However, most published works that focus on scholarly communication issues do not target the specific discipline, and instead take a more “one size fits all” approach. When it comes to scholarly communication, practices and traditions vary greatly across the disciplines. It is important to look at issues such as open access (of all types), reproducibility, research data management, citation metrics, the emergence of preprint options, the evolution of new peer review models, coauthorship conventions, and use of scholarly networking sites such as ResearchGate and Academia.edu from a disciplinary perspective. Important issues in scholarly publishing for psychology include uptake of authors’ use of open access megajournals, how open science is represented in psychology journals, challenges of interdisciplinarity, and how authors avail themselves of green and gold open access strategies. This overview presents a discipline- focused treatment of selected scholarly communication topics that will allow psychology researchers and others to get up to speed on this expansive topic. Further study into researcher behavior in terms of scholarly communication in psychology would create more understanding of existing culture as well as provide early career researchers with a more effective roadmap to the current landscape. As no other single work provides a study of scholarly communication and open access in psychology, this work aims to partially fill that niche. 5 Scholarly Communication and Open Access in Psychology: Current Considerations for Researchers Across the disciplines, scholarly communication is in a time of disruption and transition. It is important to understand the current landscape through a disciplinary lens, and from a stakeholder perspective. Whether researcher, author, librarian, or publisher, this is a fast moving time of rapid change, largely due to technological advances and the power and reach of the internet. In terms of psychology, some traditional aspects of scholarly publishing remain the same, while many others continue to evolve. Authors find themselves writing for the more global audience that the internet continues to enable. Sharing articles online with colleagues near and far has become part of research culture, and collaboration is now possible across and between institutions and countries. Publishers are adapting to a changing culture of scholarly sharing and networking that authors have come to expect from the internet culture. Universities want to take advantage of services that showcase the work of their authors, using new metrics and research information systems that demonstrate impact in an age of assessment. One major aspect of this new scholarly landscape is the phenomenon of open access. Open access has grown and become mainstream and many versions of a single article can exist in multiple institutional or subject repositories online. Readers find these early articles more easily discoverable via searching the popular Google Scholar, and by using new tools such as Unpaywall (http://unpaywall.org/), a free service that provides enhanced discoverability and access to available repository versions of subscription articles. (Chawla, 2017a) Alternately, the Open Access Button (https://openaccessbutton.org/) can assist readers unaffiliated with subscribing institutions in accessing the scholarly literature. The future of scholarly publishing is in some ways unclear, but it does include more open access of all types, enhanced collaboration, more online sharing of research results, and increasing accessibility to the data that underlies and supplements scholarly publications. Funders are increasingly mandating that authors and universities provide open access to the results of taxpayer funded research, even as there are fewer research dollars available than in the past. Research libraries are also undergoing seismic changes, and librarians are increasingly taking on consulting roles in scholarly communication and open access areas. In this complex environment, faculty, students and researchers may be seeking information on products, systems, new modes of publishing, and other strategies so that they may be able to take advantage of the myriad opportunities that the internet is providing to share the results of research. Communication of research findings to the public via the internet has become an expectation of funders, universities and readers, and psychological science has many opportunities to reach larger audiences of interested readers than in the days when print materials could be accessed on site in public research libraries or via interlibrary loan by request of the reader from their public libraries. The transformational move from print to electronic dissemination of research information was messy and chaotic at times, but at this point it can be said that most of the research level 6 journal literature in psychology has been moved to the online environment, accessed either free or via library or personal subscriptions on the internet. Many traditional aspects remain, such as the specific field differences in scholarly communication practices that continue on. The standards for scholarly communication in psychology will continue based on field traditions and transitions through evolutions in technology as well as various factors such as a continued emphasis on assessment of scholars and universities. The wheels of change turn slowly in the promotion and tenure systems and cultures of most universities, many of whom have adopted an “audit culture” that has added increasing pressure to a system

  • How to Search for Academic Journal Articles Online
    How to search for Academic Journal Articles Online While you CAN get to the online resources from the library page, I find that getting onto MyUT and clicking the LIBRARY TAB is much easier and much more familiar. I will start from there: Within the Library tab, there is a box called “Electronic Resources” and within that box is a hyperlink that will take you to “Research Databases by Name.” Click that link as shown below: The page it will take you looks like the picture below. Click “Listed by Name.” This will take you to a list starting with A, and the top selection is the one you want, it is called “Academic Search Complete.” Click it as pictured below: THIS SECTION IS ONLY IF YOU ARE ON AN OFF-CAMPUS COMPUTER: You will be required to log-in if you are off campus. The First page looks like this: Use the pull-down menu to find “University of Toledo” The Branch should default to “Main Campus,” which is what you want. Then click “Submit.” Next it will ask for you First and Last Name and your Rocket ID. If you want to use your social security number, that is also acceptable (but a little scary.). If you use your rocket ID, be sure to include the R at the beginning of the number. Then click Submit again and you are IN. The opening page has the searchbox right in the middle. When searching, start narrow and then get broader if you do not find enough results. For Example, when researching Ceremony by Leslie Silko, you may want your first search to be “Silko, Ceremony.” If you don’t find enough articles, you may then want to just search “Silko.” Finally, you may have to search for “Native American Literature.” And so on and so forth.

  • Systemic Explanations of Scientific Misconduct: Provoked By
    Journal of Academic Ethics https://doi.org/10.1007/s10805-020-09389-8 Systemic Explanations of Scientifc Misconduct: Provoked by Spectacular Cases of Norm Violation? Pieter Huistra1 · Herman Paul2 Accepted: 14 December 2020 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In the past two decades, individual explanations of scientifc misconduct (‘bad apples’) have increasingly given way to systemic explanations (‘bad systems’). Where did this interest in systemic factors (publication pressure, competition for research funding) come from? Given that research ethicists often present their interventions as responses to scientifc misconduct, this article tests the hypothesis that these systemic explanations were triggered by high-visibility cases of scientifc norm violation. It does so by examining why Dutch scientists in 2011 explained Diederik Stapel’s grand-scale data fabrication largely in systemic terms, whereas only ffteen years earlier, in the René Diekstra afair (1996), such explanations had been close to absent. Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, the article suggests that cases like Stapel’s as such do not explain why early 21st-century commentators exchanged individual explanations for systemic ones. Only against the background of an existing discourse of criticism of the science system, developed in the 1990s and 2000s in response to rapidly increasing competition for research funding, could the Stapel afair achieve notoriety as an example of how systemic factors provoke bad conduct. Keywords Scientifc misconduct · Questionable research practices · Research funding · Research integrity · Diederik Stapel · René Diekstra Introduction When textbooks in research ethics try to situate their feld in history, they typically attrib- ute its emergence, situated in the aftermath of World War II, to a widely shared sense that horrors like human experimentation in the German concentration camps should be prevented from happening ever again.
