Presentation overview 内容提纲 The Role of Journal Indexing Services Differences between various indexing services Quality of Science: can scientific quality really be measured reliably? drawbacks of citation analysis and ranking DOAJ criteria focus on quality of publishing DOAJ Services The DOAJ Ambassador Programme Worldwide political support for the DOAJ Index Role for DOAJ as Gatekeeper for Quality Open Access Journals In this talk I will focus on open access journals

The Role of DOAJ 基本任务 Centrally, publicly and internationally available community-curated list of high quality open access journal titles across all disciplines and languages The starting point for all information searches for quality, peer-reviewed open access material A hub for metadata for Open Access articles and journals In this talk I will focus on open access journals

DOAJ BASICS 基本情况 Indexing all Open Access journals according to strict criteria   Recognized by governments and international organizations   Providing of a portal to search and access the full text of articles of about 10,000 journals in Open Access   All DOAJ services are free   The DOAJ is funded by its 'sponsors'   The DOAJ is managed by a team of professionals, volunteers and ambassadors worldwide In this talk I will focus on open access journals

OUR VISION 我们的愿景 Becoming the Number 1 Source of Information on open access journals and content in the global North and South In this talk I will focus on open access journals

INDEXING SERVICES 数据库收录 for quality control DOAJ Directory of Open Access Journals OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS ONLY, NO RANKING SCOPUS OPEN ACCESS & SUBSCRIPTION JOURNALS , RANKING WEB OF SCIENCE NATIONAL LISTS OPEN ACCESS & SUBSCRIPTION JOURNALS, RANKING In this talk I will focus on open access journals

INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES FOR OPEN ACCESS 开放获取的基本服务体系 DOAJ is part of the infrastructures needed for open access publishing other services are ORCID LOCKSS SHERPA/ROMEO CROSSREF ALTMETRICS SERVICES LIKE IMPACT STORY, ALTMETRIC PKP OJS (OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEM) DRYAD. FIGSHARE and other datarepositories In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Assessing the Quality of a Journal 评估期刊质量 What is quality? Quality of publishing（出版的质量） Quality of the science （科学的质量） In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Assessing Quality of Research 评估科学研究的质量 Reason for bad quality of science Scientific Method is flawed Peer-review is flawed Citation analysis has many drawbacks In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Can we measure the Quality of Research? (in the current system) For almost everything we eat we can find scientific evidence for causing or preventing cancer In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Can we measure the Quality of Research? (in the current system) Is everything we eat associated with cancer? A systematic cookbook review Jonathan D Schoenfeld and John PA Ioannidis. Am J Clin Nutrition 2013;97:127–34 In this talk I will focus on open access journals All the studies were carefully done and scientifically sound

Peer-review & the Quality of Research Eisen JA, MacCallum CJ, Neylon C (2013) Expert Failure: Re-evaluating Research Assessment. PLoS Biol 11(10): e1001677. doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1001677 In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Citations & Quality of Research 研究的质量和引用 Citation rates ARE for articles not journals citation rates not same as impact citing does not necessarily mean reading More is not better Self citations PEER - Forced citations In this talk I will focus on open access journals Wageningen UR Library

highly skewed distribution of citations 高度不平衡的文献引用分布 Larivière et al. (2016) Table 2: Percentage of papers published in 2013-2014 with number of citations below the value of the 2015 JIF. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/062109

What can we do with Citations? Trace the source of data make research connections / networks visible Find key papers for specific topics (open citations corpus , part of IS4OA) BUT: No conclusions on impact from average citation scores no conclusions on quality from number of citations In this talk I will focus on open access journals Blog.plos.org/biologue 1104029017

Initiative for Open Citations I4OC In this talk I will focus on open access journals

San Francisco Declaration on Research Impact 关于科研影响力的旧金山声明 It doen’t matter where you publish or how much you publish, research assessment should not be based on journal citation analysis like JIF or number of articles published In this talk I will focus on open access journals http://www.ascb.org/dora/

Improving the Quality of Research 提升研究的质量 * Ioannidis JPA (2005) Why most published research fi ndings are false. PLoS Med 2(8): e124 Improving the Quality of Research 提升研究的质量 Ioannidis: most published medical research is False better experimental set-up, control possibilities open access (articles and data) offers better control possibilities need to publish all, negative and positive findings more attention for reproducibility In this talk I will focus on open access journals

NEED FOR OPEN ACCESS 我们需要开放获取 offers access to all who need it Is anessential part of Open Science Reduces the cost of publishing improves communication in science Improves communication about science Offers best possibilities for full participation in the scientific enterprise for all scientists in the global south and North In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Common Misunderstandings on Open Access 对开放获取的常见误解 Articles online free to read = Open Access? Articles online free to download = Open Access? Authors can only use accepted open access articles for classroom use, put them on their own or institute website, make limited nr of prints Authors need to retain their copyright in Open Access? Open access can also be after 1 year, 2 years other delay NO In this talk I will focus on open access journals Open Access needs BOAI statement on journal website, saying the article will be immediate open access, free to read, download, distribute, print or use for whatever other legal purpose AND Open Access needs licensing and copyright conditions telling who is the owner of the work and telling who may use article content and for what purposes for instance CC-BY, CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-ND, CC-BY-SA

ADVANTAGES OF OPEN ACCESS 开放获取的优势 articles receive more citations articles are more read reaches a bigger audience is less prone to bias avoids duplicate studies Articles can be more easily checked data less prone to manipulation is better for advancing science leads to more innovation Leads to better education In this talk I will focus on open access journals

ONLY in the case of QUALITY CONTROLLED OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS TRUE BUT …… ONLY in the case of QUALITY CONTROLLED OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Assessing the Quality of Publishing 评估出版质量 DOAJ criteria for Quality Open Access Publishing Principles of transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (DOAJ, OASPA, COPE, WAME) In this talk I will focus on open access journals

WHAT IS QUALITY OPEN ACCESS? 高质量的开放获取 Free and (almost) unrestricted access Adherence to the BOAI definition No Embargoes No Hybrid Journals Copyright ownership clearly described Use of open access licensing like Creative Commons or equivalent In this talk I will focus on open access journals

Questionable Journals and Blacklists 问题期刊和黑名单

How DOAJ detects Questionable Journals Low publishing quality Journal name, website, fees, peer review, publisher, ownership, volume of articles, advertisements, prominent soliciting for editors Low scientific quality focus, format, self-citations, plagiarism Malpractice false claims, hidden costs, spamming authors, wrong information

How you can detect Questionable Journals 如何甄别出问题期刊 In this talk I will focus on open access journals

WHAT ABOUT THE STING ?? . October 2013 February 2014 THE STING

. THE STING : An example of Bad Science “The Sting” applied only to open access journals No comparison was made with the subscription journals This study was an example of 'Bad Science' Many of the research results published in journals are false, in subscription journals and in open access journals 'Retraction Watch' only shows the top of the iceberg --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open access journals offer better control possibilities: more readers, more exposure, more complete data Greater exposure is at the same time the reason why bad reviews with open access stand out more Greater public exposure can be / and is in fact used to discredit open access journals

Questionable Publishing: the Real Picture * http://walt.lishost.org/2015/11/ppppredatory-article-counts-an-investigation-part-1/ **Shen and Björk.  BMC Medicine201513:230 Questionable Publishing: the Real Picture NOT ONLY IN OPEN ACCESS JOURNALS Not AS HIGH AS OFTEN REPORTED according to a study* by Walt Crawford the number questionable publishers in 2014 was about 3275 publishing about 121,000 articles and not 420,000 (Shen and Björk ** reported 8000 journals and 420,000 articles!!)

Questionable Publishing in Perspective 有关问题期刊 Proportion of low quality journals is comparable between open access and subscription publishing but it looks worse because Open Access journals are more visible FACTS Not all subscription journals are in Scopus or WoS: only 20-30,000 of 100,000 (data Ulrich’s Web) Not all open access journals are in DOAJ : only about 10-12,000 of 30,000 *** *** Walt Crawford http://citesandinsights.info/civ17i1.pdf

Questionable Publishing in Perspective CONCLUSION Percentage of Quality checked Journals in Open Access and Subscription publishing systems is comparable

The Reality of Open Access 开放获取的真实情况 IF Open Access were really such LOW QUALITY..... Why would so many publishers switch to Open Access? Why would 30 % of all STM papers to date be published using open access? Why would open access grow at twice the rate of toll access? In this talk I will focus on open access journals
