Given the strategies of interpretation. complexity of the scholarly publishing system, this is no trivial task and involves a multitude of decisions. This briefing paper focuses on monitoring scholarly research articles, but many of the considerations also apply to academic books and other publication types, although differences are acknowledged, such as metadata availability. Monitoring the costs of Open Access publishing is recognised as an essential issue for RFOs and RPOs. of Science Europe Member However, this is not included in the scope of this Organisations who responded to document due to the diverse funding and financial a 2018 internal survey, declared practices at national and institutional levels. that they planned to (further) develop Open Access monitoring mechanisms in the future. Out of 36 Member Organisations, 26 responded to the survey on Monitoring Compliance with Open Access Policies. 7 Open Access monitoring exercises serve a range of purposes, from taking a snapshot of publication numbers, status, and venues, to trying to evaluate the impact of existing policy measures. Achieving actionable results by collecting and analysing a set of data on scholarly publications must take organisation-specific demands and requirements into account. To set up an effective monitoring exercise, its aims must be defined as clearly as possible. 8 Open Access Monitoring: Guidelines and Recommendations for Research Organisations and Funders 2. WHY Measure Publication Status? Assessing the Open Access status of scholarly are they published?

    Tropical Ecology 59(3): 431–443, 2018 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology www.tropecol.com Global research trends in ‘Ecology’: A scientometric analysis 1* 2 ANWESHA BORTHAKUR & PARDEEP SINGH 1Centre for Studies in Science Policy, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi-110067, India 2Department of Environmental Studies, PGDAV College, University of Delhi, New Delhi-110065, India Abstract: Ecological research has observed a near constant growth during the past few decades. Considering the significance and diversity of ecological research with regard to both its vastness and specificity, this paper is an attempt to map out the research activities in ‘ecology’ through a ‘scientometric analysis’ of the world research outputs. The aim was to identify and document the historical and current research trajectories in the subject. We recognize the fact that in the absence of an in-depth analysis of the trends in research, it is utterly possible that some areas of research get more than adequate attention from the global research and policy community while some equally important areas of the subject remain completely unaddressed or neglected. The study was carried out using two major databases – Scopus and SCImago for the 21 years period from 1996 to 2016 by means of a defined scientific method. Among the several interesting observations, we have found that apart from China, no countries and research institutes from the global south are listed among the top 10 research producing countries/institutes on ecology. Considering the fact that majority of the ecologically sensitive areas and biodiversity hotspots of the world are located in the developing world and have significance influences on the ecological processes across the globe, this calls for immediate attention from the research community.

Elizabeth Price, James Madison University Available at: https://works.bepress.com/elizabeth-price/10/ Subject: PSQ Internet Resources Column Email body: Elizabeth Price Research and Instruction Librarian Murray State University [email protected] SHERPA RoMEO and SHERPA JULIET www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo and http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/juliet Visited: Spring 2016 Reviewer: Elizabeth Price, Research and Instruction Librarian, Murray State University SHERPA RoMEO is a searchable database of publisher’s policies to help academic researchers self-archive their work without violating their publishing agreements. Its companion site, SHERPA JULIET, is a database of funding agencies’ grant conditions that are related to the self-archiving or open access publishing of research publications and data. Both tools are based at the University of Nottingham and are part of how SHERPA Services “is investigating issues in the future of scholarly communication.” Of the two, RoMEO is relevant to a wider variety of researchers. Its primary goal is eliminating confusion for authors who support open access or want to make their peer-reviewed scholarship available to a wider audience. Using the basic search function, one can search by journal title, partial journal title, ISSN or publisher. RoMEO does not apply to book publication agreements. RoMEO uses colors to code different levels of self-archiving permissions. They apply to pre- prints (the draft of a manuscript submitted for peer-review), post-prints (the version of the manuscript submitted for printing after peer-review) and the publisher’s version/PDF (the version of record that is published on the publisher’s website).

International positioning 14 INTRODUCTION The international movement towards Open Science started more than 30 years ago and has undergone unprecedented development since the web made it possible on a global scale with reasonable costs. The dissemination of scientific production on the Internet, its identification and archiving lift the barriers to permanent access without challenging the protection of personal data or intellectual property. Now is the time to make it “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”. Open Science is not only about promoting a transversal approach to the sharing of scientific results. By opening up data, processes, codes, methods or protocols, it also offers a new way of doing science.

We selected this number as a threshold to define and study outlier, hyperprolific authors. Of course, published papers may reflect the final presentation of work that has happened over many years, but focusing on calendar years allows to study peaks in productivity and to use a clearly definable time unit. 1 We identified all author records in Scopus that included 73 or more published full papers in any single calendar year between 2000 and 2016. Full papers included in our analysis are the ones classified as Articles, Conference Papers and Reviews in Scopus. All other Scopus categories of published items (Editorials, Letters, Notes, Short Surveys, Errata, and so forth) were excluded. Papers take variable amounts of effort to produce. For items such as editorials, notes, letters to the editor, in theory large numbers of publications are possible to produce by authors who have a talent, proclivity or obsession for writing; such works may occasionally be very important and influential, but they take, on average, substantially less time to produce than Articles, Conference Papers and Reviews.

Insights – 32, 2019 Plan S and the future of scholarly communication | Rob Johnson From coalition to commons: Plan S and the future of scholarly communication The announcement of Plan S in September 2018 triggered a wide-ranging debate over how best to accelerate the shift to open access. The Plan’s ten principles represent a call for the creation of an intellectual commons, to be brought into being through collective action by funders and managed through regulated market mechanisms. As it gathers both momentum and critics, the coalition must grapple with questions of equity, efficiency and sustainability. The work of Elinor Ostrom has shown that successful management of the commons frequently relies on polycentricity and adaptive governance. The Plan S principles must therefore function as an overarching framework within which local actors retain some autonomy, and should remain open to amendment as the scholarly communication landscape evolves.

  • Market Power in the Academic Publishing Industry
    Market Power in the Academic Publishing Industry What is an Academic Journal? • A serial publication containing recent academic papers in a certain field. • The main method for communicating the results of recent research in the academic community. Why is Market Power important to think about? • Commercial academic journal publishers use market power to artificially inflate subscription prices. • This practice drains the resources of libraries, to the detriment of the public. How Does Academic Publishing Work? • Author writes paper and submits to journal. • Paper is evaluated by peer reviewers (other researchers in the field). • If accepted, the paper is published. • Libraries pay for subscriptions to the journal. The market does not serve the interests of the public • Universities are forced to “double-pay”. 1. The university funds research 2. The results of the research are given away for free to journal publishers 3. The university library must pay to get the research back in the form of journals Subscription Prices are Outrageous • The highest-priced journals are those in the fields of science, technology, and medicine (or STM fields). • Since 1985, the average price of a journal has risen more than 215 percent—four times the average rate of inflation. • This rise in prices, combined with the CA budget crisis, has caused UC Berkeley’s library to cancel many subscriptions, threatening the library’s reputation. A Comparison Why are prices so high? Commercial publishers use market power to charge inflated prices. Why do commercial publishers have market power? • They control the most prestigious, high- quality journals in many fields. • Demand is highly inelastic for high-quality journals.
