Hybrid Journals: Ensuring Systematic and Standard Discoverability of the Latest Open Access Articles

An important current challenge for research information providers is ensuring the automated discovery of Open Access (OA) content in hybrid journals. We found no evidence of discovery services that are able to systematically identify the crucially important free full-text availability of OA articles regardless of where and how such articles have been published (i.e., in fully OA journals or in hybrid journals). A solution is important because hybrid journals are proliferating and consequently the chances of missing OA articles is real and is happening. Nearly all of the major publishers now provide such journals in order to take advantage of recent changes in research funder requirements, and to be competitive in the new OA business model. By working with a group of scholarly publisher partners and by using standard metadata elements that publishers are already familiar with, we show a systematic and standardized manner to identify OA at the article level. Our proposal is to embed OA-related elements in the metadata freely exposed by publishers for aggregators and discovery services. For example, in the Table of Content (TOC) Really Simple Syndication feeds the publishers use to announce new journal issues and content. Based on the initial results obtained, we discuss the capabilities of our solution, and evaluate the impact produced by our application in the systematic discoverability of OA content from the participating hybrid journals, using an implementation done with the freely available journal current awareness service—JournalTOCs.     

Actions and Updates on the Standards and Best Practices Front

Four standards and best practices recently released or currently underway at the National Information Standards Organization were presented: Knowledge Bases and Related Tools, Presentation and Identification of E-Journals, Open Discovery Initiative, and Open Access Metadata Indicators. Basics outlining the creation work and deliverables were shared for each project. Applicability of these standards and best practices for different stakeholders of the information community were discussed.

标准化:产业与技术协同发展的重要基石

随着产业和技术的快速发展,标准化对于实现两者协同发展的重要性日益凸显。文章首先界定了标准化、产业与技术发展之间的关系,明确了标准化对产业与技术发展的支撑作用,进而从要素分析和框架构建的视角提出了三者之间的协同发展模式,即构建以标准化为核心的国家产业技术基础架构,并提出了相应的政策建议。     

标准必要专利数据库评析

专利信息承载着技术、法律、商业等多方面情报,是一种重要的战略性信息资源。标准必要专利信息作为一种特殊的专利信息,是技术标准信息与专利信息叠加的产物。在把握标准必要专利特征的基础上,重点对比分析国际上主要标准化组织必要专利数据库的优势与劣势。利用ISO、ITU与ETSI三大标准化组织的标准必要专利数据库获取专利信息,进行数据信息的预处理及基于专利计量的统计分析,实现对全球标准必要专利发展现状的综合评价,呼吁重视标准必要专利信息的研究与跟踪,提出加快构建我国标准必要专利数据库的建议。

教学标准是“培养什么人、怎样培养人”的基本要求,制定具有区域产业特点及校本特色的专业教学标准,能够使高职院校为区域经济社会和企业提供高水平的智力支撑,促进高职教育服务区域产业能力的提升,实现人才培养质量和办学水平的提高。     

《AutoCAD》教学与《机械制图》国家标准

近年来,随着计算机技术的发展,计算机绘图逐步取代了图板和手工绘图。工科院校均开设了AutoCAD这门课程。AutoCAD软件的功能强大,但它的初始模板在许多方面不符合我国《机械制图》国家标准。该课程仅要求学生如何使用AutoCAD,并没有涉及到较多的国家标准知识。因此,如何教授学生使用AutoCAD绘制出符合国家标准的图样值得注意和研究。     

An empirical study on the determinants of essential patent claims in compatibility standards

In the field of compatibility standards, an increasing number of companies claim to own so-called essential patents (i.e. those patents that are indispensable for designing and manufacturing products conforming to the standard). It is widely believed that the ownership of such patents is a very valuable bargaining tool in cross-license negotiations, while for non-producing firms such patents may result in a substantial stream of licensing revenues. In this paper we study the determinants of essential patent claims in compatibility standards. In particular, we assess the role of two main factors: the significance of the technological solution contained in the patent and the involvement of the applicant of the patent in the standardisation process. We examine the case of W-CDMA, one of the most successful standards in mobile telecommunications. We compare the patents claimed essential for this standard with a control group of randomly selected, unclaimed patents covering the same time period and technology classes. We find empirical evidence that both factors have significant impact on the probability that a patent is claimed as essential, but the involvement in the standardisation process is a stronger determinant than the technical value (‘merit’) of the patent. On the basis of our findings, we offer policy recommendations.
