  • Interactive Journal Concept for Improved Scientific Publishing and Quality Assurance 105
    Interactive journal concept for improved scientific publishing and quality assurance 105 Learned Publishing (2004)17, 105–113 Interactive ntroduction and motivation journal concept A large proportion of scientific publi- cations are careless, useless or false, I and inhibit scholarly communication and scientific progress. This statement may for improved sound provocative, but unfortunately is not an exaggeration. The spectacular recent cases of scientific fraud (e.g. Nature 2003:422, 92–3; Nature scientific 2002:419, 419–21; Science 2003:299, 31; Science 2002:298, 961) are only the tip of the iceberg. Many scientific papers fail to provide sufficiently accurate and detailed publishing and information to ensure that fellow research- ers can efficiently repeat the experiments or calculations and directly follow the line of quality assurance arguments leading to the presented con- clusions. Even in reputable peer-reviewed journals with high impact factors many Ulrich Pöschl contributions exhibit a lack of scientific Technical University of Munich rigour and thorough discussion.

This is lishing just as much and as fast as possible, caused by the failure of traditional journal rather than participation in vital scientific publishing and peer review to provide efficient exchange and discussion.

  • Where to Publish?
    Where to publish? A Handbook of Scientific Journals for Contributors to Marine Conservation Joshua Cinner and Anya Jaeckli ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, James Cook University, Townsville, AUSTRALIA. Email: [email protected] Version: September 2018 1 Foreword Deciding where to publish can be important- even career changing. A paper in the right journal can make a career, sometimes even define a field, while the same type of research may fade to oblivion in the wrong venue. Knowing which journals are well suited to your research is an important part of being a scientist. For many scientists, there is a wide range of potential venues. So many, in fact, that many of us often forget what the available options are. Here, we compiled a guide of what we consider key journals in interdisciplinary field of marine resource management. We excluded journals that had a focus on pure, rather than applied ecology, geomorphology, or social science. A lot goes into deciding where to publish- popular metrics such as the impact factor are often used, but it is our feeling that this should be done with great caution. For example, just because a journal has a low impact factor does not mean it is not incredibly influential. Here, we present a number of journal metrics, including impact factor, Scimago Journal Rank (SJR), H-index, and others (which we describe in detail below) for 63 journals that publish interdisciplinary papers on marine resource management. We also provide a description of the aims and scope of the journal (from the journal’s website), and in a few cases, we provide some personal notes about the journal.

  • Ocean Data Publication Cookbook
    Manuals and Guides 64 Ocean Data Publication Cookbook UNESCO Manuals and Guides 64 Ocean Data Publication Cookbook UNESCO 2013 IOC Manuals and Guides 64 Version 1 March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This “Cookbook” has been written for data managers and librarians who are interested in assigning a permanent identifier to a dataset for the purposes of publishing that dataset online and for the citation of that dataset within the scientific literature. A formal publishing process adds value to the dataset for the data originators as well as for future users of the data. Value may be added by providing an indication of the scientific quality and importance of the dataset (as measured through a process of peer review), and by ensuring that the dataset is complete, frozen and has enough supporting metadata and other information to allow it to be used by others. Publishing a dataset also implies a commitment to persistence of the data and allows data producers to obtain academic credit for their work in creating the datasets. One form of persistent identifier is the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). A DOI is a character string (a "digital identifier") used to provide a unique identity of an object such as an electronic document. Metadata about the object is stored in association with the DOI name and this metadata may include a location where the object can be found. The DOI for a document is permanent, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to an online document by its DOI provides more stable linking than simply referring to it by its URL, because if its URL changes, the publisher need only update the metadata for the DOI to link to the new URL.

Mitchell1 Received: 10 September 2018 / Published online: 26 May 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Oceanography and marine geosciences are closely related subjects, though they have had difering infuences. The UK, which has experienced the fnancial benefts of North Sea oil and gas, while also having an extensive fshing industry and a science base linked to other English-speaking countries and European countries, potentially illustrates some changing infuences and collaborative tendencies well. In this article, diferences in article publication rates and collaborative tendencies, both globally and for the UK, are exam- ined using the Web of Science™, Scopus™ and Georef™ for the period 1946–2018. The results show that publication rates of global oceanography articles rose exponentially faster than all global scientifc publishing from the mid-1960s to 1980. Subsequently, the expo- nential rate of increase slowed though has remained faster than global science publishing. Global Marine Geoscience publication rates increased into the late 1980s, but have since declined. UK oceanography has roughly followed global trends, though its share of global oceanographic publishing declined from 28% in the 1950s to 8% in 2018.

  • Open Access Articles Receive More Citations in Hybrid Marine Ecology Journals
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Open access articles receive more citations in hybrid marine ecology journals † Jeff C. Clementsa* aDepartment of Biological Sciences, University of New Brunswick, 100 Tucker Park Road, P.O. Box 5050, Saint John, NB E2L 4L5, Canada *[email protected] † Present address: Department of Health Management, Atlantic Veterinary College, University of Prince Edward Island, 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4P3, Canada Abstract The accumulation of evidence that open access publishing can increase citation rates highlights one benefit of universal accessibility to scholarly works. However, studies investigating the effect of open access publishing on citations are typically conducted across a wide variety of journals and disciplines, introducing a number of potential issues and limiting their utility for specific disci- plines. Here, I used three primary marine ecology journals with an open access option as a “micro- cosm” of scientific publishing to determine whether or not open access articles received more citations than non-open access articles during the same time frame, controlling for self-citations, article type, and journal impact factor. I also tested for the effects of time since publication and the number of authors. Citations were positively correlated with time since publication and differed across the three journals. In addition, open access articles received significantly more citations than non-open access articles. Self-citations increased with author number and were affected by a complex interaction between open access, journal, and time since publication. This study demon- OPEN ACCESS stratesthatopenaccessarticlesreceivemorecitationsinhybridmarineecologyjournals,although the causal factors driving this trend are unknown.
