 906 USD to 958 USD, while the per-article average increased from 904 USD to 1,626 USD, indicating that authors choose to publish in more expensive journals.
