Access Model

Open Access to scientific information, transparency of research processes and data is one of the most important conditions for the progress of science and scientific communication, the basis of international collaboration of researchers globally. The COVID-19 global pandemic has once again highlighted the need for open, efficient and equal access to scientific information for researchers, regardless of geographical, gender or any other constraints, promoting the exchange of scientific knowledge and data, scientific cooperation and scientific decision-making, knowledge and open data. The Internet has radically changed scientific communication, particularly on the model of peer-reviewed scientific journals and the way readers find and access the scientific information. Digital access is now the norm, thanks to the Open Access model. Although 20 years have passed since the announcement of the Budapest Open Access Initiative, and despite many achievements and advantages, there are still obstacles to the implementation of this model, there is some resistance from commercial publishers and other providers, and discussions continue in the academia world. The Open Access model is already supported by various strategies, policies, platforms, applications but is not yet established. Various business models for scientific journals are still being tested, a culture of preprints is being formed, and discussions are underway on the ethics of scientific publications, intellectual property, the need to finance the dissemination of research results, and so on. Various platforms and applications are being developed to help researchers “discover” research results. Nevertheless, this is not enough: it is important to “discover” not only the results but also the research data, allowing them be used for further research in the global world. Thus, the concepts and practices of Open Science, Open Data, development of research infrastructures, etc., are developing quite rapidly. The article considers the main stages of this 20-year path and outlines the main components and trends of the current stage. Emphasis is placed on the need to form a culture of Open Science and create incentives for its implementation, promoting innovative methods of Open Science at different stages of the scientific process, the needs of European integration of Ukrainian e-infrastructure development, the need for socio-cultural and technological change. The main international and domestic practices and projects in Open Access and Open Science, particularly the National Repository of Academic Texts and the National Plan of Open Science draft, are considered. The role of libraries and librarians in implementing the principles of Open Access and Open Science is emphasized.

The World

Since it was founded in 1966, the McGill Journal of Education has been a bilingual peerreviewed, generalist academic journal open to a broad range of topics and concerns related to education. It supports the open access to information movement that is transforming the academic publishing world and the digital technology making it possible for knowledge produced by publicly funded scholars to be widely and easily available. This article reflects on its most significant changes and challenges as a bilingual generalist, open access journal with close ties to McGill, Québec, Canada, and, increasingly, the world writ large.Keywords Education; Generalist journal; McGill; Open accessRésuméDepuis sa fondation en 1966, la Revue des sciences de l’éducation de McGill est un journal académique généraliste, bilingue, évalué par les pairs et ouvert à un large éventail de sujets et de préoccupations relatifs à l’éducation. Il appuie à la fois le mouvement de libre accès à l’information qui est en train de transformer le monde de l’édition académique et les technologies numériques qui assurent une vaste diffusion etun accès facile au savoir généré par des chercheurs financés par l’État. Cet article se penche sur les changements et les défis les plus significatifs auxquels la revue a fait face en tant que publication en libre accès bilingue, généraliste et étroitement liée à l’Université McGill, au Québec, au Canada et, de plus en plus, au monde entier.

Dissemination Of Research

Scientific communication is characterized as an important mechanism for the dissemination of research results in different areas of knowledge. In this context, scientific articles are characterized as the main elements for describing the studies carried out and, consequently, the results obtained. Identifying how the results of scientific investigations are being published allows us to understand how scientific communication has been used to disseminate the studies carried out. In this scenario, the publication of articles in open access appears as an interesting mechanism for the dissemination of scientific research, since it facilitates and enables access to it, considering that there are no barriers, especially financial ones, to access the contentes of this type of publication. Therefore, this work aims to present the trend of publications in open access journals, carried out by Brazilian researchers over the past years.

Set Up

A decade ago, health communication research in Europe was still considered an emerging field. Today, in response to the assiduous efforts of European researchers and scholars, we are proud to present the European Journal of Health Communication (EJHC). As the first journal that is explicitly dedicated to European health communication research, EJHC can be regarded as a further milestone in the establishment of our discipline in Europe. EJHC is based on the principles of open science by making publications openly available without imposing any charges on readers or authors and providing alternatives to the traditional review and publication process. With this editorial, we want to introduce EJHC as a European journal, emphasise the arguments for the set-up of EJHC as a platinum open access journal, illustrate our efforts to improve academic publishing with various innovations, and present the people behind EJHC.

Abstract: With considerable attention now being paid within scholarly communications to publication models that increase access to research, the launch of the open access journal Open Medicine demonstrates the contribution that open access, in all of its various economic models, can make to scholarly traditions of editorial independence, intellectual integrity, and academic freedom. This paper details the history of Open Medicine, which was born of an editorial-interference incident in the field of medical publishing, and offers a case study of the current political economy of academic publishing. This new journal demonstrates how open access, in combination with open source publishing and management software, enables new journals to more readily protect the academic freedom of researchers and scholars. As we argue, this method of publishing provides a venue for the emergence of new approaches, ideas, and independence from sources of competing interests in scholarly publishing. Résumé : En s’inspirant de la communication savante qui porte aujourd’hui une attention particulière aux modèles de communication facilitant l’accès à la recherche, la revue à libre accès Open Medicine démontre la contribution que le libre accès, sous toutes ses variantes économiques, peut faire aux traditions savantes privilégiant l’indépendance de la rédaction, l’intégrité intellectuelle et la liberté académique. Cet article recense l’histoire d’Open Medicine, né d’un incident comportant une tentative de contrôler la rédaction, et offre une étude de cas sur l’économie politique actuelle de l’édition académique. Cette nouvelle revue démontre comment le libre accès, de pair avec l’édition à code source libre et un logiciel de gestion, permet aux nouvelles revues de mieux protéger la liberté académique des chercheurs et des savants. Nous soutenons que cette méthode d’édition offre un contexte qui favorise de nouvelles approches et idées et une indépendance accrue par rapport à tout intérêt concurrentiel en édition savante.
