Some keys about the trajectory and main characteristics of the scientific journal "El profesional de la información" ("The information professional"), EPI: history, sections, business model, topics, publications and citations, internationalization, and dissemination in social media.

Scientific journals are the main medium for the dissemination of research results and are the fundamental pillar of scientific communication because, in addition, they are a record of the intellectual and cultural work of countries, regions and the world. Technology has changed the workflow of researchers and editorial teams, allowing the possibility of managing the entire production of a scientific journal online. This change in format offers the possibility of applying the protocols and requirements established by the main indexes, repertoires and databases for the indexing of scientific journals. Currently, the OJS (Open Journal System) software developed by the Public Knowledge Project, allows the administration and publication of scientific journals, managing all stages of journal production, from submitting an article to its subsequent indexing and publication. It is an open source software so it can be modified according to the interests of the scientific journal, it establishes the different roles within the editing process such as that of manager, editor, proofreaders, reviewers, readers, authors, subscription managers, among others, and also, offers the possibility of modifying its interface according to the theme of the magazine, creating friendly environments for both authors and readers. The objective of this work is to analyze the contribution of the OJS software for the management of the scientific journals of the National University of Salta, establishing new ways to communicate and disseminate scientific production digitally. The work methodology will consist of tracking the scientific journals produced at the National University of Salta that are using this digital platform and from there, determine which contributions / contributions this software provided in each case.

The internationalization of the journal El Profesional de la Información (EPI) is analyzed in 2013-2018, through the evaluation of the publications corresponding to this period with the SciMAT science mapping software. The data of the authors, organizations and countries that have published in the journal in the 2013-2018 period are analyzed.

A strategy for publishing social media content for academic journals, based on content marketing, content curation and a social media content plan, is presented. The example of the journal El profesional de la información (EPI) is shown and advice on how to tweet is offered.

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 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.

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

After 350 years of the discovery of scientific journals former, the area of scientific communication accompanied the global transformation of related information technology to periodicals, blunting considerably in public institutions such as universities. So you can see that the electronic journals alone already operate major changes in research environments, building a link between practice and theory in scientific articles referenced. This paper aims to present the criteria and methodological procedures that were used to build the Portal of Scientific Journals Electronics (PPEC) at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) throughout the life of its 50 years of creation. In consonance of this implantation the PPEC had great results as the participation in the Brazilian Network of Digital Preservation Cariniana, being full partner network, acquisition of DOI for all journals linked to the Portal, and recognition as a portal for indexing by having the OAI -PMH, the freshmen publications of the University Portal.

An overview of the situation of Spanish Communication journals in 2016 is presented, showing some characteristics such as the type of publisher, language of publication, the form of access and their presence in quality and impact indexes such as JCR, ESCI, SJR, Google Scholar h index, MIAR, CIRC and Latindex, with final evaluations regarding future challenges.

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.

New Information and Communication Technologies and the Internet in particular have arisen a lot of changes in how we communicate and disseminate knowledge. One of the areas where there have been many obvious changes would be in the Science Communication . Scientific Journals, together with academic conferences being one of its pillars, have probably received most of the pressure to change due to the new reality. Scientific journals , 350 years after its beginnings, and given also the crisis of the 80s , are into a strong discussion about its continuity , its business model, but also of spreading . Beyond the economic and scientific journals the adaptation to the Internet, and also beyond the debate on peer review as a quality model , one of the most important aspects for research , according to our point of view, is the added value of the magazines , both articles and the authors themselves. Thus , we studied the accessibility of content, something that is broader than Open Access. The ability to find and manage this content will also depend on the way in which they are produced and presented . It is intended , therefore, to define and study several parameters to establish the degree of accessibility of the contents of scientific journals . The areas of study were scientific journals in the field of Information and Documentation (according CARHUS ) compared to other areas , such as Science and Technology , Medicine and other social sciences. A quantitative approach is conducted to research and analysis on various parameters of four concentric levels of study: site publishers, journals , scientific articles , bibliography . Another focus of study would be the feasibility of formulating a degree of accessibility as a standard of quality.

This presentation discuss some results of the project “Open Access (OA) and Academic Assessment. Researchers who serve in academic assessment committees" knowledge and opinions regarding open access publishing in Argentina, Brazil and México”.

Nowadays, due to the exponential development of the information and communication technologies, scientific journals in electronic format are an information channel increasingly used by researchers on a global scale. Considering the potential of these journals it stands out the quick access to information, an international comparison of results and knowledge and a decrease of the cycle and the time of publication. n this context, this study was mainly focused on the study of the use of electronic journals by teachers / researchers from the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), more particularly the needs and practices in the context of two departments (Department of Chemical Engineering (DEQ) and Department of Informatics Engineering (DEI)) that have distinct characteristics in terms of the use and publication in journals. To address this problem it has been taken into account aspects related to information behavior and scientific communication, as well as a characterization of electronic journals, with regard to their evolution, advantages/disadvantages and the underpinning main models. Thus, we carried out a study on the use of electronic journals by the community of teachers / researchers of the two mentioned departments based on interviews conducted with their respective directors. The results analysis has shown that there are differences between departments, with the DEQ showing clear advantage in terms of use of this information channel over the DEI. However, both directors reported that electronic journals meet the information needs of its users. According to the perception of the director of DEI there is recently an increasing use of electronic journals by the members of DEI which probably will soon reduce the differences found between the studied departments.
