The current investigation assesses research productivity within the Journal of Family Business Management, employing various bibliometric indicators. A total of 393 scientific publications, spanning the period from 2011 to 2023, were retrieved from the Scopus database through relevant keyword searches. The findings are presented in both tabular and graphical formats. Additionally, the study utilizes the VOSviewer© tool to conduct network visualization, exploring collaboration and relationships among authors, co-authors, countries, institutions, co-occurrence of keywords, and co-citation of cited references in the field of FBM.The results highlight a noticeable upward trend in publication activity over the past 13 years, with 393 scientific publications yielding 4008 citations and an average of 10.69 citations per publication. The United States and the United Kingdom emerge as the most prolific countries in publishing research within the field, while Australia and the United Kingdom produce the highest number of prolific authors. La Trobe Business School, Queen Margaret University, and Niccolò Cusano University are identified as the top three productive organizations contributing to the Journal of Family Business Management.The network visualization analysis further reveals collaborative efforts among authors, countries, and organizations. Co-occurrence of keywords is reported, with terms such as family business, family firms, succession planning, and entrepreneurship standing out as frequently used keywords with significant link strength. These findings provide valuable insights into the landscape of research in family business management.

In the ecosystem of scientific communication the open is taking decisive positions (plan S on publication in OpenAccess journals for Europe, unsubscription of Elsevier's electronic collection in Sweden...), and journals face the challenge of publishing the research data underlying the article. This is changing the panorama of scientific publishing, with the appearance of new models of journals, such as "data journals" (García-García, Lopez Borrull, Peset, 2015), or of articles, such as "data papers" or Elsevier's "Data in brief". This trend stems from the policies and mandates of funders such as NIH (2003) or the H2020 programme (from 2013); but it also stems from the willingness of authors, who like to release the data while uploading the article to the journal platform. In the latest survey by the Danish National Research Foundation (Open Access to data, 2017), 32% of researchers attach their data as supplementary material to the article; although this preference was previously corroborated (Piwowar and Chapman, 2010). The additional material route may face some problems: storage limit, due to the risks for its correct preservation and interoperability; access, if the title is not subscribed; or supply by interlibrary loan... (NISO, 2013; Peset, 2018). To minimize these problems, the authors advocate a mixed approach, which some journals already recommend and practice depositing data in a repository and establishing a reciprocal link in the article. The discipline of documentation has been fully involved in the study of the way of repositories. The work of CSUC (2017) that establishes a clear and concise comparative table with the technological solutions that can be used stands out. But there is very little literature on solutions for journals. Publishers and authors face each other alone, turning to their libraries and in the best of cases to university academic publishers (Hernandez and Perez, 2018) to solve problems. There are papers that study journal policies with respect to their data (Vasilevsky et al., 2017; Aleixandre et al., 2019), but we are not aware of any systematic review of the technological solutions offered to journals to meet this challenge. This poster presents the indicators that must be collected in order to offer comparative information on the tools offered to journals (Dataverse, Figshare and DRYAD). In addition to aspects already collected by previous works, these have been added on: registration of the journal's policy; connection with a standard system of scientific publication; number of journals and editors; type of identifier, if different; and specific services. With the iterative design method we will obtain a definitive table.

In the ecosystem of scholar communication where the openess is taking increasingly decisive positions (plan S on publication in OA journals for Europe, unsubscription of the electronic collection of Elsevier by Sweden ...) journals face a new challenge: take on the publication of the research data underlying an article. In the latest survey of the Danish National Research Foundation (Open Access to data, 2017) 32% of researchers attach their data as supplementary material to the article and also previous works corroborate this preference (Piwowar and Chapman, 2010). The poster shows pros and cons of the supplementary-material-road (NISO, 2013; Peset, 2018). To minimize the problems we advocate to deposit the data in a repository and establish a reciprocal link in the article. We are not aware of any systematic review of the technological solutions offered to journals to meet this challenge. The aim of this work is to offer comparative information on the solutions most integrated with journals (such as Dataverse, Figshare and Zenodo), with their functionalities and current prices.

The dissemination of scientific production and the visibility of the brand are both crucial objectives for any academic journal. In this workshop, the general situation of the presence in social networks of the Social Sciences and Humanities journals is presented and different strategies, techniques and tips for the use of social media are offered for any academic journal, based on the experience of the speakers in the management of the social media of the magazine El profesional de la Información.

The research aims to reflect on the context of the policies of support to the journals in open access in Brazil, with emphasis on actions taken in the country to consolidate the Open Access Movement. A qualitative methodology is used, focusing on a selective and interpretative bibliographic analysis of information sources on open access journals in Brazil. Support for journals comes from a context in which national journals have a small presence on international indexing bases, raising the interest of agencies to foster a select nucleus of publications based on quality criteria. In the 1990s, the introduction of information technology in publishing led to a quantitative and qualitative leap in publications; in addition, the decentralized structure of the Internet and its wide reach represented the possibility of greater coverage of publications, allowing more access the results of the surveys. Although the country already had a mainly open access publication system, it was launched by representatives of the scientific community interested in disseminating the principles of open access among research institutions, teaching, research support agencies and the academic community, a series of manifestos of support to the Movement, since they represented the politicization of the scientific community and the existing policies for scientific publishing towards an international movement linked to the freedom and democratization of the access to scientific information. In the Brazilian case, development agencies, in addition to supporting the development of research and the publication of their researchers in international journals, provided researchers and students access to these publications, either through the signing of titles or the maintenance of scientific publications portals. Regarding the funding of publications in open access, the line of promotion to periodicals offered by the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), together with the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), is indicated. which aims to support the publication of Brazilian scientific journals of high specialization. Similarly, the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) maintains a line of assistance to publications that offers funding for journals that are indexed in meaningful databases, prioritizing titles that meet the requirements for electronic linkage within SciELO. The SciELO project is the most consolidated open access policy in the country, accompanied by the IBICT's technological diffusion initiatives, such as the Electronic Journaling System (SEER) and tools for the creation of digital repositories. These open access scientific and technological policies are relevant to Brazilian science, and the State is the main supporter of the Open Access Movement. It is concluded that open access to scientific literature is practically a Brazilian national policy, since the formal scientific communication consists mainly of free electronic journals, however, we encounter a series of challenges faced by Brazilian scientific journals that hinder their development as reduced financial resources and human resources training.

In the ‘normal’ world of retail and commerce you pay for an item and receive the item. In the world of academic journals you prepay for the item and you might receive the item and you might get some money back depending on what journals you did or didn’t receive. In the world of offset pricing you prepay, then you pay again, you sometimes use vouchers, you might get a discount (the following year) then you might get money back, or you might not. Are publishers knowingly placing barriers to off-set models, and not transparently offsetting the APCs to the subscription cost, in order to raise more income? Whether by design or accident it is a complex world which needs a time commitment, which not all librarians can give, to understand fully. The new model of scholarly communication, which leading universities (including KAUST) want to introduce, is based on shifting the subscription costs to publishing costs, not to double the payment channels to the publishers. Can we get to a mutually beneficial position where the author can deposit the accepted version of the article into the Institutional Repository without any embargo period as the institute is agreeing to pay the subscription fee on an ongoing basis? The required model does not adversely affect the vendors’ revenue. This presentation, based on KAUST’’s experience to date, will attempt to explain the different models of offset pricing while outlining KAUST’s dual approach, redirecting subscription money to publishing money and embedding open access terms in understandable language in our license agreements, to the problem. Why we have accepted IoP’s offset offer and not Springer’s, though we were considered among the first timers and important Institutions? Why is this important? Resolving the inherent complexities in offsetting models will save libraries money and also time wasted on tedious and unnecessary administration work. Researchers do not want to know about offsetting agreements nor should they need to know. It is difficult enough to do and write up valuable research without having to do further research on offset pricing models. The authors of the articles without whom, as academic librarians or publishers, we would be redundant are often the neglected link in the chain. Finally, the Institutional Repository needs to know what we are up to. The current answer to many queries is that “it depends on the publisher,” isn’t good enough. There has to be a standard model. What is needed overall is clarity and transparency. This will enable trust and, where mistakes are made, and there inevitable will be with untried models, we can learn from these mistakes and make better, more robust services with auto deposition of our articles to our repository fed by Publishers’ themselves . If libraries can organize as groups at regional or (with more difficulty) international level more favorable licensing agreements, including standardized offset pricing model language, can be leveraged which will be advantageous to all parties; publishers, libraries and, most importantly, authors. It is incumbent that we familiarize ourselves with the pricing models, in all their complexity, and strive through collective organization to have these models simplified and standardized. Let’s turn that subscription money into publishing money.

Scientific journal on mining, titled „Mining Science” has been issued since 1978 at the Faculty of Geoengineering Mining and Geology, the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. In order to improve the quality and visibility of the journal on the world stage, numerous changes have been introduced. Implementation of the strategy for the journal development began with change to its title, from „Prace Naukowe Instytutu Górnictwa Politechniki Wrocławskiej. Górnictwo i Geologia” [Research Papers of Institute of Mining of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Mining and Geology] (ISSN 0370-0798) into „Mining Science” (ISSN 2300-9586). Journal’s visibility of the internet, built in order to increase the chance to quote, was achieved by signing multiple contracts or filing to key global abstract databases. Also, Editorial System was implemented, which has improved the entire editing, editorial and reviewing process, as well as operation of the journal’s homepage.

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is the largest and authoritative international source of information about open journals. Polish open access journals are indexed there from the very beginning of DOAJ. In 2015, the catalog's editorial board prepared new guidelines for indexing journals. Consequence of this move was preparation of the new application and reapplication form. The article gives the review for the changes in all application forms that occurred since the beginning of DOAJ. It also contains most important guidelines for journals publishers and editorial boards who are applying to DOAJ according to new rules. Part of the paper is also devoted to good practices related to the openness of journals and scientific publications accepted in the DOAJ.

The platforms of scientific journals and the bibliographic databases are essential tools for each researcher. They document the development of scientific research, and – in the context of the formal parametric and evaluation requirements – guarantee the inclusion of individual publications in the scientific communication system. Although the two types of tools have similar tasks, they also have some differences (in the field of creating, functionality, co-operation with digital repositories, accessibility for the potential users). Author tried to indicate the fields and tendencies of both sources mutual permeability, as well as the differences between them.

Journal publishers increasingly decide to share their resources in open access. They do this by using a web page journal, a digital library, a repository, or put articles in databases. Databases are one of the most important channels of access to the full text of the journals gathered there. The aim of the study will be to check the availability of full texts in Polish databases and to draw attention to the role that they play in the dissemination of research achievements.

The Bibliography of Polish Ethnography (BEP) has been online since 2007 and since that year has changed several times. At the technical level, the software was changed, which effected on the way how the editors work. At the level of functioning, the functionality of the database has been expanded by adding redirects from the database directly to the texts, if they are available in the public domain. The members of the editorial team also began to incorporate BEP into the didactic process. The paper presents the lessons learned from the work on modified database and the experience gained during didactics using BEP.

The aim of the article is to present a multi-annual project co-financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education within the grant for the dissemination of science called „Extension of the PEDAGOG database”. This database was presented in relation to the EDUKACJA database and the generally accepted assessment criteria for evaluation of abstracts and bibliographical databases.

Polish Literary Bibliography (PBL) is the largest bibliography of the humanities in Poland. It covers literature, theatre and Polish film. At the beginning it was printed – there were 45 volumes published in print. In 1998 PBL was transformed into a database. Now, the new version of a database is being created. One of the main goals of a new database is to better depict the relations between entities registered by PLB.

Social marketing of the database is a fairly new phenomenon in the scientific community. Does the product, that is bibliographical BazTech database, need community building around itself, the bond and permanent communication? The author of the following article is trying to answer these questions, as well as describing promotional activies of the BazTech’s makers. She is also describing the stages of the base promotion programme’s implementation via social networking site Facebook (planning posts in terms of the plot, form and frequency) and through traditional promotion tools, i.e. poster or other graphic forms.

Phenomena incident to social communication are currently undergoing metamorphoses, which may be putting in a troublesome situation practitioners of professions, responsible for cuirculation of information or organization of knowledge. In post-normal science (we suggest a Polish term: nauka aparadygmatyczna) traditional borderlines between the body of scientific knowledge and its applications and implementations are fading away, and contradictions between uncertain facts, values in dispute, stakes high and decisions urgent (S. Funtowicz, J. Ravetz, 1993) seem indelible. This is why we are looking for new taxonomies defining subject, scope and method of scientific research and alternative methods of quantitative and qualitative insights into scientific text. It seems it might be worthwhile to depart here from long-accepted methods based on disciplinary structure of science and on predicted reception of a work. We believe that in the future bibliography and science policy will detect quality and importance of a work based on its structure and vocabulary, and we look around to locate such analyses, sprouting already in different areas of theory and practice, for example through the development of artificial intelligence research.

The aim of the BazEkon database is to satisfy the information needs for users in terms of the scientific literature in the field of economic sciences and related subjects promote in this regard the achievements of Polish scientific forethought. The databases recipients are mainly students, graduate students, PhD’s and all scientific staff of Polish universities and research and development institutes. Nevertheless, due to the open access to the variety of subjects covered by the database, the number of costumers is constantly growing. The database can also be a valuable source of information for employees of different industries and businesses. In addition BazEkon may assist publishers to upload publishing data to governmental system calls POL-index, simultaneously the database can be a form of advertising itself due to the open access and indexing via Google Scholar, Google. Finally, new available solutions obtainable in the database will be presented.

Together with technological development, subject bibliographies have evolved - from the classic printed bibliographic form through bibliographic and abstracts’ databases to full-text databases. The organization work on bibliographies and their informational capabilities have also changed. The basic role of subject bibliography is to document writings on a specific knowledge discipline. Based on literature and databases’ analysis, we tried to answer following questions: What is the role of subject bibliography towards science? Why is subject bibliography important? What are the problems of sub-ject bibliography nowadays? What is the subject bibliography’s competition? Can internet content re-place subject databases? What types of subject bibliographies do users expect? What are the expec-tations for the subject bibliography in the future?

The directions of development of the AGRO database in the years 2009-2015 and the following are discussed. New elements of the database introduced by the implementation of two EU projects were presented and the related qualitative and quantitative development of the base, above all the increase in chronological metadata. The recipients of the database were defined and the information and search preferences of their users were determined based on surveys. The types of learning resources included in the AGRO database are characterized. The statistics on database usage are illustrated.

The speech presents plans for the development of the Polish Medical Bibliography for the years 2017–2018. All publications included in the periodical appearing in PBL will be added to the database and the number of indexed journals will also be increased in the database, while the descriptor language development will be narrowed down only to the articles of Polish authors. Other documents will only be entered with keywords. Changes will also include the expansion and refinement of the search engine with new capabilities such as search history, keyword search, multiple content indicators, or multiple qualifiers. In addition, a full search engine will be launched to the prePBL database, which provides records immediately after entering, even before the final revision. Implementing the above aims requires a complete modernization of the production database.

Article stresses that digitization, digitalization and its derivatives, such as electronic delivery service, full-search, open access, open data and Web 2.0 make it rethink meaning and contemporary tasks of bibliography as a link in the cycle of creating, circulating and applying knowledge.

10 Aspects to be considered by scientific journals in Social Sciences before designing a data policy

In this presentation, I will argue that the “serials crisis” and the subsequent need for library publishing are best understood not by focusing on the singular actions of individuals or publishers, but through an analysis of neoliberalism—the nation’s predominant economic ideology. In a discourse of critique, I will analyze scholarly journal publishing using the following major elements of neoliberalism: the primacy of the “free market,” privatization, deregulation, and using individualism to justify cuts to social services and to discredit notions of the public good. Critics argue that neoliberalism, a set of political and economic policies that have become widespread over the past 35 years, is a pernicious system that disproportionately benefits a small number of major corporate shareholders. Its effects, which include widening inequality and being prone to crises, are masked by the public’s ignorance, historical amnesia, propaganda, indifference, and austerity. In a discourse of possibility, I will discuss the transformative potential of library-publishers creating and participating in cooperatives. Library publishing can attain greater sustainability and impact through a more robust system of state and regional partnerships based on two major types of cooperatives: worker cooperatives, where the creators of goods and services collectively decide the fate of their work, and purchasing cooperatives, where members mutually benefit by acquiring in solidarity with each other. Cooperative economics is increasingly seen as a viable alternative to neoliberalism, and there are successful stories across the globe. Additionally, the transition by several Latin American nations away from neoliberalism by democratizing their economics and emphasizing the public good and cooperation will be explored. Attendees will be able to contextualize the so-called serials crisis with greater clarity, advocate for library publishing more compellingly, identify more impactful solutions, and have an increased sense of individual and collective agency.

An international group of 33 scientists, led by Tennant, recently released their multidisciplinary perspective on future and emerging innovations for editorial peer review inspired in Web 2.0 platforms: Amazon, Blockchain, GitHub, Hypothesis, Reddit, Stack Exchange, and Wikipedia. Several innovations proposed are actions to be carried out by artificial agents, in line with Fuchs' concept of sociotechnological system, in which the properties emerge from human-machine dynamic collaboration. The research objective was to identify knowledge-intensive automatable tasks among the innovations described. What are these processes performed by software and what other actors in the system do they involve? The research objective was to identify these processes and actors involved. This is a bibliographic research using as corpus the study of emerging innovations by Tennant et al. Of 56 identified passages that refer to automatable peer review functions and tasks, 44 were discarded for focusing on bureaucratic activities. We analyzed the 12 excerpts that describe knowledge-intensive tasks, resulting in allocation, evaluation, classification, diagnosis, modeling, monitoring, and prediction tasks. Some tasks' automation speeds up the system or improve it with previously unavailable services. Some tasks are associated with the repression of scientific misconduct. The innovations are discussed as a symptom of software's transition from mere virtualization to dynamic collaboration with people, and from technocentrism to sociotechnological functioning, in which software supports human decision-making instead of replacing it.

Results from a survey done to LIS Journals' editors. opinions of editors and directors of Library and Information Science journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Knowledge in terms of current situation and forecast of open access, peer review procedures, functionalities and specialization. The response rate was 22% and some remarkable conclusions are: the major business model for journal publishing will be open access into 5-10 years and institutional support is the preferred source of financing; review process is faster, since more than 90% of those who responded require less than two months and the main problems are low quality of texts and finding reviewers; functionalities such as mobile version of the journals, social media, data policy and altmetrics have to be exploited yet; interdisciplinary will increase their presence in journals specially from Communication, Management and Computer Science as a related areas.

Presentation in CRECS 2015, concerning how data papers and data journals can change the relation of Scientists with data and the way they spread scientific knowledge

Scientific journals despite their evolution in recent years, continue to face some problems. First, the criticism continuous review system. Second, a crisis of business models that the Open Access movement in many cases has increased. Regarding the review system, some initiatives (F10000 Research) and methods (Post Publication) are considering to reinforce, first, the link between author and magazine, which is often diluted or disappear once the item is finally accepted (Hunter, 2012). These processes may include post-publication or not the authors (not necessarily include a process Open Peer Review). Moreover, there are approaches that can help give value to these processes. Thus, scientific journals can become communities that have added value to the published contents. Perhaps one of these potential added value of the journals to consider is the opportunity to share the knowledge generated around them. The fact that experts in a particular discipline or field could benefit from the experience of others through their research, case studies, ways to approach specific issues, etc can lead to greater interest in following specific publication. Thus, it would not be only a matter of content (which has been conducted a review), but emerged comments about the methodology, future applications, etc. Besides knowing the results of a particular job, it could participate through communities of the manufacturing process of the investigation of the possible obstacles encountered and how these were resolved, and alternatives proposed by other community members. It is therefore try, to get to know specific details that are not reflected in the articles and to share and exchange experiences with other experts in the field. The kind of community emerging around the end of this interest will depend on the nature of the activity generated by its members. But communities where knowledge is generated, ie, communities called value, are three: community of practice, community of interest or community of learning (Sanz-Martos, 2012). The hostel space community could also help in capturing the advertising for the magazine. If communities reach a large volume of members and participation could become an attractive place for advertising and generate a model of alternative or complementary business. In the communication that will be presented in CRECS 2015, various types of existing communities are valued and the advantages and disadvantages they may have on their development in some of the experiences that are taking place in terms of post-publication weighted.

A brief discussion of Open Access-related activities carried out at the University of Calgary by Libraries and Cultural Resources with emphasis on faculty education regarding OA. Presented at the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) Annual General Meeting, University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, October 8, 2014.

The BazTech database – integration and widening access. The BazTech base enables the access to scientific publications in Polish journals in the field of technical sciences, and as one of the resources of open science is available at the Virtual Library of Science. The paper presents the current state of BazTech as an introduction to the review of the development of the base in the direction of integration with other resources. Integration – apart from multibrowsers (eg PRIMO), data aggregators (such as Google Scholar), nationwide database of publications (eg, Polish Scientific Bibliography) and citation databases (eg POL-index) – also applies to cooperation with Polish publishers of scientific journals. By analogy, will be presented efforts of database creators aimed at widening access – both through the inclusion of resources BazTech to other collections, as well as the modification of search interface and development of the content of records with additional elements, such as bibliographies, DOI numbers or full-text of articles.

Updating Occupational Medicine (UMdL): a tool to develop and to share ideas and scientific information. Call for networking. A brief summary of the main aims, website activities (updatingmdl.wordpress.com), Open Access journal policies and future perspectives of the project UMdL mainly provided by the voluntary efforts of resident students in Occupational Medicine.

This presentation looks at the Open Access suite in Libraries and Cultural Resources at the University of Calgary, especially the Open Access Authors Fund, as well as the roles of librarians in promoting Open Access, particularly in terms of trust and transparency. Presented at OASPA's 1st Asian Conference on Open Access Scholarly Publishing, Bangkok, Thailand, June 3, 2014.
