Purpose: The ultimate goal of current open access (OA) initiatives is for library services to use OA resources. This study aimed to assess the infrastructure for OA scholarly information services by tabulating the number and proportion of OA articles in a literature database.Methods: We measured the absolute numbers and proportions of OA articles at different time points across various disciplines based on the Web of Science (WoS) database.Results: The number (proportion) of available OA articles between 2000 and 2021 in the WoS database was 12 million (32.4%). The number (proportion) of indexed OA articles in 1 year was 0.15 million (14.6%) in 2000 and 1.5 million (48.0%) in 2021. The proportion of OA by subject categories in the cumulative data was the highest in the multidisciplinary category (2000–2021, 79%; 2021, 89%), high in natural sciences (2000–2021, 21%–46%; 2021, 41%–62%) and health and medicine (2000–2021, 37%–40%; 2021, 52%–60%), and low in social sciences and others (2000–2021, 23%–32%; 2021, 36%–44%), engineering (2000–2021, 17%–33%; 2021, 31%–39%) and humanities and arts (2000–2021, 11%–22%; 2021, 28%–38%).Conclusion: Our study confirmed that increasingly many OA research papers have been published in the last 20 years, and the recent data show considerable promise for better services in the future. The proportions of OA articles differed among scholarly disciplines, and designing library services necessitates several considerations with regard to the customers’ demands, available OA resources, and strategic approaches to encourage the use of scholarly OA articles.
目的：当前开放获取（OA）计划的最终目标是让图书馆服务使用OA资源。本研究旨在通过统计文献数据库中OA文章的数量和比例来评估OA学术信息服务的基础设施。方法：基于Web of Science（WoS）数据库，我们测量了不同学科不同时间点OA文章的绝对数量和比例。结果：WoS数据库中2000年至2021年期间可获得的OA文章数量（比例）为1200万篇（32.4%）。1年内索引的OA文章数（比例）分别为2000年的15万篇（14.6%）和2021年的150万篇（48.0%）。在累积数据中，按受试者类别划分的OA比例在多学科类别中最高（2000-2001，79%；2021，89%），在自然科学类别中较高（2000/2021，21%-46%；2021，41%-62%），在健康和医学类别中较高，在社会科学和其他类别中较低（2000-20021，23%-32%；2021，36%-44%），工程（2000-2021，17%-33%；2021，31%-39%）和人文艺术（2000-2021年，11%-22%；2021，28%-38%）。结论：我们的研究证实，在过去20年中，发表了越来越多的OA研究论文，最近的数据显示，未来有很大的希望提供更好的服务。学术学科之间OA文章的比例不同，设计图书馆服务需要考虑客户的需求、可用的OA资源和鼓励使用学术OA文章的战略方法。

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the changes that occurred in journal and article publishing during the noncontact period that started in 2020 due to COVID-19.Methods: The integrated journal list in Journal Citation Reports (JCR) 2017–2021 and the search results of Web of Science were analyzed using pivot tables in Microsoft Excel. The articles, citations, impact factor (IF), publishers, open access (OA) status, and compound annual growth rate (CAGR) were investigated using the data.Results: The CAGRs of articles, citations, and IFs in JCR journals increased throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the increase in OA articles was accompanied by a decreasing share of subscription articles. The top 20 journals in JCR-SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded), based on the number of articles, accepted OA policies and showed a strong influence, accounting for 7% to 9% of all articles.

Animal Bioscience (AB) is an international journal first published in 1988 under the title AsianAustralasian Journal of Animal Sciences (AJAS) by the Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies (AAAP). Since then, it has continued its publication journey. The current journal title was adopted in 2021. I was invited to become the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of AJAS in 2001, which has been my second job since then and my sole volunteer activity after retirement from Seoul National University in 2013. According to a previous report [1], the idea of an official international journal publication was not well accepted initially by the AAAP member countries, perceiving no real need for such a journal and the absence of a firm belief in the success of such publication activities in Asia. However, a few dedicated frontier scientists led by Professor. In K. Han, the first EIC, turned AJAS into one of the most respected global journals in the animal science category. As expected, collecting the manuscripts during the early days was challenging. The journal received less than 50 manuscripts in the first year. However, the annual count rose to almost 1,000 in a few years. Presently, authors from more than 50 countries have chosen AB to report their research work. China and Korea are the major contributing countries, similar to the case with many other international journals. Approximately 70% of submissions are from the AAAP member countries, with the remaining 30% from the non-AAAP region. The journal has made a tremendous improvement in citation frequency. When first indexed by the SCIE in 1997, the impact factor (IF) of AJAS was below 0.1, which increased to 2.7 in 2021. The total number of citations in the first year was less than 100, increasing to almost 9,000 in 2021, an approximately 100-fold increase over the past 25 years [2]. Since AB began to publish articles with a new title in 2021 and IF is calculated based on citations in the last 2 years, the first IF of AB will be released sometime in June 2023. The IF of AB will likely be lower than that of AJAS in the next few years due to the shorter exposure time of AB. However, it will not influence the combined journal IF significantly.

For various reasons, despite previous linguistic, formatting, and other checks, beginner-authored or multi-authored manuscripts may be rushed to submission while lacking consistency. This article provides a clear outline of the final round of checks for section consistency, subsection consistency, and overall coherence that a scientific manuscript should undergo before submission. Checks for consistency should target the following: consistency between full and short titles; the exact answer in conclusion to research objectives (questions) and matching between methods and results in the abstract; consistency from a comprehensive view of the research field to the announcement of a single specific objective in the introduction section; coherence between methods and results sections and between results and illustrations in the rest of the text; and, recalls of the objective, the results, and the conclusions in the discussion section. Finally, consistency should be ensured between the various sections of the abstract and those of the manuscript, with the ideal abstract being a true miniature of the manuscript. An original figure provides a handy visual checklist authors might use to implement and achieve manuscript drafting. This round of checks increases readability, comprehensibility, confidence in the results, and the credibility of the authors. Subsequently, confidence and credibility will increase the probability of publication and the visibility of a whole team’s work.

A reporting guideline can be defined as “a checklist, flow diagram, or structured text to guide authors in reporting a specific type of research, developed using explicit methodology.” A reporting guideline outlines the bare minimum of information that must be presented in a research report in order to provide a transparent and understandable explanation of what was done and what was discovered. Many reporting guidelines have been developed, and it has become important to select the most appropriate reporting guideline for a manuscript. Herein, I propose an algorithm for the selection of reporting guidelines. This algorithm was developed based on the research design classification system and the content presented for major reporting guidelines through the EQUATOR (Enhancing the Quality and Transparency of Health Research) network. This algorithm asks 10 questions: “is it a protocol,” “is it secondary research,” “is it an in vivo animal study,” “is it qualitative research,” “is it economic evaluation research,” “is it a diagnostic accuracy study or prognostic research,” “is it quality improvement research,” “is it a non-comparative study,” “is it a comparative study between groups,” and “is it an experimental study?” According to the responses, 16 appropriate reporting guidelines are suggested. Using this algorithm will make it possible to select reporting guidelines rationally and transparently.

Background In Indonesia, 1,264 publishers operate 7,410 scholarly journals accredited by the government, reflecting an increase of 23.71% from the previous data of 5,990 accredited scholarly journals [1]. Those journals are distributed as follows: 305 nationally reputable journals (4.12%) with an S6 accreditation, 2,099 journals (28.33%) with an S5 accreditation, 2,541 (34.29%) with an S4 accreditation, 1,369 (18.48%) with an S3 accreditation, 976 (13.17%) with an S2 accreditation, and 120 (1.62%) with an S1 accreditation (S1 indicates the highest level of accreditation for accredited journals in Indonesia). The journals indexed in the Scopus database are generally in the S1 category. Although there are many scholarly journals in Indonesia, the number of international journals is still not enough relative to the total number. It is usually said that Scopus, Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index journals are international journals. There may be enough room for science journals in Indonesia to be promoted to international journals. The Indonesian government has supported journal publication through the journal accreditation system [1], and there is a need for academic societies and institutes to upgrade their journals. To promote journals, the topic of articles is a major concern. Articles on recently emerging topics or those frequently dealt with are beneficial to journals to be read and cited by other researchers. Therefore, it is essential to find the major topics and other bibliographic trends in a specific research area. A bibliometric analysis is a good tool to answer these questions. In this essay, journals in the agricultural and biological sciences were analyzed because the number of journals in this area was the highest among all research areas of Indonesian journals listed in Scopus.
在印度尼西亚，1264家出版商经营着7410种政府认可的学术期刊，比之前的5990种政府认可的学术期刊[1]增长了23.71%。这些期刊的分布如下:305本(4.12%)具有S6认证，2099本(28.33%)具有S5认证，2541本(34.29%)具有S4认证，1369本(18.48%)具有S3认证，976本(13.17%)具有S2认证，120本(1.62%)具有S1认证(S1表示印度尼西亚认可期刊的最高认证水平)。Scopus数据库中索引的期刊通常属于S1类。虽然印尼有很多学术期刊，但国际期刊的数量相对于总数来说仍然不够。通常所说的Scopus、Science Citation Index Expanded、Social Sciences Citation Index、Arts and Humanities Citation Index等期刊都是国际性期刊。印度尼西亚的科学期刊可能有足够的空间被提升为国际期刊。印度尼西亚政府通过期刊认证系统[1]支持期刊出版，学术团体和研究所需要升级他们的期刊。期刊的推广，文章的主题是一个重要的问题。关于最近出现的主题或经常涉及的主题的文章有利于期刊被其他研究人员阅读和引用。因此，找到一个特定研究领域的主要主题和其他书目趋势是至关重要的。文献计量学分析是回答这些问题的好工具。在这篇文章中，我们分析了农业和生物科学领域的期刊，因为这一领域的期刊数量是Scopus中印尼所有期刊中最多的。

The scenarios for journal articles that contain more than one language are no longer (and never really were) limited to having an article’s title, abstract, and keywords translated to additional languages. Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) currently has a variety of structures for tagging articles that are in multiple languages or have substantial amounts of content in more than one language. However, these structures are not all coherent and are not up to the tasks of handling some common use cases. A subcommittee of the National Information Standards Organization (NISO) JATS Standing Committee (with participation from members of the Standards Tag Suite (STS) and Book Interchange Tag Suite (BITS) committees and some other invited experts) was formed, in 2021, with the goal of recommending changes to JATS to enable it to usefully encode multilingual articles. The subcommittee has recommended a set of changes that introduce new structures that can be available to JATS users who need them while minimizing the burden JATS users who rarely deal with multilingual content. Most of these changes are backward compatible with earlier versions of JATS. These changes are currently a work in progress and may become available in a future version of JATS. This paper presents a proposal for improving JATS to better support tagging multilingual articles with the hope of garnering feedback and suggestions from the JATS community.

This paper presents a proposal for improving JATS to better support tagging multilingual articles with the hope of garnering feedback and suggestions from the JATS community.","PeriodicalId":43802,"journal":{"name":"Science Editing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48796502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Purpose: The variety, scope, and impact of open access (OA) diamond journals across disciplines and regions from July 22 to September 11, 2020 were charted to characterize the current OA diamond landscape.Methods: The total number of diamond journals was estimated, including those outside the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The distribution across regions, disciplines, and publisher types was described. The scope of journals in terms of authorship and readership was investigated. Information was collected on linguistic diversity, journal dynamics and life cycle, and their visibility in scholarly databases.Results: The number of OA diamond journals is estimated to be 29,000. OA diamond journals are estimated to publish 356,000 articles per year. The OA diamond sector is diverse in terms of regions (45% in Europe, 25% in Latin America, 16% in Asia, and 5% in the United States/Canada) and disciplines (60% humanities and social sciences, 22% sciences, and 17% medicine). More than 70% of OA diamond journals are published by university-owned publishers, including university presses. The majority of OA diamond journals are small, publishing fewer than 25 articles a year. English (1,210), Spanish (492), and French (342) are the most common languages of the main texts. Out of 1,619 journals, 1,025 (63.3%) are indexed in DOAJ, 492 (30.4%) in Scopus, and 321 (19.8%) in Web of Science.Conclusion: The patterns and trends reported herein provide insights into the diversity and importance of the OA diamond journal landscape and the accompanying opportunities and challenges in supporting this publishing model.
目的:绘制2020年7月22日至9月11日期间各学科和地区开放获取(OA)钻石期刊的种类、范围和影响，以表征当前开放获取钻石的格局。方法:统计我国开放获取期刊目录(DOAJ)外的钻石期刊总数。描述了跨地区、学科和出版商类型的分布。从作者和读者的角度调查了期刊的范围。收集了语言多样性、期刊动态和生命周期及其在学术数据库中的可见性等方面的信息。结果:钻石OA期刊数量估计为2.9万份。OA钻石期刊估计每年发表35.6万篇文章。OA钻石行业在地区(欧洲占45%，拉丁美洲占25%，亚洲占16%，美国/加拿大占5%)和学科(60%为人文社会科学，22%为科学，17%为医学)方面存在差异。超过70%的开放获取钻石期刊由大学所有的出版商出版，包括大学出版社。大多数开放获取钻石期刊规模较小，每年发表的文章少于25篇。英语(1,210)，西班牙语(492)和法语(342)是主要文本中最常见的语言。1619种期刊中，DOAJ收录1025种(63.3%)，Scopus收录492种(30.4%)，Web of Science收录321种(19.8%)。结论:本文报告的模式和趋势揭示了开放获取钻石期刊格局的多样性和重要性，以及支持这种出版模式的机遇和挑战。

There are many ways to use open source code to implement digital standards for scholarly journal publishing. However, providing digital services using open-source code can be a challenge, especially for small and local academic society journals. This paper provides some critical examples of using some of the many open-source code resources available to the public. Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) Extensible Markup Language (XML) has been established as an essential tool, and is now used by most journals for digital publication. JATS XML can be converted to other viewer formats, including Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, PubReader, and EPUB 3.0. It can also be used to create dynamic interactive PDFs. It can be converted to other XMLs, incluing Crossref XML, PubMed XML, and DOAJ XML. Open-source code published on GitHub, National Information Standards Organization, and the US National Library of Medicine can be used for Crossref XML deposition for digital object identifier and Crossmark stamp registration. These examples of open-source code need to be implemented on journal websites to provide local academic journal publishers with various critical functions. This paper provides instructions on the best ways to realize these digital standards so that journal content can be provided to readers in a more friendly and effective way.
