[…] are all computationally complex and intensive. We are not talking about standard-issue content-management systems here or (yawn) building an XML workflow. This invites an obvious question: Is the sheer computational complexity beyond the ability of even the largest and most […]
[…] to the library, with the vision of re-empowering researchers to grab content and return back to a more comprehensive research workflow rather than stay on a publisher platform. They may see the investments that are being made in platforms as […]
[…] journal is a matter of record, and like it or not, journals form a part of the academic and recognition workflow that allows for career progress, grant making, more research and more articles to be published. Moreover, the form of […]
[…] outcome is that you can then see these societies upping their game as journals publishers. To focus on production and workflow, they make arrangements with companies like Allen Press and Cadmus. If they don’t think they have enough marketing clout, […]
[…] Libraries have a wide range of opportunities elsewhere–for example, in providing hosting services for journals or in managing digital production workflows. These are important functions, but they cannot be said to be competitive with the MMP model. It would appear […]
[…] – there’s still much work to be done. As facilitator Greg Tananbaum pointed out, SHARE is a mix of infrastructure, workflow, and policy issues, and the infrastructure part is the easiest. But developing a strong and open infrastructure that will […]
[…] publish for the iPhone and Android, anyone can get books onto the Kindle, anyone can set up a comprehensive XML workflow. But with market share battles there is no relief; it is an arms race, and a publisher can no […]
In this episode, Retraction Watch co-founder Ivan Oransky talks with podcast host Michael Clarke about the causes, trends, and problems with retractions of scientific research papers.

It also produces digital workflow products related to practice management (AAP Point-of-Care Solutions) and the management of continuing education credits (PediaLink). It further produces […]
[…] submission process is ridiculously and needlessly complex, and authors have better things to do than learn and adapt to your workflows. Based on this and similar personal experiences, and on what I’m hearing from fellow authors (and editors), it seems […]
[…] fields. Whatever the research task at hand, scholarly publishers strive to support the discoverability of their works through all such workflows, while libraries strive to support the researcher’s discovery across all relevant works. I have been tracking one kind of […]
[…] While scholarly authors may in some cases have strong relationships with their preferred publishers or journals, on the reader side workflows and affinities increasingly favor discovery over content. For Facebook, the long time lag between a user clicking an article […]
[…] new approaches and tools emerging as researchers themselves tinker with creating tools and resources that better support different tasks and workflows. But tinkering and nurturing new approaches exacts a price. As Eefke Smit, Director of Standards and Technology, STM, noted […]
[…] about some of the various stumbling blocks that off-campus users, especially, experience in using licensed e-resources. Even for common research workflows, when off campus, researchers can be required to click through seven or more webpages in order to gain access […]
