About Pubrica

3. The Internet quickly changes how academic research
findings are shared within groups and with the general
public.
The European Commission has suggested a proposal to
alter the way academic research journal is published, with
assistance from a group of high-profile donors, to expedite
change and make the findings of research quickly and
freely available online for anyone to read and use Here, to
explore the plan’s anticipated influence on the publishing
environment, as well as its potential advantages and
unexpected consequences.
In Brief
Contd...

4. It’s tough to be published in significant publications. But, it’s also really satisfying. Successful
authors understand that the publication process may be a lengthy, challenging, and sometimes
unsafe journey
The first — and most crucial — stage in the trip is imagination, which entails generating an
exciting research topic that, if answered correctly, will have an impact on how we think and act.

5. Publish or Perish?
In the life of an academic, journal publishing is critical.
It hurts if someone else publishes comparable work earlier
or in a “high impact publication” with a larger readership.
Such occurrences can influence whether or not an
academic gets employed and whether or not their study is
supported.
Publishing is essential because academics put their
research to the test and share the results with peers and
the general public.

6. The primary output of most sponsored research
is peer-reviewed publications and their related
data.
They are a significant source of trustworthy
public information utilised to develop technology
and guide future funding and policy choices.
In today’s society, information is a valuable
commodity (2).

7. The Problems With Publishing
Broad accessibility: Papers from the past and present
should be available for as large an audience as possible to
quickly read and apply their results.
Peer review of high quality: Papers should be edited and
evaluated objectively by relevant specialists in the area to
validate and improve the quality of published work.
A good publication system should meet the following
requirements:
Contd...

9. Papers should be prepared and organised clearly and concisely.
Verification standards: There should be checks for plagiarism and requirements to
rectify the record if mistakes are discovered (e.g., retractions and corrections) (3).

10. Evolution or Revolution?
There are several reasons to request to see significant changes in
how academic publication operates.
The Internet has opened up a slide of new possibilities and
problems.
Many journals now enable articles to be viewed for free at the time
of publication in exchange for an open access fee to cover the
expenses of online journal publication without a subscription.
Furthermore, most journals enable authors to upload an electronic
version of their article before peer review or prepublication,
making the work available to the public, prompting some to
imagine a future in which publications are changed and
evaluated after being made public.

11. There have been some movements toward journals having a more open
review process, where the reviews and the names of reviewers are made
available.
Journals such as PLoS ONE have emerged with low standards for potential
field impact, which can only be fully assessed retrospectively in any event.
Communities attempt to promote, critique, and evaluate critical articles in
their fields, regardless of where they were uploaded or published (e.g., F1000
and Pre-lights).
As a result, the nature of science communication is rapidly evolving.
Contd...

12. Plan S was drafted by the European Commission and
pushed by several major European research funders.
The strategy emphasises broad accessibility, based on
the belief that individuals have a moral right to “free
access to all scientific papers from publicly financed
research.”
It aims to accelerate the alteration of the academic
publishing market by imposingrules that limit the types
of journals in which authors can publish: “After 1 January
2020, scientific publications on the results of research
funded by public contributions provided by national and
European research councils and funding groups must be
published in compliant Open Access journals or on
compliant Open Access platforms.” (4)

13. Over many years, the present publication system has
evolved.
It is far from ideal, yet science has flourished under this
system.
With the introduction of the Internet, the rate of change
has accelerated considerably.
As a result, open access publication of peer-reviewed
papers (and publicly accessible posts) currently accounts
for a substantial portion of the sector and is expanding.
Evolution

14. Most academic journals enable authors to self-archive their work on a publically
accessible webpage.
The system is evolving.
In graceful of these developments, while we agree with Plan S’s goal of increasing
access to published work, we believe that rushing to implement change, which will
begin in about six months, without considering the possible negative
consequences, is irresponsible.
Moreover, plan S has the potential to cause unneeded conflict and confusion in a
community that, in the post-truth age, stands out as a haven where shared ideals
and agreed-upon norms of transparency and objectivity have allowed steady growth
on solid foundations(5).

15. Conclusion
To conclude, now that Plan S has gotten everyone’s
attention, let’s make use of the momentum to revisit the
present system’s flaws and implore everyone’s opinion
(academics, donors, the general public, and publishers)
on how to improve it.
Everyone agrees that greater accessibility is beneficial,
and however, it should be the goal to achieve it by
evolution rather than revolution.
