From: Judy Luther <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2014 21:22:18 +0000 Open Access and shoes – what’s the connection? Latest issue of Learned Publishing now out. So what could be the connection? You’ll have to read the editorial (free to access) in the latest, October, issue of LP to find out. Now a sexist editor might have the temerity to say that such a piece could only be written by one of the sexes, but of course your current editor would not dream of suggesting such a thing. All publishers should also be interested in an article by Rachael Lammey detailing CrossRef’s important initiative to assist publishers and researchers on the vexed issue of text and data mining (TDM). Also in the October issue of Learned Publishing are the following: Ø Communication or competition: what motivates researchers to write articles for journals? by Michael Jubb Ø Unpublished research: examining and organizing the ‘file drawer‘ by Andrew Tsou, Jutta Schickore, and Cassidy R. Sugimoto Ø How to spot fake open access journals by Saeed Mehrpour and Yaser Khajavi Ø Uploading garbage files to the DOI system of a journal: a new type of misconduct by Kyu Won Jung, Elizabeth Wager and Sun Huh Ø ‘The Stone Age came to an end not for the lack of stones…’ by Bob Campbell Ø Comparing ‘papers cited rates’ with other measures for science journal evaluation by Gai Shuang-Shuang, Lui Xue-Li, Zhang Shi-Le and Lui Rui-Yuan Ø How is discipline of publishing studies accommodated within universities? By Alison Baverstock and Jackie Steinitz Ø The peer-review process in English-language advertising journals: a survey of US academics by Owen Kulemeka Pippa Smart Interim Editor-in-Chief Learned Publishing [log in to unmask] Learned Publishing Volume 27 No 4 July 2014 www.learned-publishing.org Articles are free to all ALPSP and SSP members and to journal subscribers.
