This document discusses institutional identification in the scholarly publishing industry. It provides background on the Rockefeller University and its publishing arm, the Rockefeller University Press. It then discusses problems that arise from misidentification of institutions, such as slow order processing and interrupted access. Finally, it outlines various industry efforts to standardize institutional identification, such as the International Committee on Electronic Data Interchange for Serials (ICEDIS) and its messages for subscription orders and claims.
The document discusses an alliance between the American Anthropological Association, University of California Press, and Atypon Systems to create AnthroSource, an online portal for anthropological research. Each partner brings strengths - AAA provides the scholarly network, UCP provides publishing experience, and Atypon provides technology. Challenges included differing expectations, timelines shifting, and disruptions from unanticipated events. To repair issues, the partners must identify root problems, focus on communication, have frank discussions on roles and performance, and work closely on their shared vision while avoiding assumptions.
This document discusses the role of scholarly publishers in the digital age and the challenges they face. It notes that publishers provide value through peer review, editing, and navigation/search features for online content. However, digital content has characteristics like dynamic updates and various file formats that impact archiving and access over time. New models are needed to address issues like long-term preservation, customized access options, and integrating related datasets. Publishers will need to explore alternative revenue sources beyond annual subscriptions to support these evolving roles and responsibilities. Collaboration across institutions will be important to develop solutions and standards.
This document outlines a publishing company's plan to transform its in-house editors by extending offshore outsourcing to editorial functions. The goals are to achieve additional cost savings, increase project management offshore to allow staff redirection, and transform editors' roles to focus on developmental editing earlier in the process. Editors will work with authors from signing through submission to ensure continuity and improve manuscript quality. This transformation is meant to free up in-house staff from repetitive tasks and improve efficiency throughout the publishing process.
The Eigenfactor Metrics provide concise summaries of scholarly journals that take into account the entire network of citations among journals, unlike the traditional Impact Factor. The Eigenfactor algorithm represents this network as a directed weighted graph and calculates the importance of each journal based on its role in the network, with more important journals receiving more weight from other important journals that cite them. This provides a more comprehensive view of a journal's scholarly influence and importance than simply counting citations.
The document discusses social media tools and how they have evolved for scientific publishing and peer review. It provides examples of how various social media platforms like Twitter, blogs, and wikis can be used for sharing scientific content and facilitating peer discussions. It also examines some challenges around using these new tools, such as issues of moderation and audience, and questions whether publishers or academia should lead the way in integrating social media into the formal publishing process.
The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of publishing e-books. It outlines several benefits of e-books, including new revenue streams, increased exposure and traffic, and potential to drive print sales. However, it also notes that publishing e-books requires decisions around technology, business models, sales channels, content, administration, the relationship with print books, and costs. It provides details on factors to consider for each of these areas when developing an e-book strategy.
Camille Carter is the Director of Book Production and Manufacturing at John Wiley & Sons. She discusses the book production process at Wiley, which has transitioned from primarily print to incorporating more electronic formats. The traditional process involves copy editing, typesetting, proofreading, and printing. Now, digital files are also used to create ebooks and online versions. Quality assurance testing of electronic files is important before publication on websites and distribution to vendors.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Charles B. Lowry about the current state of publishing and libraries. It discusses how research library budgets are being reduced due to the current fiscal climate. Many libraries have experienced budget cuts between 3-5% which have impacted staffing, operations, and acquisitions. It also outlines trends in scholarly communication such as the growth of new publication models and how libraries are building relationships with faculty to promote changes. Finally, it discusses how libraries must adapt to new roles in supporting digital scholarship and collaborating more closely with faculty.

Hicks - Relationship between professional media and research liteature in ame...innovationoecd
This document analyzes the relationship between professional media and research literature in American dentistry. It finds that dental media frequently discusses recent research findings, with about 6% of articles referencing research papers. Media sources cover research from a variety of journals across dentistry. Case studies of cone beam computed tomography literature show growth in both research publications and media coverage over time, with some media specifically focusing on discussing research results. Topic modeling reveals overlaps between topics discussed in research versus dental media.
In less than a decade the internet has provided us access to enormous quantities of chemistry data. Chemists have embraced the web as a rich source of data and knowledge. However, all that glisters is not gold and while online searches can now provide us access to information associated with many tens of millions of chemicals, can allow us to traverse patents, publications and public domain databases the promise of high quality data on the web needs to be tempered with caution.
In recent years the crowdsourcing approach to developing curated content has been growing. Can such approaches allow us to bring to bear the collective wisdom of the crowd to validate and enhance the availability of trusted chemistry data online or are algorithms likely to be more powerful in terms of validating data? While it is now possible to search the web using a query language form natural to chemists – that of “structure searching the web” - increasingly scientists are likely going to have to accept joint responsibility for the quality of data online for the foreseeable future. Their participation is likely to come through engaging in open science, the provision of data under open licenses and by offering their skills to the community.
This presentation will provide an overview of the present state of chemistry data online, the challenges and risks of managing and accessing data in the wild and how an internet for chemistry continues to expand in scope and possibilities.
Proving our worth: finding allies in strategic communicationJason Smith
Symmetry magazine was created in 2004 as a joint effort between Fermilab and SLAC to communicate particle physics research funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to key audiences like policymakers and funding agencies. The magazine aims to present particle physics as a vibrant field, show its many aspects and connections, and help secure its future by giving funding agencies a platform and helping justify budgets. While traditional metrics like subscriptions don't fully capture the magazine's impact on key stakeholders, feedback from allies in the DOE indicates it is useful, and forming alliances may be the best way to prove the return on investment of strategic communication efforts.

Submitted February 25, 2014; accepted April 21, 2014; published December 15, 2014.
Open-access is a model for publishing scholarly, peer-reviewed journals on the Internet that relies on
sources of funding other than subscription fees. Some publishers and editors have exploited the
author-pays model of open-access, publishing for their own profit. Submissions are encouraged
through widely distributed e-mails on behalf of a growing number of journals that may accept many
or all submissions and subject them to little, if any, peer review or editorial oversight. Bogus con-
ference invitations are distributed in a similar fashion. The results of these less than ethical practices
might include loss of faculty member time and money, inappropriate article inclusions in curriculum
vitae, and costs to the college or funding source.

INTRODUCTION
The advent of the Internet age and digitization of data
resulted in many changes, one of which was the concept of
peer-reviewed, open-access (OA) publishing with free
availabilitytoanyonewithInternetservices.Thistransition
increased when the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
began requiring that any manuscript resulting from its
funding be made publicly available via PubMed. The num-
ber of high-quality scientific research manuscripts pub-
lished via OA continues to increase. Unfortunately, there
has also been an increase in attempts to exploit the OA
concept for profit by requiring authors to pay for publica-
tion up front and performing none of the peer review ad-
vertised. These groups market their “services” through
e-mails to scientists and faculty members, offering recipi-
entstheopportunitytopublisharticlesin anewonlinepeer-
reviewed journal, to serve as a reviewer or editor of a new
journal, or to speak or host a roundtable discussionat a con-
ference, which may be described as “global” or “interna-
tional.” The objective of this article is to describe some of
these practices and ways to avoid them.
DEVELOPMENT OF OPEN ACCESS
PUBLISHING
The publishing paradigm has changed from print-
only subscriptions to digitally available and free scientific
publications. Nature was first published in 1869, Science
in 1880, and subsequently scientific journal publishing
has increased to the point of a new paper being published
every 20 seconds.1 In 2000, the future of scientific pub-
lishing was changed by the debut of PubMed Central and
the Public Library of Science (PLoS). The next year,
thousands of scientists called for a boycott of journals that
would not allow free access on PubMed within 6 months.
In 2002, for-profit Biomed Central began charging
authors $500 to publish. In 2003, PLoS Biology was
launched, charging authors.
The document discusses trends in scholarly communications and open access publishing. It provides an overview of types of communication used by associations, including scientific, professional, and public communications. It then summarizes trends like increasing demand for free access to information, the challenges of online vs print publishing, and initiatives to support open access models like PubMed Central and the Public Library of Science.

The document discusses diversity and inclusion in mentorship at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It describes the ASCE Diversity & Inclusion Council established in 2014 with a mission to foster understanding and cultivate an inclusive workforce. The council has 13 members from different departments, designations, races, ethnicities, and genders. It also works with a separate committee for ASCE's over 150,000 members from 177 countries. Activities to promote diversity include highlighting heritage months, lunch-and-learn sessions on topics like disability etiquette and working styles, and inviting outside speakers on bias. Mentorship can be formal or informal and aims to bridge gaps in skills, self-awareness, and confidence through
The Mentorship Program at T&F was created in 2010 based on employee feedback requesting guidance and support from experienced employees. The program is informal with 1:1 mentoring relationships lasting 6-12 months between employees in different divisions. Over 70 matches have been made in 5 years with only 2 not working out. Benefits include 20% of participants being promoted, 10% transferring, and under 5% turnover. The program increased employee engagement and led to improved productivity and cost savings.
This document discusses mentoring at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). It provides details about the pilot mentoring program launched in 2014 and the full program launched in 2015. Key points include pairing mentees and mentors, providing training and guidelines, and collecting feedback. The program aimed to facilitate a culture shift at ASCE to emphasize core values like trust, teamwork and excellence. Lessons learned include ensuring mentors and mentees are a good match and maintaining expectations. The author provides their own experience being paired as a mentor and mentee.
The document discusses advice and mentorship. It presents a series of fictional scenarios where a person seeks advice at different career stages and receives both helpful and unhelpful advice. It then provides recommendations for finding mentors and making the most of advice received, such as looking across different fields, mentoring others, and remembering that not all advice should be followed. The overall message is that while advice can be good or bad, it is still useful to consider different perspectives to help advance one's career.
October Ivins has worked in various library and information science roles since 1985, including positions at UNC Chapel Hill Library, LSU Baton Rouge Library, and UT Austin. She has been involved with professional organizations like ALA, NASIG, and SSP since 1981. As an independent consultant since 2001, Ivins mentors others on career development topics such as getting the most out of conferences, choosing positions, supervisor and coworker issues, and professional associations. Her document provides advice on training opportunities, managing staff, getting referrals, and preparing for phone interviews.
Early in one's career, a formal mentor is not necessary as support can be found from observing mid-to-late career colleagues. Peer mentoring through collaboration with other managers, especially other women managers, can also be effective. As careers advance, having a women mentor becomes important as women face unique challenges in the workplace and mentors help other women navigate their careers. Without any mentor, one risks lacking career advice, feeling stagnant in their career progression, and experiencing periods of career confusion with no expert to provide guidance.
Adrian Stanley discussed his experience mentoring fellows through the SSP program. He explained that mentoring involves softer guidance to help mentees develop over the long term through balanced listening, directing, and connecting. Fellows benefit from the experience and connections of mentors, who can help open doors, share new perspectives, and make introductions to expand networks and opportunities in the industry. Feedback from fellows showed mentoring helped them learn from experience, feel more included and secure asking questions, and broaden their industry perspectives.
The document discusses two kinds of mentorship at the nonprofit organization BioOne. It provides an overview of BioOne's mission to make scientific research more accessible and its founding by both library and publisher interests. It then defines a "culture of mentorship" as a work environment where employees feel comfortable getting advice from supervisors and colleagues, who see them as whole people rather than just skills. The second kind of mentorship is described as a more traditional unofficial mentor who provides professional guidance. It concludes by listing the executive staff of BioOne and contact information for the speaker.
This document provides a summary of October Ivins' career experience and areas of expertise. It lists her educational background, including degrees from UNC Chapel Hill Library in 1974-1985, UNC Chapel Hill SILS in 1985-1987, and LSU Baton Rouge Library in 1987-1995. It also outlines her work experience at UT Austin SILS from 1995-1998, Publist.com from 1998-2000, Booktech.com from 2000-2001, and as an independent consultant from 2001-present. The document then discusses how her definition of an information professional has loosened over time to include various managerial roles. It concludes by listing topics she provides career coaching and mentoring on, such as choosing jobs
Mohammad H Asadi Lari presented on creating an office culture of mentorship from the perspective of an early career student and mentee. He discussed his experiences being mentored through the SSP Fellowship program and beyond. Emerging trends in early career mentorship include more organizations introducing formal mentorship opportunities and an increase in both professional and peer mentoring models. Mentorship provides visible benefits like networking and career development, as well as hidden benefits beyond initial programs.
This document discusses opportunities for Western academic publishers in China. It notes that China is a rapidly growing market with increasing research output and funding. However, it is also highly competitive. The document outlines several strategies publishers can consider to engage with the Chinese market, including developing local language materials, using social media platforms allowed in China, attending Chinese conferences, exploring co-publishing opportunities with Chinese partners, and developing a long-term strategic plan focused on impact and relationships within China. It also discusses China's increasing open access policies and investments in research universities that could affect publishing opportunities.
This document discusses JSTOR's growing participation in Turkey from 1999-2014. It shows that participation grew slowly at first but increased significantly after the Turkish government began funding access to JSTOR collections through the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium in 2005. Participation and number of collections licensed continued to grow steadily through partnerships with the consortium and engaging a licensing agent in 2013. While agents can help with local representation, awareness, and relationships, they also present challenges of managing expectations, competing demands, and individuals not reporting to JSTOR.
