[…] Working out which of these developments to engage with, when to adopt them, and what this means for existing systems and workflows is going to be part and parcel of publishing in the coming years. Sand blowing off a sand dune.
[…] passes along a portion of the fee to the publisher. If the service is configured to trigger when a discovery workflow ends without other forms of access to a licensed or open version of the article, these services can come […]
[…] digital solutions, the obvious gap between the researcher and the publisher is even greater. How to create an end-to-end XML workflow? Should we develop our own software platform in house or work with one of the growing number of vendors? […]
[…] integrated feature. Resources of the human kind are typically needed. Stepping outside of the product enhancement area, we take seriously workflow changes and tools that will legitimately make the work of our volunteers easier. We have amazing volunteers that do […]
[…] the viability of these publishers. Plan S favors large scale publishers, particularly those with capital reserves to invest in technology, workflows, etc., and to protect against any dips in revenue during transitions. Small, independent, and society publishers are already under […]
[…] Interoperability between applications, tools and data sets will allow researchers to use whichever platform they choose while providing a seamless workflow experience. To give you an example: Mendeley Data enables researchers to search for others’ data in 35 open repositories, […]
[…] refers to itself as a publisher, rather it is a “global information analytics business” and we’ve covered the shift toward workflow tools extensively (see here, here, here, here, and here for examples). This is creating a lot of anxiety in […]
[…] similar. The Oldenburgian principles of registration, dissemination, certification and archiving that underpin the academic record rely on a series of workflow tools and processes like peer-review, content management, and typesetting that will increasingly be seen as the price of entry […]
[…] count — steps that publishers can take immediately. The first is in their guidelines, the second is in their production workflow, and the third is in the metadata deposit to Crossref. The first step, as in the Enabling FAIR data […]
[…] library discovery services and abstracting & indexing (A&I) databases, it’s a shame to see this sort of barrier to scholarly workflows. Creating dead-ends and silos in this way undermines research and shores up illegal pathways to content, signaling ongoing threats […]
[…] researchers. Guthrie: Let’s bring your farm and restaurant metaphor to the scholarly context: Elsevier has recently acquired a number of workflow and preprint tools, for example, SSRN, bepress, and Pure. Is that about providing value? — some might argue that […]
[…] process and enables it to occur wherever and whenever the researcher has a few minutes to review results. Extending the workflow to mobile devices maximizes the value for all researchers globally. With emerging technologies becoming more sophisticated, we’re entering a […]
[…] set up as an independent title on the publishing platform. The platform fees will vary depending on the provider. Journal workflows may need to be adjusted to incorporate the post-acceptance fork. New contract addenda will be needed for any societies […]
[…] OA is certainly a driver in the shift of focus of the major market players away from publishing and toward workflow services. If OA ever does get to a point where it drastically devalues the work that publishers do, then […]
The scholarly publishing sector has struggled to address the problems that users face in their discovery-to-access workflow and thereby stave off skyrocketing piracy. The top-line impact of these struggles is becoming clearer, starting with Elsevier’s absence from Germany. This makes […]
