Transformative Agreement Signed Between The Microbiology Society And Four Canadian Consortia

The Microbiology Society and four academic consortia across Canada are pleased to announce a three-year transformative agreement starting in 2022.

The Society’s Publish and Read model will allow affiliated researchers to publish an unlimited number of Open Access (OA) articles in hybrid and fully OA titles, as well as having full read access across the portfolio. 15 institutions have initially opted in to the deal signed by the four consortia:

  • The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL)
  • The Bureau de coopération interuniversitaire (BCI)
  • The Council of Atlantic University Libraries – Conseil des bibliothèques universitaires de l’Atlantique (CAUL-CBUA)
  • The Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL)

Vivian Stieda, Executive Director, COPPUL:

“The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries is very pleased to be part of this historic agreement. We celebrate the success of working with the Microbiology Society to support our strategic priority to advance open and sustainable access.”

Peter Cotgreave, Chief Executive of the Microbiology Society:

“Support for the Society’s move to OA from the four Canadian consortia, who have come together in this coordinated initiative, helps and encourages us to drive forward our mission to transform our portfolio as quickly as possible. We are delighted that our OA strategy and journey aligns with that of our customers and that this deal will work to benefit Canadian research.”

The number of institutions worldwide under the Society’s Publish and Read agreements has more than doubled year on year since 2020, accelerating the pace of change to an Open Access future. The Society’s publishing representative in the region, Accucoms, helped broker the arrangement, the first consortia transformative agreement signed in North America, and a blueprint for more.

Affiliated authors with Publish and Read Institutions are entitled to:

  • Unlimited OA publishing: any article published in Society journals where the corresponding author is from a Publish and Read institution will be OA by default.
  • Unlimited usage: any user associated with a Publish and Read institution can access the entire archive of Society content, back to 1947, for reading and for text and data mining.

Authors can check if their institution is eligible on our journals plaform.

Publish and Read will be across all the Society’s six journals, including hybrid titles Microbiology, Journal of General Virology, Journal of Medical Microbiology, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, and fully OA titles Access Microbiology, Microbial Genomics.

IOP Publishing first physics publisher to launch portfolio-wide transparent peer review on its OA journals 

IOP Publishing (IOPP) is moving all its open access (OA) journals to transparent peer review, making it the first physics publisher to adopt the approach portfolio-wide. 

Transparent peer review involves publication of the complete peer review process, from initial review to final decision. This means that alongside the published article, readers can see a full peer review history, including reviewer reports, editor decision letters and the authors’ responses. Making this process visible to the community increases accountability and allows reviewers to be recognised more for their hard work.  
 
Marc Gillett, head of publishing operations at IOPP says: “With this exciting new development we will bring greater transparency to research published in IOP Publishing journals and increase the quality of the peer review process whilst aiding teaching of best practice in peer review.” 

The launch follows a one-year trial in which authors and reviewers were given the choice to opt in or out of displaying their reviewer reports alongside the published article in three IOPP journals. Since then, IOPP has extended this choice to more than 50% of all IOPP’s OA journals. About half of all authors publishing open access with IOPP choose to disclose reviewer reports showing a positive stance toward this relatively new way of disclosing scholarly information. 

Transparent peer review complements double anonymous peer review, where the identity of authors and reviewers is concealed, which IOPP also offers throughout its entire portfolio. The difference is that double anonymous peer review is applied before publication, and transparent review is delivered post-publication. Together these two processes complement each other, allowing for maximum objectivity during the review process, and maximum transparency after publication. 

To ensure a smooth implementation that will enable transparent peer review at scale, IOPP has partnered with Publons to introduce a new solution based on ScholarOne technology. The transparent peer review option will be made available for authors and reviewers publishing in any of IOPP’s OA journals from the 1st of February 2022. 

ConTech Pharma- Delivering successful FAIR data projects 1st and 2nd March 2022

ConTech Pharma is looking to understand examples of how FAIR data projects have successfully delivered; what challenges have been identified and perhaps overcome; and how can collaborative initiatives address and overcome challenges in a systematic manner. 

Examples of successful projects can describe, in essence, how a research hypothesis was able to be tested, based on data that came from multiple sources and was able to be gathered by virtue of the FAIR data principles (and data archived on that basis). 

Challenges are often not obvious. In many cases the challenges are not technical ones, but often social ones related to building up trust and persuading people to devote their valuable time in ways that align with building systems and using data based on these protocols. 

The wider challenge is finding ways to set up initiatives to facilitate FAIR data principles at scale. To ensure that new data is created fresh with these principles in mind, rather than having to be translated retrospectively.

Day 1 – an expert programme of speakers delivering describing the challenges, the initiatives and successful implementation

Day 2 – interactive workshops creating important takeaways for FAIR data project implementation

And more – all delegates will receive links and benchmark articles on FAIR prior to the event

100% online all speaker sessions will be available to registered delegates for post event

Be involved in this important event – Take the opportunity to hear from experts with the experience of undertaking digital transformation with FAIR data; ask questions and then take part in an online workshop to discuss and build a network of likeminded professionals seeking to achieve the same results that you are.

If you are a publisher, content strategist or curator, R & D scientist, pharma or digital healthcare professional it’s time to register for this event – early bird registration extended until January

Kudos and Impact Science expand successful public engagement model and launch COVID Knowledge Cooperative

Kudos and Impact Science have announced the launch of the COVID Knowledge Cooperative, a cross-publisher initiative to help broader audiences find, understand and act on research relating to COVID-19, coronaviruses and other infectious and respiratory diseases. Launch partners include the American Association for Cancer Research, American Chemical Society, De Gruyter, Hindawi, SAGE, University of Toronto Press and Wolters Kluwer. Together they will nominate key content to be explained in plain language, and promoted through a single ‘magazine-style’ website.

“Having launched our first Knowledge Cooperative in late 2021, the scale of uptake – both by publishers and by audiences – has exceeded all our expectations,” says Charlie Rapple, Chief Customer Officer at Kudos. “By combining attractive showcases and easy-read summaries with best-in-class PR and marketing, we’ve been able to build and engage a much broader, global readership for critical research. I’m excited about applying that proven formula to pandemic research.”

“‘Our collaboration with Kudos and these leading publishers will help ensure essential COVID information is made more accessible and equip people to counter misinformation,” adds Nikesh Gosalia, Senior Vice President – Global Academic & Publisher Relations at CACTUS. “It’s an important initiative and we’re proud to be at the forefront.”

“From physical distancing to vaccine use to school closures to tackling misinformation, COVID-19 has demonstrated that social and behavioral science is pivotal in helping society tackle infectious disease,” says Bob Howard, SVP Research from SAGE. “When it comes to building public understanding of scientists’ recommendations, crafting smart policy, and making other societal and behavioral changes, it makes sense for publishers to work together and provide a central route to trustworthy information. We’re pleased to be taking a lead in this important partnership by providing the latest medical research related to the virus as well as top social and behavioral research published by SAGE.”

“With the pandemic having touched every aspect of society, we have felt a responsibility to respond with the timely publication of critical research on COVID-19 from a range of perspectives – from the humanitarian implications to the economic effect, to employment policy, or domestic violence,” says Antonia Pop, Vice President at University of Toronto Press. “We are very pleased to participate in this important initiative and help a broader audience find and engage with this essential material.”

“The mission of the ACS is to improve people’s lives through the power of chemistry, and this initiative is an excellent opportunity to fulfill that mandate,” says Sarah Tegen, Ph.D., Senior Vice President, Journals Publishing Group at ACS. “The research articles published in ACS’s more than 75 leading chemistry journals describe science that is critical in the fight against the COVID pandemic, and I look forward to seeing how this partnership aids in expanding public knowledge about scientific breakthroughs.”

“Advancing openness in research communication and enhancing knowledge discovery is at the very core of what we do, and COVID has emphasized the need for greater collaboration within the scholarly publishing community for the benefit of society,” says Mathias Astell, Chief Journal Development Officer, Hindawi, “So, we are pleased to support this initiative and look forward to working with our publishing colleagues, authors and editors to leverage the power of cross-publisher collaboration in maximizing the impact of knowledge sharing on society at large.”

The initiative builds on the success of the Climate Change Knowledge Cooperative, launched in September 2021. That first program continues to grow, with now over 20 sponsors from the scholarly publishing and communication sector. The content showcase is proving particularly effective at driving awareness, interest and engagement with non-academic audiences such as the media, policy makers and industry. An ongoing PR and marketing campaign is delivering mainstream media coverage and substantial traffic from social media platforms. The COVID Knowledge Cooperative will closely follow this proven model, which also includes a research element to provide sponsors with strategic insights about broader audiences’ information needs, behaviours and expectations.

Microbiology Society’s founding journal announces Open Access transformation in its 75th year

As the Microbiology Society’s founding journal, Microbiology, begins its milestone 75th year, the Council of the Microbiology Society is delighted to announce that Microbiology will be the first in the Society’s journal portfolio to transition from a hybrid model to fully Open Access. The transition to Gold Open Access will happen in 2023 and follows two years of unprecedented growth in the proportion of Open Access articles published in the journal, particularly following the introduction of a new Publish and Read licence in 2020.

In 2022, the Society has for a second year doubled the number of institutions benefiting from Publish and Read. It anticipates that this will result in another significant uplift in the proportion of Open Access articles in the journal in 2022, its last hybrid year. Whilst Microbiology is not formally in cOAlition S’s Transformative Journal status, the Society has benchmarked growth and achieved 15% absolute and 52% relative Open Access growth in 2021.

Originally titled Journal of General Microbiology, the Society launched its first journal in 1947, publishing papers across fundamental microbiology and bringing microbiologists together into a broad scientific community. The journal today reflects the diversity and importance of microbiology in addressing current global challenges, such as food security, environmental sustainability, and health.

During its 75 year history, the landscape of microbiology research has changed dramatically and the profile of publications, authors, and research topics in Microbiology has changed with it. The early years of the journal saw a number of significant publications on improved methods for the isolation and characterization of microbes, and bacterial classification was the subject of many major articles. In 1953 the emerging field of bacterial genetics was showcased and insights into the mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis were covered in depth by many authors. Microbiology has seen the first descriptions of important microbes while in the 1990s, the rise of molecular methods fundamentally altered approaches to typing and differentiation of bacteria. Moving into the 21st century, the journal suggested that the CRISPR locus was involved in resistance to phage attack via antisense RNA inhibition of phage gene expression, since confirmed. Today Microbiology has published over 20,000 articles from authors across the world and, as we look to the future, publishing high-quality, rigorously reviewed articles will remain at the core of the journal.

Gavin Thomas, Editor-in-Chief said: “The future for Microbiology must be a strong journal that people want to publish in and the benefit for that is manifold – both to members of the Society and also the community more generally. That’s really what I hope we’ll be able to see as we transition to Open Access and lead as an Open Access journal.”

Tracy Palmer, Deputy Editor-in-Chief said: “Microbiology will be the first journal in the Microbiology Society stable to [change from paywalled to] become fully Open Access and I

Clarivate Launches New Global Research Report on Managing Academic Publication Credit in a Collaborative World

Clarivate Plc, a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today released a new report from the company’s Institute for Scientific Information™ which proposes a new method for analyzing the credit authors of academic papers receive via citations.  

Across the research landscape, receipt of credit via the citation of sources influences motivation and reputation. Credit for publishing academic research often affects employment, promotion and funding at the individual level, as well as funding and decision making for academic research institutions and nations.

In an increasingly global and collaborative world, where the number of articles naming dozens or even hundreds of researchers as authors is rapidly increasing, the need for informed, data-driven analysis on credit that works across research disciplines and regions is essential. However, existing methods for analyzing credit can become distorted by exceptionally high author counts. 

Making it count: Research credit management in a collaborative world proposes a new indicator, the ‘Collaborative CNCI’ (Collab-CNCI) as one possible solution.

Jonathan Adams, Chief Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Information said: “This new indicator is a vital innovation for the 21st Century, as international collaboration becomes a dominant feature of global research. In studying existing and innovative analytical methods we aim to help the global research community deliver more, better research, and we believe that improving the system of credit with an indicator such as Collab-CNCI would help accurately acknowledge research achievement and excellence- to accelerate the pace of innovation.”

The report not only confirms that highly collaborative papers can distort summary results at a national and institutional level – but also shows how that happens. It highlights key aspects of achievement and shows where institutions generate significant academic credit from citations to their more domestic papers.

Collab-CNCI complements the already existing Category Normalized Citation Impact indicator created by CWTS at Leiden University. But the accumulated citation count for each paper is normalized against other papers of the same publication year, the same subject category, the same document type and – critically – the same collaboration type. 

Ludo Waltman, Professor of Quantitative Science Studies at the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), Leiden University said: “The increasing level of collaboration in global science raises challenging questions concerning the design and interpretation of bibliometric indicators. Developing a better understanding of the complex interplay between scientific collaboration and citation impact is absolutely essential. I welcome the contribution from the Institute for Scientific Information, part of Clarivate to address this difficult issue.”

The Institute for Scientific Information invites research users and managers to comment on the relative benefits of the Collab-CNCI in comparison and as a complement to other methods for enabling balanced and timely decisions at the individual, institutional and national levels. Please send all feedback to ISI@clarivate.com.

Bloomsbury – Trading ahead of expectations

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (LSE: BMY), the leading independent publisher, today gives a pre-year end trading update for the 12 months ending 28 February 2022.

Bloomsbury is pleased to announce that revenue is expected to be comfortably ahead and profit materially ahead of market expectations* for the year ending 28 February 2022. 

Trading continued to be strong in the Consumer division, for both Adult and Children’s publishing.

A major milestone has been hit by Bloomsbury Digital Resources (“BDR”). We are delighted to announce that on 18 January 2022, we achieved the goal announced in May 2016 that we would create the BDR division which would generate £15 million of sales and £5 million of profit by the year ending 28 February 2022. Six years later we have done exactly that. Achieving this key long-term strategic goal, building high margin, quality revenues, demonstrates the strength and successful execution of our digital strategy.

BDR will benefit from the addition of further digital resources from the acquisition of ABC-CLIO LLC (“ABC-CLIO”). As previously announced, Bloomsbury completed the purchase of ABC-CLIO on 16 December 2021, for £17.3 million in cash. ABC-CLIO is an established academic publisher of reference, nonfiction, online curriculum and professional development materials in both print and digital formats for schools, academic libraries and public libraries, primarily in the USA. This acquisition is an excellent strategic fit with BDR and significantly accelerates the growth of Bloomsbury’s academic publishing in North America.

We will provide an update with our preliminary results in May 2022.

* The Board considers that the consensus market expectation for the year ending 28 February 2022 is currently revenue of £197.1 million and profit before taxation and highlighted items of £2

IOP Publishing and the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology announce three-year unlimited OA publishing agreement 

Not-for-profit society publisher IOP Publishing (IOPP) and TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology have established a consortium agreement which enables researchers at participating German institutions to publish unlimited articles on an open access (OA) basis in 56 hybrid and 15 fully open access (OA) journals.   

The three-year transformative agreement brings the price of publishing services and reading access together in one central fee, eliminating any author-facing charges for OA publication in the eligible journals.   

This is IOPP’s largest agreement combining unlimited publishing with the inclusion of most of IOPP’s journal portfolio. It is expected that under the agreement over 1800 articles will be published OA by researchers affiliated with German institutions in the next three years.   

Another improvement is the addition of administrative support for the 70 participating institutions. Identification of all qualifying articles will be executed by IOPP taking away the time-consuming process of validating papers or other barriers. 

This progressive deal expands on the Institutional Research License (IRL) 2019-2021, under which nearly 700 articles have been published by affiliated authors on a hybrid open access basis.   

Julian Wilson, sales and marketing director at IOP Publishing comments: “With the growing appetite for OA, this new contract offers eligible authors unlimited OA publishing. By removing the cap on the number of articles that can be published OA we give academics more certainty that their paper will be published OA when considering where and when to submit their work.”  

TIB’s deputy director and head of library operations, Dr. Irina Sens states: “We are delighted to have struck this deal with IOPP giving researchers at participating German institutions more choice as to where to publish their work OA whilst reducing the administrative burden for library staff. We are happy to continue the successful cooperation of previous years with IOPP and appreciate IOPP’s commitment to a stronger transformation of their journal content. By allowing unlimited OA publishing in both hybrid and Gold OA journals under a CC BY licence, this agreement will hopefully constitute a significant step towards more freely available information in the field of physics.”
