Digital Repositories

Lo scopo di questo libro è mettere in luce la rilevanza del movimento internazionale Open Access (OA) che si prefigge l’obiettivo di sostenere e promuovere le strategie per la diffusione dei prodotti della ricerca scientifica con l’appoggio di tecnologie di rete e politiche OA. I Repository Istituzionali (IR) OA saranno presentati entro la cornice di: alcune linee di indirizzo, meccanismi di valutazione della ricerca, questioni di proprietà intellettuale, conservazione a lungo termine, Data and Process Managament Plan e Trusted Digital Repositories. Il lavoro presenterà anche un’indagine su un campione di 23 Repository digitali (nazionali e internazionali) a sostegno della comunicazione e del libero accesso ai contenuti di ricerca in rete. Sulla base di questa indagine verrà presentato un ToolKit che potrebbe essere utile per programmare e monitorare diverse funzionalità di un IR. Successivamente, al lettore sarà presentato uno schema di metadati per la descrizione dei prodotti della ricerca scientifica in IR, prendendo in considerazione le Linee guida per la creazione e la gestione di metadati nei Repository Istituzionali (CRUI, 2012) e Linked Open Data-enabled Bibliographical Data Recommendations (Subirats, Zeng, 2015). I metadati abilitati come dati LOD avranno il ruolo chiave nella qualificazione del profilo semantico delle proprietà dei metadati in questione e, di conseguenza, delle risorse informative che rappresentano, così come nel potenziamento dell’interoperabilità semantica e nel favorimento di dinamiche collaborative dei contenuti di ricerca scientifica a livello nazionale e internazionale in rete, rafforzando l’efficacia e l’efficienza della ricerca stessa.

The Impact

Abstract Introduction. The Internet has enabled an easy method to search through the vast majority of publications and has improved the impact of scholarly journals. However, it can also pose threats to the quality of published articles. New publishers and journals have emerged so-called open-access potential, possible, or probable predatory publishers and journals, and so-called hijacked journals. It was our aim to increase awareness and warn scholars, especially young researchers, how to recognize these journals and how to avoid submission of their papers to these journals. Methods. Review and critical analysis of the relevant published literature, Internet sources and personal experience, thoughts, and observations of the authors. Results. The web blog of Jeffrey Beall, University of Colorado, was greatly consulted. Jeffrey Beall is a Denver academic librarian who regularly maintains two lists: the first one, of potential, possible, or probable predatory publishers and the second one, of potential, possible, or probable predatory standalone journals. Aspects related to this topic presented by other authors have been discussed as well. Conclusion. Academics should bear in mind how to differentiate between trustworthy and reliable journals and predatory ones, considering: publication ethics, peer-review process, international academic standards, indexing and abstracting, preservation in digital repositories, metrics, sustainability, etc.

Common Vision

Most natural history institutions in Europe have been scientific publishers sincetheir foundation and have a long scholarly publishing tradition. Nowadays, they areconfronted with rapid technological developments and face complex strategic andtechnical questions related to visibility, access, format, and the financial structure oftheir titles. These issues require a common vision and an international strategy toensure that the community acts in a consistent and coordinated way. A consortiumof institutions is thus launching the European Journal of Taxonomy to provide analternative public open-access business model, where neither authors nor readers haveto pay fees for subscriptions or publication. This paper focuses on the benefits for theinstitutions on taking greater control over their communication process.

Search And Retrieval

Open Access (OA) is a noble cause as it removes all hurdles from free access to scholarly works and promotes knowledge sharing. The OA movement is strengthened by Institutional Repositories (IRs). IRs are based on institute-specific requirements, workflow pattern, metadata, and other related standards for different kinds of digital documents, search and retrieval requirements, and user interfaces at various levels. In India, some elite educational and research institutes such as the Indian Statistical Institute, some CSIR Laboratories, IITs, and IIMs have taken significant initiatives in building IRs. In addition, a few Universities, such as the Central University of Hyderabad, are working on building IRs. According to various databases, the total number of Indian IRs exceeds 40, but out of these only 25 are functional, while the rest of them are either non-functional or inaccessible. The present chapter is an effort to cover the various aspects of functional IRs in India.

Scientific Publishers

The present special edition investigates which opportunities open access to scientific publications offers to legal studies and which challenges it poses. Scientific publishers play an important role with regard to this issue; their perspective is therefore examined first. Nine reports from legal-scientific open access periodicals show that open access is possible with as well as without traditional publishers. Other contributions explain the role of academic infrastructure, especially of libraries and promoters of research. The publication is rounded off by an opinion analysis from a transnational conference on the subject which took place in October 2018 (www.jurOA.de).
