open access risks

  • One of the forms of open access . . . consists in the creation and use of repositories for research writing: databases, typically run by university libraries, into which ‘pre-prints’ (basically, manuscripts) of journal articles may be uploaded for free download by anyone with access to the internet. This has recently become known as ‘green’ open access

      definition of "Green OA"
  • gold’ open access, which keeps journals open by moving the burden of payment from the reader to the writer

  • t represents a further drain on university budgets (since repositories are not free to run)

      definition of "Gold OA"
  • Authors are not producing work for publishers, but for other academics;
  • Gold OA will likely only work for academics at the richest institutions, creating closed access further upstream
  • OA advocates tend to conflate problems (e.g., library access with subscription prices with domain expertise with taxpayer status), which makes each problem harder to solve or address in a practical way
  • ublishers are in fact paid labor for academics, who are the ultimate consumers
  • Careers in publishing are getting harder, especially in editorial roles, which is leading to fewer young professionals pursuing these paths, bad news for the future of high-quality scientific communication
  • the pay-to-say system was devised in order to permit elite academics to continue publishing in the manner to which they had become accustomed, they will be under no obligation to write in a manner more accessible to an audience of non-specialists, and their publishers will be paid in advance even if no-one ever so much as downloads the articles they turn out.

risks Peer Review open access journals

  • Acceptance was the norm, not the exception
  • accepted by journals hosted by industry titans Sage and Elsevier
  • by journals published by prestigious academic institutions such as Kobe University in Japan.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • by scholarly society journal
  • ven accepted by journals for which the paper's topic was utterly inappropriate,
  • Some open-access journals that have been criticized for poor quality control provided the most rigorous peer review of all.
  • Science. ISSN 0036-8075 (print), 1095-9203 (online)
  • The Who's Who of credible open-access journals is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
  • There is another list—one that journals fear. It is curated by Jeffrey Beall, a library scientist at the University of Colorado, Denver. His list is a single page on the Internet that names and shames what he calls "predatory" publishers
  • one in five of Beall's "predatory" publishers had managed to get at least one of their journals into the DOAJ
  • Some say that the open-access model itself is not to blame for the poor quality control revealed by Science's investigation.
  • But open access has multiplied that underclass of journals, and the number of papers they publish. "Everyone agrees that open-access is a good thing," Roos says. "The question is how to achieve it."
  • The most basic obligation of a scientific journal is to perform peer review

  • Combine those with all of the different views on copyright and licensing for reuse
  • Using terms like gold OA and green OA does not resolve this confusion
