SPARC Europe is embarking on a year-long process to create a broader open agenda by connecting Open Science and Open Education.

July 10, 2024

With 20 years of action in the Open space, SPARC Europe is embarking on a year-long process to create a broader open agenda by connecting Open Science and Open Education. Making this connection has benefits for research, education and society. Through this work, SPARC Europe will help European public universities realise the value of open, equitable and fair access to knowledge for all. SPARC Europe’s new project Connecting the worlds of Open Science and Open Education to increase capacity for an Open Europe makes the case for more integration in the open agenda. It will also let us more effectively support openness in European Higher Education on a policy and practice level.

This project enables our three-phased vision to build an evidence base to raise awareness among university leaders about the advantages of connecting the worlds of open. The project’s three phases involve mapping Open Science and Open Education Higher Education actors across Europe, documenting similarities and differences between Open Science and Open Education and the risks and opportunities involved in connecting them, and laying the groundwork for SPARC Europe’s role as a one-stop shop or information clearinghouse to connect the worlds of Open Science and Open Education in Europe. We will produce a bibliographic reference list, hold a series of interviews with senior university leaders on the Open Agenda, create talking points and design a case for a broader Open Agenda.

We are excited about this work that will take us into the summer of 2025. We are kicking off the activities of this project with two expert consultants, Paul Stacey and Wilma van Wezenbeek, who are coaching, guiding, steering and supporting the SPARC Europe team to build our capacity in this area. This is generously funded with an Organisational Effectiveness Grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, as part of a programme that fosters growth and capacity-building for grantees to be able to meet their strategic goals.

NISO Publishes Recommended Practice for the Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern

July 10, 2024

The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) today announced the publication of the Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern (CREC) Recommended Practice (NISO RP-45-2024). Funding for the CREC Working Group as well as for research at the University of Illinois’ Reducing the Inadvertent Spread of Retracted Science (RISRS) project, which aided Working Group deliberations and decisions, was generously provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Retracted publications are research outputs that have been found to be flawed, unreliable, or otherwise invalidated from the scholarly record. There are a number of reasons why publications may be retracted, but in all cases, correcting the record requires that these decisions be clearly communicated and broadly understood so that the research—whether retracted due to error, misconduct, or fraud—is not propagated. The NISO Recommended Practice establishes best practices for the creation, transfer, and display of retraction-related metadata, ensuring that participants (publishers, aggregators, full-text hosts, libraries, and researchers) can communicate retraction information quickly and enabling readers who discover a publication to readily identify its status.

“With the publication of the CREC Recommended Practice, NISO has taken an important step toward limiting the impact and spread of retracted publications,” stated Caitlin Bakker, Discovery Technologies Librarian at the University of Regina and co-chair of the Working Group. “We thank the Working Group members as well as all those who commented on the draft and helped to ensure that the workflows it outlines address the needs of all interested parties.”

“We’re excited to see the Working Group’s efforts come to fruition,” added Jodi Schneider, Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Principal Investigator for the RISRS II: Research and Development towards the Communication of Retractions, Removals, and Expressions of Concern project. “And we hope that wider adoption of the NISO guidelines will help to build trust in science and in academic research more generally.”

NISO’s Executive Director, Todd Carpenter, stated, “With retractions on the rise, the CREC Recommended Practice represents an important cross-industry effort by libraries, publishers, and vendors to advance research integrity. We are grateful to the Working Group and its co-chairs for leading this project, as well as to the Sloan Foundation for its support.”

Transformative Journals: analysis from the 2023 reports

July 10, 2024

The Transformative Journal (TJ) model was one of the strategies cOAlition S developed to help subscription publishers transition to full and immediate Open Access (OA) in a defined timeframe. This report looks at the data provided by the participating publishers for the calendar year 2023.

2023 data: executive summary

Journals that participate in the TJ programme agree to share data showing the OA penetration rate and whether they have met their agreed growth targets.

Specifically, TJ titles are required to demonstrate an annual increase in the proportion of OA research content of at least 5% points in absolute terms and at least 15% in relative terms, year-on-year. Journals in the programme also agree to flip to full OA when 75% of the research content is published in this way.

Analysis of the 2023 data shows that of the 996 titles in the TJ programme:

39 titles (4%) had flipped to full OA and thus had successfully transformed, in line with the programme objectives
403 titles (40%) met or exceeded their OA growth targets
552 titles (56%) failed to meet their OA growth targets and, had the TJ programme continued, would have been removed from the TJ programme
2 titles (<1%) only started publishing in 2023 and thus did not have a 2023 TJ target.

A further 57 journals, all published by Cambridge University Press, are in the process of flipping in 2025. Springer Nature also indicated that 14 journals are likely to flip in 2025, though the titles affected are not yet in the public domain.

De Gruyter to make 37 more journals freely available via Subscribe to Open model in 2025

July 10, 2024

De Gruyter is expanding its Subscribe-to-Open program DG2O, with plans to transform an additional 37 journals into open access by 2025.

Among the journals in the DG2O program that will switch to open access in the coming year are particularly renowned titles such as the Historische Zeitschrift, founded in 1859, the Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie, first published in 1888, as well as esteemed periodicals committed to critical perspectives on socio-political questions such as Analyse und Kritik (founded in 1979) and feministische studien (founded in 1982).

With the expansion of the De Gruyter S2O program to include additional key humanities and social sciences titles, important research from disciplines that have so far been underrepresented in the move towards open access will be made freely available online to readers around the world. There will be no publication fees (APCs) for authors, making the model particularly fair and inclusive for researchers in disciplines where financial support for APCs is less established.

Initial analyses of the De Gruyter journals that have already been transformed into open access as part of DG2O show that they are read significantly more often and in significantly more countries worldwide since they have been opened.

The titles to be added in 2025 also include reputed De Gruyter science journals with a long heritage such as Zeitschrift für Kristallographie – Crystalline Materials (founded 1877) and Biological Chemistry (founded 1878).

Last year, De Gruyter was the first major academic publisher to announce Subscribe to Open as the central transformation model of its open access strategy. In 2023, 42% of De Gruyter’s total journal program was freely accessible online in open access. The inclusion of 37 additional titles in the DG2O program will increase the Subscribe to Open portfolio at De Gruyter to nearly 60 titles in 2025. In total, De Gruyter plans to gradually convert around 270 subscription journals to open access by 2028, using the Subscribe to Open model in close consultation with editors and societies.

“We are delighted to be taking another step towards realizing our full journal program transformation, and we are grateful for how libraries and consortia have been supporting our S2O program,” says Dr. Christina Lembrecht, Senior Manager Open Research Strategy at De Gruyter, adding: “It is encouraging to see that not only our S2O program is flourishing, but the model is also being used more and more internationally and the Subscribe to Open Community of Practice is growing steadily.”

“As editors of the Historische Zeitschrift, we are very pleased about this step towards accessibility,” say Prof. Julia Hillner and Prof. Andreas Fahrmeir, continuing: “We find it particularly important that the journal does not charge publication fees as before and thus remains accessible to authors regardless of their status in the academic system.”

Altmetric 500 data offers wider insight into research’s most influential articles

June 24, 2024

Digital Science, a technology company serving stakeholders across the research ecosystem, today announces an exciting new tranche of data that throws light on how and why research cuts through to society at large – in the shape of the Altmetric 500.

A decade on from the first Altmetric 100 reports, which listed the most influential academic articles in a given year, a leading provider of alternative metrics for published research is now releasing an upgraded overview of research engagement: the Altmetric 500.

The Altmetric 500, which analyses the attention for scholarly articles published in 2023, covers over 50 research categories – representing different fields of research (FoR), geographies and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and reflects activity across 11 different attention sources, including:

news articles
academic citations
policy citations
blogs
Wikipedia pages
X (Twitter) profiles.

“We are delighted to release the Altmetric 500, enabling us to recognize and highlight some of the most influential articles of the year. By extending the scope of the Altmetric 500 to fields of research, countries and even SDGs, we will provide a real flavour of what research has been generating interest and discussion in many different areas,” says Cat Williams, Managing Director of Digital Science’s Data & Analytics Hub.

“A key feature of attention to research is that some outputs can gain attention in one area while being barely acknowledged in another. We can see this in the Altmetric 500, and it really serves to demonstrate how relying on a wider range of indicators is really important for gathering more comprehensive insights,” Ms Williams says.

“The overall aim for the Altmetric 500 is to provide a new way to explore the different meanings of ‘attention’ to research, highlighting the various impacts of research across different channels, platforms and cultures.”

Analysis of the Altmetric 500 highlights:

Harvard University and the University of Oxford feature most frequently, with 12 top articles across the 500 categories in 2023 for Harvard, and 11 for Oxford. The University of Toronto had 9.
Springer Nature is the most influential publisher with 81 category-leading publications, ahead of Elsevier (53) and Taylor & Francis (48).
The European Research Council (ERC) and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) are the most successful funders, with ERC supporting 14 top publications and NSFC supporting 13.

Through the rest of 2024, Altmetric and Digital Science will explore these impacts and provide examples and use cases for how the data can be leveraged to provide unique insights into research outcomes.

Clarivate Reveals World’s Leading and Trusted Journals with the 2024 Journal Citation Reports

June 24, 2024

Clarivate Plc, a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, today released the 2024 update to the Journal Citation Reports™ (JCR™). The reports provide an essential and comprehensive resource of high-quality journals, ranked by field to enable academic institutions, researchers and publishers to gauge the significance of journals in the global research landscape. Changes to journal rankings include the addition of the Emerging Sources Citation Index.

Only journals that have met the rigorous quality standards for inclusion in the Web of Science Core Collection™ are featured within the Journal Citation Reports, to ensure that users can confidently rely on the information and descriptive data provided. The annual reports provide a rich array of publisher–independent data, metrics and analysis to enhance user understanding of journal performance, including the widely recognized Journal Impact Factor™ (JIF™) and the Journal Citation Indicator™. 

This year, for the first time, the JCR includes unified rankings across subject categories. There will no longer be separate JIF rankings for the nine subject categories that are indexed in multiple editions. Now those journals will receive a single ranking in their subject category, and the separate rankings will be eliminated. For example, a psychiatry journal listed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)™ and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)™ will now be ranked in one unified Psychiatry ranking rather than two.

Key highlights for the 2024 release:

The JCR has been enhanced to provide an easier and more complete user experience. It includes the integration of journals from the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) in the new unified category rankings.
Coverage of more than 21,800 journals – including ~5,800 journals which publish all their content via open access.
Scholarly journals from 113 countries, across 254 categories are recognized and receive a JIF. This includes 14,090 science journals, 7,321 social science journals and 3,304 arts & humanities journals.
544 journals receive a Journal Impact Factor for the first time.

Dr. Nandita Quaderi, Senior Vice President & Editor-in-Chief, Web of Science, Clarivate, said: “The creation of unified rankings is part of a series of policy changes we have made to support research integrity and help level the global playing field by making the JIF a marker of trust as well as scholarly impact. Last year we extended the JIF to include ESCI journals. This year by ranking ESCI journals alongside all other journals in the same subject category we are sending another strong signal that all trustworthy journals – including newer journals and those with a niche or regional focus – should be valued and given consideration, regardless of how highly cited they are.”

Emmanuel Thiveaud, Senior Vice President, Research and Analytics, Academia & Government at Clarivate said: “For nearly half a century, the global research community has relied on the annual Journal Citation Reports to confidently identify leading and trusted journals in their fields. This year’s enhancements are designed to address the evolving needs of our customers and the unified rankings across subject categories will enhance their ability to evaluate the performance of journals.”
