Abstract:Self-publishing is common outside the academy, but faculty members rarely publish their own books. In this essay, a University of California professor explains why she chose to self-publish her book about academic writing and the costs and benefits of that choice.

Abstract:There is considerable merit in discounting self-citations when measuring the worth of a paper, a journal, or an author bibliometrically. However, excluding self-citations from the citation count for a paper or a researcher does not completely solve the problem of how to properly measure the interest generated by a paper or a researcher because other deficiencies in citation counts remain. One of these is associated self-citation. This occurs when a subset of the authors who published one paper go on to publish another paper in which they cite the previous one; any authors of the first paper whose names are not on the second paper receive a full citation credit (called here an associated self-citation), but the repeated authors do not because they are disqualified by self-citation. Associated self-citations, in which unrepeated authors receive citation credit, can skew a measure of bibliometric worth, but it is a deficiency that can be redressed. Additionally, there is propagation luck—where a paper becomes the reference to cite when there are other comparable and worthy candidates—which is a problem that can be only partially addressed. In this paper, the author analyzes these deficiencies with an example that compares the bibliometric success of two articles of which he was a co-author.

Abstract:The MIT Press published the eBook edition of Economics in the Age of COVID-19 by Joshua Gans in just over a month. This article describes the genesis of the project and how the MIT Press team was able to produce a book on an accelerated schedule. It then presents a series of factors for other publishers to consider when deciding whether and how to embark on similar rapid publication projects tied to current events.

Abstract:The guest co-editor invited short essays from five contributors, who write here about their experiences of working from home. For those who are new to this, or new to doing it full-time, the collapse of separation between home and workplace has taken some getting used to, while those for whom working from home has long been business as usual testify to the habits and strategies they've learned for maintaining a separation between work and home life, even when those two spheres occupy the same space. Of those contributors looking forward to a time when they can return to the office and their kids can return to school, some wonder whether living and working at home during the coronavirus quarantine will change how they work even after the separation of home and office is restored.

Abstract:From March through May 2020, the University of Toronto's Department of Medicine has faced unique challenges and opportunities for collaboration in medical research to combat COVID-19. The department has relied on its already established network approach to collaboration and has created a new program for funding COVID-19 research in addition to the university's new funding program. The research under way by members of the department will contribute to medicine's understanding of the pandemic.

The suspension of in-person services and loss of access to physical collections at the University of Toronto’s network of academic libraries has left more than 100,000 students, staff, and faculty with only remote library support available for their research. Leveraging and expanding existing online services and digital collections, and acquiring or building new research tools for scholars to deploy, are two approaches the University of Toronto Libraries’ staff have taken since the COVID-19 pandemic changed library operations. This paper describes the continuity of library services and collections access at the University of Toronto during the period of March, April, and May of 2020 and briefly considers how these services may evolve moving forward.

This paper describes actions recently taken by the government, scholarly publish-ers, and researchers to face the COVID-19 challenge in China. By promulgating new policies and funding new programs, the Chinese government at all levels has provided huge support for research on COVID-19. Guided by the new policies, Chinese scholarly book publishers have published 124 new titles on the subject of the coronavirus. Journal publishers have put out numerous calls for papers and launched open access platforms for COVID-19 research. Chinese researchers have produced 2021 English-language papers and 2837 Chinese papers on COVID-19. These activities have the potential to affect scholarly publishing in China and around the world in multiple ways: 1) by establishing a more reasonable academic evaluation system in China; 2) by bringing about a more balanced relationship between Chinese scholarly publishers’ profit motive and their commitment to social welfare; and 3) by altering the communication channels that Chinese re-searchers use and the publishing choices they make.
