Developing an effective method for recording the data produced, sharing it, and preserving it are essential tasks of the archaeological profession. Although international and national rules are in place, archiving archaeological data is often left to the discretion of the archaeologist in charge of the excavation. It is essential that data management be developed in accordance with the FAIR principles to make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (hence the acronym FAIR). Granting agencies, such as the European Research Council and several National Research Funds, require a data management plan as soon as applications for project contributions are submitted. The plan is intended to promote the use of datasets by specifying the standards that will be used to organize the data and metadata and the digital repositories where they will be kept. The plan is also used to define permissions for access to the dataset. From this perspective, archaeologists are expected to make excavation data accessible and interoperable in accordance with the rules specific to their research domain. The purpose of this article is to review the application of FAIR principles in data management plans developed by archaeological projects. First, we will describe the steps necessary to publish archaeological information on the Semantic Web, then we will examine the laws and standards for archiving archaeological data, and then we will review the most commonly used archival systems in the field. In the final section of the article, we will discuss the topic of the data management plan and propose best practices to follow in developing an archaeological data management plan. The set of practices presented will be useful to researchers in managing the life cycle of data from archaeological research.

It is intended to analyze the work of the poet and writer Julio Llamazares, one of the best Leonese writers, with a proposal for the creation and development of a digital library that serves to publicize his work and disseminate it even more.

This article describes the collaborative experience of G8 Library Group of Medellin City in the elaboration of the Technical Matrix for the assessment of Bibliographic Databases and digital resources. Its purpose is serving as a reference to other institutions of the same nature. It is highlighted the importance of having a permanent and systematic evaluation too for decision making regarding the subscription or purchasing of digital resources, bibliographic databases, discoverers and statistical software. The Matrix categories and its reference value are established on 100 points: Search (20), Access (15), Utilities and tools (15), Administration module (10) and Interface (5). In turn, factors and categories with their respective assigned scores are derived from these categories, to later assign the grade and finally obtain the total score for the bibliographicdatabase. Likewise, qualitative information of the evaluation is included. This provides an executive summary of the evaluation with decisive information in the decision making process about bibliographic databases in libraries.

The purpose of this work is to study the capability of CiteSpace to analyze a complex and multidisciplinary field such as Biomedical Engineering (BME) Research question: Is CiteSpace a proper analytical tool to determine the formation of topical clusters for a large and complex area such as Biomedical Engineering?

Trabajo de Fin de Grado de Información y Documentación, curso 2019-2020., El presente estudio trata de uno de los proyectos más novedosos de la Fundación Wikimedia: la Wikidata. Wikidata es una base de datos colaborativa que dispone de herramientas de consulta que son usadas profusamente como mecanismo para la obtención de datos, de relación con otros datos, y de enriquecimiento de información y conocimiento. Este estudio se ha centrado en conocer el estado de la cuestión sobre aspectos generales de Wikidata (su funcionamiento, su organización, cómo se alimenta de datos, etc.), además de analizar el enriquecimiento semántico desde y hacia Wikidata desde bibliotecas y archivos. También se ha analizado la relación entre Wikidata y DBpedia. Se incluyen estudios que utilizan estas dos herramientas en relación con su potencial de enriquecimiento semántico en bibliotecas y entornos educativos. También se incluyen recomendaciones que permitan mejorar Wikidata, desde el punto de vista de los artículos, su procedencia, las restricciones que pueden realizar y el propio enriquecimiento semántico., This study deals with one of the Wikimedia Foundation's newest projects: Wikidata. Wikidata is a collaborative database that has consultation tools that are used extensively as a mechanism to obtain data, to relate to other data, and to enrich information and knowledge. This study has focused on knowing the state of the question on general aspects of Wikidata (its functioning, its organization, how it is fed with data, etc.), as well as analyzing the semantic enrichment from and to Wikidata from libraries and archives. The relationship between Wikidata and DBpedia has also been analysed. Studies using these two tools are included in relation to their potential for semantic enrichment in libraries and educational environments. Recommendations are also included to improve Wikidata, from the point of view of the articles, their origin, the restrictions they can perform and the semantic enrichment itself.

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the visibility profile in databases of what is called the basic core of Social Sciences and humanities Mexican journals.

The terms disinformation and fake news are relatively contemporary. BRAPCI is a base with productions focused on Information Science. Excerpts from academic productions, comprised in the period of records in the database from 2000 to 2019, show that the authors have been addressing at least one of the terms. Therefore, there would already be something consolidated: definition, mediation, contingency, etc. On the other hand, these relationships can influence the career of the future Information Manager graduated from UFPE. However, the aim is to: identify the documents (productions) in the database, through a direct search expression using the terms: (disinformation) and (fake news); identify the productions in BRAPCI; find definitions of terms; check the frequency of use of terms; and, present them with quotations, tables, charts and graphs. Therefore, the methodology consisted of exploratory bibliographical research supported by bibliometric inferences. Therefore, promote academic and professional debate on the eventual use of such terms. Some conclusions were reached: 1. the term fake news was recovered from the year 2017; 2. the terms take extraordinary forms and dimensions, conditioned to the actions: production, communication and social flow of information. ‘Use’ is the only less technological part, as it largely stems from human cognition. Finally, it is understood that the Information Manager must interact with the appropriate Information Competence.

The studies on ethics in Knowledge Organization are in constant development. An effective way of verifying their importance as a research subject is to examine their representation in databases. The present paper builds upon previous research developed by Martínez-Ávila et al. (2015) and analyzes the literature on the topic that is indexed by two databases widely used in Library & Information Science: KO Literature and Scopus. Our search for the terms "ethics" and "ethical" retrieved a total of 54 articles. Among the result we highlight the ISKO journal Knowledge Organization journal as the most frequent source and a group of 11 authors that stand out as the most productive ones. We also conducted a content analysis to identify the ethical values that are present in the corpus, the methodologies and theories that are used in the papers, and the main knowledge organization processes and tools of knowledge that object of research. In conclusion, we point out the KO Literature database as an effective database for the retrieval of documents on this topic, although still presenting some shortcomings.

Understanding the evolution of the scientific and technological development of a country is extremely important, given that it makes it possible to identify how historically the progress of research in the various areas of knowledge has evolved. In addition, such an understanding allows the identification of the main topics of research, the profile of the researchers, and their scientific collaborations, which can serve as a basis for various policies to promote scientific research. According to several studies digital journals have been growing since the last decade. It can be said that journals in all areas of knowledge have the role of being a filter for the recognition of the works that have been accepted. Despite the many benefits open access journals provide, there is a need for a joint effort to ensure that the main element of the whole process, scientific information, is accessible to all concerned. To this end, some initiatives have already been undertaken, such as the creation of digital repositories to store and organize scientific literature in accordance with international standards of interoperability, and the search for awareness of the main actors involved in the process of producing, publishing and evaluating scientific information to make such content available in digital open-access environments to the general public. In this way, understanding how the publications of a certain set of researchers are being carried out in open access journals allows us to identify a panorama of the current state of this type of communication in Brazil, and also to verify if in certain areas of knowledge, this type of publication tends to be more frequent. Therefore, this work aims to analyze how the Brazilian scientific community is composed of the results of their research in open access journals. For that, all curricula registered in the Lattes Platform of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development - CNPq were analyzed.

In the current context of changes in the scientific making that puts research data in the vogue as essential inputs to the advancement of science, to promote and develop appropriate systems and skills for data management that are aligned with disciplinary specificities, best practices, international standards and requirements become a complex challenge for global research information infrastructures. Considering the longevity and specificity of the data life cycle that begins before data generation / collection - since its genesis lies in conceptualization and planning - and continues even after the data collections are archived for the long-term preservation it is clear that life cycle procedures are more numerous and complicated than the procedures required for the management of conventional academic journals such as periodicals and books. Thus, in order to ensure effective management of research data collections, the essential requirement is that it be carried out through platforms that ensure technological and managerial infrastructure, long-term economic and political sustainability, and that are capable of providing disciplinary services and a collaborative space for researchers. These systems play a dual role: they are configured as information systems that support researchers in the publication, preservation and dissemination of their own collections of data; and, at the same time, are critical tools for the discovery and access to data collections of other researchers, enabling reuse and promoting interdisciplinary research. Evaluating collaborative data management platforms requires considering a large number of technical, managerial, and organizational parameters. As a contribution to the composition of an evaluation model of collaborative research data platforms, the present work presents a systematization of the main items that must be considered in the generation of metrics that can be applied to these systems. This systematization focuses on the services that can be offered by the data management platforms and classifies the items to be evaluated in four categories: information services, computer services, laboratory services and short-term, political and administrative services. From the systematization and definition of these items it is expected that the work can be useful for understanding the items that must be observed both in the construction of research data management platforms and in the evaluation of already existing platforms.

Presentation used for a practical workshop on information literacy adressed to high-school students.

Περιέχει το πλήρες κείμενο. Digital Humanities lie at the crossroads between technology and humanistic research. Contemporary technological advances significantly open up new avenues for humanities study and new ways to utilize the output of humanities endeavors for the communities that benefit from it, be it communities of practice, the education system, citizen scientists and society overall. The following article describes the development cycle of a new cloud service the Greek National Documentation Centre (EKT) offers to the domestic cultural and science organisations. The National Documentation Centre (EKT) is one of the most important digital content stakeholders in Greece, facilitating Humanities research through robust e-infrastructures and widening access to digital collections. The article describes the Digital Repository Service development from planning to delivery, describes the various components of the service and addresses the issues of engaging with the community of users to address their documentation needs and preferences. As part of designing the service and workflows, a survey was conducted in the GLAM sector organisations in Greece, in order to assess user needs and understanding of new and emerging technologies, as well as discern possible volume of digital content. Extensive literature and similar trends review took place and it was funneled into designing the documentation strategy used for the Repositories. The accompanying suit of services was developed (eLearning, eKnowledgeBase) and the project rolled out initially with some pilots, then managed to create 28 repositories with rich, varied content. The Repository Service was developed through national and EU funding during 2012-2015 and aims to support knowledge producers (in the fields of culture, education, science and research) to organize, document and disseminate their content on an open access basis. Overarching goal of the project was to aggregate quality science and cultural content and disseminate through search portals and aggregators such as Europeana.

This analysis addresses the Selfie phenomenon it is a new photographic manifestation after the cell phone was propag, the limited interest in the materialization of the images is observed. This imaginary manifestation was observed in this essay, someones modern theorists and a film of the year 1995 have been taking as reference. This short reflection appeals to the need to materialize the photographs because now we lives in a variable time.

[ES] La contratación pública en España representa alrededor de un 20% del Producto Interior Bruto del país. Las grandes cantidades de dinero que se mueven en este ámbito y la creciente preocupación social por conocer en qué se invierte el dinero público obliga a las administraciones a adoptar medidas en materia de transparencia y de apertura de datos públicos. Es, en este perfil, en el que se enmarca el presente trabajo, por un lado, ¿la ciudadanía conoce hasta qué punto es transparente la administración pública?, y por otro lado, ¿la administración conoce cuáles son las características óptimas para cada contrato? Los obstáculos para poder comparar este tipo de información se cifran en la falta de concreción de los datos de los portales de contratación, las distintas categorizaciones, la pluralidad normativa y, en definitiva, la dificultad de acceso a la información. La información de las licitaciones se encuentra, en su mayoría, publicada en los diferentes portales de contratación de las Comunidades Autónomas, además del portal nacional de contratos del sector públicos. Aun así, subsiste una gran dificultad de acceso y comprensión. Estas evidencias demuestran que el desarrollo de este proyecto va a ser relevante para el público al que se dirige. En una apuesta por la transparencia de las Administraciones Públicas, la reutilización de los datos de licitaciones y contratos del sector público y la mejora del acceso a la información por parte de la ciudadanía se propone la creación de una herramienta tecnológica capaz de realizar comparaciones entre los contratos del sector público y hallar las relaciones existentes. Un avance de este proyecto fue presentado a "Desafío Aporta 2017: El valor del dato para la Administración” siendo seleccionado como uno de los diez finalistas en la Fase I de entre los 45 proyectos presentados. La Fase II del Desafío se llevará a cabo en el mes de octubre de este mismo año., [EN] Public procurement in Spain accounts for about 20% of the country's Gross Domestic Product. The large amounts of money that are moving in this area and the growing social concern about knowing what the public money is invested forces administrations to adopt measures on transparency and openness of public data. It is in this profile, in which this work is framed, on the one hand, does the public know how transparent the public administration is, and on the other hand, the administration knows what the optimal characteristics for each contract ? The obstacles to comparing this type of information are based on the lack of details of the contracting portals, the different categorizations, the normative plurality and, in short, the difficulty of access to information. The information of the tenders is mostly published in the different portals of contracting of the Autonomous Communities, in addition to the national portal of public sector contracts. Even so, there remains a great difficulty of access and understanding. These evidences demonstrate that the development of this project will be relevant for the target audience. In a bid for the transparency of public administrations, the re-use of bidding data and public sector contracts and the improvement of access to information by citizens, proposes the creation of a technological tool capable of making comparisons between contracts and find the existing relationships. An advance of this project was presented to "Challenges Contribute 2017: The value of the data for the Administration" being selected as one of the ten finalists in Phase I of the 45 projects presented. Phase II of the Challenge will be held in the month of October of this same year.

The high positions are the political base of the public administration in our country. The citizen knows them fundamentally, through the means, but this image provides a fragmented vision. The websites of the administration offer complete information about them and their competencies, but as a snapshot, of the corresponding legislature. So where is the map of the political power of an administration throughout its history? Nowhere. The dispersion of this information, so significant, and the lack of understanding may be acting to the detriment of the transparency of governments. The interest of the citizens in the politics and in the actions of the politicians supposes a social change in which the maximum is the transparency and the accessibility to the information of public character in a clear and organized form. The project proposes to build an automated methodology and a prototype of a graph based on this information from unstructured sources that is useful for citizenship and administration in order to relate and organize the information of the Generalitat Valenciana. The model with the data that support it will be released for later reuse and adaptation to other administrations.

This chapter analyses the presence of Spanish scientific journals in the main international databases (Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ and other multidisciplinary databases), with a special focus on distribution by subject matter. This was achieved using the records and tools of the MIAR database (Information Matrix for the Analysis of Journals), and the content was limited to a total of 3,382 Spanish journals published in January 2017. The presence of Spanish journals in the most selective WoS indices (SCI, SSCI and AHCI) is clearly strongest in the SCI index, in which more than 10% of journals in eight disciplines are indexed and mathematics plays a particularly significant role, along with chemistry, geology and industrial engineering, electronics and telecommunications. Spanish journals feature considerably more often in Scopus than in WoS, and those that are indexed in Scopus encompass a wider range of disciplines, notably veterinary medicine and mathematics, with over 50% of the journals in these fields, as well as areas such as civil engineering, medical sciences, chemistry and geology. The penetration of open access among Spanish journals revealed by the DOAJ directory demonstrates that some disciplines have seen a remarkable rise in the use of OA in their journals, as in the case of architecture and urban planning, industrial engineering, electronics and telecommunications, and computer science, while it has a very weak presence in other disciplines, including law and medical and health sciences.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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 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 this paper is to present new open tool for building bibliographic databases. SINUS system, developed by Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Center, was initially created to fulfill the needs related to management of scientific publications of Poznań University of Technology staff. In the paper we present basic functional assumptions of the system, its current functionality and future development directions.

Mahatma Gandhi University central library has established an SSH-based Virtual Private Network (VPN) to share information resources with libraries located outside the campus. Off-Campus libraries of Mahatma Gandhi University are extensively using by faculty members and research scholars from affiliated colleges. An SSH protocol based encrypted communication tunnel is the main component of VPN service. Open Source software and standards have adopted to reduce total cost ownership of the system. Mahatma Gandhi University Library VPN service ensures seamless access to online resources to the academic community away from the main campus through Off-Campus libraries.

Information technologies are a fundamental part today within a library or information center, with the passage of time these centers or libraries must make use of these tools and resort to updating methods in order to maintain an optimal level in its heritage and increase the scope of information produced worldwide, this is thanks to the adaptation of information and communication technologies. The information centers make use of this important tool since, being for a specific user community, the databases also have special characteristics according to the needs that these users present. The objective of this study is to determine the level of use of digital resources, in this case the databases that are accessed by the agreements maintained by UNAM or those that are open access, this study is carried out carried out at the Library and Information Research Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The most relevant thing in this study will be to be able to identify who are the users (academic technicians or researchers) who make the most use of this information resource and the frequency in the usability of said databases to support themselves in the development of their research activities.

This book analyzes the characteristics of the digital repositories in Latin America for the development of open access. In Latin America, the development of these systems by teaching and research institutions, the so-called institutional repositories, are appointed by scientific literature as a promising area for the fulfillment of the purposes of open access, due to the public source of research funding in the region and also to the very features of institutional repositories. For the development of this study it was conducted a systematic literature review, using literature and documents from Google Scholar and Web of Knowledge databases in order to the elaboration of a theoretical lens about the elements that define open access and features institutional repositories. As a result of this step were defined five selection criteria and eight dimensions of analysis for institutional repositories. The elements were used for the selection, mapping and characterization of 84 institutional repositories, that were selected in the a set of 289 digital repositories. The survey results showed that Latin America has significant advances in the development of institutional repositories, as compared to other regions, but it is still very incipient in programs and policies to promote open access by funding institutions of scientific knowledge production in the region.

Redakcje czasopism coraz częściej podejmują decyzje o udostępnieniu swoich zasobów w otwartym dostępie. Robią to za pomocą strony WWW czasopisma, biblioteki cyfrowej, repozytorium lub też umieszczają artykuły w bazach danych. Bazy danych są jednym z ważniejszych kanałów dostępu do pełnych tekstów zgromadzonych tam czasopism. Celem badania było sprawdzenie jak wygląda dostępność pełnych tekstów w polskich bazach danych oraz zwrócenie uwagi na rolę, jaką pełnią bazy w upowszechnianiu dorobku naukowców. 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 investigation's main subject is based on the collection of periodicals, and other resources such as reference materials and databases which belong to Hemeroteca de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral. These are elements that provide a service of legal reference to which the community of users and investigators have a free access. The work was established upon a normative theoretical framework, international guidelines applied to academic and research libraries, the Conspectus model, circulation and consultation data and opinions from experts based on other works. At local level the contribution of the Methodological Guide of Evaluations of Collections made by Universidad Nacional de La Plata is taken into account. All that was mentioned before allows us to make an analysis of this collection in particular and consequently, to lay foundations on future actions to take part concerning this thematic.

About regulatory decisions which need to increase the number of scientific publications in Ukraine. This text is an expanded version of the report at The IIIrd International Conference on Scientific Communication in the Digital Age was held at the Scientific Library of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy on March 10-12, 2015.

This Unit encompasses and discusses citation analysis, use of citation-based indicators for research evaluation, common bibliometric indicators, classical bibliometric laws, author level indicators using authors’ public profiles, article level metrics using altmetric tools. It is to be noted that author level indicators and article level metrics are new tools for research evaluation. Author level indicators encompasses h index, citations count, i10 index, g index, articles with citation, average citations per article, Eigenfactor® score, impact points, and RG score. Article level metrics or altmetrics are based on Twitter, Facebook, Mendeley, CiteULike, and Delicious which have been discussed. All technical terms used in the Unit have been defined. This Unit discusses in details aspects such as Use of Citation-based Indicators for Research Evaluation; Transition from Citation-based Indicators to Author Level and Article Level Metrics for Research Evaluation.

Researchers, scholars and scientists main business is scholarly communication. We communicate about our work to others, as we push the boundaries of what we know and the society knows. We question established notions and truths about science. We share our findings with others, and in a way that is popularly known as scholarly communication which emerged with the publication of first journal in 1665. However, the term gained popularity only in the 1970s, as access to peer reviewed and scholarly communication became difficult. This module has four units covering introduction to scholarly communication, peer reviewed journals, electronica journals and databases and the Serials Crisis. At the end of this module, the learner is expected to be able to: - Explain philosophy, mission, and objectives of scholarly communication - Describe the process of scholarly communication - Identify different channels of scholarly communication - Discuss the dysfunction of the scholarly communication. In Unit 1, Introduction to scholarly communication, we have discussed different aspects of scholarly communication – particularly its genesis, importance and ethics of academic publishing, and different communication channels available in academic publishing. Some of these channels are commonly described as primary sources as they provide first-hand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under investigation. Historically, scientific journals were initiated by learned societies and other scholarly communities for reporting results of concluded research works or scientific discoveries. Now many for-profit publishers have started publishing research journals. Unit 2, Communicating with Peer Review Journals, covers two important academic publishing channels, namely peer reviewed journals, conferences and their proceedings. This Unit also highlights different methods and procedures of peer reviewing for publishing primary literature emanated from research studies. The peer reviewing is essential for validating quality of research findings conveyed by researchers, which are subject to fulfillment of ethical standards and appropriate research design, sampling and other methodological issues. In Unit 3, Electronic journals and databases, we have discussed the emergence of electronic journals in academic and research environment due to wide proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in research communications and academic publishing. Scientific communities and scientific communications from the global South are getting substantive attentions through adaptation of electronic journals and electronic academic databases in the process of research communications. In Unit 4, the Serials Crisis, we discuss the cost of peer reviewed publications and the problems faced by researchers in developing countries. The focus of this unit is on highlighting the problems and discusses possible solutions including the emergence of open access as one of the solutions. Open access journal publishing helps in mitigating some of the problems associated with serials crisis.

This module dwells on a number of methods (including old and new) available for research evaluation. The module comprises the following four units: Unit 1. Introduction to Research Evaluation Metrics and Related Indicators. Unit 2. Innovations in Measuring Science and Scholarship: Analytical Tools and Indicators in Evaluation Scholarship Communications. Unit 3. Article and Author Level Measurements, and Unit 4. Online Citation and Reference Management Tools. Brief overviews of the units are presented below. Unit 1 encompassed and discussed citation analysis, use of citation-based indicators for research evaluation, common bibliometric indicators, classical bibliometric laws, author level indicators using authors' public profiles, article level metrics using altmetric tools. It is to be noted that author level indicators and article level metrics are new tools for research evaluation. Author level indicators encompasses h index, citations count, i10 index, g index, articles with citation, average citations per article, Eigenfactor score, impact points, and RG score. Article level metrics or altmetrics are based on Twitter, Facebook, Mendeley, CiteULike, and Delicious which have been discussed. All technical terms used in the Unit have been defined. Unit 2 deals with analytical tools and indicators used in evaluating scholarly communications. The tools covered are The Web of Science, Scopus, Indian Citation Index (ICI), CiteSeerX, Google Scholar and Google Scholar Citations. Among these all the tools except Indian Citation Index (ICI) are international in scope. ICI is not very much known outside India. It is a powerful tool as far Indian scholarly literature is concerned. As Indian journals publish a sizable amount of foreign literature, the tool will be useful for foreign countries as well. The analytical products with journal performance metrics Journal Citation Reports (JCR®) has also been described. In the chapter titled New Platforms for Evaluating Scholarly Communications three websites i.e. SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR) [ScimagoJR.com], eigenFACTOR.org, JournalMetrics.com and one software called Publish or Perish (POP) Software have been discussed. Article and author level measurements have been discussed in Unit 3. Author and researcher identifiers are absolutely essential for searching databases in the WWW because a name like D Singh can harbour a number of names such as Dan Singh, Dhan Singh, Dhyan Singh, Darbara Singh, Daulat Singh, Durlabh Singh and more. The ResearcherID.com, launched by Thomson Reuters, is a web-based global registry of authors and researchers that individualises each and every name. Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is also a registry that uniquely identifies an author or researcher. Both have been discussed in this Unit. Article Level Metrics (Altmetrics) has been treated in this Unit with the discussion as to how altmetrics can be measured with Altmetric.com and ImpactStory.org. Altmetrics for Online Journals has also been touched. There are a number of academic social networks of which ResearchGate.net, Academia.edu, GetCited.org, etc. have been discussed. Regional journal networks with bibliometric indicators are also in existence. Two networks of this type such as SciELO – Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Redalyc have been dealt with. The last unit (Unit 4) is on online citation and reference management tools. The tools discussed are Mendeley, CiteULike, Zotero, Google Scholar Library, and EndNote Basic. The features of all the management tools have been discussed with figures, tables, and text boxes.

In Unit 3, Electronic Journals and Databases, author discusses the emergence of electronic journals in academic and research environment due to wide proliferation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in research communications and academic publishing. Scientific communities and scientific communications from the global South are getting substantive attentions through adaptation of electronic journals and electronic academic databases in the process of research communications. This Unit discusses in details aspects such as Emergence of e-Journals, Migration of Peer Reviewed Journals from Print to Online Platforms, and Electronic Databases. Published in the UNESCO Curriculum for Researchers > Module 1: Scholarly Communications > Unit 3: Electronic Journals and Databases.

This is the last Module of the course on Open Access for researchers. So far you have studied about Open Access, its history, advantages, initiatives, copyrights and licensing, evaluation matrix for research – all in the context of scholarly communication. In this Module with just two units, we would like to help you share your work in Open Access though repositories and journals. At the end of this module, you are expected to be able to: - Understand the publication process involved in dissemination of scholarly works; - Choose appropriate Open Access journals and repositories for sharing research results; - Use social media to promote personal research work and build reputation. In Unit 1, we discuss the research publication process at five stages – planning stage, preparing stage, pre-publication stage, publication stage and postpublication stage. We emphasize the importance of social media in sharing and making your work visible to the target groups. In Unit 2, we focus on sharing your research through OA repositories and Journals. First we discussed the different types of repositories to select and highlighted the steps that you may consider including deposit in your own institutional repositories or in global open repositories. We then discuss the sources of finding and deciding on OA journals. This unit also provides guidance on choosing the right OA journals, as the quality of OA journals is often questioned.

Searching for specific pieces of information scattered across multiple articles in the full text literature or other databases, demands computer-based tools to aid the human expert. Such tools must cope with the complexities of natural language(s), be capable of unambiguous recognition of the idiosyncratic gene and other symbols devised by scientists and deal with a variety of other linguistic complications. As part of the response to this challenge, EMBO took the lead to create the E-BioSci network, a scientific information service that will interlink genomic and other factual or image data with the life sciences research literature. The service will be developed together with partners from different research institutions across Europe and will receive financial support from the European Commission for the coming three years. The prototype currently under construction facilitates intelligent searching of full text, document-neighbouring based on semantic content, cross-repository searching and cross-language searching. It permits recognition of gene and protein symbols in full text with an indication of database lookup services available. Future versions will provide graphical representation of semantic relationships between documents and entities retrieved in searches.

English Abstract Open Science aims to provide open access to all items produced within the research process, primarily to text publications, research data and research software. Moreover, Open Science should also bring transparency in moderating processes (such as the assessment and the review of text publications or data) and the production and utilizations of para-informations (as impact metrics). Open Science proponents describe it as a efficient, innovation-friendly and transparent science because open information can be disseminated,reused and re-analyzed more quickly and easily than closed information. The work is based on a multidisciplinary inventory of Open Access to text publications, Open Access to research data, Open Access to research software, Open Review and Open Metrics, all more typically in the STM subjects (Science, Technology, Medicine) to find than in the social sciences or humanities. Based on this synopsis the work is dedicated to the specifics of sociology, which is commonly regarded as a latecomer in the Open Science. It empirically investigates the prevalence and relevance of Open Science, Open Access to text publications, Open Access to research data, Open Access to research software, Open Review and Open Metrics in Sociology.

Überdies soll sie auch Transparenz in wissenschaftliche Arbeit moderierende Prozesse (wie die Begutachtung bzw. den Review von Textpublikationen) und in die Gewinnung von zur Bewertung von Wissenschaft herangezogenen Parainformationen (Impact-Metriken) bringen. Open-Science-Befürworter versprechen sich hiervon eine effizientere, innovationsfreundlichere und transparentere Wissenschaft, denn offene Informationen können schneller und leichter verbreitet und nachgenutzt sowie überprüft werden als nicht-offene. Die Arbeit basiert auf einer fachübergreifenden Bestandsaufnahme der Open-Science-Elemente Open Access zu Textpublikationen, Open Access zu Forschungsdaten, Open Access zu Forschungssoftware, Open Review und Open Metrics, die allesamt typischerweise eher in den STM-Fächern (Science, Technology, Medicine) zu finden sind als in den Sozial- oder Geisteswissenschaften. Ausgehend von dieser Synopse widmet sie sich weitergehend den fachinhärenten Spezifika der Soziologie, die gemeinhin als Nachzüglerin der Open Science betrachtet wird, und untersucht empirisch die Prävalenz und Relevanz von Open Access zu Textpublikationen, Open Access zu Forschungsdaten, Open Access zu Forschungssoftware, Open Review und Open Metrics in der Soziologie.

The movement to share data has been on the rise in the last decade and lately in the agricultural domain. Similarly platforms for publishing scientific and statistical datasets have sprouted and have improved visibility and availability of datasets. Yet there are still constraints in making datasets discoverable and re-usable. Commonly agreed semantics, authority lists to index datasets and standard formats and protocols to expose data are now essential. This paper explains how the CIARD RING provides a global linked data catalog of datasets for agriculture. The first part of this paper will describe the Linked Data layer of the CIARD RING focusing on the data model, semantics used and the CIARD RING LOD publication. The second part will provide examples of re-use of data from the RING. The paper concludes by describing the future steps in the development of the CIARD RING.

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.
