Brief presentation of Open Scholar and the LIBRE project at the Information Days on Horizon 2020 Research Infrastructures Work Programme 2014-2015 with focus on e-Infrastructures
The document discusses the evolution of peer review in scientific publishing from traditional peer review to more modern approaches. It outlines traditional peer review which has been used by most journals since World War 2 with one editor and 2-3 reviewers. Preprint servers emerged in 1991 allowing fast publication without review. Impact-neutral review began in the 2000s prioritizing scientific soundness over impact. Frontiers journals adopted collaborative peer review in 2007 with a two-phase process, transparency, and real-time discussion between authors and reviewers. Open access journals now number over 350 specialties publishing high volumes of research.
The Crossref Experience at AOSIS - Pierre de Villiers - Crossref LIVE South A...Crossref
Pierre de Villiers from AOSIS talks about their experience in using Crossref including the Similarity Check and Cited-By services. Presented at Crossref LIVE Cape Town, 19th April 2018.
The document discusses open access (OA), which refers to unrestricted online access to scholarly articles and other publications. It outlines the benefits of OA such as increased visibility, usage, and impact of research. OA can be provided through self-archiving publications in institutional repositories ("green OA") or publishing in an open access journal ("gold OA"). The document promotes adopting OA practices and addresses related issues like intellectual property rights and publication fees. It provides examples of OA repositories, journals, and initiatives in India.
This document summarizes key aspects of open access publishing such as the two main pathways of green and gold open access. It defines important terms like article processing charges (APC), Creative Commons licenses, embargo periods, and the differences between gold and green open access models. The document also provides references for further reading on topics like the growth of open access journals and a study of journals using article processing charges.
Open access refers to freely available scholarly works online. This can be achieved through depositing works in institutional or subject repositories, or publishing in open access journals. Much of this open scholarship is indexed by Google Scholar, providing international exposure that benefits both readers and authors. The document then defines various types of open access models such as gold, green, and hybrid open access and pre-print and post-print versions of works.
Since 1992 the World Wide Web has radically changed the way that we live and work. For most of us, living without the Internet would be like living without water or electricity. As research has become increasingly collaborative, possibilities for communication and collaboration on the Web have also increased. Virtual communities in science such as EiVillage and BioMedNet began to spring up in the 1990s. The earliest virtual community in chemistry, ChemWeb.com, was announced in August 1996 and launched in April 1997. At its peak it offered access to books, journals and databases, and member-generated content, together with discussion groups, virtual conferences and a chemistry preprint server. Eventually its owners started to lose interest; if only they had known what would follow with the advent of Web 2.0 in 2004. The world has since moved on from “e-everything” (e-mail, e-journals, e-commerce) to mobile technologies and “i-everything”, and experimentation in publishing has moved on too. An example is ScienceOpen, an open access scholarly publisher with a new network-based approach, and the mantra “access, network, organize, publish”. It was launched at the end of 2013 with more than one million freely accessible papers in multiple disciplines. It offers authors tools to collect feedback in one place, manage draft versions and share files, to make collaborating on a paper together easy. Its scientific network forms the basis for public, post-publication peer review. ChemWeb.com was ahead of its time. Is the chemistry world now ready for new ventures such as ScienceOpen? In the world of open access, open data and open science what might happen next?

The presentation encourages researchers to communicate work online and include digital object identifiers to help capture altmetrics.
Changing the Structure of Scholarly Publishing: Open Access, Open Archives, a...John McDonald
Traditional scholarly publishing involves commercial and society journals with editorial boards and peer review. New publishing models like open access, open archives, and author self-archiving have emerged due to electronic publishing advantages and rising journal costs. Open access involves free access to content while retaining traditional structures. Open archives allow free depositing of articles in repositories. Author self-archiving allows authors to publish their own research freely online. These new models shift costs from consumers to producers and provide quick publication but quality assurance and discoverability are concerns that need to be addressed for viability. A mix of models is predicted to continue with disadvantages regarding organization, discoverability, quality, and access.

Supporting Bibliometrics by Jenny Delasalle, Academic Support Manager (Research), University of Warwick. Presentation at the Research Evaluation: Is It Our Business? The Role of Librarians in the Brave New World of Research Evaluation 29 June 2011, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston Campus.
Dr. Anthony Beck proposes creating an open methodology store to facilitate collaborative development of research methods. The store would be a repository where users can deposit, share, tag, link, and develop methods in a transparent and open process. By making methods openly accessible, it aims to prevent duplicate work and allow all sectors to participate while capturing discussions around method development. The vision is for a system that links related methods and allows rich data like workflows to be submitted and reused across scientific communities.

Open access provides free online access to scholarly research. It benefits authors through increased visibility and impact, readers by removing access barriers, and universities by showcasing their research. Open access is achieved through open access repositories which make publications freely available or open access journals which do not charge subscription fees. While initially concerned about losses, publishers have increasingly accepted open access through allowing repository deposits and offering open access publication options.
Presentation by Dr Tom Olijhoek, Editor-in-Chief, at NEICON/ASEP Conference, May 17, 2016, Moscow, on the status of DOAJ post the shut-down of the reapplication project
Academic libraries play an important role in supporting research in three key areas:
1. They facilitate literature searches through discovery services, subject databases, and remote access to subscribed resources. They also guide researchers on open access publishing and predatory journals.
2. They provide information literacy instruction and reference services to help researchers effectively find and evaluate information.
3. They assist researchers in managing their research profiles and outputs to increase visibility and track citations. This includes guidance on ORCID, Google Scholar, and Scopus profiles as well as publishing and citation metrics.
As part of Open Access Week 2016 John Murtagh, Research Publications Manager at LSHTM gives a briefing on OA and how researchers can make their work Open Access without having to pay for it via the Gold Open Access route.
Over 90% of journals allow a final draft version of the paper to be self-archived in a research repository - making that research OA. John outlines what OA is, the different types and methods currently available in publishing and how researchers can achieve. Also covered is how to keep your self-archiving author rights using an author addendum and how to use Research Online effectively for wider dissemination. Also covered is making book chapters OA, the REF OA requirements and using the SHERPA RoMEO/FACT service to searching journal self-archiving policies.

The document is a letter from Pandelis Perakakis declining to publish a manuscript with a journal after the journal shared the manuscript with an anonymous expert without authorization. Perakakis had submitted the manuscript along with Mr. Rosen, who has since left for the Soviet Union. Perakakis states he sees no reason to address the erroneous comments from the anonymous expert and will instead publish the paper elsewhere due to this incident.
Dr. Pandelis Perakakis argues that true science must be open science. He outlines three key points of open science: having an open mind and being skeptical, considering all data, and having no investment in experimental outcomes. However, the current academic system rewards competition over collaboration and closed access over openness. The two main open access strategies are gold, which funds open access publication fees, and green, which archives articles in institutional repositories. While green access does not generate revenue, gold represents a new business opportunity for publishers by opening authors as potential new customers.
"One damned thing after another”: The journal monopoly, how it came to be, wh...Pandelis Perakakis
This document summarizes the issues around journal monopolies and open access publishing. It discusses how journal publishing became concentrated in the hands of a few large commercial publishers, and how this impacts scientific communication. It also outlines some potential solutions to increase open access, such as self-archiving papers in open repositories and publishing in open access journals. The key issues are the lack of competition in scientific publishing and the need for more affordable and open dissemination of research.
Validation, Evaluation, Dissemination: Academia’s gravest problems show the w...Pandelis Perakakis
The document discusses issues with the current systems of validation, evaluation, and dissemination of scholarly research that are controlled by journals. It argues that journal peer review does not always ensure quality, reproducibility, or reliability of research. It also asserts that the current systems focus more on where research is published rather than its actual contents, and that alternative models based on open peer review in repositories could help address these problems by providing more transparency, expert review, and dynamic assessment. The document presents examples of repositories and modules that aim to pilot such alternative systems.
A 2-day lecture on breathing training focused on emotional disorders, such as generalised anxiety and panic. Includes slides on respiratory physiology, hyperventilation syndrome, respiratory muscles and breathing modification.
The problem of accessibility to scientific research is already solved through Green Open Access. More serious and important problems are those of validation and evaluation that still depend exclusively on academic journals. I propose to dissociate these processes from academic journals and show an easy way to do exactly that taking advantage mostly of existing infrastructure.
Este documento trata sobre el asma. Define el asma como un trastorno inflamatorio crónico de las vías respiratorias asociado con obstrucción reversible y mayor sensibilidad a estímulos. Explica que la inflamación juega un papel clave pero no se evalúa directamente, y que la educación respiratoria puede reemplazar el uso de broncodilatadores. También discute conceptos erróneos sobre la respiración y cómo normalizarla a través de la postura, relajación muscular y ejercicios de hipoventilación
Presentation on Independent Open Peer Review by Michael Taylor at the OpenAIRE-COAR Conference: "Open Access Movement to Reality: Putting the Pieces Together" held in Athens.
On Thursday 5th of December, Open Scholar co-founder Pandelis Perakakis gave a talk on how to move beyond open access and face academia’s real problems, at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. The talk focused on how the journal monopoly over three of the most basic processes in scholarly communication —validation, evaluation and dissemination— is creating problems even more important than the lack of accessibility to research output. The LIBRE platform was presented as an alternative, free, journal-independent, community-based model of research validation and evaluation where the author is at the center of an open and transparent peer review process.
