A presentation made to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Office of Science & Engineering Laboratories on the current state of open access in the United States and how DOAJ is tackling issues of quality in open access publishing
A presentation on predatory publishing, in the Information Interventions series, sponsored by the LACUNY Scholarly Communications Roundtable , the CUNY Office of Library Services, and Just Publics @ 365.
It is critical to understand the history and background of predatory publishing, a fairly recent phenomenon, whether you are an author or a librarian called upon to assess a publisher. This talk addresses the politics of Gold Open Access, the Bohannon "sting," and the issue of "third world-ism." Red herrings of predatory publishers are an especially useful aspect of this presentation.

Virtual Training conducted by Librarians among Postgraduate students and faculty at Egerton University with an aim of enhancing discoverability of the e-resources that the university subscribes
Workshop de autores realizado em parceria com os editores da Springer Nature, Biblioteca Central e Biblioteca do Biociências da UFRGS, dia 25 de outubro de 2018. Ministrante Christina Eckey.
Target audience: graduate students or beginning faculty who want to publish in scholarly or academic journals. Includes info about selecting & targeting the right journal, preparing and submitting a manuscript, and responding to decisions.
What is meant by ‘predatory publisher’? Who is preyed on and by whom? What are the consequences of this publishing phenomenon? The Director of the US ISSN Center will draw on the experience of the ISSN Network and National Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore these issues. Criteria for inclusion in NLM’s indexes and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), as well as criteria for denying or revoking an ISSN, will be outlined. Statistics on the ubiquity and longevity of these publications, their impact on ISSN and NLM, and the role of librarians will be discussed.

Identificación de comunidades a partir de los metadatos a nivel de autorJournals Authors
Este taller fue dictado por Adolfo Abadía el 8 de noviembre de 2023 en el 5.° Encuentro Regional de Editores de Revistas Académicas. El Análisis de Redes Sociales (SNA) es una técnica matemática que permite una evaluación simultánea de las relaciones dentro de un grupo (red), las cualidades de cada miembro del grupo (nodos) y sus vínculos (aristas). También es una estrategia de visualización de datos que utiliza gráficos para mostrar información relacionada con patrones de relaciones. En este taller llevaremos a cabo un ejercicio de generación de una red autores conectándolos a partir de su información de país de origen lo que nos permitirá hacer una mirada al nivel de internacionalización de la comunidad de autores de artículos en revistas o libros. Para ellos usaremos el software libre Gephi. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.27342.84808

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
5. Introducción
• Predatory publishers = Editores depredadores
• Scholarly publishing = Edición académica
• Science and pseudo-science = La ciencia y la pseudo-ciencia
• Scholarly publishing scams = Estafas en la edición académica
• The open-access movement = El movimento de acceso abierto
6. Publishing models for scholarly journals
Modelos de edición de revistas académicas
• Traditional (subscription) model
• Hybrid open-access
• Platinum open-access = free to author, free to reader
• Delayed open access = subscription model but OA after some
time
• Gold open access = free to reader, author pays a fee
7. Predatory publishers and journals
Editores y revistas depredadores
• Predatory publishers (journals) are those that exploit the gold open-
access model for their own profit
• They take advantage of, exploit, and pander (complacen las exigencias
de) to scholarly authors
• They pretend (fingen) to be legitimate, copying established and
respected journals' websites and practices
• Many do a poor or fake peer review
• Some name themselves as "Institutes," "Associations," or "Centers"
• Some operate as single mega-journals
8. Gold (author pays) open-access [1]
• Publishing costs financed by fees charged to authors upon
acceptance of their articles
• The customers are the authors (not libraries, not readers)
• Low barrier to startup
• Immediate revenue generation
• Low overhead
• Proven business model, easy to copy
• Ever-growing customer base
9. Gold (author pays) open-access [2]
• Conflict of interest: More articles = more publisher income
• No organization looks out for the interests of scholarly authors
• Makes it hard for scholarly societies to generate income from
their publishing programs
• Making publishing free for authors would solve many problems
• We're giving up on the selectivity that the subscription
publishing model provided
14. History of predatory publishers
• I first started to receive spam email solicitations from
publishers in 2008 and 2009
• My first publication about a predatory publisher was in 2009
• I coined the term "predatory publisher" in summer 2010
• I started my blog in early 2012 — and ended it in 2017
• Not all open-access journals are predatory
18. How predatory publishers damage science [1]
• They've increased published research misconduct (mala conducta
en la investigación), such as plagiarism
• The pseudo-science they publish gets indexed in Google Scholar
and other academic indexes
• They threaten demarcation, the division between science and
pseudo-science, the cumulative nature of research (naturaleza
cumulativa de la investigación)
• They feed bogus research to societal institutions that depend on
authentic science
• They publish activist science and conspiracy-theory science
(ciencia de teoría de la conspiración)
19. How predatory publishers damage science [2]
• They are polluting taxonomy
• Many also sponsor bogus scholarly conferences
• Pharmaceutical entrepreneurs are using predatory
publishers to make invented compounds appear efficacious
• Author fees (tasas de publicación) may prevent some authors
from being able to publish their work, especially those in
middle-income countries and unaffiliated researchers
20. Five theses on scholarly publishing
Cinco tesis sobre la edición académica
• The open-access model has created more serious problems than
those it has solved.
• Green open-access is essentially dead.
• Academic libraries should not take on the role of scholarly publishers
= Las bibliotecas académicas no deben asumir el papel de los editores
académicos.
• Open access is disintermediating academic librarians = El acceso
abierto causa la desintermediación de los bibliotecarios académicos
21. Napoleon A. Chagnon
“… anthropology has
become more like a
religion — where major
truths are established
by faith, not facts”
(p. 232).
23. Predatory Journals and Academic Evaluation [1]
• Universities use scholarly publications as a measure of academic
achievement
• Academic managers want objective evaluation methods: lists,
bibliometrics (bibliometría)
• Scholarly publishing has changed, but evaluation systems have not
changed
• It is very easy now to get an article published in an OA journal
• Evaluation systems based on counting are no longer valid
• Some researchers take advantage of easy publishing
24. Predatory Journals and Academic Evaluation [2]
•At many universities, academic evaluation is
broken
•If you use a whitelist, many seek out the
list’s “easiest” journals
•Researchers who publish in top journals feel
cheated
26. Indirect Victims of Predatory Publishers
• Those who are inundated with spam
• Those preparing literature reviews (Revisiones literarias)
• Those preparing review articles and systematic reviews (Revisiones
sistemáticas), and meta-analyses (metaanálisis)
• Those who take the high road, only to see colleagues advance
academically through high numbers of publications in predatory
journals
• Students preparing class papers
31. The stigma of predatory publishers
• Publishing an article in a predatory journal can harm a researcher's
reputation
• Membership on a predatory journal's editorial board (consejo de
redacción) reflects poorly on the individual and his institution
• Articles published in legitimate journals that cite conclusions from
earlier articles in predatory journals may be seen as questionable =
• Los artículos publicados en revistas legítimas que citan conclusiones
de artículos publicados anteriormente en revistas depredadores
pueden ser vistos como cuestionables
33. Science
“Since science is our most reliable source of
knowledge, in a wide variety of areas, we
need to distinguish scientific knowledge
from its look-alikes.”
“Dado que la ciencia es nuestra fuente de
conocimiento más fiable, en una amplia
variedad de áreas, necesitamos distinguir el
conocimiento científico de sus semejantes.”
—S.O. Hansson.
34. Conclusion
• The author-pays model is a major cultural change in scholarly
publishing that has led to the creation of many scams
• We have given up on selectivity in scholarly publishing = Hemos
renunciado a la selectividad en la publicación académica
• Predatory journals threaten the integrity of science
• Scholarly authors are now consumers of publishing services, but
there's no organization that represents their interests
