E-Journal Management Systems Panel

Abstract

This panel discussed various options and subsequent implications for the management of full-text electronic journal resources. Librarians, commercial vendors, aggregators, and integrated library system representatives shared different perspectives on this rapidly evolving area. It became apparent that regardless of the needs and resources of an institution, viable e-journal management alternatives are available that could address a wide range of functionality and budgetary commitments.     

The Health Sciences Library Network in Russia

Abstract

The recent, important events in the ex-Soviet Union have not only been political. The world of libraries has begun to be opened up and the changes have even reached the most famous institutions, such as, for example, the State Central Scientific Medical Library in Moscow, which is at the head of a network of scientific and research libraries, and has created the first Russian scientific database. This article was written after the congress of the IFLA (International Federation of Librarian Associations) in August 1991.     

Interview with Jake Berry,Editor of Outré, Artifact Collective Texts,Anomaly, The Experioddicist,and Currently 9th St. Laboratories

Alan May interviews the visionary poet Jake Berry, editor of Outré, Artifact Collective Texts, Anomaly, The Experioddicist, and currently 9th St. Laboratories. In the early 1990s, Berry saw the important role the Internet could play in the world of poetry, long before many well-known and award-winning poets began publishing poetry in blogs and e-zines. In this interview, May and Berry discuss the early days of e-mail and Internet literary publishing, and the art of poetry itself as it survives and thrives in the online era.     

论科技期刊的相互联系

从整体而言,期刊因其属性的近似,它们之间有着相互的联系。这种联系应作为一种文化现象,作更深层的理解与思考。作为系统科学,任何期刊都处于纵横交错的复杂联系之中,形成网络结构。这种联系实际上是现代文化背景下的一种交流行为。尽管期刊的联系有其共同基础,但它是错综复杂的,表现为多元化、交叉型、双向性和选择性等特点。期刊的整体联系,大于其纵横联系之和,结构上整体联系是纵横联系的空间构合。期刊相互联系可以增强它们的整体效应,可以提高期刊质量,促进其标准化、规范化,可以提高编辑人员的水平和锤炼编辑队伍,并可以促进期刊的理论建设,对传播学和编辑学的建立和发展有所推动。     

网络期刊的成本分析

网络期刊是现有学术交流体系的重要变革力量，人们也普遍认为网络期刊比传统的印刷期刊成本更低。因此，本文通过全面分析网络期刊的成本结构（尤其是对其成本结构进行微观分析），以说明其对现有学术交流体系产生深刻影响的经济学原因。

Scholarly journal use and reading behavior of social scientists in Taiwan

This paper reports on a study of social scientists’ information seeking and use of scholarly journals to support scholarly communication and information needs. The goals of the study are: to explore the characteristics of information needs for social scientists; to discuss the importance of scholarly journals to social scientists and their information seeking and access means; to identify article reading patterns of social scientists; and to make comparisons between scholarly journals use and reading patterns of social scientists and other scientists in Taiwan and the USA. The author used a questionnaire survey and interview methods to investigate the information seeking, use and reading of scholarly journals, and article deep reading patterns of social scientists. The target population was social science faculty members from National Cheng-chi University in Taiwan. The article explores the characteristics of information needs for social scientists and shows that scholarly journals are important information resources for university social science faculty. Social science faculty in Taiwan use scholarly journals in multiple languages, mainly English, Chinese, German, and Japanese, which is different from scientists in the United States. In addition, they use electronic journals more than print journals. The number of article readings by social science faculty members was approximately 195 readings per year and nearly 440 h were spent reading per year. In contrast to scientists in the United States, the social scientists in Taiwan read fewer readings, spent more time reading, and read older articles. In addition, the study identifies article reading patterns of social scientists and proposes a six-type taxonomy of article deep reading. The study reports the scholarly journal use and reading behavior model of social scientists and shows there are some differences in scholarly journal seeking and use by social science faculty in Taiwan and scientists in the United States. Further studies of scholarly journal and electronic journal use and reading by social scientists across countries, subject disciplines, and languages of journals are needed.

学术期刊开放获取出版定量研究探析

当前学术期刊开放获取（OA）出版定量研究主要集中在增长趋势、影响力和被引优势、成本和效益以及学者的认知、态度和行为四个方面,主要用到文献计量、数学模型估计、问卷调查等方法进行研究。研究表明,OA出版是一种有益于科研领域、社会公共利益和学者个人的出版模式。其可持续发展面临着开放获取期刊（OAJ）供稿量不足、发文量低,OA模式不稳定,存续能力差,学者对其质量存在忧虑且缺乏经费等问题。在OA出版规模不断扩大、商业出版机构参与度高涨的趋势下,要加大对OA发表的费用资助和豁免力度,建立有效的经费补偿和分配机制,要扶持高质量OAJ的发展。未来的研究方向包括：非营利性OAJ运营、OA出版经费解决机制、影响力跟踪评价、社会效益评估、作者OA发表体验。表1。参考文献56。     

Publishing 101: The Basics of Academic Publishing

Rolnik's preconference went well beyond the “business of publishing from a very basic perspective” as described in the conference program. Rolnik's preconference described the publishing market, operations within publishing companies, and how publishers find content. Dr. Peter Binfield, a guest speaker with expertise in society publishing, complemented the preconference.

国内外"开放存取"研究综述

“开放存取(OPEN ACESS)”基于“自由、开放与共享”的理念,依托网络技术,正在成为学术出版和科学信息交流的全新模式。本文着眼于学术信息交流障碍与网络技术两个方面,介绍了开放存取出现的背景;并结合已有的研究成果,分析了开放存取发展的历程,认为对开放存取的发展进行阶段划分为时尚早,至少是一种对“理念”与“模式”的概念不很清楚的表现;文章引证国际上权威机构的著名文献界定了开放存取的内容,并对开放存取的实现途径进行了探讨,认为开放存取期刊和开放存取仓储的创办具有发展前景,指出开放存取出版物的质量问题、运行经费问题、知识产权问题、合作建设与标准化问题等是开放存取中存在的主要问题;文章最后指出,作为传统学术出版模式的强有力的竞争对手,开放存取在国内外同行的关注下一定会取得长足进展。     

Current Initiatives for E-Journal Archives and Perpetual Access at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals

The article discusses the need for initiatives to be undertaken by the King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals Library administration to acquire archives of and perpetual access to its subscribed electronic journals. It also reports the findings of a survey conducted to ascertain the publishers' positions on archiving services and the right to permanently access licensed materials paid for during the period of a license agreement. The findings are expected to help the library to plan for securing the right over a three-year period to ongoing access to the back files of journals from fifteen commercial and society publisher platforms.     

The “invisible hand” of peer review: The implications of author-referee networks on peer review in a scholarly journal

Peer review is not only a quality screening mechanism for scholarly journals. It also connects authors and referees either directly or indirectly. This means that their positions in the network structure of the community could influence the process, while peer review could in turn influence subsequent networking and collaboration. This paper aims to map these complex network implications by looking at 2232 author/referee couples in an interdisciplinary journal that uses double blind peer review. By reconstructing temporal co-authorship networks, we found that referees tended to recommend more positively submissions by authors who were within three steps in their collaboration network. We also found that co-authorship network positions changed after peer review, with the distances between network neighbours decreasing more rapidly than could have been expected had the changes been random. This suggests that peer review could not only reflect but also create and accelerate scientific collaboration.     

预印本学术交流模式演化历程与我国发展对策研究

科学交流载体的演变、开放获取运动的推动及学术出版模式的创新,使预印本逐步成为备受关注的科学交流模式。在相关主体的联合推进下,学术界逐渐接受和认可预印本的学术交流价值。本文梳理了预印本学术交流模式演化历程,将预印本学术交流的发展分为四个阶段：小型学术团体驱动的探索实验期(1990年前)、学科与技术驱动的初创时期(1991—2012年)、多主体驱动的极速扩张时期(2013—2019年)和疫情影响下的加速发展时期(2020年至今)。从平台类型、出版融合、技术创新、学术社区团体、成果认可和运营经费等方面出发,总结归纳预印本学术交流模式的发展特征,并对我国预印本学术交流体系的发展提出对策和建议：(1)加强预印本著作权认可,保障预印本首发权认定;(2)促进预印本和期刊协同发展,形成统一的开放学术出版流程;(3)构建预印本论文开放评议机制,化解“以刊评文”难题;(4)营造预印本学术交流氛围,培育中国预印本文化;(5)开放互联形成集群效应,提升预印本平台的国际影响力。图1。参考文献44。
