OFAC problems resolved: Scholarly publishing process exempt from OFAC restrictions

Publication really is the brick in the wall of scientific advancement. It facilitates the important communication of research from scientists around the world, driving forward key discoveries, whilst enhancing the careers of those that have toiled over the lab bench. However, especially early in your career, it is easy to focus on what to publish rather than how to publish. With the changing landscape of scholarly publishing and the move to a more open research culture, there has never been a better time to get clued up on the ins and outs of the publishing process. This guide aims to answer all your essential publishing questions, so that when it comes to preparing your research paper you are well informed about the publishing practicalities.

Aalto University established its own publication series in 2011 and the current annual publication volume is almost 300 items. Most of the publications are doctoral dissertations. The integral part of the publication activities is the web service called publication platform The proposed poster would discuss how the publication platform functions from the view-point of an author, how it integrates into other existing systems, such as the institutional repository, and to the services of the university printing house. As such, it provides a case example on how to create an efficient and low-threshold scholarly publishing process, which integrates university’s own publications into diverse publication repositories and research information systems used by universities today.

Academic Record

AbstractMost researchers today are bombarded with spam email solicitations from questionable scholarly publishers. These emails solicit article manuscripts, editorial board service, and even ad hoc peer reviews. These “predatory” publishers exploit the scholarly publishing process, patterning themselves after legitimate scholarly publishers yet performing little or no peer review and quickly accepting submitted manuscripts and collecting fees from submitting authors. These counterfeit publishers and journals have published much junk science? especially in the field of cosmology? threatening the integrity of the academic record. This paper examines the current state of predatory publishing and advises researchers how to navigate scholarly publishing to best avoid predatory publishers and other scholarly publishing-related perils.

Selection Of

Romanian children's literature, particularly translations for children, has rather low visibility in international children's literature scholarship, and translations of Beatrix Potter have not been extensively researched, either. This article contributes to filling these gaps by exploring the challenges involved in the recent publication of the first licensed Romanian edition of Beatrix Potter and the strategies employed to solve them. It identifies extra-textual challenges, related to the possibility of publishing Potter, the licensing process, the selection of particular tales and book formats for publication, and marketing strategies; and textual challenges, arising from Potter's writing style, the interdependence between visual and verbal aspects in her tales, their cultural specificity and read-aloud qualities. It also discusses the roles of the British and Romanian publishers in the publishing process and relates the translation strategies visible in the texts to the translator's apparently divided responsibility towards Potter and the Romanian audience, her conceptions of children and children's literature, and the Romanian literary tradition.
