Boreens (from the Gaelic bóthairín meaning little road) are the narrow roads that twist through the Irish countryside. Travel is slower than the busy major roads that cut straight through, but these routes enable the traveller to easily change course as options arise and to discover hidden opportunities for exploration. It is in this context that we share how we moved from the idea of a journal club for health librarians to the reality of an active knowledge sharing group. Through the story of the governing committee and our first three presenters, we explain what is required to drive this kind of club. At the beginning there were so many options and decisions it felt like moving quickly along a busy motorway, often changing lanes to avoid snarl-ups, and watching out for tolls. However, as we settled in for the long haul, we decided to take our own quieter but ultimately more interesting route. We found that if you are clear about your destination, ensure you have sufficient resources, plan carefully but are flexible about how you get there, then you may just enjoy the journey.

Introduction: The National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia’s largest medical research funder, mandates open access for journal articles published from funded research. Publishing articles in fully open access journals is an acceptable route to achieve compliance. However, the total cost of article processing charges and the extent to which Council funds contribute to payment are unknown.Objectives: The main objectives of this study were to calculate the cost of article processing charges and determine the extent of acknowledgement of payment for Council-funded articles published in fully open access journals during 2019.Methods: The funding acknowledgement fields of Web of Science provided the list of Council-funded articles. The Directory of Open Access Journals identified fully open access journal titles and their article processing charges. Data analysisinvolved bibliometric research methods, principally descriptive statistics.Results: The cost of article processing charges for 2,261 articles published in 2019 was over US$5,000,000. Charges ranged from zero to US$5,200, with the median being US$1,900. The acknowledgement of payment of article processing chargeswas extremely low (1.72%).Discussion: The insufficient acknowledgement of the considerable expenditure on article processing charges is concerning. The “Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research” underscores the principles of transparency in declaringinterests. Required is greater disclosure of expenditure on article processing charges and accountability for public-funded research.Conclusion: The disclosure of article processing charge payments should be mandated by the Council and included in the publication metadata deposited in repositories under the National Health and Medical Research Council’s OpenAccess Policy. Acknowledgements and disclosures are essential in recognising professional contributions and ensuring the responsible conduct of research.
简介:澳大利亚最大的医学研究资助机构——国家卫生和医学研究委员会要求对资助研究发表的期刊文章开放获取。在完全开放获取期刊上发表文章是实现合规性的可接受途径。但是,物品加工费的总费用和理事会的资金在多大程度上支付费用不得而知。目的:本研究的主要目的是计算2019年在完全开放获取期刊上发表的理事会资助文章的文章处理费成本,并确定确认付款的程度。方法:Web of Science资助确认栏提供理事会资助文章列表。开放获取期刊目录确定了完全开放获取期刊的标题及其文章处理费。数据分析涉及文献计量学研究方法,主要是描述性统计。结果:2019年发表的2261篇文章的文章处理费成本超过500万美元。收费从零到5200美元不等,中位数为1900美元。确认支付物品加工费的比例极低(1.72%)。讨论:对大量物品加工费支出的确认不足令人关切。《澳大利亚负责任研究行为准则》强调了申报利益的透明度原则。需要更多地披露文章处理费支出和对公共资助研究的问责制。结论:文章处理费支付的披露应由委员会授权,并包含在根据国家卫生和医学研究委员会开放获取政策存储库的出版物元数据中。致谢和披露对于承认专业贡献和确保负责任的研究行为至关重要。

The New Zealand Health Sector is in a period of extreme pressure and change, not least the libraries within the sector. The aim of this article is to give an overview on the Health Library landscape in New Zealand, and its role in developing a stronghealth workforce; particularly considering upcoming changes to the District Health Board (DHB) structure arising out of the Health and Disability System Review (2020).

Over the last 25 years, health library collections and working practices have shifted in response to an increasingly digital world. As a result, there is a need to examine the continuing role of physical library space in health care environments. There is also a need to consider changes made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic when health librarians found themselves providing essential information services from home, disconnected from physical libraries, at a time when health professionals urgently needed reliable and high-quality information. This study examined the impact of the pandemic and recent evidence about library space in health care settings. We explored the role of physical libraries in health care settings as we emerge from the pandemic into a new normal.
