Registry of Open Access Repositories Critical Analysis of Scholarly open access publishers Beall’s List: Potential, possible, or probable predatory scholarly open-access publishers This is a list of questionable, scholarly open-access publishers. We hope that tenure and promotion committees can also decide for themselves how importantly or not to rate articles published in these journals in the context of their own institutional standards and/or geocultural locus.

arXiv Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Une archive sur Internet[modifier | modifier le code] Dans de nombreux domaines des mathématiques et de la physique, de nombreux articles sont placés en ébauche ou prépublication par leurs auteurs sur arXiv. Suivant le choix de leurs auteurs, certains, parfois influents, peuvent demeurer sous forme électronique sur arXiv sans faire l'objet d'une publication dans les revues à comités de lecture. Les articles de Grigori Perelman (voir ci-dessous) en sont des exemples. En décembre 2006, arXiv.org contenait près de 400 000 prépublications électroniques (e-prints en anglais), avec en moyenne trois à quatre mille nouveaux articles ajoutés chaque mois[1]. L'archive arXiv a été originellement développée par Paul Ginsparg (en) en 1991 comme une archive pour les prépublications de physique.

Impact factor Calculation[edit] In any given year, the impact factor of a journal is the average number of citations received per paper published in that journal during the two preceding years.[1] For example, if a journal has an impact factor of 3 in 2008, then its papers published in 2006 and 2007 received 3 citations each on average in 2008. The 2008 impact factor of a journal would be calculated as follows: A = the number of times that articles published in that journal in 2006 and 2007, were cited by articles in indexed journals during 2008. B = the total number of "citable items" published by that journal in 2006 and 2007. 2008 impact factor = A/B. (Note that 2008 impact factors are actually published in 2009; they cannot be calculated until all of the 2008 publications have been processed by the indexing agency.) Use[edit] The impact factor is used to compare different journals within a certain field. Criticisms[edit] Numerous criticisms have been made of the use of an impact factor. Responses[edit]
SciPlore OpenDOAR - Home Page - Directory of Open Access Repositories Gold Open Access: Are APCs changing the the role of the scholarly library forever? One of the most significant differences between traditional journal publishing and open access publishing is that it turns the way that content is funded on its head. Instead of putting content behind the paywall of a subscription, open access journals make the research they publish available to anyone. Open access publishing itself comes in two flavours. ‘Green’ open access is self-archiving and works by researchers submitting their content to an open access repository, which is free to the author. The model of asking authors to pay APCs has been the source of continuing debate within the scholarly publishing industry, but it is widely accepted that while many authors do pay these charges themselves a large proportion of these costs are borne by funders. When PCG took a closer look at where libraries obtained the funds to meet APCs, it found that 70% of these charges were taken from their existing library materials budget.
Tim Albert 2009 - (Wu et al) Rankings of Academic Journals in Accounting, Finance, and Information System Perception from the College Chairpersons by Ji Wu, Qian Hao, Michelle Y.M. Yao Ji Wu Institute for Financial and Accounting Studies Qian Hao Wilkes University Michelle Y.M. Yao Tulane UniversityMarch 23, 2009 International Journal of Accounting and Information Management, Vol. 17, No. 1, pp. 66-105, 2009 Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is report the importance of research publications for the tenure promotion and for faculty in accounting, finance, and information system (IS) areas, developing valid criteria for the assessment of quality in related journals is necessary. Design/methodology/approach – Existing rankings are usually based on a survey among faculty members, while ignoring the chairs’ critical role in tenure evaluation. Findings – It is found that the rankings in accounting and finance areas are consistent with the prior research, but the rankings in the IS have changed significantly.

Authorama - Public Domain Books UNESCO’s Open Access (OA) Curriculum is now online Within the overall framework of the organization’s strategy on OA, the recent launch of OA curricula for Researchers and Library Schools by UNESCO highlights its efforts for enhancing capacities to deal with Open Access issues. The carefully designed and developed sets of OA curricula for researchers and library and information professionals are based on two needs assessment surveys, and several rounds of face-to-face and online consultations with relevant stakeholders. These curricula will soon be converted into self-directed e-learning tools, which will enable users to self-assess their knowledge on Open Access and take a learning pace that is initiated and directed by the learners themselves. UNESCO also aims to strengthen this initiative by translating the OA curricula into several languages that will increase their reach and impact.
