  • 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.

  • Publishing Scientific Articles in the Digital Era
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 20 August 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints201910.0057.v5 Publishing Scientific Articles in the Digital Era Mario Pagliaro Istituto per lo Studio dei Materiali Nanostrutturati, CNR, via U. La Malfa 153, 90146 Palermo, Italy; E‐mail: [email protected] Abstract: In the digital era in which over 4 billion people regularly access the internet, the conventional process of publishing scientific articles in academic journals following peer review is undergoing profound changes. Following physics and mathematics scholars who started to publish their work on the freely accessible arXiv server in the early 1990s, researchers of all disciplines increasingly publish scientific articles in the form of freely accessible and fully citeable preprints before or in parallel to conventional submission to academic journals for peer review. The full transition to open science, I argue in this study, requires to expand the education of students and young researchers to include scholarly communication in the digital era. Keywords: scientific publishing; scientific journals; scholarly publishing; scientific papers; open science; scientific articles 1. Introduction In the digital era in which as of mid 2020, about 60 percent of the global population (close to 4.57 billion people) actively use the internet [1], publishing scientific articles in scientific journals to share and disseminate scientific advances in principle is no longer necessary. Following physics, scholars who publish their work online on the arXiv server since the early 1990s, scholars of all disciplines increasingly publish the outcomes of their work in the form of scientific papers called “preprints” in one of the numerous preprint servers offering free hosting (and free access) to scientific articles before or in parallel to conventional submission of the manuscript to academic journals for peer review.

  • 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.

  • Open Access Publishing in Chemistry | Mario Pagliaro
    Insights – 34, 2021 Open access publishing in chemistry | Mario Pagliaro Open access publishing in chemistry: a practical perspective informing new education In the late 1990s chemists were among the early adopters of open access (OA) publishing. As also happened with preprints, the early successful adoption of OA publishing by chemists subsequently slowed down. In 2016 chemistry was found to be the discipline with the lowest proportion of OA articles in articles published between 2009 and 2015. To benefit from open science in terms of enhanced citations, collaboration, job and funding opportunities, chemistry scholars need updated information (and education) of practical relevance about open science. Suggesting avenues for quick uptake of OA publishing from chemists in both developed and developing countries, this article offers a critical perspective on academic publishing in the chemical sciences that will be useful to inform that education. Keywords open access; open science; education; open access in chemistry; preprints; open chemistry MARIO PAGLIARO Research Director Institute for the Study of Nanostructured Materials CNR Palermo Italy Introduction In the late 1990s, chemistry scholars were among the first adopters of open access (OA) publishing in the early digital era, namely of publishing scientific articles in journals freely accessible on the internet. Writing in 2007 in one such new OA journal, Todd reported that in chemistry there were ‘over 50 ‘chemistry scholars open access journals’.1 Examples include Arkivoc publishing OA papers were among the first on synthetic organic chemistry since 2000 and the Beilstein Journal of adopters of open Organic Chemistry launched in 2005. Neither journal requires authors to access publishing’ pay an article processing charge (APC).
