France's Héloise Directory of Publisher Policies on Author Open Access Self-A... - 0 views

  • The research community can never remind itself too often what it repeatedly seems to forget: Peer-reviewed journal publishing is a service industry. It is performing a service to the research community (for which it is paid, abundantly, via subscriptions). Research is not funded by the public, nor conducted and published by researchers as a service to the publishing industry.

IDEALS @ Illinois: Assessing the Value of Ebooks to Academic Libraries and Users - 0 views

  •  
    In 2010, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) Library agreed to take part in a global study of Elsevier electronic books (ebooks) sponsored by Elsevier Publishing. Ultimately, 129 UIUC faculty and graduate students participated in a logbook study that examined the ebook discovery process, detailed the way in which this group of researchers used ebooks, and queried users on the value they assigned to Elsevier ebooks. Going beyond the Elsevier survey, this study examines the value of ebooks both to UIUC users and to libraries, and it reports on an assessment of the ebook collection at UIUC including cost and use statistics. The results show that UIUC users assigned a high value to Elsevier ebooks for research purposes; this paper also determines that, in the broadest sense and as a collective format, ebooks offer libraries a better economic value than print books (pbooks) when comparing the cost of activities such as processing, circulation, storage and preservation.

Library Use of Web-based Research Guides | Ghaphery | Information Technology and Libraries - 1 views

  •  
    This paper describes the ways in which libraries are currently implementing and managing web-based research guides (a.k.a. Pathfinders, LibGuides, Subject Guides, etc.) by examining two sets of data from the spring of 2011. One set of data was compiled by visiting the websites of ninety-nine American university ARL libraries and recording the characteristics of each site's research guides. The other set of data is based on an online survey of librarians about the ways in which their libraries implement and maintain research guides. In conclusion, a discussion follows that includes implications for the library technology community.

Times Higher Education - Sage cuts price of open-access journal - 0 views

  • Recognition that non-science academics often lacked specific research funding led the California-based commercial publisher to launch Sage Open with an article fee of just $695, compared with PLoS ONE's $1,350 - and $5,000 at Elsevier's Cell titles. Sage Open has so far received more than 1,400 manuscripts, and published more than 160 articles. However, a recent survey of authors indicated that more than 70 per cent of Sage Open's accepted authors had paid the article fee out of their own pocket, while only 15 per cent of all articles published in 2012 across Sage's fleet of humanities and social sciences journals derived from research projects with allocated funding.

Half of all papers from 2011 are open access | Chemistry World - 0 views

    "'We basically took a sample of 320,000 papers from various databases and developed "harvester" software to look for the availability of articles,' says Science-Metrix CEO Éric Archambault. 'If it was able to download a paper it would classify it as a free article.' The software searched papers across different disciplines, published between 2001 and 2011 in Europe, Brazil, Canada, Japan and the US. The sample included material from online databases, such as Scopus and PubMed, as well as the websites of publishers, institutions and researchers. Over 40% of peer-reviewed articles published worldwide over the whole 10-year period could be downloaded for free, and for 2011 alone this figure rose to around 50%. The report's estimates are significantly higher than those generated by similar studies, most of which put the proportion of published papers that are open access in the region of 20-30%."
