Exploring the Stability of Publication Regimes in Chemistry
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-020-00543-6 OPEN Back to disciplines: exploring the stability of publication regimes in chemistry: the case of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (1879–2010) ✉ Marianne Noel1 1234567890():,; Based on a case study, this article explores the stability of publication regimes (as defined by Hilgartner (2015, 2017)) in chemistry. Starting with a slight detour via open access (OA) policies, it concentrates on the conditions of editorial production and trade of a scholarly journal, from an historical perspective enriched by a sociology of valuation and pricing. Prices are seen as social constructs as I consider the modalities of market coordination among actors of the publishing enterprise in a major scholarly society, the American Chemical Society (ACS). The study focuses on the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), a periodical that was founded in 1879 by the ACS, of which it is the “flagship” journal. The investigation relies mainly on a detailed examination of the JACS imprint from a diachronic perspective (1879–2010). I describe how scientific papers (as singular entities) gradually entered into a commodity market, first with the page-charge mechanism and the imposition of authors’ fees, up to the emergence of the Article Processing Charge (APC) model, where the authors/institutions pay fees to have the electronic versions of their articles in OA. The proposed timeline in five periods is marked by two points of rupture that correspond to State intervention and the adoption of federal laws. Inherited from the deployment of science regimes in the post-WWII period, revenue collection models were collectively invented by the ACS and its members as successive adjustments to address massive imbalances caused by changes in scientific, institutional, and regulatory environments. -

Welcome from the Director Let me illustrate briefly with an example from the field of cli- matology and meteorology: Although resolving convective currents in the atmosphere dramatically improves the quality of weather and climate models, a test we ran on “Piz Daint” in early 2017 showed that such high-resolution simulations are about 100 times too slow to be productive. Thus, it is impor- tant to ensure that such calculations become productive on future supercomputers. However, it is unfortunate that such goals run contrary to ambitions of attaining a high ranking on the TOP500 list. According to the High-Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark on which the list is based, “Piz Daint” has only one-fifth the speed of the computer currently in first place. -

Appeal Kamerlin Et Al
A Response to Plan-S from Academic Researchers: Unethical, Too Risky! Abstract Open access (OA) publishing in general has many advantages over traditional subscription, or toll access (TA), publishing: it not only makes science accessible to a larger public, but also expands the reach of individual researchers and the potential impact of their research. Plan S is a noble effort to move OA forward. However, Plan S targets one audience – TA publishers – without fully considering another – researchers themselves. Providing OA to publications is already possible and becoming common practice among researchers. Existing high-quality hybrid (OA + TA) professional (society) journals provide ample opportunities for OA publishing, while providing excellent quality-control systems based on best practice and long-term experience. Institutional repositories (sponsored by universities or professional societies) support Green OA, which provides researchers the opportunity to make even their exclusively TA publications OA. Yet, in the eyes of certain policy makers and funding bodies, the current system is apparently ‘wrong’ for several unclear reasons. Politicians, research councils, and funding bodies in 11 European countries (cOAlition S) have embraced a policy that favors a particular version of Gold OA and recently decided to accelerate the OA transition by signing on to Plan S. Within 2-3 years, researchers supported by the research councils and funding bodies signing on to Plan S will be required to publish in either purely Gold OA journals – hybrid OA journal publication will be prohibited – or vaguely defined “compliant” OA platforms. Is this really a good idea? Forbidding researchers to publish in existing subscription journals has many unwanted side effects, putting knowledge production & society at severe risk. -

Preprints in Chemistry: an Exploratory Analysis of Differences with Journal Articles
publications Communication Preprints in Chemistry: An Exploratory Analysis of Differences with Journal Articles Mario Pagliaro Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials, Italian National Research Council (CNR), via U. La Malfa 153, 90146 Palermo, Italy; [email protected] Abstract: The exploratory analysis of the differences between preprints and the corresponding peer reviewed journal articles for ten studies first published on ChemRxiv and on Preprints, though statis- tically non-significant, suggests outcomes of relevance for chemistry researchers and educators. The full transition to open science requires new education of doctoral students and young researchers on scholarly communication in the digital age. The preliminary findings of this study will contribute to inform the curriculum of the aforementioned new courses for young chemists, eventually promoting accelerated innovation in a science that, unique amid all basic sciences, originates a huge industry central to the wealth of nations. Keywords: preprints; preprints in chemistry; preprint servers; open science; ChemRxiv; chemistry preprint server; open access 1. Introduction Publishing scientific articles in the form of “preprints” (though most preprints will never have a print version [1]), namely of freely accessible scientific documents posted on the internet before the peer review process, is rapidly replacing the conventional publishing process in several basic sciences. For instance, the publication rate of https://arxiv.org Citation: Pagliaro, M. Preprints in (arXiv), a website managed by the Library of Cornell University, in 2019 approached 13,000 Chemistry: An Exploratory Analysis preprints per month (12,989/month) [2].
