The process of peer-review and publication in the interactive scientific journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) differs from traditional scientific journals. It is a two-stage process involving the scientific discussion forum Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions (ACPD), and it has been designed to use the full potential of the internet to foster scientific discussion and enable rapid publication of scientific papers. Initial access peer-review assures the basic scientific and technical quality for papers published in ACPD. Subsequent interactive discussion and public commenting by the referees, authors and other members of the scientific community is expected to enhance quality control for papers published in ACP beyond the limits of the traditional closed peer-review. Also in cases where no additional comments from the scientific community are received, a full peer-review process in the traditional sense, but in a more transparent way, is assured before publication of a paper in ACP.

Y este es el caso de la revista que tiene el proceso de revision por pares abierto en internet

Read on for advice from fellow editors on how to: * Increase editorial team productivity by divvying up journal work more effectively * Use metrics to alleviate bottlenecks in your journal's peer review process * Create a training plan for new and existing editors to address editorial team expectations, software proficiency, and publication ethics * Maintain a pool of peer reviewers and make them feel recognized and appreciated

Will the move to Open access, Open peer review and the Plos one "no selection bias policy" lead to the downfall of the impact factor of journals? Will we finally move on to use the citation index of actual papers as the golden standard for academic performance?

ACS Mobile provides readers with a searchable, multi-journal, up-to-the-minute live stream of new peer-reviewed research content (Articles ASAPSM) published across the Society's preeminent portfolio of scholarly research journals, including the flagship Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Developing a sound business model is a critical concern of publishers considering open-access distribution. Selecting the model appropriate to a particular journal will depend not only on the expense hurdle that must be cleared, but also on the publisher's mission objectives, size, business management resources, risk tolerance, tax status, and institutional or corporate affiliation. This Web site and accompanying guide provide an overview of income models currently being used to support the open-access distribution of peer-reviewed scholarly and scientific journals. These resources will be a useful tool both for publishers exploring new potential sources of income and for libraries weighing where to direct meager library funds.

The three different impact metrics are all based on methodologies developed by external bibliometricians and use Scopus as the data source. Scopus is the largest citation database of peer-reviewed literature and features tools to track, analyze and visualize research output. Via this website, the three journal metrics are provided free of charge.

"To make the process as simple as possible we can reduce the procedure to just a few steps: Eliminate names, contact information, and affiliations from title pages (and anyplace else). Eliminate references to funding sources. Eliminate acknowledgments scan the text and make sure to use the third person to refer to personal work. Make sure figures do not contain any affiliation related identifier. De-personalize the work by using anonymous text where necessary. Remove self-citations and citations to unpublished work."

Opening up access to academic research will put more data and power in the hands of the people who pay for it

Este artículo proporciona una relación histórica de las revistas científicas y enfatiza tres aspectos: clasificación, evaluación y los desafíos que giran en torno a su impacto y certificación. El contexto histórico de la ciencia moderna proporcionó las condiciones para que las investigaciones se divulgaran formalmente y los journals académicos comenzaron a circular a partir de 1665. Considerada la ciencia como institución social, en los años 60 se desarrolló la cienciometría, área que estudia los aspectos cuantitativos de la información científica. Las revistas académicas, indexadas en importantes bases de datos, son las elegidas para divulgar el nuevo conocimiento. Las publicaciones latinoamericanas integran la periferia del conocimiento con escasa presencia internacional. El incremento positivo de producción científica de la región se concentra en Brasil, Argentina, Chile y México en las áreas de ingeniería, tecnología, biología y salud. Se concluye que mantener en circulación revistas científicas latinoamericanas obedece a la necesidad de construir un patrimonio intelectual propio y asumir la tarea editorial debe ser una decisión responsable, pues lo contrario es perecer al corto plazo y hacer invisible el trabajo científico. Toda la crítica respecto a los indicadores de impacto y la hegemonía del idioma inglés ha motivado la consolidación de Latindex y Scielo, que apuntan a mejorar los indicadores de la ciencia latinoamericana. Dar visibilidad a autores y revisores, mejorar las pautas de evaluación de artículos y capacitar a los revisores son propuestas que pretenden mejorar el cuestionado rol del sistema de referato.
