Objective: to build a descriptive classification of premolar and molar supernumerary teeth (ST) when preparing the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) report. The aim is also to share wide range of CBCT images in the open access publishing model. Material and methods: For our review we systematically searched for articles from PubMed with 1) free full texts on ST in molar and premolar area and using CBCT, and 2) articles providing with information on complications related with the presence of ST in molar and premolar area. We also added to our review studies providing with classic ST classifications in premolar and molar area. Results: We found 29 cases of ST, and we freely illustrated them with 84 figures. We separated our pictorial review in: 1) unilateral ST in the mandible, 2) unilateral ST in the maxilla, 3) unilateral undersized ST, 4) bilateral ST, 5) ST with additional features, and 6) cases with major hyperdontia. Conclusions: we build up the classification matrix for premolar and molar ST with 11 descriptors and 50 boxes. The descriptors were: 1) location if the ST crown in axial view, 2) vertical location of the cusp tip in relation with closest erupted tooth in coronal view, 3) shape, 4) distribution, 5) Position (in relation to normal tooth eruption) in sagittal view, 6) State of eruption of the ST in the sagittal view, 7) Follicle size measurement in sagittal view, 8) External root resorption of adjacent teeth by ST and its location in relation to the long axis of the involved tooth, 9) Internal resorption of ST, 10) Adjacent tooth complication, and 11) Damage to surrounding structures if ST removal. The open access figures from the literature illustrated 11 boxes. With our pictorial review we were able to illustrate 45 out of 50 boxes, and freely provide the readership with the most complete description of ST in premolar and molar area on CBCT than in previously published studies.

OAK was founded in 2011 by a former academic publishing executive and a business software developer who encountered first-hand the challenges facing universities and authors with the growth of open access publishing – both Green and Gold. They set about creating a system that dramatically reduced administration and overcame inefficient workflows for all involved.With the establishment of the 'author pays' scholarly publishing model and the increasing trend for open access mandates from research funders, have infrastructure and resources developed sufficiently to support the additional financial and time pressures that participants now face?Individual researchers, their universities and research funders, and the publishers themselves, all have a part to play in processing and managing individual fees. It appears there is a need from all participants in the industry to make provision to encompass the administration of the publication charges required by many open access publishers. Open Access Key (OAK) is a new global company with an innovative and cost-effective solution which could provide value to all parties involved in these transactions.And in addition to financial management, OAK has been built to deliver a wide range of administrative functionality to the users. For example, OAK can feed repositories with the metadata information collected from each article processed through the platform. Automated workflow again reduces the tasks of the authors and administrators allowing resources to be directed towards research.OAK has been built by Norwegian and Danish technology partners using software that delivers tremendous flexibility. At the same time, the company has created an environment that will enable the sharing of best practice models with its customers. The company's size also speeds up decision-making and reactivity. Within an OAK account, for example, there are 'feedback buttons' to enable users to pass on thoughts, requests and general comments directly to the development team. Prior to rolling out the OAK platform to a new customer, the team spends time discussing the needs within each organisation and engineering the system to meet individual specifications.

>> See video of presentation (25 min.)BioMed Central is the open access publisher who pioneered this publishing model and has been part of Springer since 2008. We launched our first journal in the year 2000, and have since seen several positive global developments which have helped establish open access as an important trend in the evolvement of scholarly communication.  We have consequently observed a steady increase in awareness of open access and specifically, of our wide range of specialist as well as broad interest titles which is reflected in our growing submission numbers.BioMed Central as one of the main open access publishers has helped to establish open access as a new way of making academic research available to researchers and the public, and to introduce a change of the subscription business model in academic publishing and libraries. While BioMed Central also offers a solution for the Green Route of open access (“Open Repository”) the main part of our publishing activity is centred around our fully or “gold” open access journals. BioMed Central and SpringerOpen practise the “author pays” model, whereby the author is asked to pay a fee to cover the publisher’s cost of publishing and distributing the article. While the awareness of open access is growing among the academics, there is still uncertainty among many of how open access works and why they are asked to pay a fee. To cover that fee can still be a major obstacle for a researcher attempting to publish an article in an open access journal, as the SOAP report stated in 2011.I will present an analysis of the most recent open access developments and studies globally; as well as the effect that this has had on a number of factors that play a role in scholarly publishing, such as Impact Factors, citations and awareness of open access among academics. I will give an update on BioMed Central and Springer’s own development in the arena of open access and visibility of research, including  experimenting with alternative methods of evaluating research such as Altmetric and the SCImago Journal & Country Rank.  I will conclude with an overview of how we are working with research organisations and universities to offer financial support to their researchers in order to cover the fee for publishing in BioMed Central and SpringerOpen journals in the context of our institutional membership program.

Die Publikationsinfrastruktur für Open-Access-Veröffentlichungen stellt sich durch die Vernetzung verschiedener OA-Publikationsworkflows mit verschiedensten beteiligten Systemen aktuell als sehr heterogen dar. Dabei werden in der wissenschaftlichen Publikationslandschaft in deren unterschiedlichsten Bereichen des Publikationsprozesses eine Vielzahl existierender Standards, Normen sowie Spezifikationen verwendet. Das vorliegende Dokument stellt in einer ersten Version eine Übersicht zu den offenen Standards im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren dar. In einer umfangreichen Recherche wurde eine große Anzahl an Standards, Normen und Spezifikationen identifiziert. Um aus der großen Masse an Standards die wesentlichen herauszufiltern, entwickelte das Forscherteam eine spezifische Arbeitsdefinition des Begriffes Standard im Kontext von Open-Access-Publikationsprozessen: „ Ein offener Standard für wissenschaftliches Publizieren beschreibt eine einheitlich dokumentierte, weithin anerkannte, vielfach angewandte, offen zugängliche und erweiterbare Spezifikation, die bei der Erstellung, Beschreibung, Herstellung und Verbreitung wissenschaftlicher Publikationen angewandt wird“. Der Überblick über offene Standards im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren umfasst in dieser ersten Version 102 Standards, Normen und Spezifikationen, gegliedert in zehn Kategorien. Darüber hinaus enthalten alle aufgeführten Standards eine direkte Verlinkung zur jeweiligen technischen Dokumentation oder zu weiterführenden Informationen. Damit stellt die Übersicht eine Grundlage für die zukünftige Diskussion und Zusammenarbeit mit Stakeholdern und der Forschungscommunity dar. Im Rahmen des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderten Forschungsprojektes OPEN-ACCESS-Strukturierte-Kommunikation (OA-STRUKTKOMM) wird der Überblick über offene Standards im wissenschaftlichen Publizieren entwickelt. Ziel des Projektes ist es, notwendige Werkzeuge und Strategien für die flächendeckende Einführung eines bereits entwickelten State-of-the-Art-Workflows zur Herstellung und Verbreitung von OA-Monografien (DOI 10.33968/9783966270175-00) zu entwickeln. Dabei soll neben dem Wissenstransfer eine XML-basierte Kommunikationsstruktur entwickelt werden, welche den Datenaustausch zwischen den workflowbeteiligten Systemen robuster und kompatibel gestaltet, um damit eine leistungsfähigere Publikationsinfrastruktur zu etablieren, diese weitestgehend zu standardisieren und so Open Access durch eine vereinfachte Nutzung attraktiver zu machen. Weitere Informationen finden sich auf der Forschungswebsite: oa-struktkomm.htwk-leipzig.de Translated Abstract The publication infrastructure for Open Access publications is currently very heterogeneous due to the networking of various OA publication workflows with a wide range of systems involved. In the scientific publication landscape, a large number of existing standards and specifications are used in the various areas of the publication process. The first version of this document provides an overview of open standards in scientific publishing. In an extensive research a large number of standards and specifications were identified. In order to filter out the essential ones from the large mass of standards, the research team developed a specific working definition of the term standard in the context of open access publishing processes: "An open standard for scholarly publishing describes a uniformly documented, widely accepted, widely used, openly accessible, and extensible specification that is applied to the creation, description, production, and dissemination of scholarly publications." In this first version, the overview of open standards in scientific publishing includes 102 standards and specifications, organized into ten categories. In addition, all listed standards contain a direct link to the respective technical documentation or to further information. Thus, the overview provides a basis for future discussion and collaboration with stakeholders and the research community. Within the research project OPEN-ACCESS-Structured-Communication (OA-STRUKTKOMM), funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the overview of open standards in scientific publishing is being developed. The aim of the project is to develop the necessary tools and strategies for the widespread introduction of an already developed state-of-the-art workflow for the production and dissemination of OA monographs (DOI 10.33968/9783966270175-00). In addition to knowledge transfer, a XML-based communication structure is to be developed that will make data exchange between the systems involved in the workflow more robust and compatible. The aim is to make the publication infrastructure more efficient, standardize it as far as possible and make Open Access more attractive by simplifying its use.

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we introduce this inaugural issue of Transactions of the Association of European Schools of Planning. The journal is a new venture of AESOP and aims to provide a platform for the planning community to share research, innovative practices, and provocative thoughts among peers. It expands the already rich opportunities for networking and scholarly dialogue that AESOP offers via annual congresses, Thematic Group activities, specialist meetings such as the Heads of Schools workshops, and summer schools. Transactions seeks to incorporate the spirit that guided AESOP from its beginning – to be inclusive, openminded, and to embrace the diversity of national cultures and milieus of planning and planners represented in Europe and beyond. The journal follows a genuine open access publishing model: it is free of charge to submit a paper for a doubleblind peer review, and accepted papers are accessible online, to everyone, for free. AESOP covers the relevant editorial and publishing costs. This inaugural issue contains an essay from Rachelle Alterman, as well as five contributions on a wide range of topics. All the papers published in this issue had initially been nominated for the Best Congress Paper award by the AESOP Congress track chairs in 2014 and 2015. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Professor Alterman for her introductory essay, to Professor Anna Geppert, the President of AESOP, for her Introduction, and the authors who contributed a paper to this issue for their willingness to participate in this endeavour and for their patience as the initiative has taken shape.

Watch the VIDEO of the presentation.JeDEM, the Journal of E-democracy and Open Government (jedem.org), was first published in 2009 as an initiative of the Centre for E-Governance. It is an open access e-journal (that follows the green open access road) with a focus on topics such as e-democracy, e-participation, open government and open access. The journal follows the green open access road, and it is indexed with EBSCO[1], DOAJ[2], Google Scholar and the Public Knowledge Project metadata harvester[3]. With a wide range of subjects and research fields, articles cover diverse topics so publishing in JeDEM attracts a wide range of authors and readers from different disciplines.While the effects and impact of open access publishing have been studied, there is less research on the motivational factors of publishing in open access e-journals (such as JeDEM) that focus on a user perspective (see e.g. Nicholas et al 2015; Jamali, Nicholas, and Herman 2016). A review of JeDEM by Quality Open Access Market (QOAM)[4] in 2016 provides an external evaluation of JeDEM, but in this contribution, we wish to present and to discuss a research design to assess the users’ perspectives and motivational factors for publishing open access whilst also considering different user types and disciplines. A workshop held at CEDEM16 (Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government 2016[5], see Lampoltshammer, Edelmann, und Schossboeck, 2016)), shed some light on the most important topics for researchers in open access publishing. The results of this workshop revealed some motivations for publishing open access. Another workshop will be held at CeDEM Asia 2016 (Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government Asia 2016)[6], with the aim of uncovering further motivational factors and understanding them from a comparative perspective. Comparing the results of both workshops and a literature review regarding motivational factors for open access publishing will form the basis for developing and choosing the questions for a quantitative study (online survey) to be sent out to all users of JeDEM by summer 2017. Conferences in the area of open access will be used to discuss the methodology and set-up of this questionnaire. Registered and potential users will be encouraged to answer the survey, also to find out about their use of the features of the journal (e.g. commenting articles) and how such features contribute to the concept of open science and scholarly communication.By assessing the user perspective of our open access journal, we seek to answer questions such as:Can we distinguish differences in motivation for publishing in open access across user types and disciplines? What differences can be determined?How can users be classified according to their motivations and does it make sense to consider user types and motivations for management activities of an open access journal? What type of users are JeDEM users?What are users’ opinion on different aspects of open access publishing and its further development, e.g. open peer review etc. and how do user opinions differ across the disciplines or countries?How can results help other e-publishers or editors in the area of open access and contribute to the field of scholarly communication?As an ongoing research project, we will be looking forward for feedback and recommendations about how to develop the user survey and our activities for the journal.[1] EBSCO Information Services www.ebsco.com[2] DOAJ Directory of Open Access Journals https://doaj.org/[3] https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/[4] https://www.qoam.eu/[5] www.donau-uni.ac.at/cedem16[6] www.donau-uni.ac.at/cedemasia2016

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand individual academics’ perception, attitudes and participation in Open Access Publishing and open scholarship and revisit some principles and designs of openness in academic publishing from the perspective of creative end-users, which helps to increase the sustainability and efficiency of open models. Design/methodology/approach – This paper draws on a case study of China and empirical data collected through semi-structured interviews with a wide range of academics and stakeholders. Findings – A separation between the communication and certification functions of publishing is identified: open initiatives are valued for efficient and interactive communication while traditional publishing still dominates the legitimacy of research publications, which leads to the quandary of individual academics operating within the transitional landscape of scholarly communication. Practical implications – Practical recommendations for sustainable and efficient openness are derived from discussions on the difficulties associated open/social certification and the shifting maxims that govern academics from “publish or perish” to “be visible or vanish”. Originality/value – “Openness” is defined in broad sense integrating Open Access and open scholarship to comprehensively reflect individual academics’ views in the transitional landscape of academic publishing. The research findings suggest that new open approaches are needed to address the evolving tension and conflicts between communication and certification.

The concept of openness is multifaceted and can be addressed from a wide range of different angles. Here we focus on openness in education, with a particular focus on knowledge production and access. We thus also focus on the academic publishing industry, which is in constant flux and has seen considerable changes in recent years, partly due to rapid technological changes. Ultimately, the discussion is narrowed down to focus on AJET’s approach to openness as an example of open access publishing. The question is raised of how can we grow open access publishing in a higher education sector characterised by increasing budget constraints in order to make access to knowledge as open as possible to as many potential readers as possible.

Introduction. The paper presents survey results on the awareness towards and practice of Open Access scholarly publishing among Russian academics.Materials and Methods. We employed methods of statistical analysis of survey results. Materials comprise results of data processing of Russian survey conducted in 2018 and published results of the latest international surveys. The survey comprised 1383 respondents from 182 organizations. We performed comparative studies of the responses from academics and research institutions as well as different research areas. The study compares results obtained in Russia with the recently published results of surveys conducted in the United Kingdom and Europe.Results. Our findings show that 95% of Russian respondents support open access, 94% agree to post their publications in open repositories and 75% have experience in open access publishing. We did not find any difference in the awareness and attitude towards open access among seven reference groups. Our analysis revealed the difference in the structure of open access publications of the authors from universities and research institutes. Discussion andConclusions. Results reveal a high level of awareness and support to open access and succeful practice in the open access publications in the Russian scholarly community. The results for Russia demonstrate close similarity with the results of the UK academics. The governmental open access policies and programs would foster the practical realization of the open access in Russia.

The study of law focuses, among other aspects, on important issues relating to equality, fairness and justice in as far as free access to information and knowledgeis concerned. The launching of the Open Access to Law Movement in 1992, the promulgation of the Durham Statement on Open Access to Legal Scholarshipin 2009, and the formation of national and regional Legal Information Institutes (LIIs) should serve as an indication of how well the legal world is committed to freely publishing and distributing legal information and knowledge through the Internet to legal practitioners, legal scholars and the public at large aroundthe world. In order to establish the amount of legal scholarly content which is accessible through open access publishing innovations and initiatives, this studyanalysed the contents of websites for selected open access resources on the Internet internationally and in South Africa. The results of the study showed that there has been a steady developing trend towards the adoption of open access for legal scholarly literature internationally, while in South Africa legal scholarly literature is under the control of commercial publishers. This should be an issue for the legal scholarship which, among its focus, is to impart knowledge about the right of access to information and knowledge.
