Data journals provide strong incentives for data creators to verify, document and disseminate their data. They also bring data access and documentation into the mainstream of scholarly communication, rewarding data creators through existing mechanisms of peer-reviewed publication and citation tracking. These same advantages are not generally associated with data repositories, or with conventional journals’ data-sharing mandates. This article describes the unique advantages of data journals. It also examines the data journal landscape, presenting the characteristics of 13 data journals in the fields of biology, environmental science, chemistry, medicine and health sciences. These journals vary considerably in size, scope, publisher characteristics, length of data reports, data hosting policies, time from submission to first decision, article processing charges, bibliographic index coverage and citation impact. They are similar, however, in their peer review criteria, their open access license terms and the characteristics of their editorial boards.
数据期刊为数据创造者核实、记录和传播数据提供了强有力的激励。它们还将数据访问和记录纳入学术交流的主流,通过现有的同行评审出版物和引文跟踪机制奖励数据创造者。这些相同的优势通常与数据存储库或传统期刊的数据共享任务无关。本文描述了数据期刊的独特优势。它还考察了数据期刊的格局,介绍了生物学、环境科学、化学、医学和健康科学领域的13种数据期刊的特点。这些期刊在规模、范围、出版商特征、数据报告长度、数据托管政策、从提交到首次决定的时间、文章处理费用、书目索引覆盖范围和引用影响等方面差异很大。然而,它们在同行评审标准、开放获取许可条款和编辑委员会的特点上是相似的。

This article presents a range of perspectives on the current state of the scholarly communications sector through the lens of a research-informed university, beginning with a short overview of research at the University of Salford and followed by our assessment of what we feel is working, and indeed not working, with the current system. Based on this, we assess what we feel are the current barriers to change and both how these can be overcome and what we are doing to overcome them. Finally, we provide some commentary on what we feel is the changing open access paradigm and where all this should take us next.
本文通过一所以研究为基础的大学的视角,对学术传播部门的现状提出了一系列观点,首先对索尔福德大学的研究进行了简短的概述,然后我们评估了我们认为在当前系统中有效和不有效的地方。在此基础上,我们评估我们认为当前变革的障碍是什么,以及如何克服这些障碍,以及我们正在做什么来克服它们。最后,我们对我们所认为的不断变化的开放获取范式以及这一切将把我们带向何方提供一些评论。

Towards inclusive scholarly publishing: developments in the university press community 走向包容性学术出版:大学新闻界的发展
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-05-06 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.506
Niccole Leilanionapae‘aina Coggins, G. Fosado, Christie Henry, Gita Manaktala
This article provides an overview of the ways in which the members of the Association of University Presses are working towards more inclusive practices in scholarly publishing. The authors consider the Mellon University Press Diversity Fellowship Program (now in its fourth year), the work of the Association’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, the Gender, Equity and Cultures of Respect Task Force and the new Equity, Justice and Inclusion Committee. They also look at press-based working groups and several ‘Toolkits for Equity’ that are currently in development. The volunteers engaged in these and other efforts are working to document how bias has shaped universities and university presses, to propose actions to disrupt this powerful force and to share what they have learned with their colleagues as well as with the larger scholarly publishing and academic communities.
本文概述了大学出版社协会的成员在学术出版中努力实现更具包容性的做法。作者考虑了梅隆大学出版社多元化奖学金计划(目前已进入第四年)、该协会多元化和包容工作组、性别、平等和尊重文化工作组以及新成立的公平、正义和包容委员会的工作。他们还考察了基于媒体的工作组和目前正在开发的几个“公平工具包”。参与这些和其他努力的志愿者正在努力记录偏见是如何影响大学和大学出版社的,提出行动建议来破坏这种强大的力量,并与同事以及更大的学术出版和学术团体分享他们的经验。

Wikimedia and universities: contributing to the global commons in the Age of Disinformation 维基媒体与大学:为虚假信息时代的全球公域做出贡献
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-04-29 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.509
Nick Sheppard, M. Poulter
In its first 30 years the world wide web has revolutionized the information environment. However, its impact has been negative as well as positive, through corporate misuse of personal data and due to its potential for enabling the spread of disinformation. As a large-scale collaborative platform funded through charitable donations, with a mission to provide universal free access to knowledge as a public good, Wikipedia is one of the most popular websites in the world. This paper explores the role of Wikipedia in the information ecosystem where it occupies a unique role as a bridge between informal discussion and scholarly publication. We explore how it relates to the broader Wikimedia ecosystem, through structured data on Wikidata for instance, and openly licensed media on Wikimedia Commons. We consider the potential benefits for universities in the areas of information literacy and research impact, and investigate the extent to which universities in the UK and their libraries are engaging strategically with Wikimedia, if at all.
在最初的30年里,万维网彻底改变了信息环境。然而,由于企业滥用个人数据以及它可能使虚假信息传播,它的影响既有积极的一面,也有消极的一面。维基百科是世界上最受欢迎的网站之一,它是一个通过慈善捐赠资助的大型协作平台,其使命是为公众提供知识的免费获取。本文探讨了维基百科在信息生态系统中的作用,它作为非正式讨论和学术出版之间的桥梁发挥着独特的作用。我们探索它如何与更广泛的维基媒体生态系统相关联,例如通过维基数据上的结构化数据,以及维基共享资源上的公开许可媒体。我们考虑了大学在信息素养和研究影响方面的潜在利益,并调查了英国大学及其图书馆与维基媒体战略合作的程度,如果有的话。

Cancelling with the world’s largest scholarly publisher: lessons from the Swedish experience of having no access to Elsevier 与世界上最大的学术出版商取消合作:瑞典无法访问爱思唯尔的经验教训
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-04-22 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.507

This article covers the consequences of the decision of the Bibsam consortium to cancel its journal licence agreement with Elsevier, the world’s largest scholarly publisher, in 2018. First, we report on how the cancellation affected Swedish researchers. Second, we describe other consequences of the cancellation. Finally, we report on lessons for the future. In short, there was no consensus among researchers on how the cancellation affected them or whether the cancellation was positive or negative for them. Just over half (54%) of the 4,221 researchers who responded to a survey indicated that the cancellation had harmed their work, whereas 37% indicated that it had not. Almost half (48%) of the researchers had a negative view of the cancellation, whereas 38% had a positive view. The cancellation highlighted the ongoing work at research libraries to facilitate the transition to an open access publishing system to more stakeholders in academia than before. It also showed that Swedish vice-chancellors were prepared to suspend subscriptions with a publisher that could not accommodate the needs and requirements of open science. Finally, the cancellation resulted in the signing of a transformative agreement which started on 1 January 2020. If it had not been for the cancellation, the reaching of such an agreement would have been unlikely.
这篇文章涵盖了Bibsam财团在2018年决定取消其与世界最大学术出版商爱思唯尔的期刊许可协议的后果。首先,我们报道了取消对瑞典研究人员的影响。其次,我们描述了取消的其他后果。最后,我们报告未来的经验教训。简言之,对于取消对他们的影响,或者取消对他们来说是积极的还是消极的,研究人员之间没有达成共识。在4221名接受调查的研究人员中,略高于一半(54%)的人表示取消工作损害了他们的工作,而37%的人表示没有。近一半(48%)的研究人员对取消持负面看法,而38%的研究人员持正面看法。此次取消突显了研究图书馆正在进行的工作,以促进向学术界更多利益相关者开放获取出版系统的过渡。它还表明,瑞典副校长准备暂停订阅一家无法满足开放科学需求和要求的出版商。最后,取消导致签署了一项变革性协议,该协议于2020年1月1日开始生效。如果不是取消,就不太可能达成这样的协议。

Social engagement and institutional repositories: a case study 社会参与与机构知识库:案例研究
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-03-25 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.504
S. Boulton
This article explores the community reach and societal impact of institutional repositories, in particular Griffith Research Online (GRO), Griffith University’s institutional repository. To promote research on GRO, and to encourage people to click through to the repository content, a pilot social media campaign and some subsequent smaller social media activities were undertaken in 2018. After briefly touching on these campaigns, this article provides some reflections from these activities and proposes options for the future direction of social engagement and GRO in particular, and for institutional repositories in general. This undertaking necessitates a shift in focus from repositories as a resource for the scholarly community to a resource for the community at large. The campaign also highlighted the need to look beyond performance metrics to social media metrics as a measure of the social and community impact of a repository. Whilst the article is written from one Australian university’s perspective, the drivers and challenges behind researchers and universities translating their research into economic, social, environmental and cultural impacts are national and international. The primary takeaway message is for libraries to take more of a proactive stance and to kick-start conversations within their institutions and with their clients to actively partner in creating opportunities to share research.
本文探讨了机构知识库的社区覆盖范围和社会影响,特别是格里菲斯大学的机构知识库Griffith Research Online(GRO)。为了促进对GRO的研究,并鼓励人们点击存储库内容,2018年开展了一项试点社交媒体活动和随后的一些小型社交媒体活动。在简要介绍了这些活动之后,本文对这些活动进行了一些反思,并提出了未来社会参与方向的选择,特别是GRO,以及一般的机构知识库。这项工作需要将重点从知识库作为学术界的资源转移到整个社区的资源。该活动还强调,需要超越绩效指标,将社交媒体指标作为衡量存储库对社会和社区影响的指标。虽然这篇文章是从一所澳大利亚大学的角度撰写的,但研究人员和大学将其研究转化为经济、社会、环境和文化影响背后的驱动因素和挑战是国家和国际的。主要的收获是,图书馆要采取更积极主动的立场,在其机构内启动对话,并与客户积极合作,创造分享研究的机会。

‘Requires proofing by a native speaker’ – colonization and scholarship “需要母语人士的证明”——殖民化和学术
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-03-18 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.502
E. Costello
Many academic scholars have encountered some variation of the phrase: ‘This manuscript could benefit from proofing by a native English speaker’. They may have received this feedback or given it. This article aims to use peer review as a prism through which to explore aspects of linguistic power and privilege. In unpacking some of the language of peer review we may question some assumptions we hold about ‘native’ English speakers. Although making reference to other written works, this commentary is foregrounded in personal testimony. It does this to contextualize the issues. It is written from the perspective of a storyteller. It draws upon the stories of languages and how we use them, of where they come from and where they are going. Running throughout is the idea and the very dark reality of colonization.
许多学术学者都遇到过这句话的一些变体:“这份手稿可能会受益于母语为英语的人的校对”。他们可能已经收到或者给出了这个反馈。本文旨在以同行评议为棱镜,探讨语言权力和特权的各个方面。在分析同行评议的一些语言时,我们可能会质疑我们对“母语”为英语的人的一些假设。虽然参考了其他书面作品,但这篇评论是以个人证词为基础的。它这样做是为了将问题置于背景中。它是从一个讲故事的人的角度写的。它借鉴了语言的故事,以及我们如何使用它们,它们从哪里来,又往哪里去。贯穿始终的是殖民的理念和黑暗的现实。

UKRR: a collaborative collection management success story UKRR:协作收集管理的成功案例
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-03-11 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.503
C. Banks, Theo Stubbs
It is worth noting that all the material in this paper is adapted from, and appears in greater length in, the UKRR Final Report.1 This article summarizes the achievements of the United Kingdom Research Reserve (UKRR) project, which was established in 2007 to explore whether, through collaborative documentation, preservation and deduplication of low-use print journals, it would be possible to realize benefits through the generation of space savings across the UK’s Higher Education libraries. In total, the project received £11,581,672 in funding from HEFCE (now Research England). UKRR was managed by Imperial College London in partnership with the British Library (BL) and between 2007 and 2019, 35 further libraries participated in the project. UKRR ran in three phases and has now transitioned to a service delivered by the BL which is available to libraries across the UK. During all three phases of the project, UKRR supported the processing of nearly 130,000 metres of print journal materials and enabled the release of nearly 98,000 metres of shelf space across the 36 libraries. Print copies of scarce titles were preserved, nearly 10,000 individual journal issues from 8,000 journal titles helped fill gaps in the BL’s own collection and data for over 300,000 individual journal issues was enhanced in the BL’s catalogue. When calculating the capital and recurrent value of the space released amongst the participating libraries, it is estimated that the project delivered £4.04 in savings for every £1.00 of funding received.
值得注意的是,本文中的所有材料都改编自UKRR最终报告,并以更大的篇幅出现在该报告中。1本文总结了英国研究保护区(UKRR)项目的成就,该项目成立于2007年,旨在探索通过合作文档、低使用量印刷期刊的保存和重复数据消除,通过节省英国高等教育图书馆的空间,可以实现效益。该项目总共从HEFCE(现为英格兰研究院)获得了11581672英镑的资助。UKRR由伦敦帝国理工学院与大英图书馆合作管理,2007年至2019年间,又有35家图书馆参与了该项目。UKRR分三个阶段运行,目前已过渡到BL提供的服务,可供英国各地的图书馆使用。在项目的所有三个阶段,UKRR支持处理近130000米的印刷期刊材料,并在36个图书馆中释放了近98000米的书架空间。稀缺期刊的印刷本得以保留,8000种期刊中的近10000种期刊有助于填补BL自己收藏的空白,BL目录中超过300000种期刊的数据得到了增强。在计算参与图书馆之间释放空间的资本和经常性价值时,估计每收到1.00英镑的资金,该项目就可节省4.04英镑。

When calculating the capital and recurrent value of the space released amongst the participating libraries, it is estimated that the project delivered £4.04 in savings for every £1.00 of funding received.","PeriodicalId":44531,"journal":{"name":"Insights-The UKSG Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43978773","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}

Built to last! Embedding open science principles and practice into European universities 天长地久!将开放科学的原则和实践融入欧洲大学
IF 1.1 Q3 INFORMATION SCIENCE & LIBRARY SCIENCE Pub Date : 2020-03-04 DOI: 10.1629/uksg.501

The purpose of this article is to examine the cultural change needed by universities, as identified by LERU in its report Open Science and its role in universities: a roadmap for cultural change.1 It begins by illustrating the nature of that cultural change. Linked to that transformation is a necessary management change to the way in which organizations perform research. Competition is not the only, or necessarily the best, way to conduct this transformation. Open science brings to the fore the values of collaboration and sharing. Building on a number of Focus on Open Science Workshops held over five years across Europe, the article identifies best practice in changing current research practices, which will then contribute to the culture change necessary to deliver open science. Four case studies, delivered at Focus on Open Science Workshops or other conferences in Europe, illustrate the advances that are being made: the findings of a Workshop on Collaboration and Competition at the OAI 11 meeting in Geneva in June 2019; alternative publishing platforms, exemplified by UCL Press; open data, FAIR data and reproducibility; and a Citizen Science Workshop held at the LIBER Conference in Dublin in June 2019.
本文的目的是研究大学所需的文化变革,正如LERU在其报告《开放科学及其在大学中的作用:文化变革的路线图》中所指出的那样。与这种转变相关的是对组织进行研究的方式进行必要的管理变革。竞争并不是进行这种转变的唯一方式,也不一定是最好的方式。开放科学凸显了合作与共享的价值观。这篇文章以五年来在欧洲各地举办的多个关注开放科学研讨会为基础,确定了改变当前研究实践的最佳实践,这将有助于实现开放科学所需的文化变革。在聚焦开放科学研讨会或欧洲其他会议上发表的四个案例研究说明了正在取得的进展:2019年6月在日内瓦举行的审调处第11次会议上的合作与竞争研讨会的结果;另类出版平台,以伦敦大学学院出版社为例;开放数据、FAIR数据和再现性;以及2019年6月在都柏林举行的LIBER会议上举办的公民科学研讨会。
