NEW: Good news zu ACS Publications! - Montag, 13. Februar 2023

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

seit diesem Jahr gibt es einen neuen Konsortialvertrag mit dem Verlag "ACS". Die Bibliothek hat zusammen mit den anderen HGF-Zentren einen sogenannten Publish & Read-Vertrag abgeschlossen.

Was bedeutet das für Sie als verlegerische Korrespondenzautoren?

Sie müssen die Publikationskosten nicht mehr selbst tragen, sie sind bereits durch den Vertrag abgedeckt und werden somit von der Bibliothek bezahlt. Sie müssen auch nicht mehr über CC-Lizenzen nachdenken und möglicherweise eine Lizenz wählen, die die Wiederverwendbarkeit Ihrer Ergebnisse stark einschränkt (CC-BY-NC-ND), sondern veröffentlichen standardmäßig unter der CC-BY-Lizenz! Der Workflow für die Veröffentlichung ändert sich leicht. ACS stellt Ihnen dazu folgendes Material zur Verfügung: https://acsopenscience.org/institutions/read-and-publish/#publish

Sollten Sie als HZI-zugehöriger korrespondierender Autor fälschlicherweise eine Rechnung erhalten, informieren Sie uns bitte, damit wir die Rechnung über unseren Konsortialführer stornieren können.

Bei Fragen steht Ihnen die Bibliothek jederzeit gerne zur Verfügung!

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ihr Bibliotheksteam

Dear colleagues,

since this year there is a new consortium agreement with the publisher "ACS". The library, together with the other HGF centers, has concluded a so-called Publish & Read contract.

What does this mean for you as a publishing corresponding author?

You no longer have to bear the publication costs yourself, they are already covered by the contract and thus paid by the library. You also no longer have to ponder over CC licenses and possibly choose a license that severely limits the reusability of your results (CC-BY-NC-ND), but publish under the CC-BY license by default! The workflow for publishing changes slightly. ACS provides you with the following material for this purpose: https://acsopenscience.org/institutions/read-and-publish/#publish

If you as an HZI-affiliated corresponding author receive wrongly an invoice, please notify us so that we can cancel the invoice via our consortium leader.

 

If you have any questions, please contact the library at any time!

With best regards

your library team

RADAR  NEWSLETTER              [LATEST ISSUE :]  05. AUG. 2021

Der RADAR Newsletter informiert Sie in unregelmäßigen Abständen über alle Neuigkeiten zu RADAR. Alle bisherigen Newsletter finden Sie HIER.

 

RADAR  SOFTWARE RELEASE ( V1.10 )

Seit 20. Juli 2021 steht RADAR in der neuen Software Version v1.10 zur Verfügung. Hierbei wurde das RADAR-Portal grundlegendüberarbeitet. Alle bisher auf dem RADAR-Portal vorhandenen Informationen zu bzw. über RADAR stehen nun auf einer neuen, eigenständigen RADAR-Website zur Verfügung. Das umgestaltete RADAR-Portal und die neue RADAR-Website sind im Layout aufeinander abgestimmt und untereinander durch Schaltflächen und Menüs verlinkt.

Beim Relaunch des RADAR-Portals https://www.radar-service.eu wurde auf eine verbesserte Übersichtlichkeit, Lesbarkeit und Usability Wert gelegt. Bei Aufruf des Portals erscheint unmittelbar die Liste der neuesten Datenpublikationen, die weiteres Suchen, Facettieren, Sortieren, Blättern sowie den Zugriff auf einzelne Datensätze erlaubt. Über die optimierte Kopfleiste gelangen Nutzerinnen und Nutzer auf die RADAR-Anmeldeseite, daneben sind dort die Sprachwahl, die Suchfunktion nach Datensätzen sowie Verlinkungen zur RADAR-Website verfügbar.

Die neue RADAR-Website https://radar.products.fiz-karlsruhe.de erlaubt Zugriff auf alle relevanten Informationen und Dokumente zu RADAR wie etwa zu Features, Betriebsvarianten, Verträgen und Preisen sowie zu unserem Support. Die Startseite enthält zudem die neuesten RADAR-Nachrichten sowie den aktuellen RADAR-Tweet auf unserem Twitter Account. Über die Schaltflächen "ANMELDEN" und "IN DATEN SUCHEN" in der Kopfleiste gelangen Nutzerinnen und Nutzer bequem auf das RADAR-Portal.

Im Zuge des Relaunches des RADAR-Portals haben wir gleichzeitig die Barrierefreiheit der RADAR-Software weiter optimiert und den aktuellen Stand erstmalig in einer Erklärung zur Barrierefreiheit dokumentiert, die Sie hier finden. Derzeitig haben wir uns vor allem auf die barrierearme Zugänglichkeit der öffentlich verfügbaren Seiten des Portals fokussiert. In kommenden Releases werden wir auch die erst nach Anmeldung erreichbaren Seiten schrittweise barrierearm gestalten.

Wir hoffen, dass all diese Aspekte die Nutzungsfreundlichkeit von RADAR weiter verbessern - sei es z. B. beim Zugriff auf Datenpublikationen auf dem RADAR-Portal oder bei der Suche nach den gewünschten Informationen auf der RADAR-Website! Möchten Sie sich selbst überzeugen? RADAR kann unverbindlich getestet werden. Mehr Informationen dazu finden Sie hier.

Dear colleagues,

also in this year a SciFlow-webinar is offered:

Webinar on May, 04th., 10- 11 a.m  in English: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Ow0myDe7RyuZ4TRqIq6eCA (register here)

(the webinar will be recorded and will be made available soon after the event)

 



SciFlow is a web platform for the joint writing of scientific (and other) texts.

Biggest benefits:

  • Journal Templates: Just use the predefined journal template to create your manuscript: https://www.sciflow.net/en/hzi/templates/journals (for other document types like theses, reports etc. use a default template: https://www.sciflow.net/en/hzi/templates/theses PS: choose citation style first).
  • GDPR-compliant: The Berlin startup securely hosts its servers in Germany. The GDPR conformity distinguishes SciFlow positively from international competitors such as Authorea or GoogleDocs.
  • uncomplicated, collaborative, simultaneous writing on one specific document

 

SciFlow-details: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Databases/SciFlow resp. http://hzi-bssp2019/I/W/BIB/Seiten/SciFlow.aspx (Intranet)

 

SciFlow-Portal for HZI-membershttps://sciflow.net/hzi

(via  SciFlow-portal you can create your SciFlow-account with your institutional mail address)

 

The HZI is a participant in an HGF consortium with SciFlow and thus offers extended support and training. SciFlow is aimed at anyone who wants to work on a document with several people, but primarily at scientists. These can automatically format the text for the intended journal using templates, and their own reference management systems can be integrated. Furthermore, reports, meeting notes and data management plans can also be created with SciFlow.

Die Spreu (Predatory Journals/Conf., Fake news...) vom Weizen trennen - Freitag, 16. April 2021

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

gerade in Zeiten von Phänomenen wie Predatory Journals/Conferences, Fake news etc. ist es wichtig, die „Spreu vom Weizen trennen“ zu können. Diese Fähigkeit, auch Informations-kompetenz genannt, kann mittels kritischem Hinterfragen und Erfahrung trainiert werden.

Wahr oder Fake news?

In Bezug auf das Einschätzen von Informationen bzw. das Erkennen von „Fake news“ existiert ein interessantes Quiz, mit dem die eigene Fähigkeit getestet werden kann: https://der-newstest.de/

Nach Abschluss des Tests wird aufgeschlüsselt, in welchen Bereichen gut abgeschnitten wurde und in welchen Bereichen weniger gut. PS: Auch erfahrene, informationskompetente Menschen liegen nicht immer 100%ig richtig  ;-) so, wie es auch die Studie „Quelle Internet?“ der Stiftung Neue Verantwortung ergab. Also einfach mal das eigene Wissen ausprobieren :-)

Die TIB Hannover erstellte übrigens einen Blogbeitrag „Fake news erkennen und bewerten“, in dem auch ein paar Tools vorgestellt werden.

 

Gutes Publikationsorgan oder „schwarzes Schaf“?

Das Einschätzen der Qualität von Journals, Publishern oder Konferenzen bzw. Konferenzanbietern ist manchmal nicht einfach, da es oft auch Grauzonen gibt und die Qualität nicht prozentual errechnet werden kann. Beispielsweise schwierig wird es beim Ermitteln, ob Prozesse der Publizier-Ethik seitens der Publikationsorgane durchgeführt werden. Deren Reviewprozesse, Plagiarismuskontrollen etc. sind ja eher eine Blackbox für Außenstehende (einen kleinen Einblick bezüglich Retractions gibt jedoch die RetractionWatch Database). Trotzdem gibt es auch hierfür Anhaltspunkte:

  1. Ist der Publisher/Konferenzanbieter COPE-Mitglied? (COPE: Committee of Publication Ethics)
  2. Wird nur auf die COPE-Principles/ COPE-Prinziples Poster verwiesen? (diesen Anschein guter Publizierethik wollen natürlich auch Predatory Journals/ Predatory Publishers/ Predatory Conferences geben) Oder werden die COPE-Principles konkret beschrieben und diese auf deren Prozesse angepasst? (Tipp: Um kopierte Textpassagen zu ermitteln, hilft eine Suchanfrage mit einem Textauszug)
  3. ...

Kritisches Hinterfragen und Gegenchecken -auch durch Fragen der Kollegen nach Erfahrungswerten - hilft jedenfalls sehr beim Einschätzen. Als Instrumentarium gibt es die Fragen bei https://thinkchecksubmit.org (für Journals/ Publisher) bzw. http://thinkcheckattend.org (für Konferenzen/ Konferenzanbieter).

Basierend auf https://thinkchecksubmit.org wurde von uns (im Auftrag der Geschäftsführung) die einseitige Anlage zu den Publication Rules samt Nennung einiger Warnzeichen entwickelt.

Auf der Intranetseite „Predatory Publishers vermeiden“ bzw. auf Helmholtz OpenScience-office "FAQ zum Thema Predatory Publishing" gibt es weiterführende Infos.

Sollten Sie unsicher bei einem konkreten Fall sein, können Sie uns gern kontaktieren! :-) PS: Bei Nennung des Publikationsorgans -andernfalls folgt Nachfrage ;-) - beim Manuskriptversand via Publizier-Workflow (siehe HZI Publication Rules (Intranet)), wird dieses seitens der Bibliothek mit geprüft.

Kommen Sie gut durch die nächsten Wochen und bleiben sie gesund.

Separating the chaff (Predatory Journals/Conf., Fake news...) from the wheat

Dear colleagues,

Especially in times of phenomena like Predatory Journals/Conferences, Fake news etc. it is important to be able to "separate the wheat from the chaff". This ability, also called information literacy, can be trained by means of critical questioning and experience.

True or fake news?

With regard to assessing information and recognizing "fake news," there is an interesting quiz that can be used to test your own ability: https://der-newstest.de/ (in German only).

After completion of the test, a breakdown is provided of the areas in which the test taker did well and those in which he did less well. PS: Even experienced, information-literate people are not always 100% correct ;-) as the study "Source Internet?" by the Stiftung Neue Verantwortung also showed. So just try out your own knowledge :-)

By the way, the TIB Hannover created a blog post "Recognizing and evaluating fake news" (Original in deutsch: „Fake news erkennen und bewerten“), which also presents a few tools.

Good publication organ or "black sheep"?

Assessing the quality of journals, publishers or conferences or conference providers is sometimes not easy, because there are often gray areas and the quality cannot be calculated as a percentage. For example, it is difficult to determine whether processes of publishing ethics are carried out by the publishing bodies. Their review processes, plagiarism controls etc. are rather a black box for outsiders (a small insight regarding retractions might give RetractionWatch Database). Nevertheless, there are clues for this as well:

a) Is the publisher/conference provider a COPE member? (COPE: Committee of Publication Ethics)

b) Do they only refer to the COPE principles / COPE principles  poster? (Also Predatory Journals/ Predatory Publishers/Predatory Conferences want to appear as ensuring good publication ethics.) Or are the COPE principles specifically described and adapted to their processes? (Tip: To identify copied text passages, a search query with a text excerpt will help).

c) ...

In any case, critical questioning and cross-checking - also via asking colleagues for their experiences - helps a lot regarding the evaluation. As instruments there are the questions at https://thinkchecksubmit.org  (for journals/publishers) or http://thinkcheckattend.org  (for conferences/conference providers).

Based on https://thinkchecksubmit.org  we developed (on behalf of the management) the one-page Supplement to the Publication Rules including some warning signs.

On the intranet page "Avoid Predatory Publishers" you can find further information.

If you are unsure about a specific case, please feel free to contact us! :-) PS: If you indicate the publication organ - otherwise it will be requested ;-) - when sending the manuscript via the publishing workflow (see HZI Publication Rules), it will be checked by the library.

Get well through the next weeks and stay healthy.

Start der Zeitschrift & OA-Plattform “Open Research Europe“ der Europäischen Kommission - Freitag, 27. November 2020

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,  [aktualisiert: 21. Jul. 2022]

wir freuen uns, Sie über den Start von  „Open Research Europe (ISSN: 2732-5121) informieren zu können: „Open Research Europe” ist der wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungsdienst der Europäischen Kommission, der den Begünstigten von Horizon 2020 und Horizon Europe einen Ort bietet, an dem sie ihre Ergebnisse in voller Übereinstimmung mit der Open-Access-Politik der Europäischen Kommission veröffentlichen können. Der formelle Start der Plattform wird Anfang 2021 stattfinden, aber die Einreichungen beginnen bereits jetzt, so dass wir uns alle im Voraus darauf vorbereiten müssen. Aus diesem Grund möchten wir Sie bitten, Ihren Kollegen und Mitarbeitern die untenstehenden Informationen zu übermitteln.

„Open Research Europe“ wird allen Nutznießern von Horizon 2020 und Horizon Europe und ihren Forschern einen einfachen, qualitativ hochwertigen und von Fachkollegen begutachteten Ort zur Verfügung stellen, an dem sie ihre Ergebnisse im Open Access, ohne Kosten für sie und in voller Übereinstimmung mit den Open-Access-Grundsätzen der Europäischen Kommission veröffentlichen können. Die Gebühren für die Bearbeitung der Artikel werden über einen Beschaffungsvertrag für Veröffentlichungs- und Technologiedienstleistungen mit F1000 Research gezahlt, der von uns verwaltet wird. Der Dienst wird auch nach Ablauf der Zuschüsse zur Verfügung stehen.

Die Plattform wird Veröffentlichungen in allen Bereichen der Wissenschaft annehmen. Die Forschung sollte originell sein und aus einem Horizon 2020-Stipendium (und später Horizon Europe) stammen, an dem mindestens einer der Autoren beteiligt ist. Die Richtlinien für die Veröffentlichung von Artikeln in der Plattform wurden soeben veröffentlicht, und Einreichungen werden ab Anfang Dezember 2020 möglich sein.

Update (21. Juli 2022): Open Research Europe ist nun auch indexiert durch Scopus und ist somit nun Teil der POF-Kennzahlen siehe https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/blog/scopus-indexation-announcement*

 

Die Auswahlkriterien für die Veröffentlichung bei „Open Research Europe“ sind:

Mindestens ein Autor muss an einem laufenden oder abgeschlossenen Projekt von Horizon 2020 (oder später Horizon Europe) der Europäischen Kommission beteiligt sein und der Artikel muss ein Ergebnis dieses Projekts sein. Eine eineindeutige ORCID iD muss zumindest vom einreichenden Autor mit der Einreichung zur Verfügung gestellt werden, und der Beitrag jedes Autors muss durch die Auswahl der CRediT-Rollen auf dem Formular zur Einreichung des Artikels detailliert beschrieben werden (siehe  3. Autorenschaft der Richtlinien).

Die Plattform verwendet ein Modell der sofortigen Veröffentlichung von Einreichungen, gefolgt von einer transparenten, eingeladenen und offenen Begutachtung (Open Peer Review) durch Fachkollegen unter Einbeziehung aller unterstützenden Daten. Die Namen der Gutachter werden offen sein, ebenso wie ihre Begutachtungen, die ebenfalls zitierfähig sind.

Die Plattform verfügt über einen starken internationalen wissenschaftlichen Beirat, der die Kommission in strategischen wissenschaftlichen Fragen berät.

Introducing the European Commission’s journal & OA-platform “Open Research Europe”

 

Dear colleagues,

we pleased to inform you about the launch of Open Research Europe (ISSN: 2732-5121), the European Commission scientific publishing service, which will provide Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe beneficiaries with a venue to publish their results in full compliance with their open access policies. The formal launch of the platform will take place in early 2021, but submissions are already starting now, so we all need to prepare in advance. This is why we would like to ask you to convey the information below to your colleagues and collaborators.

Open Research Europe will provide all Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe beneficiaries and their researchers with an easy, high quality peer-reviewed venue to publish their results in open access, at no cost to them, and in full compliance with their open access policies. The article processing charges will be paid through a procurement contract for publishing and technology services with F1000 Research managed by us. The service will be available also after the end of the grants.

The platform will accept publications in all fields of science. Research should be original and stem from a Horizon 2020 grant (and later Horizon Europe) in which at least one of the authors is involved. The article guidelines for publishing in the platform have just been released and submissions will be possible as of early December 2020.

* Update (21. Juli 2022): Open Research Europe is now indexed by Scopus and thus part of POF-metrics see https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/blog/scopus-indexation-announcement

 

Selection criteria for publication at Open Research Europe are: At least one author must be involved in an ongoing or completed Horizon 2020 (or later Horizon Europe) project of the European Commission and the article must be a result of this project. An unique ORCID iD must be provided with the submission at least by the submitting author and each author’s contribution must be detailed by selecting CRediT roles on the article submission form (see 3. Authorship in policies).

The platform will use a model of immediate publication of submissions followed by transparent, invited and open peer review with inclusion of all supporting data. The names of the reviewers will be open, as well as their reviews, which will also be citeable.

The platform boasts a strong international Scientific Advisory Board that advises the Commission on strategic scientific issues.

 

Some remarks (based on the explanations of the Helmholtz OpenScience Office):

*This journal/ publishing platform was not indexed until July 2022 in SCOPUS and is not yet indexed in the Web of Science. This process depends on the indexing guidelines of the respective database [1].

The Model Grant Agreement for Horizon Europe has not yet been published. However the following set of slides (from slide 11) gives a first insight into the Open Science funding conditions:

Wiley-Newsletter mit HZI als BestPractice-Beispiel bezüglich OpenAccess-Infos und autorenrelevante Inhalte - Mittwoch, 28. Oktober 2020

Pünktlich zum Start der OpenAccessWeek 2020 erscheint die Oktober-Ausgabe des Wiley-Newsletters. Diese Ausgabe des Wiley-Newsletters präsentiert einerseits interessante Angebote für Autoren und hebt darüber hinaus das HZI als 2. BestPractice-Beispiel bezüglich der OpenAccess-Infos hervor. Diese seit neuestem regelmäßig präsentierten Best-Practice-Beispiele zeigen, wie die Kommunikation mit AutorInnen zu Open Access erfolgreich gestaltet werden kann. Besonders gelobt wird die Abgrenzung des DEAL-Hybridmodells zum herkömmlichen Hybridmodell bei traditionellen Subskriptionszeitschriften:

„Auf der Open Access-Webseite der HZI-Bibliothek wurde ein wichtiger Hinweis bezüglich der Open Access-Publikation in hybriden Zeitschriften im Rahmen derProjekt DEAL-Verträge hinzugefügt:

*Bitte beachten Sie: in DEAL-Verträgen ist das dortige Hybridmodell im Wiley-DEAL und SpringerNature-DEAL ein vollwertiges OpenAccess und deren Kosten sind gedeckt durch die DEAL-Vereinbarungen, somit entstehen KEINE zusätzlichen OpenAccess-Gebühren für OpenAccess, also bitte wählen Sie immer die OpenAccess-Option, die als default angeboten wird ! siehe DEAL explained: A-Z, unsere Seiten Open Access in Wiley / OpenAccess in SpringerNature und DEAL-FAQ for authors (Will the publisher charge open access publication fees to authors?)

 

Da Bibliotheken aufgrund der „double dipping“-Thematik* AutorInnen normalerweise keine Open Access-Publikationen in hybriden Zeitschriften empfehlen, ist ein solcher Hinweis wichtig, um sicherzustellen, dass AutorInnen von der Möglichkeit, Open Access in hybriden Zeitschriften unter Projekt DEAL zu publizieren, auch Gebrauch machen. [* „double dipping“/ Doppelbelastung: im herkömmlichen Hybridmodell der Subskriptionszeitschriften entstehen den Institutionen doppelt Kosten: Subskriptionskosten + APC + zusätzliche Freischaltungsgebühr]

Eine solche Zusatzinformation kann dazu beiträgen, dass AutorInnen nicht aus den falschen Gründen einen so genannten OpenAccess Opt-Out im Rahmen des Publikationsprozesses wählen.

Darüber hinaus bietet die Open Access-Webseite des HZI viele weitere ansprechende Informationsquellen und -formate, um AutorInnen zu informieren. Hierzu gehören u.a.:

  • Ein „Open Acces Explained“-Video für AutorInnen
  • Eine Infografik zu den Vorteilen von Open Access
  • Eine Infografik, die den Unterschied zwischen Gold Open Access und Green Open Access erklärt
  • Weiterführende Informationen und Links rund um Open Access

 

Den Link zur Open Access-Webseite der HZI-Bibliothek finden Sie hier.“

Das komplette Best-Practice-Beispiel zum HZI des Wiley-Newsletters (Okt.) finden Sie hier.

 

Für Sie als Wissenschaftler ist vom Wiley-Newsletter Oktober noch besonders empfehlenswert:

  • Video zur Auswahl der passenden cc-Lizenz: Wiley’s neuer Videoclip “Projekt DEAL: Selecting the best license for your open access publishing (Wiley) erklärt kurz und bündig,  welche Nutzungsrechte die AutorIn bei  der Vergabe von verschiedenen CC-Lizenztypen einräumt  und welchen Workflow sie in der Author Service Plattform folgen muss.  Damit hilft der Clip den WissenschaftlerInnen, die richtige Wahl der für sie richtigen Lizenz zu treffen, wobei die „CC BY“ als bevorzugte Option herausgestellt wird.
  • 24/7 Live-Chat für Wiley-Autoren: Wiley‘s Kundenservice hat sich durch die kürzliche Einführung einer Chat-Funktion entscheidend verbessert. Unser globales Customer Support Team steht AutorInnen rund um die Uhr, sieben Tage die Woche im Live-Chat zur Verfügung: der Chat kann über eine Hilfetaste, die auf allen Author Services-Webseiten zu finden ist, initiiert werden (z.B. hier).
  • Autoren-Ressourcen bei Wiley im Überblick: In einer kurzen Präsentation finden Sie eine Liste der Wiley Service-Angebote für AutorInnen im Überblick (alternativ: dauerhaft archivierte Version –ohne funktionierende Links - via Wayback Machine hier).

Hier geht’s zum kompletten Wiley-Newsletter, Oktober 2020 (alternativ: dauerhaft archivierte Version –ohne funktionierende Links - via Wayback Machine)

Sie können sich wie gewohnt bei Fragen an uns wenden.

Herzliche Grüße

Ihr Bibliotheksteam

The October issue of the Wiley-Newsletter has been shared in time during the start of OpenAccessWeek 2020. This issue of the Wiley-Newsletter presents interesting offers for authors and highlights the HZI as a best practice example of OpenAccess information. These best-practice examples, with which Wiley started recently, show how communication with authors on Open Access can be successfully organised. The differentiation of the DEAL hybrid model from the conventional hybrid model of traditional subscription journals is particularly highlighted:

“On the Open Access website-of HZI library, an important notice regarding Open Access publication in hybrid journals within the framework of the project DEAL contracts has been added:

*Please note: in DEAL-contracts the so-called hybrid model in Wiley-DEAL and SpringerNature-DEAL are full OpenAccess-articles and those fees are covered thus there are no additional fees for OpenAccess there, so please always vote the OpenAccess-option as default there! see also DEAL explained: A-Z, our pages Open Access in Wiley / OpenAccess in SpringerNature and DEAL-FAQ for authors (Will the publisher charge open access publication fees to authors?)

 

Since libraries do not normally recommend authors to publish Open Access in hybrid journals due to the "double dipping" issue*, such a notice is important to ensure that authors make use of the possibility to publish Open Access in hybrid journals under project DEAL. [* "double dipping"/ double burden: in the traditional hybrid model of subscription journals, institutions incur double costs: subscription costs + APC + additional fee to give access to all only for this article].

Such additional information can help to ensure that authors do not, choose a so-called OpenAccess Opt-Out during the publication process for wrong reasons based on the traditional hybrid publishing.

In addition, the HZI's Open Access website offers many other attractive resources and formats for informing authors. These include, among others:

  • an „Open Acces Explained“-Video for Authors
  • an Infographic on the benefits of Open Access
  • an Infographic, which explains the difference between Gold Open Access and Green Open Access
  • additional information and Links on Open Access

The link to the Open Access-Webseite of HZI-Library you will find here.“

NEU: SciFlow : Schreiben Sie im Team ein Manuskript oder Report - Freitag, 4. September 2020

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Der SciFlow-Texteditor, ein kollaborativer Online-Editor, wurde speziell für Wissenschaftler entwickelt und bietet spezielle Journal-Templates, die das Manuskript-Layout automatisch auf die gewählte Zeitschrift anpassen. Mit dem jeweils gewählten Template können Sie sich auf den Inhalt konzentrieren, sodass der Formatierungsaufwand sehr niedrig ist.

Die HZI-Bibliothek hat für SciFlow eine institutionelle Lizenz erwprben, damit die benötigten Journal-Templates bei Bedarf via Anfrage an SciFlow realisiert werden können (nach Prüfung der Journal-Liste im SciFlow(HZI)-Portal via Button „Template anfragen“). Da die HZI-Bibliothek jedes Jahr eine Analyse aller HZI-Publikationen zu den OpenAccess-Anteilen und den genutzten Publisher/Journals durchführt, konnten wir den SciFlow-Entwicklern schon die 30 meistgenutzten Journals nennen, damit diese Journal-Templates bald allen zur Verfügung stehen. Die bereits existierenden Templates finden Sie im SciFlow-Portal für das HZI:  https://sciflow.net/hzi

(Allgemeinere wissenschaftliche Templates für wissenschaftliche Berichte, Förderanträge etc werden demnächst im SciFlow(HZI)-Portal in einer eigenen Rubrik verfügbar sein, derzeit gibt es einige allgemeine Templates in der Rubrik „Haus- und Abschlussarbeiten“ sowie die Templates Meetingprotokoll (de, en), Bericht (de), Datenmanagementplan (Horizon 2020, DFG, BMBF))

Das Schreiben in SciFlow ist grundsätzlich kostenlos möglich und jede/r kann sich dort anmelden und das Portal ausprobieren und nutzen. Der Vorteil einer institutionellen Lizenz liegt darin, dass auf Anfrage Templates für die benötigten Zeitschriften, die noch nicht verfügbar sind, kostenlos innerhalb von 2 – 3 Wochen erstellt werden und dass es Webinarschulungen und direkten Support gibt.

Lernen Sie SciFlow (https://sciflow.net/hzi) kennen in diesen SciFlow-Webinaren:

(Nähere Infos erhalten Sie zusätzlich separat via Mailingliste „Vortragsankuendigung“)

Demo (©OVGU): SciFlow- kollaboratives Wissenschaftl. Arbeiten /SciFlow-connecting scientific writers

Die SciFlow-Features:

  • Online-Texteditor (an GoogleDocs angelehnt, aber DSGVO-konform und sicher) mit Bild-, Formel- und Zitateinbindung
  • Zusammenarbeit mit beliebig vielen AutorInnen (auch außerhalb der Institution)
  • Formatierung und Export via Templates am Ende des Schreibprozesses für fertig zur Einreichung formatierte Texte (zur Mitnahme von Kommentaren bei der Template-Suche „comments“ eingeben)
  • Einbindung der Literaturverwaltungen Zotero, Mendeley und BibTex (Citavi ist in Arbeit, ein HGF-Konsortium wird sich für die Einbindung von RIS/EndNote einsetzen).
  • Da die Nutzung des Grundsystems für jedermann kostenfrei ist, können Sie auch mit KollegInnen außerhalb der HGF problemlos zusammenarbeiten und –schreiben.
  • Die Server stehen in Deutschland (DSGVO-konform); SciFlow ist ein StartUp aus Magdeburg.
  • Noch fehlende Journal-Templates werden für lizenzierende Institute kostenlos innerhalb von 2-3 Wochen erstellt (nach Prüfung der Journal-Liste im SciFlow(HZI)-Portal via Button „Template anfragen“), ohne Lizenzvertrag nur kostenpflichtig gegen Einzel-Berechnung.

 

PS: Ähnliche Tools wie Authorea oder Overleaf sind als institutionelle Version deutlich teurer und kommen aus dem angloamerikanischen Bereich, sind also nicht DSGVO-konform. Das FZ Jülich hat sich alle 3 Tools angesehen und kam zu der Überzeugung, dass nur SciFlow DSGVO-konform und damit institutionell lizenzierbar ist.

Viele Grüße,

Ihr Bibliotheksteam

--- ENGLISH ----

Dear colleagues/ Dear Sir or Madam,

The SciFlow text editor, a collaborative online editor, was developed especially for scientists and offers journal-specific templates that automatically adapt the manuscript layout to the selected journal. The selected template allows you to concentrate on the content, so that the formatting effort is very low.

The HZI library has acquired an institutional license for SciFlow, so that the required journal templates can be realized via request to SciFlow if required (after checking the Journal-list in SciFlow(HZI)-Portal via Button „Template anfragen“). Since the HZI library conducts an annual analysis of all HZI publications regarding the OpenAccess parts and the used publishers/journals, we could already tell the SciFlow developers about the 30 most used journals, so that these journal templates will soon be available to everyone. The already existing templates can be found in SciFlow-portal for HZI: https://sciflow.net/hzi

(More general scientific templates for scientific reports, grant applications etc. will soon be available in the SciFlow(HZI) portal in a separate section, currently there are some general templates in the section "Haus- und Abschlussarbeiten/”(term papers and theses) and the templates Meeting minutes (de, en), report (de), Data management plan (Horizon 2020, DFG, BMBF)

Get to know SciFlow in this SciFlow-webinars:

(further details we send via mailing list „Vortragsankuendigung“)

 

Demo (©OVGU): SciFlow- kollaboratives Wissenschaftl. Arbeiten /SciFlow-connecting scientific writers

 

The SciFlow features:

  • Online text editor (similar to GoogleDocs, but DSGVO compliant and secure) with image, formula and citation integration
  • Cooperation with any number of authors (also outside the institution) possible
  • Formatting and export via templates at the end of the writing process for texts formatted ready for submission (to include comments into the export enter "comments" in the template search)
  • Involvement of the literature administrations Zotero, Mendeley and BibTex (Citavi is in work, a HGF consortium will work for the integration of RIS/EndNote).
  • Since the use of the basic system is free of charge for everyone, you can also work and write with colleagues outside the HGF without any problems.
  • The servers are located in Germany (DSGVO compliant); SciFlow is a start-up from Magdeburg.
  • Still missing journal templates will be created free of charge for licensing institutes (after checking the Journal-list in SciFlow(HZI)-Portal via Button „Template anfragen“) within 2-3 weeks, without a license agreement only via individual invoice fee.

 

PS: Similar tools like Authorea or Overleaf are much more expensive as institutional version and come from the Anglo-American area, so they are not DSGVO-compliant. The FZ Jülich looked at all 3 tools and came to the conclusion that only SciFlow is DSGVO-compliant and thus institutionally licensable.

Best regards,

HZI library team

 

 

SpringerNature: GoldOA-Komponente seit 1.8.2020 freigeschaltet / GoldOA-component in SpringerNatureDEAL activated since 1. Aug. 2020 - Montag, 3. August 2020

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
Wir freuen uns, Ihnen Folgendes mitteilen zu können:

Die GoldOA-Komponente bei den FullyOpen-Zeitschriften im SpringerNature-DEAL ist seit 1. August 2020 freigeschaltet (OnlineOpen im SpringerNatureDEAL ist ja seit 1. Jan. 2020 nutzbar, siehe Tabelle auf der Seite DEAL allgemein) - darunter fallen die SpringerOpen-,  die zwei Nature-Titel Nature Communications und Scientific Reports und die BMC-Titel. Bei den SpringerOPEN-Titeln und den BMC-Titeln gibt es auf den Listenpreis einen zusätzlichen Rabatt von 20% für DEAL-Einrichtungen, siehe auch OpenAccess in SpringerNature und DEAL allgemein

01.08.2020     Publikationen berechtigter Autor*innen in aktuell rund 600 Springer Nature-Open-Access-Zeitschriften = Fully Open Access (inkl. Scientific Reports und Nature Communications) werden ab dem 1.8.2020 vom Vertrag abgedeckt. Auf die APC-Listenpreise aller Springer-Open und BMC-Titel wird ein Nachlass von 20% gewährt, siehe SpringerNature-DEAL-Vertrag
"For BMC and certain other Springer titles which are included in the Open Access Journals, Publisher will apply in addition to the Cap a 20% discount, the journals being eligible for such discount will be identified accordingly in the DEAL Journal List."

Alle zur Publikation angenommenen Manuskripte (Stichtag 01.08.2019) mit einem corresponding author aus den Teilnehmereinrichtungen werden sofort und kostenlos Open Access veröffentlicht und freigeschaltet (mit CC-BY 4.0, nur bei wenigen Zeitschriften mit CC-BY-NC), siehe SpringerNature-DEAL-Vertrag.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass Artikel für BMC- und bisherigen SpringerOpen-Zeitschriften weiterhin über das Altsystem eingereicht werden. Dies bedeutet, dass die Autor*innen bereits bei der Einreichung aufgefordert werden, eine Zahlungsoption anzukreuzen. Um den DEAL-Autor*innen die Arbeit zu erleichtern, empfiehlt SpringerNature an der Stelle "I agree to pay the APC" anzukreuzen, siehe   BMC-SpringerOpen-Workflow. Die eigentliche Identifizierung und Zuordnung des Artikels zur jeweiligen DEAL-Einrichtung erfolgt erst nachdem der Artikel für die Publikation angenommen wurde (als Teil des "MyPublication"-Workflows, den der/die Autor*in nach der "Acceptance" anstößt). Aus dem Grund sollten alle Artikel, die zwischenzeitlich mit dem alten BMC-Mitgliedscode eingereicht wurden, korrekt prozessiert und dem jeweiligen DEAL AAS-Accounts zugeordnet werden.

Im SpringerNature-DEAL nicht enthalten sind:
alle Nature-Zeitschriften (bis auf die im DEAL enthaltenen Zeitschriften Nature Communications & Scientific Reports), Magazine (z.B. Scientific American, Spektrum der Wissenschaft), technische Fachzeitschriften (z.B. ATZ, MTZ).

Um Sie beim Publizieren in SpringerNature und in Wiley zu unterstützen, haben wir unsere Seiten erweitert: 
•   DEAL allgemein: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Zeitschriften/OpenAccess/DEAL-allgemein
•   OpenAccess in SpringerNature: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Zeitschriften/OpenAccess-in-SpringerNature

---ENGLISH –-

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that the GoldOA-component of the FullyOpen-journals in the SpringerNatureDEAL is available since August 1, 2020 (OnlineOpen in the SpringerNatureDEAL has been available since January 1, 2020, see table on page DEAL in general) - this includes the SpringerOpen, the two Nature titles Nature Communications and Scientific Reports and BMC titles. For the SpringerOPEN titles and the BMC titles there is an additional discount of 20% on the list price for DEAL facilities, see also page OpenAccess in SpringerNature and DEAL in general.

01.08.2020        Publications by authorized authors in currently around 600 SpringerNature pure OpenAccess-journals = Fully Open Access (including Scientific Reports and Nature Communications) will be covered by the contract from 1.8.2020. A discount of 20% will be granted on the APC list prices of all Springer Open Access and BMC titles, see SpringerNature-DEAL-contract
"For BMC and certain other Springer titles which are included in the Open Access Journals, Publisher will apply in addition to the Cap a 20% discount, the journals being eligible for such discount will be identified accordingly in the DEAL Journal List."

All manuscripts accepted for publication (due date: 01.08.2019) with corresponding authors from the participating institutions will be published and activated immediately and free of charge (with CC-BY 4.0, only for a few journals with CC-BY-NC), see SpringerNature-DEAL-contract.

Please note that articles for BMC and the previous SpringerOPEN-journals will still be submitted via the previous legacy system. This means that authors will be asked to choose a payment option when submitting their articles. To make it easier for DEAL authors, SpringerNature recommends to choose  "I agree to pay the APC", see BMC-SpringerOpen-Workflow. The actual identification and assignment of the article to the respective DEAL facility is carried out after the article has been accepted for publication (as part of the "MyPublication"-workflow, which the author* initiates after "Acceptance"). For this reason, all articles submitted in the meantime with the old BMC member code will be processed correctly and assigned to the respective DEAL AAS account.

Not included in the SpringerNature-DEAL:
all Nature-branded journals (except those 2 Nature-journals included in the DEAL: Nature Communications & Scientific Reports), magazines (e.g. Scientific American, Spektrum der Wissenschaft), technical journals (e.g. ATZ, MTZ).

To support you in publishing in SpringerNature and in Wiley, we have expanded our pages: 
•  DEAL in general: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Journals/OpenAccess/DEAL-in-general 
•  OpenAccess in SpringerNature: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Journals/OpenAccess/OpenAccess-in-SpringerNature 
•  OpenAccess in Wiley: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Journals/OpenAccess/OpenAccess-in-Wiley

Lessons from Covid-19 & first living search strategy for Covid-19 resources - Mittwoch, 29. Juli 2020

Dear colleagues,

Many of you are busy with doing research on Covid-19 and related topics. We would therefore like to draw your attention to the following publication if you have not yet discovered it:

 

Shokraneh, Farhad, and Tony Russell-Rose. 2020. “Lessons from COVID-19 to Future Evidence Synthesis Efforts: First Living Search Strategy and out of Date Scientific Publishing and Indexing Industry.” Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 123 (July): 171-173. DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2020.04.014.

 

In this letter to the editor Shokraneh et al. describe the lessons learned from Covid-19. One of the most important challenge is that a variety of terms were used and also are still being used to describe the concept of Covid-19. Furthermore, the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) – which supports the researcher in finding synonyms and refining their search strategy – were updated regarding Covid-19 related terms so frequently that it was hard to keep up:

Apart from the fact that designing search strategies can be subjective and strategies may vary from one search expert to another, terminology is changing rapidly and search strategies that were accurate when first pub-lished can become unreliable and unable to retrieve relevant literature in a consistent manner.”[1]  

Shokraneh et al. intend to solve this problem via their creation of the first living search strategy on Covid-19 for which they used the 2Dsearch platform. This living search strategy is being constantly updated and curated as the Covid-19 concept develops and new terminology appears in MESH –the permanent link to it is: https://app.2dsearch.com/new-query/5e8072c5e0b7360004cd2b74.

At that 2Dsearch platform you can directly get the results from Pubmed via the top-right link “Open Pubmed results”. (BTW: within only 4 hours the Pubmed results for this Covid-19 search strategy were rising from 37.400 to 37.529 hits.) Moreover, via “Tree view” (middle of the top-menu) you can display the search terms as a tree map. You can also adapt and refine the search strategy and export it. For more details see How to use/ Help (in left menu): https://www.2dsearch.com/help  

Shokraneh et al. also suggest to use additionally preprint servers for searching on Covid-19 and other rapidly growing topics: “…at the time of writing, more than a quarter of studies on COVID-19 are not published in any journal and are not indexed in MEDLINE or Embase. This means that any evidence synthesis effort must consider searching preprint servers such as medRxiv and bioRxiv etc. in addition to ClinicalTrials.Gov (for more details see Shokraneh’s publication“Keeping up with studies on COVID-19: systematic search strategies and resources[2])

Regarding searching Covid-19 related preprints there exist some meta-search tools:

  • PreVIEW: COVID-19 (ZB Med/ nfdi4health Task Force COVID-19):  includes all COVID-19 related preprints from medRxiv, bioRxiv, ChemRxiv, arXiv & Preprints.org, updated daily, extended search and filter functions for abstracts, direct links to the full texts and export functions for retrieved results. To improve retrieval functionality, concepts from standardized disease and symptom vocabularies are marked in the abstracts. Additional terminology for the search for transmission and seroprevalence information has been added.
  • Outbreak Science Rapid PREreview: aims to centralize reviews from different preprint server
  • Integrated search of preprints from medRxiv & bioRxiv
  • Collabovid (created by TU-BS students during “Code vs Covid-Hackaton”): Collabovid helps researchers to identify the most relevant information by using Natural Language Processing. Search for any topic you want. Visit search to review all articles or browse a list of predefined topics. For additional help visit the frequently asked questions.

(Those and additional tools are part of our regularly updated collection "Free and useful resources on Corona", last update: 28. July 2020, 13 pages)

 

Beside ignoring Preprints it is also not advisable to ignore non-English publications as Nussbaumer-Streit et al. argue: “Ignoring Chinese language publications for any evidence synthesis during the early phase of the outbreak would have meant ignoring the bulk of the evidence. We would even argue that including the Chinese language in searches of English-speaking databases (e.g., PubMed or Embase) is not enough—a situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic requires searches in Chinese databases.”[3]

This conclusion is based on a study whose result Nussbaumer-Streit et al. describe as follows: “From 29 included studies, six were published in the Chinese language and listed in Chinese literature databases.”[4] The results complement the guidance in the new edition of the Cochrane Handbook[5] .

Free and useful resources and news on Corona (letztes Update: 19. Apr. 2021) - Mittwoch, 25. März 2020

Dear colleagues/ Dear Sir or Madam,

[PS: Be aware that we together with several publishers/ providers set up institutional login via Shibboleth see Journals resp. Downloads (section Remote access)

As our country is battling the Coronavirus libraries, publishers and course platforms are there to give fast access to the resources you need. Here is a collection of resources (last updated: 19. Apr. 21), subdivided in the following sections:

a. die wichtigsten Übersichtsseiten/ the most important overview websites

b. die wichtigsten Verlage und Suchtools, die Corona-bezogene Inhalte z.Z. kostenfrei zur Verfügung stellen/ main publishers currently providing Corona-related content free of charge

c. die wichtigsten sonstigen Quellen/ most important additional resources

d. Program tools, technological services, methods and standard development, datasets of genome sequences, antiviral target candidates etc.

e. eBooks, Online courses

  1. die wichtigsten Übersichtsseiten/ the most important overview websites

 

 

  1. die wichtigsten Verlage und Suchtools, die Corona-bezogene Inhalte z.Z. kostenfrei zur Verfügung stellen/ main publishers currently providing Corona-related content free of charge (following Creative Commons‘ call for OpenAccess Policies )

Completed reviews are located on the homepage’s whole collection (extracted from the following sources: LitCovid, COVID-19 Portfolio Search (NIH iCite), WHO COVID database, CEBM Oxford COVID-19 Evidence Service, Cochrane, ECRI COVID-19 Center, National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools, McMaster University, INHATA member organizations). Reviews in progress can be found on “Evidence Reviews in Progress” (populated by searching PROSPERO (NIHR), CEBM Questions Under Review, and the Cochrane COVID Rapid Reviews and question bank). We also add reviews in progress as we hear of them from you – scientists & experts.

Other rapid reviews collections: Joanna Briggs Institute’s COVID-19 Special Collection, Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine’s Oxford COVID-19 Evidence Service, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence’s Coronavirus (COVID-19), Institut national d’excellence en santé et en services sociaux : COVID-19, CADTH: CADTH and COVID-19

* However, such temporary offers by traditional publishers are not sustainable (except those that are permanently OpenAccess) – as those temporary offers are not permanently accessible.

 

  1. die wichtigsten sonstigen Quellen/ most important additional resources
  1. priorities for new syntheses and guidelines so you can fill an important gap in what’s known and don’t contribute to unnecessary duplication (coming soon)
  2. resources for those considering and conducting COVID-19 evidence syntheses so what you prepare has a good change of making it into our inventory of best evidence syntheses and being used to support decision-making
  3. resources for those considering and developing COVID-19 guidelines so what you develop addresses a need and is of high quality (coming soon).

 

  1. Program tools, technological services, methods and standard development, datasets of genome sequences, antiviral target candidates etc.
    • COVIDGraph: The COVID❋GRAPH project builds a knowledge graph on COVID-19 from various public sources. It combines publications, case statistics, genes, molecular data, and many more entities in a Neo4j database. Currently, more data sources are integrated, e.g. clinical trials, and connecting entities from potentially related diseases like diabetes, cancer or lung diseases. Other action points are running pattern finding algorithms to find new patterns or relationships, and working more on the GUI and user experience side. Use COVID Graph Explorer to interactively explore the database. Start by searching for entities in the database. Select an entity type and enter a query in the toolbar. If there are multiple matches for your query, you can preview and filter the results in a table. From there you can load them into the diagram. The visualizations have been created with yFiles for HTML. The actions in the context menu and in the details view help exploring the database by loading connected entities and clearly arranging the graph

Stabstelle Bibliothek ab 23.3. im HomeOffice/ Library at homeoffice from 23.03.2020 on - Freitag, 20. März 2020

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

auch die Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter der Stabsstelle Bibliothek verabschieden sich vom Montag den 23.03.2020 an bis zur Aufhebung der Basisstufe 4 ins HomeOffice.

Wir sind aber weiterhin für sie erreichbar. Per Email erreichen Sie uns über bibliothek[@]helmholtz-hzi.de und telefonisch über die gewohnten Rufnummern; Weiterleitungen ins HomeOffice sind aktiviert.

 

Sie finden nun auch eine Liste von Verlagen von elektronischen Journals und Datenbanken, mit denen wir ein institutionelles Login via Shibboleth einrichten konnten:

http://intranet-hzi/I/W/BIB/Seiten/Downloads.aspx (Kategorie: Zugang außerhalb des Campus)

[Update: 25.3.2020: Die Liste der instutional login-Möglichkeit je Anbieter via Shibboleth ist nun auch öffentlich im Bibliotheksportal >Zeitschriften bzw. >Downloads zugänglich]

Sie können sich somit, ohne den Connect-VPN-Tunnel nutzen zu müssen, direkt auf den Verlagsseiten mit ihrem institutionellen Login anmelden. Wir werden die Liste laufend aktuell halten.

 

Weiterhin stehen wir Ihnen für Fragen zu Lizenzen, für Artikelanfragen, zu Open Access-Publikation, und zu Predatory Journals gerne zur Verfügung.

--- ENGLISH ---

Dear Colleagues,

The library staff is going to work from homeoffice from Monday 23.03.2020 until Basisstufe 4 is lifted.

But we are still available for you. You can reach us by email at bibliothek[@]helmholtz-hzi.de and by telephone using the usual numbers; Forwardings to the home office are activated.

 

On our intranet page you will find a list of publishers of electronic journals and databases with which we were able to set up an institutional login.

http://intranet-hzi/I/W/BIB/Seiten/Downloads.aspx (Remote Access)

You can register here directly on the publisher's website with your institutional login without having to use the Connect VPN tunnel. We will keep the list up to date.

We are also happy to answer any questions you may have about licenses, article inquiries, open access publications and predatory journals. Our HGF search robot FATER unfortunately does not work via the Connect VPN tunnel and there are problems with Labfolder ELN too.

 

If you urgently need to borrow textbooks or method books from the library, please use our self-service station (you will need your library card). We have set up a return box for urgent book returns or laboratory books.

 

We are happy to place orders for books, but it is not possible to receive and process physical media until the home office is closed.

 

Get through the next few weeks well and stay healthy

A. Plähn and the library team

Mendeley and JCR-news - Freitag, 15. März 2019

 

Here are some news:

Mendeley : Mendeley Institutional Edition expires on 4th of May

Mendeley Institional Edition expires on 4th of May but you can still use Mendeley Basic (see original mail by Mendeley):

?We noticed that you have not signed in to Mendeley from your institution in the last 11 months. Your alumni access to premium benefits associated with the Mendeley Institutional Edition will expire on 05/04/2019.

If you are still connected with Librarian Certification Program, please sign into your Mendeley account within the next month from your institution's IP range. This will enable you to retain the premium benefits associated with the Mendeley Institutional Edition which include:

 100 GB of personal storage

 100 GB of shared storage

Thanks to the one who asked regarding Mendeley Institional Edition which reminded me again to send this Mendeley notification ;) So just ask us anything which can be a benefit for other colleagues as well ;)

JCR/Incites (new URL)

JCR/Incites for comparing journals and checking the validity of Impact factors has a new URL: https://jcr.clarivate.com (the old URL https://jcr.incites.thomsonreuters.com was only working until 18.3.2019).

Addendum: A mentioned Impact Factor on a Journal?s page might be false as this is a common practice of predatory publishers (see http://intranet-hzi/I/W/BIB/Seiten/PredatoryPublishers.aspx ). Therefore, if you want to submit a paper a check of the specific journal?s quality / Publisher?s quality is necessary (see Publishing approach http://intranet-hzi/I/W/BIB/Seiten/Ihre%20OA-Vorgehensweise.aspx) which is now also part of the current publication rules.

Feel free to contact us in case of questions. 

NEW_Dokumentation zum Helmholtz OS-Workshop Elektronische Laborbücher - Donnerstag, 14. Februar 2019

Im September 2018 fand am Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung (HZI) in Braunschweig der Helmholtz Open Science Workshop „Elektronische Laborbücher“ statt, bei dem über aktuelle Möglichkeiten zum Umstieg von traditionellen Laborbüchern aus Papier auf elektronische Geräte diskutiert wurde (siehe OpenScience-Newsletter 70). Die Veranstaltung beschäftigte sich nicht nur während der Vorträge mit Fragen rund um die Einführung von elektronischen Laborbüchern in wissenschaftlichen Laboren und Institutionen:

Am ersten Tag des Workshops konnten die Teilnehmer/-innen während einer Demosession mit verschiedenen Anbietern elektronische Laborbücher am Rechner testen und Hilfestellung bei der Entscheidung zur Einführung und Auswahl einer Open-Source-Software oder eines kommerziellen Produkts erhalten. Während des gesamten Workshops gab es einen regen Austausch und spannende Vernetzungen zwischen Teilnehmer/-innen aus unterschiedlichen Forschungsgebieten und Funktionsbereichen.

 

Als Nachtrag zum Workshop ist nun für alle Interessierten aus Wissenschaft und deren Verwaltung (Bibliotheken, Rechen- und Datenzentren…) eine Dokumentation mit Abstracts und Vortragsfolien der Beiträge erschienen:

Helmholtz Open Science Workshop „Elektronische Laborbücher“, Braunschweig, 13.-14. September 2018. Dokumentation. Herausg. von Paul Schultze-Motel, 2019. Potsdam: Helmholtz Zentrum Potsdam Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum - GFZ. https://doi.org/10.2312/os.helmholtz.001

Wir danken den Herausgebern der Dokumentation für die Zusammenstellung und die gelungene Gestaltung der Dokumentation und dessen Erwähnung im aktuellen OS-Newsletter 72. Wir danken nochmals den Speakern und Softwareanbietern für Ihre Unterstützung!

Der Workshop „Elektronische Laborbücher“  wurde in Zusammenarbeit von Helmholtz-OpenScience Koordinationsbüro und der Bibliothek des Helmholtz-Zentrums für Infektionsforschung (HZI) vom 13.09. bis 14.09.2018 im HZI (Forum) in Braunschweig durchgeführt (siehe https://os.helmholtz.de/de/bewusstsein-schaerfen/workshops/helmholtz-open-science-workshop-elektronische-laborbuecher/ )

Documentation on the Helmholtz Open Science Workshop „Elektronic Labbook Notebooks (ELN)“

In September 2018, the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig hosted the Helmholtz Open Science Workshop "Electronic Laboratory Books", in which current opportunities for switching from traditional laboratory paper books to electronic devices were discussed (see OpenScience Newsletter 70). But the event did not only deal with questions about the introduction of electronic lab books in scientific laboratories and institutions during the lectures:
On the first day of the workshop, during a demo session with various vendors, the participants were able to test electronic laboratory books on the computer and obtain help in deciding to introduce and select open source software or a commercial product. Throughout the workshop there was a lively exchange and exciting networking between participants from different fields of research and functional areas.

As follow-up to the workshop, an interesting documentation with the abstracts and presentation slides of the contributions is now available (mainly in German) for all interested persons of the Scientific Community and their administration (libraries, computing and data centers ...):
Helmholtz Open Science Workshop "Electronic Laboratory Books", Braunschweig, 13.-14. September 2018. Documentation. Ed. by Paul Schultze-Motel, 2019. Potsdam: Helmholtz Zentrum Potsdam German Research Center for Geosciences - GFZ. https://doi.org/10.2312/os.helmholtz.001

We thank the editors of the documentation for the compilation and the successful design of the documentation and thanks for including it in the current OS-Newsletter 72. We also thank again the speakers and software providers for their support!

DEAL-Vertrag mit Wiley unterzeichnet - Mittwoch, 16. Januar 2019

-------------------

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

zunächst wünschen wir Ihnen ein gutes und gesundes Jahr 2019!

Hier kommt die erste Erfolgsmeldung des Jahres:

https://www.projekt-deal.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/logo_v10-1024x175.png

Heute wird im Rahmen der Konferenz „Academic Publishing Europe“ in Berlin der 1. DEAL-Vertrag mit WILEY unterzeichnet! Der Vertrag läuft vom 15.01.2019 bis zum 31.12.2021.

„Nach einer intensiven Verhandlungsphase über den Jahreswechsel ist es mir eine große Freude, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass im Rahmen des Projekts DEAL ein erster Vertragsabschluss für ein bundesweites Publish&Read-Modell mit dem Verlag Wiley ab 15. Januar 2019 erzielt werden konnte.“ (Prof. Dr. Hippler im HRK-Rundschreiben 2/2019)

Wichtige zugesicherte Eckpunkte samt (Start-)Daten sind:

  • Ab 22.01.2019:     Freischaltung aller berechtigten Teilnehmereinrichtungen für alle WILEY-Zeitschriften (ca. 1.700 Titel), mit Archivzugriff zurück bis 1997!

 

  • 31.03.2019:     Einrichtungen, die teilnehmen wollen, müssen bis zu diesem Termin ihre Beitrittserklärungen bei der MPDL Service GmbH und WILEY abgegeben haben, ansonsten wird die Einrichtung vom freien Zugriff abgeklemmt.

 

  • Ab 01.07.2019:     Alle zur Publikation angenommenen Manuskripte (Stichtag 01.07.2019) mit corresponding authors aus den Teilnehmereinrichtungen werden sofort und kostenlos Open Access veröffentlicht und freigeschaltet (mit CC-BY, nur bei wenigen Zeitschriften mit CC-BY-NC-ND).

 

  • Publikationen in WILEY-Gold-OA-Zeitschriften (WileyOPEN) werden weiterhin individuell abgerechnet, allerdings mit 20% Rabatt auf die Publikationsgebühren. Aufgrund unseres Rahmenvertrages mit WILEY werden diese Gold-OA-Publikationen auch weiterhin aus dem OA-Publikationsfond der Bibliothek bezahlt! Den Autoren entstehen hier also ebenfalls keine Kosten, wie ja bislang auch schon gehandhabt.

Weitere Details können Sie im HRK-Rundschreiben 2/2019 in den FAQ´s zum Vertrag Projekt DEAL/Wiley 2019-2021 finden.

Prof. Dr. Hippler betont: „Wir haben ein Kernziel erreicht: ein faires Preismodell, das es uns ermöglicht, Forschung bezahlbar und nachhaltig zugänglich zu machen. Es ist revolutionär, dass wir diesen Weg zu einer Open-Access-Publikationspraxis gemeinsam mit Wiley gehen. Ich möchte der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft für ihre Unterstützung bei der endgültigen Vertragsunterzeichnung danken.“ (hrk-Pressemitteilung „Wiley und Projekt DEAL unterzeichnen Einigung“, 15.01.2019)
 

--- ENGLISH ---

 

DEAL-contract signed with Wiley

 

Dear colleagues,

 

First of all, we wish you a happy and healthy year 2019!

 

Here comes the first success story of the year:

 

https://www.projekt-deal.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/logo_v10-1024x175.png

Today, the 1st DEAL-contract with WILEY is signed in the context of the conference "Academic Publishing Europe" in Berlin! (The DEAL-contract runs from 15.01.2019 to 31.12.2021.)


"After an intensive negotiation phase at the turn of the year, it is a great pleasure for me to inform you that the DEAL project was able to conclude a first contract for a nationwide Publish & Read model with Wiley as of 15 January 2019." (Prof. Dr. Hippler in HRK Circular letter 2/2019)

 

Important assured key points together with start dates are:

 

  • From 22.01.2019 on: Activation of all authorized participant facilities for all WILEY magazines (about 1.700 titles), with archive access back to 1997!

 

  • 31.03.2019: Institutions wishing to participate must have submitted their membership declarations to MPDL Service GmbH and WILEY by that date, otherwise the institution will be disconnected from free access.

 

  • From 01.07.2019 all manuscripts accepted for publication (deadline 01.07.2019) with corresponding authors from participating institutions will be published immediately and free of charge in Open Access (with CC-BY, only for a few journals with CC-BY-NC-ND).

 

  • Publications in WILEY Gold OA journals (WileyOPEN) will continue to be billed individually, but with a 20% discount on publication fees. Due to our framework agreement with WILEY, these Gold OA publications will continue to be paid out of the library's OA publication fund! The authors are therefore also no costs, as so far already been handled.

 

Further details can be found in the HRK-Rundschreiben 2/2019 in FAQ´s zum Vertrag Projekt DEAL/Wiley 2019-2021 (german).

 

Prof. Dr. Hippler emphasizes: "We have achieved a core goal: a fair pricing model that enables us to make research affordable and sustainable. It's revolutionary that we're joining this path to an open access publishing practice with Wiley. I would like to thank the Max Planck Society for their support in the final signing of the contract.” (hrk-press release “Wiley and Projekt DEAL partner to enhance the future of scholarly research and publishing in Germany“, 15.01.2019)

Twitter-MOOC:

Another course on OpenAccess with a series of tweets is set to be a key feature of International Open Access Week, which runs from 22 to 28 October. A series of tweets will be offering you insights into the mechanisms involved in open access, teaching you about good practices, and offering advice on how to optimize this type of publication. All you have to do is follow the @moocmicro account and the #OAMOOC18 hashtag. The content will be tweeted daily from Monday to Friday (22–26 October) at 12 noon (GMT +1). You can tweet comments or send questions to be answered by the organizers using the same hashtag. This initiative, while particularly useful for researchers and university students, is open to anyone with an interest in this area.

The course will be running for its second time and already has over 600 followers. Its aim is to share the basic ideas and concepts relating to open access, explaining things in straightforward terms and providing an overview of good practices, initiatives, standards and tools for use in the following areas: introduction to open access, RRI and open science, publishing in open access, research data, publishing licences and authors’ rights, and visibility and impact. Resources shared include articles, images and videos, and you can do the course in both Catalan and English.

Predatory Journals – Predatory Publishers – Predatory Conferences - Freitag, 20. Juli 2018

... seien Sie aufmerksam und lassen Sie sich von uns oder anderen Experten beraten

---------------------------------

Liebe Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter,

seit einigen Jahren gibt es im wissenschaftlichen Publikationswesen verstärkt unseriöse Geschäftspraktiken (siehe 1.), wovon sich „die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft [klar] distanziert [...]. Eine aktuelle Recherche von Journalistinnen und Journalisten hat ergeben, dass dennoch einige wenige Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft in solchen "Raubzeitschriften" veröffentlicht haben. [Die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft] ha[t] dieses Ergebnis gegenrecherchiert, wodurch sich die Zahl der Fälle deutlich reduziert hat. Insgesamt sind nach den Recherchen in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft [...] im Zeitraum von 2014 bis 2018 [...] 14 Publikationen in solchen "Zeitschriften" veröffentlicht.“[1]

Die Ergebnisse der Recherche der Recherchekooperation von NDR, WDR und Süddeutsche Zeitung sind seit gestern veröffentlicht (siehe Berichterstattung unten und Doku „Fake Science: Die Lügenmacher“, Montag, 23.07.18, 21:45 Uhr auf ARD), wozu die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft mit einem Standpunkt des Helmholtz-Präsidenten Professor Otmar D. Wiestler und mit den FAQ zum Thema „predatory publishing“ (Helmholtz Open Science Koordinationsbüro) Stellung nimmt.

1. Was bedeutet „predatory publishing“?

„Predatory Journals“ und „Predatory Conference Organisers“ sind negative Erscheinungen des wissenschaftlichen Publikations- und Kommunikationssystems, die in den letzten Jahren zugenommen haben:

Bei „Predatory Journals“/ „fraudulent journals“/ „Raubjournale“ von sogenannten „Predatory Publishers“ handelt es sich um Zeitschriften, die Forschende mit aggressiver Werbung und dem Anschein eines professionellen Auftretens zur Veröffentlichung von Beiträgen gegen Zahlung einer Publikationsgebühr auffordern, jedoch keinerlei oder völlig unzureichende Maßnahmen der Qualitätssicherung organisieren. Diese „Predatory Journals“ wenden zudem unlautere Methoden an, beispielsweise folgende:

  1. die Autoren werden gebeten, die Zeitschriftenartikel des eigenen Journals zu zitieren, um den Impact-Faktor zu erhöhen2

  2. Bezahlung durch den Autor im Vorfeld der Veröffentlichung des Artikels, während ein, vom Predatory Publisher erwähntes Peer Review nicht existiert (Artikel werden ohne Änderungen angenommen) 3

  3. Verwendung gefälschter LinkedIn-Identitäten (o.ä.), um Einreichungen zu gewinnen 4

  4. Sogenannte “special” issues / Sonderhefte: Wissenschaftler werden eingeladen, als Gast-Editor zu fungieren, der gewöhnlich Kollegen einlädt, sich mit Beiträge für diese spezielle Ausgabe beizuteiligen, und alle von ihnen müssen Autorengebühren bezahlen à So fungiert der Gast-Editor als Agent des Verlages, während der Verlag von den professionellen Beziehungen des Gast-Editor profitiert. 5

  5. Manipulation der Zitierstatistiken: Ein fiktiver Autor hat eine Veröffentlichung auf einer institutionellen Webseite hochgeladen, die alle Publikationen einer Forschungsgruppe auflistet, welche dann von GoogleScholar indiziert und somit in GoogleMetrics hinzugefügt wurden, was zu einem bemerkenswerten Anstieg von Zitaten führte6

  6. "kostenloses Mitgliedschaftsmodell" für Institutionen und Nutzung des Namens und Rufs der Institution, um andere anzulocken 7

*Referenzen am Ende der „English Version“, diese Methoden wurden auch schon 2015 in der Newsmeldung „Hijacked Journals and Predatory Publishers“ erwähnt

Ähnliche Aktivitäten verfolgen „Predatory Conference Organisers“, die unseriöse Konferenzen organisieren und Forschende zur Beteiligung und Teilnahme an diesen Veranstaltungen auffordern.

 

Bezüglich der Opfer der unseriösen Geschäftspraktiken mahnt Prof. Wiestler, „[…] dass die Qualität eines wissenschaftlichen Beitrages immer nur auf der Ebene einer einzelnen Publikation bewertet werden kann. Allein die Tatsache, dass ein Beitrag ohne Qualitätssicherung veröffentlicht wurde, heißt noch nicht, dass es sich um einen unwissenschaftlichen Beitrag handelt.“ [1]

 

2. Wie kann man sich gegen das „predatory publishing“ schützen?

Eine Publikationsentscheidung sollte immer eine überlegte und informierte Entscheidung sein. Die Initiative „Think Check Submit“, die durch Verlags- und Bibliotheksverbände unterstützt wird, gibt jedem/r Wissenschaftler/-in eine hilfreiche Checkliste an die Hand (u.a. auch in Deutsch übersetzt). Zentrale Prüfkriterien der Initiative sind beispielsweise:

  • „Kennen Sie oder Ihre Kolleg/innen die Zeitschrift?“

    • „Haben Sie in der Vergangenheit Artikel in der Zeitschrift gelesen?“
      • „Können Sie die aktuellsten Artikel in der Zeitschrift einfach finden?“
    • „Können Sie den Verlag einfach identifizieren und kontaktieren?“
      • „Wird der Verlagsname deutlich auf der Homepage der Zeitschrift angegeben?“
      • „Können Sie den Verlag per Telefon, E-Mail oder Post kontaktieren?“
    • „Macht die Zeitschrift klare Angaben zu ihrem Peer-Review-Verfahren?“
    • „Werden die Artikel in Datenbanken indiziert, die Sie selber nutzen?“
    • „Ist klar, welche Kosten anfallen werden?“
      • „Erläutert die Webseite der Zeitschrift, wofür Zahlungen anfallen und wann diese in Rechnung gestellt werden?“
    • „Erkennen Sie das Editorial Board?“
      • „Haben Sie von den Mitgliedern des Editorial Boards schon einmal gehört?“
      • „Geben die Mitglieder des Boards die Tätigkeit für die Zeitschrift auf ihren eigenen Webseiten an?“
    • „Ist der Verlag Mitglied einer anerkannten Initiative?“
      • „Gehört er dem Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) an?“
      • „Wenn die Zeitschrift Open Access ist: Ist sie im Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) gelistet?“
      • „Wenn die Zeitschrift Open Access ist: Gehört der Verlag der Open Access Scholarly Publishers’ Association (OASPA) an?“
    • Eine vollständigere und kürzlich aktualisierte Checkliste bieten auch wir Ihnen:

      Für Rückfragen und Beratung stehen wir Ihnen jederzeit gerne zur Verfügung: bibliothek(@)helmholtz-hzi.de.

3. Was unternehmen wissenschaftliche Einrichtungen gegen das „predatory publishing“?

Viele wissenschaftliche Einrichtungen, so auch die Zentren der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, haben Publikationsrichtlinien erlassen. In diesen sind Standards wie z. B. Freigabeprozesse für Publikationen festgelegt. Darüber hinaus geben die „Empfehlungen zur Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis“ Leitlinien vor, die sich auch auf den Umgang mit wissenschaftlichen Publikationen erstrecken. Im Kontext von Open Access sind an vielen wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen, so auch an den Helmholtz-Zentren, sogenannte Open-Access-Publikationsfonds entstanden. Diese Fonds liegen in der Verantwortung von Bibliotheken und dienen, über die Mittelverwaltung hinaus, der Steuerung der Transformation hin zu Open Access. Als Leitlinien für den Betrieb dieser Publikationsfonds wurden in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft „Kriterien zum Betrieb von Open-Access-Publikationsfonds“ formuliert. In diesen wird das Thema der Qualitätssicherung an mehreren Stellen adressiert. Unter anderem heißt es dort:

  • „Die Qualität der Zeitschrift muss durch die im jeweiligen Fach anerkannten Qualitätssicherungsverfahren gesichert sein.“

  • „Die Zeitschrift sollte im Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) gelistet sein.“
  • „Falls die Publikation in einem kommerziell arbeitenden Verlag erscheint, sollte dieser Mitglied in der Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) sein und deren Kriterien entsprechen.“

     

Werden diese Leitlinien berücksichtigt, kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit das eine Täuschung durch ein „predatory journal“ eintritt, sehr gering ist. (Weitere Maßnahmen sowie weitere Details in den lesenswerten FAQ zum Thema „predatory publishing“ )

Predatory Journals – Predatory Publishers – Predatory Conferences: be aware and consult us or other experts

 

Dear colleagues,

For some years there has been an increase in dubious business practices in scientific publishing (see 1.), from which "the Helmholtz Association [clearly] distances itself [...]. A recent research by journalists has revealed that nevertheless a few scientists from the Helmholtz Association have published in such "predatory journals". [The Helmholtz Association] has checked the validity of the journalists’ results, which has significantly reduced the number of cases. Altogether, according to the research in the Helmholtz Association [...] in the period from 2014 to 2018, 14 publications in such "journals" have been published. "1

The journalists’ results of the research conducted by a cooperation of NDR, WDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung are published since yesterday (see press coverage below and documentary "Fake Science: The Lie-makers", Monday, 23rd of July, 9.45pm), to which the Helmholtz Association reacted with a statement from Helmholtz President Professor Otmar D. Wiestler and with the FAQ on "Predatory publishing" (Helmholtz Open Science Coordination Office).

 

1. What means „predatory publishing“?

"Predatory Journals" and "Predatory Conference Organizers" are negative phenomena of the scientific publication and communication system, which have increased in recent years:

"Predatory Journals" resp. "fraudulent journals" of “predatory publishers” are journals which encourage researchers with aggressive advertising and an apparently professional appearance to submit papers in exchange for a publication fee, but do not have or only have completely inadequate quality assurance measures. Those predatory journals also apply dishonest methods such as

  1. asking authors to cite the journal articles belonging to the own journal in order to boost its impact factor[1]

  2. payment of the author up front for a paper whereas peer review mentioned by the publisher does not exist (articles will be accepted without any changes)[2]

  3. using faked LinkedIn identities to attract submissions[3]

  4. So-called “special” issues of journals: scientists are invited to act as a guest editor who usually invites colleagues to contribute papers for this special issue, and all of them have to pay author fees à thus the guest editor acts as the publisher’s agent whereas the publisher benefits from the guest editor’s professional relationships.[4]

  5. manipulation of citation statistics: a fictive author did upload a paper referencing all publications of a research group on an institutional website which then was indexed by GoogleScholar and those citations were added by GoogleMetrics that lead to a remarkable rise of citations[5]

  6. “free membership scheme” for institutions and using the name and reputation of the institution to attract others[6]

*References at the end of the "English Version", these methods were already mentioned in 2015 in the newsposting „Hijacked Journals and Predatory Publishers“

 

Similar activities are pursued by "Predatory Conference Organizers" who organize dubious conferences and invite researchers to contribute and participate in these events.

 

Regarding the victims of the dubious business practices, Prof. Wiestler warns, "[...] that the quality of a scientific contribution can only be assessed at the level of a single publication. The mere fact that a contribution was published without quality assurance does not mean that it is an unscientific contribution. " [1]

 

2. How to protect oneself against "predatory publishing"?

A publication decision should always be a deliberate and informed decision. The initiative "Think Check Submit", which is supported by publishing and library associations, provides each scientist with a helpful checklist (as default in English, also translated in German). Key criteria of this initiative include:

  • "Do you or your colleagues know the journal?"

  • "Have you read articles in the journal in the past?"

  • "Can you easily discover the recent articles in the journal?"

  • "Can you easily identify and contact the publisher?"

  • "Is the publisher's name clearly stated on the homepage of the journal?"

  • "Can you contact the publisher by phone, e-mail or post?"

  • "Does the journal provide clear information on its peer review process?"

  • "Are the articles indexed in databases that you use yourself?"

  • "Is it clear what fees will be charged?"

    • "Does the journal site explain what these fees are made for and when they will be charged?"

  • "Do you recognize the Editorial Board?"

    • "Have you ever heard of the Editorial Board members?"

    • "Do the members of the board indicate the activity for the journal on their own websites?"

  • "Is the publisher member of a recognized initiative?"

    • "Does he belong to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)?"

    • "If the journal is Open Access, is it listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)?"

"If the journal is Open Access, does the publisher belong to the Open Access Scholarly Publishers' Association (OASPA)?"

 

We also offer you a more complete and recently updated checklist:

For further questions and support don’t hesitate to contact us: bibliothek(@)helmholtz-hzi.de.

 

3. What do scientific institutions do against "predatory publishing"?

Many scientific institutions, including the centers of the Helmholtz Association, have issued publication rules. These define standards such as release processes for publications. In addition, the "Recommendations for Securing Good Scientific Practice" provide guidelines that also cover the handling of scientific publications. In the context of open access, so-called open access publication funds have been set up at many scientific institutions, including the Helmholtz Centers. These funds are maintained by libraries and serve - beside the financial administration - to steer the transformation towards open access. As guidelines for the operation of these publication funds, the Helmholtz Association formulated "Criteria for the Operation of Open Access Publication Funds" . In these, the topic of quality assurance is addressed in several places. Among other things it says:

  • "The quality of the journal must be ensured by the quality assurance procedures recognized in the respective field.”

  • "The journal should be listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)."

"If the publication appears in a commercial publishing house, that member should be in the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and meet their criteria."

 

If these guidelines are taken into account, it can be assumed that the likelihood of being deceived by a "predatory journal" is very low. (Further measures as well as further details in the readable FAQ on "predatory publishing")

 

If you have any questions about a specific case, you can contact us (bibliothek(@)helmholtz-hzi.de) as usual or the OpenScience coordination office.

Elsevier: Zugriff auf Zeitschriftenartikel des Jahrgangs 2018 abgeschaltet seitens Elsevier - Dienstag, 17. Juli 2018

------------------

Liebe Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter,

der Verlag Elsevier hat im Laufe der letzten Woche die Zugriffe für den IP-Bereich des HZI auf Zeitschriftenartikel des Jahrgangs 2018 auf der ScienceDirect-Plattform blockiert.

Diese Zugangsblockade erfolgte bei allen Universitäts- und Spezialbibliotheken in Deutschland, die sich dem Projekt DEAL angeschlossen haben, also z.B. auch bei der UB der TU Braunschweig. Ursache sind die stagnierenden Verhandlungen zwischen Projekt DEAL und Elsevier. Nähere Informationen zum Verhandlungsstand finden Sie hier.

 

Von dieser Blockade sind nicht betroffen:

1. lizenzierte Zeitschriftenartikel bis Ende 2017

2. Artikel aus lizenzierten Buchserien (z.B. Methods in enzymology) oder Büchern.

 

Wie kommen Sie weiterhin an aktuelle Elsevier-Artikel?

Das erfahren Sie in der detailiierteren Newsmeldung im Intranet.

Für Rückfragen stehen wir Ihnen jederzeit gerne zur Verfügung.

 

---- ENGLISH ---

 

Dear colleagues,

During the last week Elsevier has been blocking access to the 2018th journal articles on ScienceDirect for the HZI IP range.

The blocking is relevant for all German university and special libraries who are involved in the DEAL consortium because of the stagnation of the negotiations. For more information about these negotiations please click here.

 

Which material has not been blocked?

1. Licensed journal articles with publications years until 2017

2. Articles from licensed book series or book chapters

FAQ zum Zweitverwertungsrecht/ZVR - UrhG § 38 Abs. 4 (= Open Access Grüner Weg/ GreenOA) - Mittwoch, 4. Juli 2018

----------------

„Der Urheber eines wissenschaftlichen Beitrags, der im Rahmen einer mindestens zur Hälfte mit öffentlichen Mitteln geförderten Forschungstätigkeit entstanden und in einer periodisch mindestens zweimal jährlich erscheinenden Sammlung erschienen ist, hat auch dann, wenn er dem Verleger oder Herausgeber ein ausschließliches Nutzungsrecht eingeräumt hat, das Recht, den Beitrag nach Ablauf von zwölf Monaten seit der Erstveröffentlichung in der akzeptierten Manuskriptversion öffentlich zugänglich zu machen, soweit dies keinem gewerblichen Zweck dient. Die Quelle der Erstveröffentlichung ist anzugeben. Eine zum Nachteil des Urhebers abweichende Vereinbarung ist unwirksam.“ § 38 Absatz 4 UrhG

 

Das Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht greift im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Interesse der Verlage an einer Erstveröffentlichung und den Bedürfnissen der Wissenschaft die Interessen der Wissenschaftler auf: Für Wissenschaftler ist der Informationsaustausch ein elementarerer Bestandteil der Forschung. Um den fachlichen Diskurs aufrecht zu erhalten und (Weiter-)Entwicklungen zu ermöglichen, ist der Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen notwendig. In diesem Rahmen ist es von immenser Bedeutung, dass Forschungsergebnisse neben der meist kostenpflichtigen Original(Erst-)Veröffentlichung (meist nur mittels Subskription/Lizenz zugänglich) zudem kostenfrei elektronisch zugänglich sind. Nutzen Sie daher Ihr Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht, indem Sie Ihre Publikationen auf http://hzi.openrepository.com/  archivieren lassen und somit international bereitstellen! (nähere Infos auf der Seite „OpenAccess“)

 

Was umfasst das ZVR?

Forschungspublikationen, die mindestens zur Hälfte mit öffentlichen Drittmitteln finanziert sind (Bsp.: DFG- / BMBF-Projekte an Hochschulen & außieruniversitäre Forschungseinrichtungen).

Strittig: Forschungspublikationen,die aus den öffentlichen Grundetats finanziert werden (Bsp. ordentliche Professuren, wissenschaftliches Personal der Lehrstühle und Institute).

Dafür: Bundesrat (Entschließung BR-Drs. 643/13, 5. 2)

        Dagegen: Bundestag (Gesetzesbegründung BT-Drs. 17/13423, S. 14

Welche Publikationen sind genau umfasst?

Aufsätze und wissenschaftliche Beiträge aus Periodika und Sammlungen (z.B. Zeitschriften), die mindestens zweimal jährlich erscheinen.

Wozu bereitstellen nach ZVR? (Verwendungszweck)   

Zu nichtgewerblichen Zwecken.

Verlagsvertrag bindend?

Davon abweichende Vereinbarungen über ausschließliche Nutzungsrechte für Verlage sind nicht wirksam, wenn die gesetzlichen Voraussetzungen des ZVR erfüllt sind: „...Eine zum Nachteil des Urhebers abweichende Vereinbarung ist unwirksam.“ (UrhG § 38 Abs. 4)

Wartefrlst?

1 Jahr ab Erstveröffentlichung.

Wie bereitzustellen?

In akzeptierter Manuskriptversion (accepted manuscript), nicht im Verlagslayout. Zusätzlich muss die Quelle der Erstveröffentlichung angegeben werden.

Rechtsfolge?

Die wissenschaftlichen Autorinnen und Autoren erhalten ein einfaches Nutzungsrecht zur

Zweitveröffentlichung ihres Beitrags im Internet (in Repository z.B. http://hzi.openrepository.com/, Bibliothek, Instituts-Homepage).

 

Prinzipiell gilt für Autoren = Urheber:
Ihr Werk als „persönliche geistige Schöpfung“ (UrhG § 2) ist durch das Urheberrecht geschützt.                    

Dies bedeutet für Sie:

  • Nicht übertragbare Urheberpersönlichkeitsrechte
    insbesondere das Veröffentlichungsrecht (wann und in welcher Form) und ein Namensnennungsrecht stehen Ihnen immer zu.
  • Übertragbare Verwertungs- /Nutzungsrechte
    wie das Vervielfältigungsrecht, Verbreitungsrecht und das Recht der öffentlichen Wiedergabe können weitergegeben werden. Zur Sicherstellung eigener Rechte an online angebotenen Dokumenten können Lizenzmodelle von Creative Commonsgenutzt werden (siehe auch Sciencetools).

Tipp: Es bietet sich an, sog. „einfache“ Nutzungsrechte zu übertragen, dann können Sie parallel dazu selbst das Werk veröffentlichen. (Übertragen Sie „ausschließliche“ Nutzungsrechte an einen Verlag, so darf der Verlag allein darüber verfügen.)

  • Frei verwendbar
    aus Ihrem Werk sind in der Regel Allgemeinwissen, Formeln & Fachbegriffe. Amtliche Werke sowie Werke mit abgelaufener Schutzfrist (in Deutschland 70 Jahre nach Tod des Urhebers) sind grundsätzlich frei.
  • Zitate (UrhG § 51)
    sind als zustimmungsfreies Vervielfältigen, Verbreiten und öffentliches Wiedergeben eines Werkes in einem eigenen Werk in einem durch den Zweck gebotenen Umfang erlaubt (Erläuterung, Veranschaulichung oder Untermauerung, nicht zur reinen Illustration!). Zitate sind zu kennzeichnen und mit einer genauen Quellenabgabe zu versehen, siehe Voraussetzungen-eines-Zitats
  • Kopien (UrhG § 53)

FAQ  for the secondary publication (Zweitverwertungsrecht/ZVR) - UrhG § 38 Abs. 4 (=GreenOA)

"The author of a scholarly contribution, that was created within an at least half publicly funded research and published in a periodical or series appearing at least twice a year, has the right - even if he granted the publisher an exclusive right of use - to make the article publicly available after the expiry of twelve months from the date of its first publication in the accepted version of the manuscript, unless this serves a commercial purpose. The source of the first publication must be indicated. A deviating agreement to the detriment of the author is ineffective. " (unofficial translation of § 38 Absatz 4 UrhG)

 

The secondary publication law intervenes in the field of tension between the publishers' interest in a first publication and the needs of science, the interests of scientists: For scientists, the exchange of information is a more fundamental part of research. In order to maintain the professional discourse and to enable (further) developments, access to scientific results is necessary. In this context, it is of immense importance that research results in addition to the usually paid original (first) publication (accessible usually only by subscription / license) is also accessible electronically free of charge. Use your secondary publishing right by archiving your publications on http://hzi.openrepository.com/ and making them available internationally! (more details on page „OpenAccess“)

 

What does the ZVR include?
Research publications, which are funded at least half by public funding (e.g.: DFG / BMBF projects at universities and non-university research institutions).

Disputed: Research publications that are financed from a public basic budget (e.g. full professorships, academic staff of the chairs and institutes).

For: Bundesrat (Entschließung BR-Drs. 643/13, 5. 2)

Against: Bundestag (Gesetzesbegründung BT-Drs. 17/13423, S. 14)

 

Which publications exactly are included?

Essays and scholarly contributions from periodicals and collections (e.g., journals) appearing at least twice a year.

Why provide after ZVR? (intended use)
For non-commercial purposes.

Binding publishing contract?
Deviating agreements on exclusive rights of use for publishers are not effective if the legal requirements of the ZVR are met: “…A deviating agreement to the detriment of the author is ineffective." (§ 38 Absatz 4 UrhG)

Waiting period?
1 year from first publication.

How to provide?
In accepted manuscript version, not in publisher layout. In addition, the source of the first publication must be specified.

Legal consequence?
The scientific authors are granted a simple right to use the secondary publication of their contribution on the Internet (in repository for example http://hzi.openrepository.com, library, institutional homepage).


In principle the following is true for authors = creators:

Your work as "personal intellectual creation" (UrhG § 2) is protected by copyright.

This means for you:

  • Non-transferable originator's personal rights

in particular the right to publish (when and in what form) and a right of naming the creator

  • Transferable rights of exploitation / use
    such as the reproduction right, distribution right and the right of public communication can be passed on. To secure your own rights to online documents, you can use a Creative Commons license model (see also Science-Tools).
    Tip: It makes sense to transfer a so-called "simple" right of use, then you can publish the work by yourself in parallel. (If you transfer "exclusive" rights of use to a publisher, the publisher has this right alone.)
  • Freely usable
    are generally knowledge, formulas & technical terms from an author’s work. Also official works as well as works with expired protection period (in Germany 70 years after death of the author) are basically free.
  • Quotations (UrhG § 51)
    are permitted as a permission-free reproduction, distribution and public reproduction of a work in a separate work to an extent provided by the purpose (explanation, illustration or underpinning, not for the sake of illustration!). Quotations are to be marked and provided with an exact source tax, see Conditions-to-quote (German)
  • Copies (UrhG § 53)
    for your own private use are generally permitted, but may not be made digitally accessible to the general public.
  • Own scientific research (§ 60c Abs. 2 UrhG)
    for your own scientific research, up to 75% of a work may be reproduced. The transfer is not permitted. Commercial use is excluded. à Overview of uses in the context of § 60c UrhG (German)

 

Effictive date for the new regulation?
The regulation is in force  since 01.01. 2014.
Thus, scientific authors can use their secondary exploitation rights from 01. 01. 2015 on (see above "Waiting period?"), if the other conditions are met.
Incidentally, the interpretation rule of Section 38 (1) and (2) UrhG continues to apply.

Leitlinien zur Affiliationsangabe bei Publikationen zwecks institutioneller Zurechnung - Mittwoch, 16. Mai 2018

----------------------------------------------

Welcher Institution wissenschaftliche Veröffentlichungen zugeordnet werden, hat Einfluss auf:

  1. die Position der Institution in internationalen Rankings und
  2. die institutionelle Forschungsleistung (Publikationsleistung wird beispielsweise bei Fördermittelgebern als mess- und vergleichbarer Indikator der Forschungsleistung eingesetzt.[1]) und
  3. ggf. die leistungsorientierte Mittelvergabe bei fehlerhafter oder unvollständiger Affiliations- und/ oder Autorenangabe

 

Deshalb ist es für Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen wichtig, dass die Zugehörigkeit („Affiliation“) zur jeweiligen Einrichtung von den Autorinnen und Autoren bei einer Publikation korrekt angegeben wird. Die Mitgliederversammlung der Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (HRK) hat hierzu Ende April 2018 eine Empfehlung mit entsprechenden Leitlinien verabschiedet:

 

  • Eine zu benennende institutionelle Zugehörigkeit entsteht grundsätzlich durch ein Arbeitsverhältnis bzw. eine Berufung oder Ernennung – auch als außerplanmäßige/r Professor/in – die Zulassung zu einem Studium sowie durch die Annahme als Doktorand/-in an einer Hochschule.
  • Liegt dauerhaft mehr als eine Affiliation vor, beispielsweise durch eine gemeinsame Berufung oder institutionsübergreifende Promotionsprogramme, sind bei Publikationen und Personenidentifikatoren der Autoren alle entsprechenden Einrichtungen anzugeben.
  • Bei Lehrbeauftragten sowie Stipendiatinnen und Stipendiaten ist die aufnehmende Institution ebenfalls zu nennen, sofern die Publikation mit der Tätigkeit an dieser Einrichtung in unmittelbarem Zusammenhang steht.
  • Bei temporärer Zugehörigkeit zu einer weiteren Institution neben der/den Heimateinrichtung/en kann diese als zusätzliche Affiliation genannt werden, sofern dort substanzielle Forschungsleistungen erbracht wurden. Dies gilt beispielsweise für einen längeren, aber zeitlich begrenzten Forschungsaufenthalt an einer Gastinstitution.
  • Im Falle eines Institutionenwechsels während des Forschungs- und Publikationsprozesses ist in jedem Fall die Einrichtung zu nennen, an der die Forschungsleistung primär erbracht wurde. Fand die Forschungstätigkeit an beiden Einrichtungen zu relevanten Teilen statt, sind beide Einrichtungen zu nennen.
  • Jede Hochschule legt ihre Bezeichnung in deutscher und englischer Sprache eindeutig fest.[2]

 

Hintergrund der Empfehlung ist, dass die Institution durch Autoren häufig nicht benannt wird, wenn Wissenschaftler(innen) mehreren Institutionen angehören. HRK-Präsident Prof. Dr. Hippler erläutert die Problematik folgendermaßen: „Wissenschaftler wechseln während eines Forschungsprojekts die Stelle oder forschen für einen längeren Zeitraum als Gast an einer anderen Einrichtung. Außerdem gehören einige Wissenschaftler dauerhaft mehr als einer Einrichtung an, etwa wenn Hochschulen und außeruniversitäre Forschungseinrichtungen gemeinsam auf eine Professur berufen. Ein anderes Beispiel sind Promotionen, in die neben der promotionsberechtigten Hochschule [/Forschungs-einrichtung] ein weiterer Partner eingebunden ist. Es darf dann nicht passieren, dass die Nennung der Hochschule [/Forschungseinrichtung ...] unter den Tisch fällt.[3] In solchen Fällen sind alle Einrichtungen – korrekt – anzugeben (siehe Empfehlungen oben).

 

Bei einer Analyse von Eva Bunge kam beispielsweise heraus, dass Erst- und Korrespondenz-autorschaft zu zwei Dritteln übereinstimmen, andernfalls aber divergieren oder fehlen, sodass es zu einer Fehlerrate von ca. 5 % kommen kann, wenn in Ermangelung einer Angabe zur Korrespondenzautorschaft die Affiliation der Erstautorschaft ausgewertet wird.[4]

 

Als Autor können Sie sich an den Spezifikationen der Affiliationsangabe am Beispiel der FAU orientieren: https://www.fau.de/files/2013/09/FAU-K-P_Affiliation_Online.pdf

Guidelines for attributing the Affiliation in Publications to allocate Institutional Publications

Which institution is associated with scientific publications has an impact on

  1. the position of the institution in international rankings and
  2. Institutional research performance (Publication performance is used, for example, by grant providers as a measurable and comparable indicator of research performance1) and
  3. maybe the performance-related bonuses (leistungsorientierte Mittelvergabe) in case of incorrect or incomplete affiliation and / or author information

 

Therefore, it is important for universities and research institutions that the affiliation (institution’s name) of the author(s)’s institution(s) is (/are) correctly stated by the author(s) in a publication. At the end of April 2018, the General Assembly of the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) adopted a recommendation with corresponding guidelines:

  • An institutional affiliation (to be attributed) basically arises through an employment relationship or a nomination or appointment - also as an associate professor - admission to a degree course as well as acceptance as a doctoral candidate at a university.
  • If there exist more than one permanent affiliation, such as by a common appeal or cross-institutional doctoral programs then all the relevant institutions have to be stated in publications and the author(s)’s personal identifiers.
  • In case of assistant lecturers and scholarship holders, the host institution must also be mentioned if the publication is directly related to the activity at this institution.
  • If there is a temporary affiliation to another institution besides the home institution(s), this can be cited as additional affiliation, provided substantial research has been done there. This applies, for example, to a longer but limited research stay at a host institution.
  • In case of an institutional change during the research and publication process, the institution in which the research work was primarily performed must always be mentioned. If the research activities at both institutions were to take place in relevant parts, both institutions should be mentioned.
  • Each university clearly defines its name in German and English.2

This recommendation has been developed in the light of the case that the institution is not indicated by authors when they belong to several institutions. HRK President Prof. Dr. med. Hippler explains the problem as follows: "Scientists change positions during a research project or perform research for a longer period as a guest at another institution. In addition, some researchers permanently belong to more than one institution, for example when universities and non-university research institutions jointly call for a professorship. Another example is doctoral theses, in which, in addition to the doctorate-entitled university [/ research institution], another partner is also involved. Then It should not happen that the name of the university [/ research institution ...] is going by the board.”3 In such cases, all facilities must be indicated - correctly (see recommendations above).

For example, via an analysis by Eva Bunge it emerged that first author and correspondence author corresponds to two-thirds, but in other cases were diverging or missing, which might lead to an error rate of approximately 5% if, when in case of the absence of a corresponce author the first author’s affiliation is used in the evaluation.4

As an author you can follow the specifications of the affiliation statement using the example of the FAU: https://www.fau.de/files/2013/09/FAU-K-P_Affiliation_Online.pdf

Reminder: Discover and read Journals/ Journal articles everywhere via BrowZine - Dienstag, 13. März 2018

-------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

there's an easy way to access and read subscribed journals: BrowZine. It works on mobile devices (via App) or on Laptop/ PC (via Browser). More details at https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de/Journals and in the Browzine-Video https://vimeo.com/52663192

When you want to access journals and articles off-campus you normally have to a) authentificate your device as belonging to an HZI member via VPN/connect so that HZI-subscribed content is accessible. Then you have to b) go to EZB Electroniic Journals' Library and choose the journal where the desired article is contained.

(How to use VPN/ connect is described in the guide "connect_remote access to journals and library resources frome off-campus" - available in Intranet > Wissenschaft > Bibliothek > Downloads)

If you open an article off-campus via Pubmed, Google etc. the desired content is blocked - see the difference here:

Article-access via connect as HZI-member vs. as normal internet user

 

 

 

Thus BrowZine is a lot easier. Try Browzine and give feedback on look&feel, usability etc. to us (sch13@...) and spread the word!

To promote BrowZine further the PuK announced it on the HZI-twitter-account @Helmholtz-HZI : https://twitter.com/Helmholtz_HZI/status/973187304977260546

As there is currently running a Thirdiron/ Browzine-campaign we might also win the contest with a bit luck: https://pr.easypromosapp.com/promotions/entries/822445/ So keep the fingers crossed ;-)

 

NEW: SpringerNature Experiments : Discover relevant protocols and methods - Freitag, 2. März 2018

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Springer Nature has launched a new, free-to-use platform, Springer Nature Experiments to help researchers in the life sciences by accessing the relevant protocols and methods to support their research projects.

  1. Content source(s)

Springer Nature publishes one of the largest available collection of protocols and methods for the life sciences with content from SpringerProtocols, Nature Methods, Nature Protocols and Protocol Exchange (the free repository for scientists to share protocols with the scientific community). Springer Nature Experiments provides access to all of these through a single easy-to-use platform, designed to save researchers’ time.

 

  1. Protocols and methods explained

Protocols are “recipes” used in laboratory research to support the design and implementation of reproducible experiments. The step-by-step instruction helps you to recreate an experiment by typically including information on the materials required, equipment and set-up. Methods are new scientific procedures for solving existing problems. Together, these two different types of content are the cornerstone for scientists to successfully conduct their research.

 

  1. Content structure explained

The summary page (e.g. https://experiments.springernature.com/articles/10.1038/nmeth.4104 ) for each protocol and method provides an abstract, version history, figures and videos from the article, and the number of citations the article has received. This information helps you choose the best protocol or method for your work without scanning multiple articles on different sites. When you find one that meet your needs, then click through to the full text, available through HZI Library (if it’s not available via our subscriptions please ask us to get it).

You can evaluate and compare protocols prior to accessing the full-text with the help of protocol landing pages. These summarize key information (e.g. keywords mentioned, article history and citations) which gives you an indication of whether the protocol has been used successfully in other research projects.

 

  1. Artificial Intelligence and text mining technologies for better results

By unique indexing you can quickly find protocols and methods for a particular organism, common and emerging techniques, or videos. The platform uses advanced knowledge models to categorise content based on techniques and organisms – the two most commonly used search categories identified in user research. With the help of artificial intelligence and text mining technologies, these terms are recognised and extracted from the content, enabling you to perform searches and narrow down the results quickly and easily.

 

This announcement is based on https://blogs.ntu.edu.sg/lib-science/2017/10/27/springer-nature-experiments/ & https://sites.tufts.edu/hhslnews/2018/01/02/looking-for-protocols-and-methods-try-springer-nature-experiments/

 

Protocols.io for sharing and discovering science methods - Montag, 29. Januar 2018

----------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

one of the Sciencetools we recently discovered is protocols.io, an open access platform for sharing and discovering science methods:

  • An open access repository for research protocols
  • A protocol editor featuring a rich set of components such as reagents, timers, software packages, datasets and more
  • A collaborative working environment for research groups
  • A platform for running protocols and recording your progress step by step

The key benefits for researchers are:

  • Enter a new protocol or fork an existing protocol
  • Share protocols privately with colleagues or reviewers
  • Get a DOI for your protocol
  • Publish your protocol to make it easily discoverable

We think it's worth to try it out and spread the word ;-)

 

The CEO and co-founder Lenny Teytelman shared more details and his experiences on http://www.zbw-mediatalk.eu, the blog of ZBW Kiel (shared here with friendly permission under Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0
Creative Commons License ).

 

How does protocols.io and its mobile apps work?

Every protocol starts out privately and can be shared with individual collaborators or groups/organizations. When ready, with a click of a button, the author can make the protocol public and share with everyone. The iOS and Android native apps are particularly useful for laboratory hands-on protocols as they make it possible to “run” any private or public protocol, following the instructions step-by-step and keeping track of any changes in the experiment.

 

 

Many of the public protocols are shared when researchers publish research papers, with links to the detailed recipes on protocols.io from the materials and methods sections of their manuscripts. This helps to increase the reproducibility of the published research, reducing the common but unhelpful “contact author for details” or “we used a slightly modified version of the protocol reported in paper XYZ”.

The platform is open access and is both free to read and free to publish. Our business model is based on charging for non-academic private groups and on charging subscriptions to aggregated and anonymized analytics around the use of protocols and reagents inside them.

 

Who (institutes, researchers) does already take part in protocols.io with her or his science methods?

There are 20,000 – 30,000 scientists viewing the public protocols every month, with traffic from 160-170 different countries according to Google Analytics. We have over 2,000 public and 5,000 private protocols, growing at 400-500 new monthly protocols, thanks to the hundreds of journals that now have protocols.io in the author instructions.

protocols.io-groups

Out of the 500 groups on protocols.io, some of the most active communities are marine viral and protist researchers, genomics researchers, plant biologists, and recently researchers participating in the Human Cell Atlas consortium.

 

The story behind protocols.io

Did a repository similar to protocols.io exist before?

The quest for up-to-date research methods resource is at least several decades old. In 1999, Chris Yoo and co-founders started bioprotocol.com with a million-dollar venture capital investment. Unfortunately, that was just before the dot-com bubble burst and the investors liquidated the company. A few years later, researchers created OpenWetWare which is a predecessor to protocols.io, but was also ahead of its time and too hard for non-computational researchers to use. In 2006, Nature Publishing Group launched Protocol Exchange as an open access repository for science methods.

We got started on protocols.io in 2012, learning from the gaps and mistakes of the previous efforts and taking advantage of the new technology of the web and mobile.

 

Who is behind protocols.io?

The co-founders are myself, Alexei Stoliartchouk (CTO), and Irina Makkaveeva (CFO) who have been very close friends since 2003. Part of the seed for the platform is my experience as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT in 2009. I spent the first year and a half, correcting a single step of a previously published protocol in Nature Methods. The crazy part is that this was not a new method/paper but a correction of something previously published. Hence, I had no way of getting credit for my work and everyone else using the technique would either get misleading results or have to waste one-two years rediscovering the correction.

In addition to the founders, there is a team of engineers, designers, outreach, scientists and business professionals helping to improve and grow protocols.io. The funding comes from a core of 10 private angel investors, support from foundations (Moore Foundation, OPP, CZI) and half a thousand backers who believed in us back in 2014 and contributed to our Kickstarter.

 

What barriers do you or the researchers experience?

One of the biggest challenges for any startup like ours is simply lack of awareness about our existence. You can build the most beautiful and free resource for scientists, but if they don’t know about it, it is useless. So outreach and partnerships are critical for increasing visibility and helping scientists to discover protocols.io.

An even bigger barrier is lack of time. Scientists are some of the busiest people on the planet, and finding 20 minutes to enter a protocol from their notebook or MS Word into protocols.io is not trivial for most. This means that there must be clear and strong benefits for researchers to take the time to explore protocols.io and use it to share their knowledge.

 

What will be your next steps?

There are countless aspects of protocols.io that we are eager to improve and many requests from our users are in our development queue. Listening to our users and delivering the features and improvements that they need is one of the most important goals for this and next year.

We are also eager to start on connecting the protocols directly to the devices that the scientists use. Imagine you need to spin your cells for 30 seconds, but the centrifuge is accidentally set for 3 minutes. Our app should be able to connect to the equipment and alert the researcher to the wrong setting, asking if they are sure they want to proceed.

Scopus PDF Download/ Document Download Manager is only working on IE 10 or IE 11 - Dienstag, 17. Oktober 2017

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

please be aware that the PDF Download of articles with its so-called Document Download Manager - which is based on Java - is only possible via Internet Explorer 10 or IE 11 as Java is not supported any more by Firefox, Chrome etc.

The workaround is described in this guide "Scopus PDF Download: How to enable the document download in IE 11"(with screenshots)

There is also currently a minor bug in a recent Scopus update which impacts users with Windows 10 on Internet Explorer 11: the drop-down functions when clicking on the arrow icon (e.g. login) are not working:

Work around:

  • Click on the text, rather than the arrow.
  • Use an alternative browser, i.e. Google Chrome, Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

Elsevier is working on it to fix it (see also https://service.elsevier.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22430/supporthub/scopus/)

 

Best regards

your library team

 

PNAS: Reduced APCs and reduced Open Access-fee for HZI staff members - Mittwoch, 26. Juli 2017

-------------------------------------------------

Wissenschaftler von Institutionen, die am DKFZ-PNAS-Konsortium teilnehmen, bekommen reduzierte APC’s (article processing charges) und eine reduzierte OpenAccess-Gebühr.

PNAS-logoAutoren, die in PNAS publizieren, können mittels einer OpenAccess-Gebühr ihren Artikel sofort allen Lesern frei zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ohne OpenAccess-Option gibt es eine 6-monatige Paywall, in der der Artikel nicht kostenfrei zugänglich ist. Der Standardpreis für das sofortige Open Access beträgt $ 1.450, während der ermäßigte Preis für Autoren von einer Institution mit einer aktiven Website-Lizenz $ 1.100 beträgt (was der Preis für HZI-Mitarbeiter wäre, da HZI ein institutionelles Mitglied des DKFZ-PNAS-Konsortiums ist. Aufgrund der institutionellen Mitgliedschaft hat jeder HZI-Mitarbeiter direkten Zugang zum PNAS-Journal und anderen PNAS-Inhalten.)

Wenn ein Artikel zur Veröffentlichung ausgewählt ist und die Autoren Open Access wählen, wird geprüft, ob die Institution in der Abonnentendatenbank enthalten ist. Ist dies der Fall, wird die reduzierte Open-Access-Gebühr angewendet.

Alle Autoren, unabhängig vom Abonnementstatus ihrer Institution, unterliegen den PNAS Standard-Veröffentlichungsgebühren, die je nach Artikelart, die sie bei der Einreichungsphase wählen, variieren.

Im Folgenden finden Sie einige Seiten, die ihre Möglichkeiten erklären:

Publication fees: http://www.pnas.org/site/authors/procedures.xhtml#fees

Open Access: http://www.pnas.org/site/subscriptions/open-access.xhtml

Herzliche Grüße

Ihre Bibliothek

 

--- ENGLISH ---

Scientists from institutions participating in the DKFZ-PNAS consortium receive reduced APC's (article processing charges) and a reduced OpenAccess-fee.

Authors that publish with PNAS have the option of paying an Open Access fee to make their article immediately available to all readers. Otherwise, there is a 6 month paywall. The standard rate for immediate Open Access is $1,450 while the discounted rate for authors from an institution with an active site license is $1,100 (which would be the price for HZI staff members as HZI is an institutional member of the DKFZ-PNAS-Consortium. As institutional member each HZI staff member has access to the PNAS-journal and other PNAS content).

Lesenswert: Laborjournal-Sommeressays/ worth to read: Laborjournal-summer essays - Mittwoch, 19. Juli 2017

----------------------------------------------------------

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

die Sommerausgabe des Laborjournals umfasst lesenswerte Essays mit interessanten Ideen, kritischen Gedanken und guten Thesen rund um die Welt der biomedizinischen Forschungslandschaft und Wissenschaft allgemein. Auf einige ausgewählte Essays möchten wir nun kurz eingehen:

Stephan Feller eröffnet sein Essay „Jenseits des Hamsterrads“ mit den Worten:           „Was kommt heraus, wenn man mit der Schrotflinte in alle möglichen Ecken des Wissenschaftsbetriebs feuert? Ein Trümmerhaufen. Aber daraus erwachsen auch Verbesserungsvorschläge“. Feller kritisiert die Herangehensweise mancher Wissenschaftler, die kleinste veröffentlichbare Einheit neu zu definieren, um die Paperanzahl zu steigern und Impact-Punkte zu sammeln. Dies ist ein, von der Wissenschaftspolitik selbst geschaffenes Problem, da „leistungsorientierte“ Gehälter über das Einwerben von Fördermittel und ein möglichst hoher Impact definiert werden –ImpactFaktoren, z:b. Journal Impact Factor, CiteScore etc. sind übrigens „Messgrößen, die [..]  alle von kommerziellen Anbietern mit eigener Agenda in ziemlich intransparenter Weise generiert werden und durchaus fehlerbehaftet sind“. (Details in Casadevall A, Fang FC. 2014. Causes for the persistence of impact factor mania. - mBio 5(2):e00064-14. doi:10.1128/mBio.00064-14, Full text.) Feller kritisiert auch die Tendenz zum „Abkürzen“, also das Reduzieren von Kontrollen und das Weglassen relevanter experimenteller Details. Eine weitere Misere ist, dass viele veröffentlichte Forschungsarbeiten teilweise oder komplett unreproduzierbar sind.

Hanno Würbel vertieft in „Die Reproduzierbarkeitskrise und das Missverständnis von der Labormaus als Messinstrument“ das Thema der Reproduzierbarkeitskrise. Würbel betont „Je rigoroser die Versuchsbedingungen standardisiert werden, desto stärker fallen nicht-standardisierte Unterschiede zwischen Wiederholungsversuchen ins Gewicht.“ Weiterhin argumentiert Würbel und belegt dies anhand einer Studie, dass Multi-Labor Studien der unmittelbarste Test für Reproduzierbarkeit sind.

In Science, Fast and Slow beschreibt Ruth Müller, dass Forschung immer schneller neues Wissen publizieren soll und veranschaulicht, wie sich diese Beschleunigung auf das Arbeiten und Denken von Jungwissenschaftlern auswirkt. Beschleunigung  wird besonders im Kontext einer immer stärker an Impact-Metriken orientierten  Bewertungskultur in Forschung und Wissenschaft wahrgenommen. Wie sich dies suf die Arbeits- und Denkweise auswirkt, beschreibt Müller eindrucksvoll in Ihrem Essay, dass auf Ergebnisse einer durchgeführten Studie beruht.

Unser Potsdamer Kollege Heinz Pampel beschreibt in „Open Access – die Transformation gestalten“, wie die Transformation zu OpenAccess entwickelt werden sollten und welche Voraussetzungen innerhalb der Einrichtungen geschaffen werden müssen. Die von Pampel beschriebene OpenAccess-Transformation bringt vielfältige Herausforderungen mit sich, die tief in die institutseigenen Prozesse eingreifen, sodass OpenAccess von allen Beteiligten mitgestaltet werden und auch zur Chefsache werden muss: „So werden zum Beispiel in einem, durch das Geschäftsmodell der APCs [article processing charges] geprägten Open-Access-Publikationssystem die Ausgaben für publikationsstarke Institutionen höher sein als für Einrichtungen, bei denen wenig publiziert wird.“ Pampel beschreibt, welche Bedeutung eigenverlegerische Tätigkeiten zukünftig haben sollten und geht auf einige Praxisbeispiele, unter anderem auch Förderorganisationen, ein. Mit Blick auf das bald anlaufende europäische Forschungsrahmenprogramm FP9 wurde die Diskussion um „responsible metrics and evaluation for open science“ lebhafter und dynamischer: Eine, von der EU-Kommission geschaffene Expertengruppe schlägt vor, auf neue und offene Metriken zu fokussieren, um die Bedeutung des Journal Impact-Faktors zu reduzieren (Details zu Inhalten und Zielen der Expertengruppe hier,Final Report 2017 „Next-generation altmetrics: responsible metrics and evaluation for open science ) Dies verdeutlicht, dass der Wandel hin zu Open Science an immer stärker an Bedeutung gewinnt. Innerhalb der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft arbeitet eine Expertengruppe „Helmholtz Open Science“ an der Gestaltung dieses Prozesses. Die Vorteile von Open Science werden im Positionspapier der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft aufgezeigt: Der offene, das durch wenige finanzielle, technische und rechtliche Hürden behinderte Zugang zu wissenschaftlichen Ergebnissen wie Publikationen, Forschungsdaten und wissenschaftlicher Software

[a]] erweitert die Transparenz,

[b)] verbessert die Verfahren der Qualitätssicherung und 

[c)] erhöht durch eine verbesserte Informationsversorgung die Leistungsfähigkeit der Wissenschaft.

Open Science dient somit auch der Verbesserung der guten wissenschaftlichen Praxis. Darüber hinaus fördert Open Science den Wissenstransfer in Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik.“

Dies ist nur ein kleiner Vorgeschmack auf die Essays (Gesamtübersicht aller deutschen Essays in Tabelle, Website-Übersetzung in Englisch z.B. via http://free-website-translation.com/?de möglich).

Wir wünschen Ihnen noch einen schönen Sommer und viel Spaß beim Lesen –online oder als Printjournal in unserer Zeitschriftenauslage/ Leselounge.

Dear Colleagues,

The summer edition of the Labor Journal includes essays worth reading with interesting ideas, critical thoughts and good theses concerning the world of biomedical research landscape and science in general. We would like to comment on some selected essays:

 

Stephan Feller opens his essay "Beyond the Hamster Wheel" with the words: "What comes out when one shoots with the shotgun in every possible corner of science? A pile of rubble. But this also leads to improvements." Feller criticizes the approach of some scientists to redefine the smallest published unit to increase the number of papers and collect impact points. This is a problem created by science policy itself, since "performance-oriented" salaries are defined by the acquisition of funding and the highest possible impact. Impact factors, e.g. Journal Impact Factor, CiteScore etc. incidentally "[...] are all generated by commercial vendors with their own agenda in a fairly non-transparent way and are quite fault-prone".(Details in Casadevall A, Fang FC. 2014. Causes for the persistence of impact factor mania. - mBio 5(2):e00064-14. doi:10.1128/mBio.00064-14,Full text.) Feller also criticizes the tendency to "cut short", i.e. to reduce control and to omit relevant experimental details. Another misery is that many published research papers are partially or completely unreproducible.

 

Hanno Würbel deepens this issue of the “reproducibility crisis” in "The reproducibility crisis and the misunderstanding of the laboratory mouse as a measuring instrument". Würbel emphasizes "The more rigorously the test conditions are standardized, the more non-standardized differences between repeat tests are important." Furthermore Würbel argues and demonstrates by means of a study that multi-laboratory studies are the most direct test for reproducibility.

 

In "Science, Fast and Slow", Ruth Müller describes that research is to publish new knowledge more and more quickly, and illustrates how this acceleration affects the working and thinking of young scientists. Acceleration is perceived particularly in the context of an evaluation culture increasingly oriented towards impact metrics in research and science. How this affects the working and the way of thinking, Müller describes impressively in her essay that is based on the results of a study carried out.

 

Our colleague in Potsdam, Heinz Pampel, describes in "Open Access - shaping the transformation" how the transformation to OpenAccess should be developed and what pre-conditions have be established within the institutions. The OpenAccess transformation described by Pampel brings with it a wide range of challenges, which deeply interfere with the institute's own processes, so that OpenAccess has to be co-designed by everyone involved and also become a top priority: "For example, in a business model developed by APCs [article Processing charges], the expenditures for institutions that are strong in publication can be higher than for institutions where little is published." Pampel describes the importance of future self-publishing activities and gives current Best practice-examples, including funding organizations. With a view to the upcoming European FP9 research program, the discussion about "responsible metrics and evaluation for open science" became more lively and dynamic. An expert group created by the EU Commission proposes to focus on new and open metrics to reduce the relevance of the Journal Impact Factor (details on the content and objectives of the expert group, Final Report 2017 here). This makes clear that the change to Open Science is ongoing and becomes more and more important. Within the Helmholtz Association an expert group "Helmholtz Open Science" is working on the design of this process. The benefits of Open Science are highlighted in the Helmholtz Association's position paper: "The open, restricted access to scientific results such as publications, research data and scientific software through a few financial, technical and legal hurdles
[a)] extends the transparency,
[b)] improves quality assurance procedures and
[c)] enhances the performance of science through improved information provision.
Open Science also serves to improve good scientific practice. In addition, Open Science promotes knowledge transfer in society, business and politics. "


This is only a small taste of the essays (overview of the essays in German above, in English here, translated by Free-website-translations, which you can also use to translate each essay)

Discover the elements - Montag, 6. März 2017

---------------------------------------

On February 8 was the 183rd birthday of Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, the father of the Periodic Table of the chemical elements. To celebrate the anniversary TED-Ed launched 2014 a clickable periodic table with videos on every element.

This periodic videos contain facts on almost all chemical elements. Moreover, for each element exists a video lesson as well as questions, and additional resources and a discussion board. Thus, students will be able to watch the video and use the TED Ed platform to engage with its content.

The purpose of this period table is to provide students with both a refresher and a study aid to help them better understand the different chemical elements and their properties.”

This interactive periodic table is a fruit of a partnership between TED-Ed and Brady Haran, who is the creator of the YouTube channel Numberphile.

Other useful periodic tables that can be used as chrome extension are described at http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2016/02/3-handy-periodic-tables-for-science.html

 

Of course, we have also books on the elements – for example:

Gray, T.: Die Elemente : Bausteine unserer Welt (shelf number: AC-10 91) – read more on http://www.bausteine-unserer-welt.de/

Ternes, Waldemar: Biochemie der Elemente (shelf number: AC-20 18)

Some tips regarding publishing a journal article - Dienstag, 31. Januar 2017

---------------------------------------------

If you write your very first research paper:

If you write your first research paper this article "How to write your first research paper" (published 2011 in Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine) might be worth to read.

 

If you finished your paper manuscript:

We recommend the following procedure if you want to publish an article:

 

  • select the appropriate journal: 
    • regarding quality: Please check which journal is suitable for you/ your paper. You can select an appropriate journal according to quality criteria that indicate how good a journal is.

Please check if a journal is a high-quality journal and not a fraudulent journal/ hijacked journal - checklist "Clues to quality of journals"

 

 

  • Submit your article: Submit your publication to the journal of your choice. Please indicate in case of an institutional membership (see HZI and OpenAccess) the HZI as a member institution.

 

  • => find the whole recommended approach here

 

When you submitted a paper and got the reviewers' comments:

Almost certainly you'll be required to revise your manuscript at least once before your paper is published. Deborah Lupton - a Centenary Research Professor at University of Canberra - has compiled a list of tips for those of you who have been asked to revise the article: 

  1. Take a deep breath. No-one likes to have their precious writing critiqued, and it can be very easy to feel defensive and annoyed. But remember a condition of academic writing is that we expose ourselves to critique. We must learn to accept this and realise how the review process can help us.
  2. Feel gratitude for the work performed on your behalf by the reviewers and editors. Although you may not like some of their feedback, nearly all (and yes, there are some nasty exceptions) have reviewed your work in the spirit of academic generosity and have taken precious time from their own work to do this. If they have performed the review constructively, they deserve your thanks and appreciation.
  3. See the revision process as a way to make your work the best it can be, and a challenge to push yourself to improve it.
  4. If the editor has given you a decision of ‘revise and resubmit’, always attempt this, however extensive the work required of you. There is a very good chance that if you revise your article competently it will be accepted.
  5. If the editor has rejected your article, acknowledge your inevitable feelings of disappointment and frustration (or even murderous rage!) but then move on. Think about where else you can resubmit it. Consider first the comments made by the reviewers and decide whether you should address some of these before submitting elsewhere to enhance your chances of success next time around.
  6. Bite the bullet. Try not to leave the revisions or submission to another journal too long – it can be easy to keep putting this job off, but it must be done!
  7. If the article has been written with other authors, decide who will take leadership on the revisions. This should usually be the person who led the writing of the original manuscript. The lead author should take on as much of the revision work as they can, and then share the revised version with the other author/s for their contributions and feedback.
  8. Block out a good chunk of time in which you will be able to begin work on the revisions. Choose a time of day if possible at which you know you will be feeling the most mentally alert. There is no denying that you have a demanding task ahead of you.
  9. Don’t rush things. Take as much time as you need to complete it properly.
  10. Now that you are mentally prepared … go back and read your submitted manuscript. You will most likely have forgotten most of what you wrote and this is a good chance to read it with fresh eyes.
  11. Then go back to the email from the journal editors with the reviewers’ comments. Copy and paste the reviewers’ comments in to a new Word document. Then go through and isolate each comment which suggests or requests a revision. Then read each comment carefully.
  12. Start to go through your original manuscript and begin addressing those points you think require revisions. It is often easiest to address the minor revisions first. In your ‘response to reviewers’ document, write your responses under each separate point as you go. Your response should explain the changes you have made. If you disagree with a suggested change, you are entirely within your rights to state this and explain why.
  13. Highlight changes in your manuscript with bold or coloured highlighting so that the editor and reviewers can easily see where you added or significantly altered material. Don’t use the track changes function (unless this has been specifically requested by the editor), as track changes can leave the manuscript looking very messy and difficult to read.
  14. Once you think you have conducted the revisions to the best of your ability, put the revised version aside for at least a day. Come back to it and read it through again. Read your ‘response to reviewers’ document again. Make any further changes you deem necessary.
  15. Take another deep breath … and resubmit your article. Good luck!

Have fun and success while using Britannica! We would like to have your feedback regarding Britannica.

 

Britannica vs. Wikipedia:

Some studies seem to show that Wikipedia is not as accurate as expert-based encyclopedia such as Britannica. For instance, Zhu and Greenstein found out that Wikipedia’s articles are more biased in political terms than Britannica —with 73 percent of them containing code words, compared to just 34 percent in Britannica. They also found out that the more times an article is revised on Wikipedia, the less bias it is likely to show. But that effect needs 2000 edits at least. Related to accuracy Holman Rector found out via content analysis that there are inaccuracies in nearly all Wikipedia studied articles (8 of the 9 selected) and exposed some major (in at least 2 of the 9 selected Wikipedia articles). Overall, Wikipedia's accuracy rate was 80 percent compared with 95‐96 percent accuracy within the other sources. The research history regarding the value of Wikipedia content is described by Niederer and van Dijck. In short, Wikipedia should not be the sole source of information and if Wikipedia content is used the exact version of the Wikipedia-article should be cited (via click on tab “Versionsgeschichte/ view history”, more at   “Zitieren von Internetquellen” current version dated 17. November 2016, visited at 13. December 2016).

Digitale Forschungsdaten offen zugänglich machen (Presseinformation Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft) - Donnerstag, 13. Oktober 2016

----

Die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft hat am 12.10.2016 folgende Pressemitteilung veröffentlicht:

Digitale Forschungsdaten offen zugänglich machen

Die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft legt ein Positionspapier zum Umgang mit Forschungsdaten vor. Darüber hinaus fördert sie mit der Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF) die Entwicklung einer international vernetzten Forschungsdateninfrastruktur und tritt der internationalen Initiative Research Data Alliance (RDA) bei.

Der offene Zugang zu Forschungsdaten eröffnet der Wissenschaft ein großes Potenzial. Die Vernetzung digitaler Datensammlungen ermöglicht neue Ansätze zur Beantwortung drängender Forschungsfragen. Um den „Datenschatz“ nutzen zu können, sind verlässliche und vertrauenswürdige Informationsinfrastrukturen für die längerfristige Speicherung und den Austausch der stetig wachsenden Datenmengen notwendig.

Unter dem Titel „Die Ressource Information besser nutzbar machen!“ hat die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft jetzt ein Positionspapier zum Umgang mit Forschungsdaten verabschiedet. „Mit dem Positionspapier betonen die Helmholtz-Zentren ihre Bereitschaft, Forschungsdaten in geeigneten Dateninfrastrukturen langfristig zu bewahren und zur Nachnutzung für Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft so offen wie möglich zugänglich zu machen“, sagt Otmar D. Wiestler, Präsident der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft. Hierzu soll auch die Forschung im informationstechnischen Bereich vorangetrieben werden, um Informationsinfrastrukturen für das Forschungsdatenmanagement auszubauen und verstärkt zu betreiben.  

Mit dieser Positionierung unterstützt die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft auch die Entstehung einer Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI), wie sie der von Bund und Ländern eingesetzte Rat für Informationsinfrastrukturen (RfII) vorschlägt.

„Die Helmholtz-Zentren betreiben einzigartige und für die Forschung bedeutsame Informationsinfrastrukturen, die von Wissenschaftlern weltweit in ihren Arbeiten genutzt werden. Wir stehen nun vor der  Herausforderung, Forschungsdaten über Organisations- und Disziplinengrenzen hinweg problemorientiert zu aggregieren und übergreifend zu nutzen“, sagt Wolfgang Marquardt, Vorstandsvorsitzender des Forschungszentrums Jülich und Vizepräsident der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft.

Bereits jetzt wird mit der Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF) unter der Koordination des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) eine Dateninfrastruktur aufgebaut, die das Forschungsdatenmanagement im Big-Data-Bereich verbessern wird. Die HDF stellt eine Keimzelle für eine nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) dar, die offen für Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler im gesamten deutschen Wissenschaftssystem ist und kompatibel mit der zukünftigen European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) sein wird.

Um die Abstimmung auf internationaler Ebene weiter zu fördern, ist die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft nun der Research Data Alliance (RDA) beigetreten. Als internationales Forum für den Dialog über Archivierung, Standardisierung, Zugänglichmachung und Nutzung von Forschungsdaten bietet die RDA eine weltweit einmalige multidisziplinäre Plattform zur Abstimmung über den Aufbau einer international vernetzten Forschungsdateninfrastruktur. Bereits zum dritten Mal wird vom 28. bis 29. November 2016 am Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam – Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ die jährliche Konferenz der deutschen Sektion der RDA stattfinden. Ein klares Zeichen dafür, wie sehr sich die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft in diesem Bereich engagiert.

Diese Aktivitäten entsprechen der wachsenden wissenschaftspolitischen Bedeutung von Open Science. Anliegen von Open Science ist es, den Informationsaustausch innerhalb der Wissenschaft und den Transfer der Ergebnisse in die Gesellschaft unter Nutzung des Internets zu fördern. „Wir begrüßen die jüngst vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung vorgelegte Open-Access-Strategie und werden unsere Aktivitäten zur Verbesserung der Zugänglichkeit von Forschungsergebnissen weiter intensivieren“, sagt Wiestler.

Die Helmholtz Data Federation

Koordiniert durch das Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) hat die Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft mit der Realisierung der Forschungsdateninfrastruktur Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF) begonnen. Durch den sicheren Zusammenschluss (Föderation) und Ausbau von multi-thematischen Datenzentren wird die HDF es daten-intensiven Wissenschafts-Communities ermöglichen, wissenschaftliche Daten zu finden, unter Beibehaltung der Datenhoheit zu teilen, über Disziplingrenzen hinweg zu nutzen und zuverlässig zu archivieren. Die Föderation basiert auf drei Kernelementen: innovative Software für das Forschungsdatenmanagement, exzellente Benutzerunterstützung und topaktuelle Speicher- und Analyse-Hardware. Partner in der ersten Phase sind 6 Zentren aus 5 Forschungsbereichen: Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung (Erde und Umwelt), Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY und GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung (beide Materie), Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (Gesundheit), Forschungszentrum Jülich und Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (beide Energie, Schlüsseltechnologien, Materie, Erde und Umwelt). Die HDF stellt eine Keimzelle für eine Wissenschaftsorganisationen-übergreifende nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) dar, die offen für Nutzer im gesamten deutschen Wissenschaftssystem ist und durch internationale Verbindungen kompatibel mit der zukünftigen European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) sein wird.“

The Helmholtz Association published yesterday the following press release:

 

Open up digital research data

The Helmholtz Association provides a position paper on the handling of research data. Fuirthermore it supports the development of an internationally networked research data infrastructure with the Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF) and contributes to the international Research Data Alliance (RDA) initiative.

Open access to research data opens up great potential for science. The networking of digital data collections allows new approaches to answer urgent research questions. In order to be able to use the "data treasure", reliable and trustworthy information infrastructures are necessary for the long-term storage and the exchange of the constantly growing data volumes.

The Helmholtz Association has now approved a position paper with the title "Make the resource more useful" on how to deal with research data. "With this position paper the Helmholtz Centers emphasize their willingness to preserve research data in suitable data infrastructures in the long term and to make them accessible to science and society as openly as possible," said Otmar D. Wiestler, President of the Helmholtz Association. To further this, research in the field of information technology is also to be pursued in order to expand and intensify information infrastructures for research data management.

With this positioning, the Helmholtz Association is also supporting the creation of a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), as proposed by the German Information and Infrastructure Council (RfII).

"The Helmholtz Centers operate unique and relevant information infrastructures that are used by scientists worldwide in their work. We are now faced with the challenge of aggregating and exploiting research data across organizational and discipline boundaries”, says Wolfgang Marquardt, Chairman of the Research Center at Jülich and vice-president of the Helmholtz Association.

With the Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF) under the coordination of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), a data infrastructure will be set up to improve research data management in the area of big data. The HDF is a germ cell for a national research data infrastructure (NFDI), which is open to scientists throughout the German scientific system and will be compatible with the future European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

In order to further promote international coordination, the Helmholtz Association has now joined the Research Data Alliance (RDA). As an international forum for dialogue on archiving, standardization, access and use of research data, RDA offers a multidisciplinary platform for the coordination of international networked research data infrastructure. The annual conference of the German section of the RDA will take place for the third time from 28 to 29 November 2016 at the Helmholtz Center Potsdam – GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ which is a clear indication of how much the Helmholtz Association is engaged in this area.

These activities correspond with the growing scientific-political significance of Open Science. OpenScience's mission is to promote the exchange of information within science and the transfer of results to society through the use of the Internet. "We welcome the recently presented open access strategy of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and will further intensify our activities to improve the accessibility of research results," says Wiestler.

The Helmholtz Data Federation
Coordinated by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Helmholtz Association has begun to implement the research data infrastructure Helmholtz Data Federation (HDF). Through the secure federation and expansion of multi-thematic data centers, the HDF will enable data-intensive communities to find scientific data, share data, maintain discretion, and reliably archive. The federation is based on three core elements: innovative software for research data management, excellent user support and state-of-the-art storage and analysis hardware. Partners in the first phase are 6 centers from five research areas: Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (Earth and Environment), German Electron Synchrotron DESY and GSI Helmholtz Center for Heavy Ion Research (both: matter), German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) , Forschungszentrum Jülich and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (both energy, key technologies, matter, earth and environment). The HDF is a keystone for an across national research data infrastructure (NFDI), which is open to users across the entire German scientific system and will be compatible with the future European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) through international connections.

Internet Archive turned 20 – its services and how it operates - Mittwoch, 21. September 2016

------------------

The Internet Archive was founded 20 years ago to permanently save to make available  web pages, text, pictures, audio and video, videogames and software.  The most helpful service in our opinion is the Wayback machine (also listed in Science-tools): The average lifespan of webpages is 100days before they change or disappear. So, if a URL doesn’t work or if you want to see a previous version you can enter the URL to view archived versions of webpages. The collection includes currently 505 billion web resources.

To meet a funder’s OA Policy put your papers in an OA repository rather than on a social network - Donnerstag, 11. August 2016

-----------------

“I make my papers available in Researchgate: Is that enough to meet the funder’s OA policy?”

Such questions were asked more or less often over the past years. To better understand the differences of these platforms and when to use which one we want to clarify the differences and will summarize the advantages of Open Access repositories.

But first, here comes a short primer on what each service has to offer:

Social Networks (Researchgate, Mendeley..)

Open Access repositories

 

Social networks for scientists such as (Researchgate, Mendeley, Academia

  • connect researchers with common interests.
  • The researchers create profiles and are able
    • to list their publications and other scholarly activities,
    • upload copies of manuscripts they’ve authored (authors should check the publisher’s rules before doing that),
    • and build connections with scholars they work or co-author with.
  • Researchers can also discuss specific topics or publications.

 

  1. Institutional repositories (IRs): are generally library-run portals that enable authors to upload a version of their manuscripts for public “open access” display. UC’s is called eScholarship. The primary aim of institutional repositories is to make the scholarly outputs of the university as widely available as possible and to ensure long-term preservation of these outputs.
  2. Subject-based repositories:  are collecting publications in a particular discipline or a range of disciplines, so that authors in a field can share and solicit feedback on their work from colleagues in that research field (e.g. Genbank)

 

Now let’s take a closer look at some major differences between these two kinds of services:

Openness and interoperability:

Researchers already using ResearchGate or Academia.edu might ask why they should use a repository operated by the library instead (or as well), or alternatively: Why can’t the library just take the information from ResearchGate or Academia.edu and use that fill the institutional repository?

The answer is simple: ResearchGate and Academia.edu do not permit to take the own data and reuse it elsewhere, nor do their terms of service permit the library to extract that data on the authors’ behalf.

  • ResearchGate: “Users must not misuse the Service. Misuse of the Service includes, without limitation: … automated or massive manual retrieval of other Users’ profile data (‘data harvesting’).”
  • Academia.edu: “You agree not to do any of the following: … Attempt to access or search the Site, … through the use of any engine, software, tool, agent, device or mechanism (including spiders, robots, crawlers, data mining tools or the like).”

Interestingly, ResearchGate permits you to import publications from other applications, but provides no method for exporting the same data out of  ResearchGate (well, not without some creative acrobatics). Similarly, Academia.edu previously supported import, but now makes it impossible to bring data in or out of their system.

In contrast, institutional repositories are largely committed to complete openness and re-use of data.

These kinds of activities make open access repositories good places for publications you want people to be able to find.

Some IRs also offer APIs that further expand what researchers can do with the publication data they provide. ResearchGate previously discussed offering an API so that the data they collect could help foster open science, but over two years after announcing this intention, no progress seems to have been made.

 

The University of California has published a table that summarizes the main differences:

 
 

 

What is important for you?

1)  Support for harvesting:

The content of our repository HZI Open Repository is harvested by several search engines which relates to:

Your publications can be found by search requests on Google scholar and other commonly used literature search plattforms.

Furthermore, you can easily export the publications of your working group or department to Mendeley or EndNote and other reference managing tools.

 

2) Long term preservation:

Open access repositories are usually managed by universities, government agencies, or nonprofit associations. Affiliation with a larger institution (with a public service mission) means that repositories are likely to be around for a long time. They often employ librarians and data specialists who specialize in ensuring long term archiving. In case of HZI OpenRepository the HZI Library makes sure that your publication and related content can still be found in it's place in the repository years after the archival. To meet specific repository standards we also created a Policy which begins with the following preamble:

“The  HZI OpenRepository is maintained by the HZI library to allow free access to publications of HZI to other scientists and the interested public worldwide. The HZI Library has undertaken the task of ingesting, indexing, enriching and making publications and its metadata available in collections related to each of the scientific groups of the centres.”

To ensure long-term preservation “… we include and meet quality standards e.g. via adding the publications in PDF/A-1. Furthermore HZI Library, the repository’s administrator, adds additional metadata (e.g. Pubmed-ID, author-ID) via a metadata entry mask and links the repository’s currently inserted item to the publisher via DOI and as well as to the research group. “

So, all in all, this is a non-profit service of your HZI library which will be permanently optimized.

 

3) Business model:

Social networks are mostly run by commercial enterprises. When they are bought by another company there is no warranty that your data and content stays where it currently is or even at all or whether service will be for free any longer.

  • Academia.edu “reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to discontinue or terminate the Site and Services and to terminate these Terms, at any time and without prior notice.”
  • ResearchGate “reserves the right to change, reduce, interrupt or discontinue the Service or parts of it at any time.”

4) Email advertisements:

Unlike from the commercial plattforms you will never get any unsolicited mails from the HZI Open Repository or another institutional or subject-based repository.

 

5) Addresses and contacts:

HZI Open Repository or another institutional or subject-based repository will never ask for your private address book or contacts (usually used to usher your friends/colleagues to sign up up to their service)

 

6) Compliance with Open Access Policies

In the table above the University of California is taken as one example for compliance with their Open Access Policy.

In addition to also being compliant with the Helmholtz Open Access strategy, the HZI Open Repository is complaint with Open Aire, hte EU's central registry of Open Access publications derived from European research funding.

 

Are your papers in HZI Open Repository? Not? Check out the services provided.

If you’re not already using HZI OpenRepository or another open access repository, take a few minutes to check out the services available to you, at no charge, from organizations who offer similar tools for broadening access to your publications, but who have no interest in making a profit from your work.

 

This announcement is based on the posting of University of California: “A social networking site is not an open access repository”

GI identifiers + NCBl webinars on changes: GI identifierswill no longer appear in GenBank & Co. - Montag, 18. Juli 2016

----------------------------------------------------
Dear colleagues (to whom it may concern),

The integer sequence identifiers known as "GIs" will no longer be included - from September on - in the GenBank, GenPept, and FASTA formats supported by NCBI for sequence records. The FASTA header will be further simplified to report only the sequence accession.version and record title for accessions managed by the International Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) and NCBI’s Reference Sequence (RefSeq) project. As NCBI makes this transition, we encourage any users who have workflows that depend on GI's to begin planning to use accession.version identifiers instead. After September 2016, any processes solely dependent on GIs will no longer function as expected.
(More details can be found in NCBL’s announcement: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/news/03-02-2016-phase-out-of-GI-numbers/ )

**Note from the NCBI LinkOut team** - If you use in your LinkOut file for Nucleotide, EST, GSS and Protein, you should switch to use accession number with in your LinkOut files. Please send your question about this change in your LinkOut files to linkout@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

July 20th NCBI Minute: Important Changes Coming to Sequence Databases

In this Wednesday's NCBI Minute, NCBI staff will describe upcoming changes to sequence records. Starting this September, GI identifiers will no longer appear on GenBank and FASTA record views; we will discuss the details and consequences of this change, along with the future of existing GI identifiers.
Date and time: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 12:00 PM EDT

Preprints : publish your papers and search for preprints of others via search.bioPreprint - Dienstag, 28. Juni 2016

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As stated in the Science-article “Preprints for the life sciences“ preprint servers such as arxiv.org and bioRxiv.org enable the direct and open delivery of new knowledge and concepts to the scientific community before traditional validation through peer review. For example, for physicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists the preprint server arXiv.org has been essential for over two decades whereas in biology preprints are currently used minimally - although there is the pendant bioRxiv.org which is structured by subject area (e.g. Cell Biology) and which you can also “view by month”.

Articles in bioRxiv.org are categorized (see “about bioRxiv”) as New Results (describe an advance in a field), Confirmatory Results (largely replicate and confirm previously published work), or Contradictory Results (largely replicate experimental approaches used in previously published work but the results contradict and/or do not support it). - Details regarding submission can be found here.

While the number of articles submitted to preprint serves are constantly rising it has not been easy to identify biomedical research published in preprint format as there are normally not indexed. That’s why the Health Sciences Library System at the University of Pittsburgh created search.bioPreprint which compiles preprint articles from disparate host repositories. Thus search.bioPreprint is a one-stop-shop for finding these types of articles because preprints are not indexed in Medline and therefore do not appear in Pubmed search results. Therefore, ”many timely and relevant research reports fall through the cracks, as the time it takes to traditionally publish a biomedical manuscript can take [months or] a few years.” (Iwema et al.)

Additionally to search.bioPreprint, a web application has been developed which bolsters the discovery of preprint articles by enabling each word or phrase appearing on any website to be integrated with articles from preprint servers.

 

Quality aspects of preprints

Although preprint manuscripts are not copyedited, a basic screening process is performed to check against plagiarism, offensiveness, and non-scientific content. Revisions by authors are possible at any point but all versions remain available.

 

Tools to search Preprint servers

Search.bioPreprint was created using IBM Watson Explorer to generate a meta search engine that compiles search term results from a pre-selected list of multiple sources into a single list ordered by the relevance of matching query terms. The following preprint servers are searched:

  • arxiv.org (funded by Cornell University Library, the Simons Foundation and member institutions): venerable preprint server  covering physics, mathematics, computer science, nonlinear sciences, statistics, and quantitative biology since 1991 - thus it has been essential for physicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists the preprint server arXiv.org for over two decades

  • bioRxiv.org (operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory): covers new, confirmatory or contradictory results in research ranging from Animal behavior and Cognition to Clinical Trials, Neuroscience to Zoology.
  • F1000Research (member of Science Navigation Group): provides an open science platform for the immediate publication of scientific communication. Articles with associated source data are published within a week and open for open peer review and user commenting (posters and slides receive a DOI/ digital object identifier (see above) and are instantly citable).
  • PeerJPreprints: the preprint server of the open access peer-reviewed scientific mega journal PeerJ covering research in biology, life sciences, medical sciences and computer sciences. Their aim is to reduce costs while still efficiently publishing innovative research. Submissions are free, can be a draft, incomplete, or the final version, and are typically online within a day after editorial approval.http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/052563).

 

Another tool for searching preprints is PrePubMed,

which despite appearances is not an official resource from the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), or PubMed. We want to mention this resource, but search.bioPreprint offers not only full text searching, but also topical and source-based clustering of results.

However, as PrePubMed’s developer argues search.bioPreprintis limited in how many results they will return and don't sort the articles by date, which makes it difficult to identify the most recent work related to your query. Another problem is they don't auto-identify author names, so searching for an author with a common name will return a lot of spurious results” (Jordan, 2016).

Elsevier: verzichtet auf Anfrage auf Exklusivrechte (Abb.)/ waives exclusive rights (fig) on request - Donnerstag, 23. Juni 2016

---------------

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Elsevier ist auf Anfrage (beim Einreichen eines Papers) bereit, auf Exklusiv-Rechte bei Bildern oder Figures etc. zu verzichten.
Die, im Intranet angehangene "Short License" haben Autoren beispielsweise des DESY schon einige Male beim Einreichen ihres Manuskripts angefordert. Solch eine „Short Licence“ führt dazu, dass die Autoren die Rechte an "Figures und Pictures" dauerhaft behalten.
Elsevier erhält nur "non-exclusive licence to include the material ... in ...[the] Publications…". Andernfalls müssten Sie für jede spezielle Nachnutzung/ Wiederverwendung (in Präsentationen, auf Webseiten etc.) die Rechte –meist kostenpflichtig – für diese bestimmte Nutzung zurück erwerben. Diese Rechtelizenz und der Verwendungszweck wäre dann auch zu dokumentieren.

Falls Sie Abbildungen, Bilder etc. irgendwann wiederverwenden möchten, stellen Sie einen Antrag beim Einreichen des Manuskripts. Sinnvoll ist dies beispielsweise, wenn Sie neben dem Einstellen in die Publikationsdatenbank/ HZI OpenRepository nach Prüfung der Rechte via SHERPA/RoMEO-Liste die Abbildungen bzw. den Artikel in andere Portale wie beispielsweise Researchgate (Beispiel) einstellen wollen. Details zu den rechtlichen Aspekten finden Sie in den FAQ zum Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht / ZVR (UrhG § 38 Abs. 4), herausgegeben von der Schwerpunktinitiative „Digitale Information“ der Allianz der deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen.

Die Short license kann formlos über oxfordcopyrights@elsevier.com  angefordert werden. Ein Beispiel der "Short licence" können Sie in der gleichnamigen Newsmeldung im Intranet einsehen.

Dear colleagues,

Elsevier is up to waive exclusive rights for images or figures etc. on request (when submitting a paper).
For example, authors of DESY requested such a "Short License" (see attached in Intranet) when submitting a manuscript. Such a "Short Licence" means that the author retains permanently the rights to figures and pictures: Elsevier receives only "non-exclusive license to include the material in ... [the] Publication ...”. Otherwise, you are obliged to reacquire (mostly financially) the rights for any particular re-use (in presentations, on websites etc.). These rights license/ licence agreement and the specific re-use has to be documented.
If you want to reuse images etc. sometime, you should make at best a request when submitting the manuscript. This is useful, for example, if you - in addition to the integration into the publication database / HZI OpenRepository - want to include pictures and/ or the paper in other portals such as ResearchGate (example) Before, please check the rights via SHERPA / RoMEO list. Details on the legal aspect can be found in the FAQs about the so-called Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht / ZVR (UrhG § 38 Abs. 4) published by the focus initiative "Digitale Information".

The “short license” can be requested informally via oxfordcopyrights@elsevier.com. You can see an example of the "short licence" in Intranet attached to this news-posting of the title.

WICHTIG: 13.6.-20.6. Unterbrechungen bei Bibliotheksportal (WWW), -Katalog sowie -account - Mittwoch, 1. Juni 2016

(english below)File:Maintenance-time.svg

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

zwischen dem 13.6. und 20.6. wurde unsere Bibliothekssoftware auf einen anderen Server umgezogen und unser Bibliotheksportal hat nun folgende URL: https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de. (Geäußert hat sich das am Wochenende nur dadurch, dass der Bibliothekskatalog und die Kontofunktionen nicht zur Verfügung standen)

Ziel war eine verbesserte Performance, eine bessere Verfügbarkeit, mehr Sicherheit und zukünftig erweiterte Funktionen.

Zeitlicher Ablauf des Serverumzugs:

13.6. – 17.6. (12 Uhr): Die technische Bibliotheksinfrastruktur ist wie gewohnt nutzbar, kurzfristige Unterbrechungen sind möglich, da die Software-Produkte im Hintergrund umgezogen werden.

17.6. (12 Uhr) – 19.6.: Es ist kein Arbeiten mit den Produkten (Webseiten, Bibliothekskatalog + Bibliothekskonten) an diesem Wochenende möglich, da alle Produkte offline genommen werden und unser Provider alle Datenbanken umzieht.

20.6.(12 Uhr): Alle Systeme sind wieder online.

 

Bibliotheksportal/ Webseiten im WWW (inklusive Bibliothekskatalog):

Um mehr Sicherheit und Datenschutz zu erlangen, wurde ab dem 20.6. die komplette Kommunikation auf HTTPS umgestellt. Hierbei hat sich auch unsere URL verändert zu https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de. Als Alias-URL kann auch https://bibliothek.helmholtz-hzi.de genutzt werden.

Bitte teilen Sie uns mit, falls Verlinkungen ab dem 20.6. noch nicht aktualisiert sind.

Um den Ausfall gering zu halten, findet der eigentliche Serverumzug am Wochenende (17.6.-19.6.) statt. Aus diesem Grund steht am Wochenende der Bibliothekskatalog und die Katalogfunktionen nicht zur Verfügung

Bibliothek im Intranet (> Wissenschaft > Bibliothek)

Gespiegelte Webseiten vom Internet und Links zu Inhalten im Internet werden nicht zugänglich sein.

Wie Sie uns bei dem Serverumzug unterstützen können?

Bitte teilen Sie uns auftretende Probleme mit. Bezüglich Links zu unseren Seiten informieren Sie uns bitte ab dem 20.6., falls Verlinkungen noch nicht auf die neue URL https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de verweisen.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung.

Herzliche Grüße,

Ihre Bibliothek

IMPORTANT: 13.6.-20.6. Interruptions in Library Portal (WWW) and the library catalog and user accounts due to server relocation

Dear colleagues,

between the 13.June and 20.June our library software moved to another server. The goals were enhanced performance, better availability, more security and more advanced features in the future. (The relocation was only noticible on that weekend as the library catalog and account features were not available)

Time schedule of the server relocation:

13.6. - 17.6. (12 p.m.): The technical library infrastructure is available as usual but short interruptions are possible because the software products are moved in the background.
17.6. (12 p.m.) - 19.6.: This weekend no usage of  the library products (library portal, library catalog + library accounts) this weekend possible, because all products are taken offline and our provider moves all databases.
20.6. (12 p.m.): All systems are back online.

 

Library Portal / websites on the internet (including the library catalog):

To gain more security and privacy, the complete web communication is converted from 20th June onwards to HTTPS. Hence, our URL will also change to https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de  (from 20.6. onwards). Alternatively, the alias-URL https://bibliothek.helmholtz-hzi.de  can also be used (from 20.6. onwards after we reconfigured the IP-addresses).
Please let us know if specific links from 20.6. onwards are not working.
To keep the shortfall low the actual server migration will be done on the weekend from 17.6. to 19.6.2016.

Library in Intranet (> Wissenschaft > Bibliothek)

Mirrored webpages from our internet pages and links to our web content won't be available as well.



How can you assist us during the server migration?

Please let us know when you are confronted with a specific problem.

Regarding links to our pages please inform us from the 20. June onwards if links do not point to the new URL https://helmholtz-hzi.bibliotheca-open.de (working from 20. June onwards).


Thank you for your support and your patience.

 

Best regards,

your library team

 

MSF Scientific Days (20. & 21. May) - register to watch online - Mittwoch, 18. Mai 2016

--------------------------------

Dear colleagues,
on 20th and 21st May the conference without borders, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Scientific Days takes place. The entire conference will be streamed live online in both English and French so that you are able to watch it after you registered for it.

Paul Simpson, Deputy of PLOS Medicine is looking forward to the conference and explains it as follows:

"The conference often serves as a bellwether and I’ve reflected many times over the last two years on a 2014 late-breaker talk by Armand Sprecher as I’ve followed the response, research and commentary that has followed the devastating West African Ebola epidemic. Dr Sprecher’s talk was entitled “The 2014 Guinea Ebola Outbreak – The Challenge of Complexity and Scale”. At the time of the 2014 conference the death toll was reported to be 182 and the talk was followed by an open discussion of why MSF devotes resources to Ebola over other diseases. By the end of 2014 the death toll had climbed over 7800 and an estimated €59 million had been spent by MSF on its response to Ebola. Unsurprisingly a substantial proportion of the 2015 conference was devoted to Ebola research, and the epidemic is now estimated to have killed in excess of 11,000 people wreaking havoc across the region.

What can we look forward to from talks on medical research presented at this year’s conference? As one might expect research on the day-to-day challenges faced by MSF care providers will be covered with sessions on HIV, infectious disease outbreaks, falsified medicines, and snakebites. However, the current migration crises affecting the Middle East and Europe will also be covered in detail with a session on the consequences of conflict on migration and mental health plus a keynote presentation from Zaher Sahloul, past-President and current Head of the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) Global Response. I’m also looking forward to a debate on whether the ethics overview system for research in emergencies is fit for purpose, an important opportunity for reflection on the challenge of conducting ethically and scientifically sound research in the midst of challenging circumstances." (from PLOS Medicine's blog)

MSF is committed to publishing their research open access and the content of the scientific days are shared in real time

This year, the conference will also deal with Ebola, research in emergencies and session 4 is on the topic Outbreaks – venom, Valium, and vaccination. Please find the whole agenda and the link for registration here.

Principles for Article Sharing on Scholarly Collaboration Networks - Mittwoch, 30. März 2016

--------------------------

Dear colleagues,

the scientific community of researchers, librarians, publishers and scholarly collaboration networks (SCNs) needs to work in tandem to improve the article sharing experience. To this end, a working group of the International Association of STM Publishers has published — with community input — voluntary principles for article sharing on SCNs.

What are Scholarly collaboration networks?

Scholarly collaboration networks (= SCNs, also called scientific social networks) are used to to connect with colleagues, discuss specific topics or publications. The most popular scholarly collaboration networks are Researchgate (6 million members), Mendeley (5 million members) and Academia (30 million monthly visitors)- explained in brief on the page Science tools (http://www.bibliotheca-open.helmholtz-hzi.de/de-de/services/sciencetools.aspx)

These networks solicit researchers to establish collaboration networks and give users capabilities to upload versions of their articles to be shared with user-defined collaboration groups and, in some cases, members of the public. Regarding sharing common principles should be known and met.

 

Principles for article sharing on Scholarly collaboration networks

In February 2015, the working group posted a draft of voluntary principles for article sharing on SCNs and related FAQs concerning the use of these networks. STM asked the wider research community to consider the draft principles available on the STM website and actively sought commentary over a two-month consultation period that concluded in April 2015. 

This round of consultation resulted in a healthy debate across the stakeholders, including substantial library community comments. A revised set of voluntary principles was posted on the STM consultation web page in August 2015. The list of endorsing organizations can be found here.

The principles basically provide user guidelines for sharing articles among research collaborators and the FAQs address additional cases. Thus, have a look into these principles for article sharing. For example, one of the principle is:

 

“Public posting of journal article metadata and open access journal articles in scholarly collaboration networks should be encouraged” (see http://www.stm-assoc.org/2015_06_08_Voluntary_principles_for_article_sharing_on_scholarly_collaboration_networks.pdf)

Thus, the sharing of articles that are published under specific rules is not allowed.

That means, if you want to share an article check the conditions of the publisher / journal via SHERPA/RoMEO.

 

We recommend the following procedure:

  1. select the appropriate journal
    1. according to quality issues (checklist "Clues to quality of journals") and type of financing
    2. check via  SHERPA/RoMEO the conditions for re-use, sharing and postprint publication (e.g. deposit in our institutional repository HZI OpenRepository)
  2. submit your article
  3. Let your article be available in HZI OpenRepository

 

see http://www.bibliotheca-open.helmholtz-hzi.de/Zeitschriften/OpenAccess/IhreOA-Vorgehensweise.aspx

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

your library team

FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot (webinar on Friday, 18. 3.) - Donnerstag, 10. März 2016

----------------

Dear colleagues,

last year we explained the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot (library news from 6. June 2015).

FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot in short:

The European Commission launched the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot last year, https://www.openaire.eu/postgrantoapilot, to fund Open Access publishing fees for publications arising from finished FP7 projects through the OpenAIRE project. This Pilot provides funding for Open Access Article and Book Processing Charges (APCs/BPCs) for FP7 projects up to two years after their end.

The webinar (a follow-up to the first held in October 2015) will be a led by Pablo de Castro, from LIBER, the coordinating institution for this FP7 Post-Grant OA Pilot, and will have two parts. The first part will address the following topics:

  • How the FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot works;
     
  • How organizations are working with LIBER and OpenAIRE in order to support the Pilot implementation;
     
  • How to use the central service at https://postgrantoapilot.openaire.eu/ for collecting and processing funding requests for Open Access publishing fees;
     
  • What dissemination actions will be carried out next.
     

The second part of the webinar will be a Q&A session where any questions about this FP7 Post-Grant Open Access Pilot and its progress will be answered.

The webinar will take place on:

Date: 18 March 2016
Time: 11:00 CET

 

More details and how to register you will find at OpenAire's page "FP7 post-grant OpenAccess publishing funds pilot (webinar)"

Analysis on impact factor and rejection correlations - Montag, 1. Februar 2016

---------------

This commentary of Frontiers Communications shows that in most cases there is no correlation between high impact factor journals and a high rejection rate: http://blog.frontiersin.org/2016/01/27/high-impact-fast-decisions-and-reasonable-rejection-rates/

 

 




Please find the original data - which lead to the figure below - deposited here. If you want to find out which dot in the figure belongs to which journal: go to JCR, choose "view all journals", sort by Impact Factor and compare it : take a specific dot and compare the original data against the JCR list ranked by Impact Factor.

Hopefully, you can learn something new from the data.

The book exchange shelf/ bookcrossing station (W0.40, reading area) got a new design - Dienstag, 26. Januar 2016

----

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

seit letztem Jahr gibt es bei uns in der HZI-Bibliothek ein Büchertauschregal in der Lese-Lounge vor der Zeitschriftenauslage (siehe Raumplan: Medienbereiche). Dieses hat nun ein neues Gewand bekommen (siehe Foto, das wir dankenswerterweise von der PuK erhalten haben).

Jeder der mag, kann eigene gegen andere interessante Bücher tauschen: Die Bücher sind nicht Teil des Bibliotheksbestandes, haben somit keine Leihfrist und können  ohne Bibliotheksausweis mitgenommen werden.

Bisher finden sich Bücher verschiedener Genre (Krimi, Reise, Romantik, Sciencefiction, Sachbuch, Thriller etc.) in Deutsch, Englisch, Spanisch und Französisch im Regal. Aber auch alle anderen Sprachen und Genre sind willkommen.

Das Beste ist: Die Bibliothek ist 24 Stunden am Tag geöffnet. Bei Fragen stehen wir Ihnen von 9:00 Uhr bis 16:30 Uhr gerne zur Verfügung (Rückmeldungen zu diesem Projekt sind auch sehr willkommen).

Viel Spaß beim Tauschen und Lesen!

---

Dear colleagues,

since last year HZI library offers a book exchange shelf in the reading area in front of the journal display (see room plan: media areas). The book exchange shelf got a new design (see photo which we got from PuK). Everybody can swap own books against other interesting books: The books are not part of the library collection, don't have a loan period and you can take books with you without library card.

Until now there are books from different genre (crime, Travel, Romantic, Sciencefiction, Non-fiction, Thriller etc.) in German, English, Spanish or French available, but all other genres and languages are welcome as well.

The best is: the library is open 24/7. We are happy to answer your questions on weekdays from 9 h – 16.30 h (feedback on this project is also welcome ;) ).

Happy swapping!

 

ORCID becomes mandatory for some publishers and funders - Donnerstag, 21. Januar 2016

-------------------------------------------------------------

There are initiatives such as ORCID[1] (which is also mentioned in our overview of Sciencetools) where the working group of the European Science Foundation (ESF) agreed that it “…[i]s important for research organisations to support international efforts to uniquely identify researchers, and link this information to research output information.”[2] (Please also have look at our first news on ORCID.)

 

These publishers make or made ORCID mandatory: 

American Geophysical Union (AGU), eLife, EMBO, FrontiersHindawi, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), PLOS, Royal Society ((its publishing director is giving details in an interview) and Science - you can find all signatories in this open letter.

 

The Wellcome Trust made ORCID a mandatory requirement from August 2015 onwards and others (like in UK and other countries) will follow. Here is a list (taken from ORCID blog) of funders that made ORCID mandatory so far:

  • Autism Speaks, USA (2014)
  • FCT, Portugal (2014)
  • QNRF, Qatar (2014)
  • SRC, Sweden (2014)
  • Department of Transportation, US (2015)
  • NIHR, UK (2015)
  • Wellcome Trust, UK (2015)

 

The Royal society sums up the main benefits of ORCID:

  1. It’s a time saver:

ORCID provides a unique digital  identifier, which is the solution for the problem of name ambiguity (distinguishes you from other researchers with similar names and links you to your work regardless of any variant spellings of your name). It supports authentication across multiple journals, search engines and services, allowing you a single sign-on.                 

Up to now, each time you apply for a new grant, or register for a service (such as ResearchGate), you have had to re-enter all the same information in each system. Once you have created an ORCID identifier and connected it with your publications, grants, and affiliations, your details will automatically be entered when using any compatible system.

 

  1. It provides cross-platform compatibility

More and more systems are building in ORCID support, which means you can now easily connect your ORCID iD to your existing publications via interfaces with systems such as Crossref, EuropePMC, or Scopus (see Sciencetools). Furthermore publishers’ systems are now able to automatically update your ORCID record as you publish each new article, saving you the trouble of updating it manually.  A number of systems, including university profiles, library repositories, funder reporting, pull data from ORCID, meaning you will spend less time manually updating in these as well.

 

  1. Your privacy is protected

When you sign up for an ORCID iD you retain complete control and can set privacy settings on information in your record. For example, you can make some or all of your research works public whilst keeping other information (such as email addresses) private. You control which organizations have access to your record and which can add information.

 

  1. It helps to build reputations

Using an ORCID identifier helps to build your reputation by making research works much more visible to potential collaborators, funders and employers. Publication repositories are using ORCID iDs to enable search, and universities are using them to support updates of local profile systems. ORCID also enables connections with, datasets, grant applications, reviewer reports, etc., to build a complete picture of your research contribution.

 

That are the reasons why we suggest to join and use ORCID. The best is: ORCID is for free and neutral whereas ScopusID and ResearcherID are linked to the journal output[3]. How to link ORCID with your Scopus or researcherID profile we described in Sciencetools.

Best regards,

your library team


[1] ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) aims to solve the name ambiguity problem in scholarly communications by creating a registry of persistent unique identifiers for individual researchers and an open and transparent linking mechanism between ORCID, other ID schemes, and research objects such as publications, grants and patents: http://about.orcid.org/

How to identify key opinion leaders via Scopus - Mittwoch, 9. Dezember 2015

----------

Dear colleagues,

in Scopus you have a variety of analytical tools for analyzing the output of specific scientists, institutions etc.

How to identify key opinion leaders (which was also described in our Scopus presentation) is explained in Scopus-Blog: http://blog.scopus.com/posts/how-to-use-scopus-to-identify-key-opinion-leaders-in-6-easy-steps:

 

  1. Perform a <Document Search> on your research topic
  2. Better <Limit> fior example to 2013-2015 to  get the most recent research
  3. Click above the results list on the button <Analyze search results> (check above the graph if the date fields are set to 2013-2015)
  4. Compare for each author the document counts in the table. Via clicking on the corresponding line in the chart (to the right of the table, arrow "step 4") you are able to have a closer look on individual publications

    Analyze authors (Screenshot by Scopus)

  5. Via clicking on the author name hyperlink (see arrow "step 5") you see the author details (author ID, the author's affiliation, citations etc.)

    Analyze authors (Screenshot by Scopus)

Addendum: If the author profile is yours and your ORCID is not shown in the author details you can click on <Add to ORCID> to integrate your ORCID id and details into Scopus.

Wanna try? Begin a search in Scopus. 

If any questions arise feel free to ask us.

How some journals are hijacked via snatching internet domains of academic publishers - Dienstag, 24. November 2015

--------
Dear colleagues,

hijacked journals remain a hot topic - several different strategies exist regarding hijacking. One of them is snatching internet domains of academic publishers which Bohannon describes in detail in this article:



Some of the hijacked journals are also listed at Web of Science - please visit this additional page to learn about those hijacked journals, the investigational process and code.


As some of you were already confronted with paper submissions at or invitations for hijacked or weird looking journals we summarized criteria to check the quality of journals in the guide "Clues to journal quality" (those criteria should be common practice but perhaps you are not familiar with all of them (?) ).

If you have any questions - in general or regarding a specific journal - feel free to contact us: bibliothek (at) helmholtz-hzi.de

Think. Check. Submit. (How to Have Trust in Your Publisher.) - Dienstag, 6. Oktober 2015

----------

"Think. Check. Submit." is a new campaign to help researchers in identifying who they can trust when they are seeking to publish their work. The campaign is co-ordinated by ALPSP, DOAJ, INASP, ISSN, LIBER, OASPA, STM, UKSG, and several publishers including BioMed Central, Springer Nature and Ubiquity Press.

The campaign provides a checklist for researchers - a shorter version of our guide "Clues to quality of journals" (which will soon be updated by us - in cooperation with the members of Bibliotheksausschuss, Intranet-page Bibliotheksausschuss).

The blog Scholarlykitchen published an article on this campaign in which the background and key facts are explained:

 

Peer Review Week and free webinar "Trust and Transparency in Peer Review" - Dienstag, 29. September 2015

------------------------------

This week the first „Peer Review Week” takes place! You can join in Peer Review Week 2015 by tweeting (#peerrevwk15)

Peer review – in all its forms – is central to scholarly communications: From funding applications through journal submissions to hiring and promotion decisions and beyond – all rely on some form of peer review.

The changing needs of researchers – especially as a result of the move to digital and the globalization of scholarly research – are not just leading to new forms of publication, but also to new forms of peer review. Traditional publishers and startups alike are experimenting with open peer review, transferable peer review, peer review validation, and more. There is also increased awareness of how much time researchers are spending on peer review and the need for this to be recognized – and valued – by their institutions, resulting in new ways of enabling credit for this (see, for example, Publons).

Just four organizations – ORCID, ScienceOpen, Sense About Science, and Wiley – were involved in the initial planning of the Peer Review Week), the response has been encouraging – in the first two weeks there were 340 tweets from 180 twitter handles.  And the depth and breadth of organizations and people who are getting involved is encouraging; from major publishers like Elsevier, Oxford University Press, and Taylor & Francis to smaller organizations like ISMTE (the International Society of Managing and Technical Editors), Publons, and Open Scholar, it’s good to see so many positive responses.

You can attend to the free webinar “Trust and Transparency in Peer Review“ hosted by Wiley:

Trust and Transparency in Peer Review
Kent Anderson, AAAS; Verity Brown (StAndrews Uni); Alexander Grossman, (Scienceopen); Laura Haad (ORCID); Andrew Preston (Publons)
Oct 01 2015 5:00 pm | 60 mins

Peer review is at the heart of scholarly communication as a strong peer review helps to ensure quality. This webinar, hosted by Wiley, will explore the foundations of trust in peer review. Experts from academia and publishing will share different perspectives on issues around openness and transparency in the peer review process.

Use the link above to register for this webinar.

To get a list of the next upcoming events and past webinars that are recorded and can be replayed go to the Wiley's "Videos and Webinars"

As mentioned above please feel invited to join the "Peer Review Week 2015" by tweeting (#peerrevwk15). You can follow the updates at Twitter here.

HZI Open Repository is ranked as number 12 in OA Repository Ranking - Mittwoch, 9. September 2015

-----------------------------

In Open Access Repository Ranking we succeeded in getting ranked higher: we were able to reposition HZI Open Repository from rank 69 to rank 12* – that means we won 57 ranks: a really huge step to the front! Among the Helmholtz repositories ours is the second best after Jülich (rank 6). Furthermore, if you look at the regional ranking for Lower Saxony we are ranked number 1 (together with Göttingen "GoeScholar")!

 *This year we signed up for actively taking part in the Open Access Repository Ranking: The metric 2015 and criteria details can be found here (learn more on “Census on Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland” and the “OARR” in this german presentation).

 

When you click at our repository you get the most important facts:

As we described earlier (July, 31st) we increased the usability of the HZI Open Repository in order to meet quality standards of repositories and changed several things such as:

  • Policy: We specified the Policy, e.g. we separated the CC-licence for metadata from the repository’s content: The metadata in the HZI Open Repository is protected by Creative Commons license CC 0. The content, full texts as well as supplements, is protected by the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC 4.0 requesting a mention of the work’s primary creator and prohibits commercial use. This should allow the widest possible Re-use of all materials including the use in remixes and mashups.
  • Contacts: We specified the information on this page to refer to diversified needs and give now more information on the specific contact persons.
  • Furthermore, we integrated into the “Submit an item”-process a field for adding an ORCID identifier in order to increase the search functionality. – For those of you who never heard of ORCID before: ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a nonproprietary alphanumeric code to uniquely identify scientific and other academic authors. More details you will find in our announcement “Are you as a researcher ready to get a researcher-ID from the 18th of March 2015.

 - Additionally, we are in the process of integrating ORCID identifiers for our institutional researchers (if available and we are informed about the specific ORCID identifier of the researcher).

How to get your research work into HZI Open Repository? Please find more details at OpenAccess and the Policy of HZI Open Repository or contact us.

We hope that you like HZI OpenRepository – if there is anything else you would like on HZI OpenRepository please let us know!

And now let’s enjoy rank 12!

Scopus Document Download Manager via Chrome - Donnerstag, 3. September 2015

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This announcement is important for all those who want to download papers from Scopus via Chrome:

 

Chrome is currently the most-used browser (43% in August, see chart) among our users.

image 1: Browsers used (statistics from Aug. 2015)

So, we would like to inform you about Chrome (version 42 or higher) having problems with the Document Download Manager of Scopus. The Document Download Manager should open (see image 3) when you click at the button “Download” (see image 2) – make sure that the current java-version is installed (more information in Scopus Help here).


Since 1st of September, Google released version 45 of Google Chrome. Since Chrome version 42 (or higher), the “Netscape Plugin API” (NPAPI) in Chrome was disabled by default. As a Windows or Mac user you can enable it for Chrome 42-44 manually, as explained in this Scopus blog post here (on Android Javascript / NPAPI is disabled). With Chrome version 45 this NPAPI plugin will be permanently removed and thus users will not be able to manually enable this again.

If you wish to keep using the Document Download Manager we recommend the following:

Scopus is currently working on an update for the Scopus Document Download Manager that should be supported by Chrome version 45 (or future versions).

(To reach all Scopus visitors, Scopus added a banner at their landing page to inform all Chrome users)

Help us in optimizing our pages/ services in order to meet your needs better - Freitag, 31. Juli 2015

- Various slight changes made - but there is always more to do

---------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

perhaps you noticed that today, 31th of July, is the 16th System Administrator Appreciation Day :) http://sysadminday.com/ so let's celebrate! (gifts, words of gratitude etc. are also appreciated. :) just drop by to the IT-department and the library or mail/ phone us :) ).

There is even a System Administrator's Day song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE_p5N89XQI (have fun watching it)

In these manner we were really engaged the last weeks to make various changes on our pages that we would like to inform you about:

Library in Intranet (Intranet > Wissenschaft > Bibliothek):

At our entrance page the menu buttons (with its specific icons) “Elektronische Zeitschriften” and „Onlinekatalog/Webportal” redirect you to the specific pages of our library portal in the internet. If you need further explanations and additional tipps you can click there the upper sections “Zeitschriften” respectively “Katalog”.

The display of mirrored pages (integrated pages of different internet pages via iFrame) caused display errors in some browsers. That’s why we integrated a screenshot of the specific external webpage and linked from the screenshot to the external webpage. So, when you click on that screenshot a new tab opens with the specific webpage – namely, at the following intranet pages:

 

Library portal in WWW

We added a Website search where can search for words on our pages.

Some days ago I monitored current and older crawl errors (displayed by GoogleBot) that occurred due to changes in page-names/ URLs. – So, if something is not working as it should or something is confusing, please inform me (sch13, -1165).

(Some other things are in the pipeline – but we still have to solve some configuration problems.)

Addendum: The different search tools library catalogs, databases and search engines are explained at the page “Recherchetools” – if you think we should add some tools or change some explanations please let us know. (As information experts we sometimes tend to use our jargon without noticing it so help us to develop easy-to-use tools and explanations.)

 

HZI Open Repository

In order to meet quality standards of repositories and to increase the usability of the repository pages we specified and changed several things in HZI OpenRepository.

  • Policy: We specified the Policy, e.g. we separated the CC-licence for metadata from the repository’s content: The metadata in the HZI Open Repository is protected by Creative Commons license CC 0. The content, full texts as well as supplements, is protected by the Creative Commons license CC BY-NC 4.0 requesting a mention of the work’s primary creator and prohibits commercial use. This should allow the widest possible Re-use of all materials including the use in remixes and mashups.
  • Contacts: We specified the information on this page to refer to diversified needs and give now more information on the specific contact persons.
  • Furthermore, we integrated into the “Submit an item”-process a field for adding an ORCID identifier in order to increase the search functionality. – For those of you who never heard of ORCID before: ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a nonproprietary alphanumeric code to uniquely identify scientific and other academic authors. More details you will find in our announcement “Are you as a researcher ready to get a researcher-ID from the 18th of March 2015.

 - Additionally, we are in the process of integrating ORCID identifiers for our institutional researchers (if available and we are informed about the specific ORCID identifier of the researcher).

 

Some of those changes will influence our position in the “Open Access Repository Ranking”/ OARR that is currently updated (learn more on “Census on Open Access Repositories in Germany, Austria and Switzerland” and the “OARR” in this german presentation). This year we signed up for actively taking part in it. We are looking forward to learn our new position in this ranking. :)

 

What is your personal opinion?

Are you satisfied with these changes? Is there something that we can make even better? ...

Just come around or contact us :)

(Of course, we love to hear positive feedback but we also want to have constructive criticism: if something is not working as it should, please inform me (sch13, -1165).

In case of our library portal you can express your opinion via clicking the specific information in the three questions of the survey.

Long wait until papers get published - Montag, 6. Juli 2015

-----------------------




Long wait for publication plagues many journals
Scientific publishing requires patience, even after a paper has been formally accepted.


Chris Wolston starts his commentary by mentioning the case of PhD-student Daniel Himmelstein who compiled the median for the time between acceptance and publication for 3476 different scientific journals and found that the wait ranged from 3 to more than 100 days.
1


For details also view the findings of Daniel Himmelstein, who examined the delay:


 

This is also observed by Ferreira et al. who found that the mean time to first decision for the journals they checked is 49 days but "timeframes could be much longer depending on the reliability and consistency of the reviewers".2

 

The geneticist Daniel MacArthur points out: "Publishers need to do better than the current glacial pace of distribution or they’ll be increasingly irrelevant to scientific discussion."2

Elsevier’s strategy against Green way of Open Access is internationally criticized - Montag, 6. Juli 2015

----------------

Elsevier gerät einmal mehr in die Kritik - wie das Helmholtz Open Science-Koordinationsbüro beschreibt:

"Ende April hat der Elsevier-Verlag seine Open-Access-Regeln geändert. Das Herzstück dieser Veränderung ist die Einführung von Sperrfristen von 12 bis zu 48 Monaten Dauer bis zur Erlaubnis für die Zugänglichmachung der referierten Version (Postprint, nicht die Version im Verlagslayout) von wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriftenartikeln im grünen Weg des Open Access.

Für Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, die im Rahmen von EU-geförderten Projekten forschen, ergeben sich bereits Probleme. Die Open-Access-Bedingung von Horizon 2020 [S. 7 des Manual] verpflichtet Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, ihre Veröffentlichungen aus geförderten Projekten innerhalb von 6 bzw. 12 Monaten (Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften) im Open Access zugänglich zu machen. Elsevier-Zeitschriften verwehren es nun den Autorinnen und Autoren aus den STM-Fächern, diese Bedingung über den grünen Weg in der vorgegebenen Frist zu erfüllen. Jetzt stehen die Autorinnen und Autoren in EU-Projekten mit Blick auf Elsevier-Zeitschriften vor der Wahl entweder nicht mehr in ihren bevorzugten Zeitschriften veröffentlichen zu können oder für Open-Access-Artikel in Subskriptionszeitschriften (hybrid) hohe Publikationsgebühren zu bezahlen. Mutmaßlich ist genau dies das Ziel von Elsevier. In Anlehnung an Regeln der DFG heißt es aber in den Helmholtz-Kriterien zum Betrieb von Open-Access-Publikationsfonds: „So genannte hybride Open-Access-Modelle (z. B. Springer Open Choice oder Elsevier Sponsored Articles) sollten nicht unterstützt werden, um eine Doppelfinanzierung zu vermeiden.“

Die neuen Regeln von Elsevier haben deshalb international Proteste ausgelöst, die das Helmholtz Open Science Koordinationsbüro über seine Mitgliedschaft bei COAR mit unterstützt.

Das deutsche Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht (§ 38 Abs. 4 UrhG, s. die FAQ der Allianz der Wissenschaftsorganisationen zum Zweitveröffentlichungsrecht) hilft den EU-geförderten Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern im oben genannten Beispiel leider nicht weiter, weil es eine Zweitveröffentlichung unabhängig von Verlagsvorgaben, erst nach 12 Monaten erlaubt und damit im Bereich der STM-Fächer hinter den Anforderungen von Horizon 2020 zurückbleibt."

(zitiert aus dem Helmholtz Open Science Newsletter vom 23.06.2015)

Elsevier widerspricht vehement der Kritik von COAR und beschuldigt COAR mit deren Statement der Sinnestäuschung (knappe Zusammenfassung siehe http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1911). In der Zwischenzeit sind eine Vielzahl an wissenschaftlichen Institutionen, darunter Bibliotheken und Bibliotheksesellschaften, COAR beigetreten, um das COAR Statement zu unterstützen. COAR veröffentlichte nach Elsevier's harscher Replik ein neues Statement namens "Re-COAR-recting the record", um verschiedene Aspekte zu konkretisieren und folgende gezielte Forderungen an Elsevier zur Verbesserung ihrer Policy zu stellen:

"

  1. Elsevier should allow all authors to make their “author’s accepted manuscript” openly available immediately upon acceptance through an OA repository or other open access platform.
  2. Elsevier should allow authors to choose the type of open license (from CC-BY to other more restrictive licenses like the CC-BY-NC-ND) they want to attach to the content that they are depositing into an open access platform.
  3. Elsevier should not attempt to dictate author’s practices around individual sharing of articles. Individual sharing of journal articles is already a scholarly norm and is protected by fair use and other copyright exceptions. Elsevier cannot, and should not, dictate practices around individual sharing of articles.

We strongly encourage Elsevier to revise their policy in order to better align with the interests of the research community."

Im Juni betont COAR die wachsende Unterstützung aus der Wissenschaft, das COAR Statement hat derzeit über 2600 Unterzeichner.

COAR's Executive Director Kathleen Shearer betont: “There is a larger and extremely important issue at stake [...] and that is control of the scholarly communication system…. [I]t really should be the scholarly community that defines the values and practices around sharing, and up to Elsevier to develop its business model around that—not the opposite, whereby the scholarly community must abide by publishers’ restrictive conditions in order to protect their revenues.”

---

Elsevier came again under criticism - as “Helmholtz Open Science” explains:

At the end of April Elsevier has changed its open-access rules. The introduction of lock-up periods of 12 to 48 months duration to permit the disclosure of the peer-reviewed version (post-print, not the version of the publishing layout) of scientific journal articles in the green way of Open Access constitutes the core of this change.

For scientists of the Helmholtz Association, who research in the context of EU-funded projects, this already leads to problems:  According to the rules of Horizon 2020 [p. 7 of the Manual]  scientists from funded projects are obliged to make their publications from funded projects Open Access within 6 or 12 months (social sciences and humanities).  Elsevier’s journals currently stop the authors from the STM subjects to fulfil this via the green way in the given time limit. That means that authors in EU projects with respect to Elsevier’s journals have to choose either to no longer publish in their favorite journal or to pay high fees for publishing this article also as Open Access in already licensed journals (so that additional costs are paid for the Open Access option). Presumably this is exactly the aim of Elsevier. But based on the rules of the DFG the Helmholtz criteria for the operation of open-access publication funds points out: "So-called hybrid Open Access models (e.g. Springer Open Choice or Elsevier Sponsored Articles) should not be supported, in order to avoid double funding. "

The new rules of Elsevier have therefore triggered international protests that are supported by the Helmholtz Open Science Coordination Office via its membership in COAR.

The German Second Publication Law (§ 38 para. 4 of the Copyright Act, s. The FAQ of the Alliance of Scientific Organizations for secondary publication rights) unfortunately does not help the scientists in the above-mentioned case, because it is a secondary publication, regardless of publisher specifications, that permits after 12 months and thus remains in the STM-compartments behind the requirements of Horizon 2020.
 

(cited from the Helmholtz Open Science Newsletter of 23.06.2015)

Elsevier rejected the criticism of COAR claiming misperceptions (for a summary see http://www.researchinformation.info/news/news_story.php?news_id=1911).

In the meantime several scientific instutions, among them several libraries and library associations (ACRL, ALA etc.) worldwide currently have joined COAR to support the COAR statement against Elsevier's sharing policy. COAR published a new statement "Re-COAR-recting the record" to specify several aspects and offer the following recommendations to Elsevier to improve its policy:

"

  1. Elsevier should allow all authors to make their “author’s accepted manuscript” openly available immediately upon acceptance through an OA repository or other open access platform.
  2. Elsevier should allow authors to choose the type of open license (from CC-BY to other more restrictive licenses like the CC-BY-NC-ND) they want to attach to the content that they are depositing into an open access platform.
  3. Elsevier should not attempt to dictate author’s practices around individual sharing of articles. Individual sharing of journal articles is already a scholarly norm and is protected by fair use and other copyright exceptions. Elsevier cannot, and should not, dictate practices around individual sharing of articles.

We strongly encourage Elsevier to revise their policy in order to better align with the interests of the research community."

In June COAR announces the growing support for statement against Elsevier policy, which is currently signed by more than 2600 institutions and individuals worldwide.

As COAR executive director Kathleen Shearer points out, “There is a larger and extremely important issue at stake [...] and that is control of the scholarly communication system…. [I]t really should be the scholarly community that defines the values and practices around sharing, and up to Elsevier to develop its business model around that—not the opposite, whereby the scholarly community must abide by publishers’ restrictive conditions in order to protect their revenues.”

What we do to better our services for you - Donnerstag, 4. Juni 2015

-----------------------------------------------

The information world including databases, linked data, publishing and search tools together with information and communication tools are constantly changing and therefore influence the work of scientists as well as the work of information scientists working in libraries.

fugure 1: Software/ tools used among PhD-students

Believe it or not, we also do research  smiley

We want to learn how you as a researcher and scientist work. For instance, we did a survey among PhD-students which tools (e.g. Endnote, Mendeley, Citavi) they use in which way to manage their literature, references and notes (fig . 1). The most common tool for this is Endnote, followed by Mendeley. The findings we got via the survey from May to Juli 2014 correspond with the results with a paper-based survey that we did in December 2014.

 

The findings of the surveys were used to develop a concept for a workshop on reference management software. The very first workshop “Introduction to Reference Management Software”  took place on the 20th of May (others will follow).

Based on the feedback of the participants the contents and methods will be optimized.

 

Let us get to know which information, tools and services you use in which way:

(there are many ways to interact and communicate with us wink )

Perhaps you want to know what services are offered by us before you tell us your experiences and opinion:

Our services comprises things from...

  • A like aquiring media - print and/ or online - such as journals, books databases --> to enable you to access the full text (in case of online material you usually see - when you are on campus - top right "Brought to you by Helmholtz-Centre for Infection Research" or the HZI Logo which indicates that (parts of/ ) it are purchased by us)
  • B like "Books to go" (established in August 2014) for sharing novels and books among you
  • C like co-working spaces (e.g. reading lounge, carrels for scientific working and writing, the reservable meeting room W0.52)
  • D like document delivery in cases where you can't access the full text (more details at the intranet page "Fernleihe")

to things like...

  • Managing lab books
  • support in publishing ( e.g. OpenAccess, advice regarding different publisher's conditions, the deposit of your paper in our repository...)
  • ...

That was only a small selection of the services - more details at the page services - and if you need sth. else please let us know.

 

We also monitor the usage of our webpages (fig.  2): beside the statistic tool in the content management system of our library portal we also implemented GoogleAnalytics for getting to know the ways that users take through our pages.

figure 2: Sitelog of the library portal’s usage  in 2014

Furthermore, we do environmental scanning via reading news alerts and articles in scientific journals as well as attending at conferences. Last week Axel and me, Steffi, were at the Bibliothekartag2015 in Nuremberg (conference programme). This year the conference topic was “from beginning on: future” creating high expactations that were, for the most part, met:

 

We got new insights into

  • current projects of research data, its management and related tasks (fig. 3),
  • figure 3: different perspectives on research datasetting up and enriching repositories like our HZI OpenRepository (now harvested in OpenAIRE),
  • linked open data,
  • current developments in Science2.0 and OpenScience (which we also support, see details at the intranet page “OpenScience + Publishing”),
  • evaluating learning outcomes (e.g. the above-mentioned workshop),
  • innovative library services,
  • user-centered design (fig. 4) of websites, apps etc.

figure 4: methods in User-centered design

To sum it up: 

There are many things, we can further work on ;)

Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery In The Digital Age - Montag, 18. Mai 2015

------------------------------------------------------------------------

... aims to foster agreement about how to best enable access to facts, data and ideas for knowledge discovery in the Digital Age. By removing barriers to accessing and analysing the wealth of data produced by society, we can find answers to great challenges ..." (see official site)

Ein wichtiges Thema in der vergangenen Woche war die Haager Erklärung (“The Hague Declaration on Knowledge Discovery In The Digital Age“). [...] Darin hat der Europäische Bund Wissenschaftlicher Bibliotheken LIBER grundlegende Prinzipien festgeschrieben, die über alle Fachrichtungen und Sektoren hinweg, eine Einigkeit bezüglich des Nutzens und Nutzung von Text und Data Mining (TDM) ermöglichen soll. [...]
Interessant ist die Forderung des Wissenschaftsrates, von dem Heinz Pampel auf Wisspub.net berichtet. Der Wissenschaftsrat fordert u.a. Forschungsdaten offen zugänglich zu machen und auch negative Resultate zu veröffentlichen. Die Empfehlungen sind Ergebnis einer Bilanz, die der Wissenschaftsrat nach einer Fakultätenbefragung gezogen hat. Die „Empfehlungen zu wissenschaftlicher Integrität“ beschäftigten sich dabei nicht nur mit wissenschaftlichen Fehlverhalten, sondern benennen auch Grauzonen, deren Transparenz im Sinne einer interegeren Wissenschaft verbessert werden müssen.
Dörte Böhner auf bibliothekarisch.de

The Hague Declaration is already signed by more than 50 organizations worldwide - Organisations and individuals that wish to support the Declaration can sign it on the official website www.thehaguedeclaration.com. In doing so, they will officially recognise the huge potential for knowledge discovery while they also acknowledge that steps need to be taken to ensure that everyone can benefit from this potential.

Some of the benefits of OpenScience as a precondition to presuppose enhanced content mining are:

  • Exponentially increasing the speed and progress of science through new insights and greater efficiency of research
  • Increasing transparency of governments and their actions
  • Fostering innovation and collaboration and boosting the impact of open science
  • Creating tools for education and research
  • ...

(taken from the Hague declaration)

The key aspects are summarized in the infographic ""Big Data Can Reshape The World And Save Lives":

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So all in all, this declaration - which also includes a roadmap - is worth to read and sign.

The HZI Open Repository is now harvested for EU-funded research publication - Mittwoch, 6. Mai 2015

-----------------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

After a rather long process of adapting both systems to enable interaction we have good news for you:

The network Open Access infrastructure in Europe (OpenAIRE http://openaire.eu) is now text mining the HZI OpenRepository and lists our deposits e.g. from EU-funded research:

If you set OpenAIRE’s filter “Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung” you get more than 1300 documents – you can also limit those to a specific funder, e.g. European Commission

Moreover it is possible to browse all funded projects in which HZI was involved in and which resulted into a publication. Furthermore each project provides additional information such as a timeline that shows in which year the papers within the projects were published (e.g. RESISTOME, ERC-Reference no. 260276). Addendum (11th of June 2015): OpenAIRE is able to identify the output of research of any funder and initiative when program details are shareable -until now this comprises the Wellcome Trust, the European Grid Initiative, the major Portuguese National Science Funder, and the German Research Foundation. As Najla Rettberg and Birgit Schmidt point out in their current published article:

Repositories and their OA contents have huge potential for enhancing the scholarly communication landscape. Tools and services can be built to measure research impact, citation analysis, and usage. In particular, there is work ahead to promote quality metadata and the inclusion of funding information in the metadata records of institutional and disciplinary repositories. Libraries and institutions have an important role to play in this regard and their future engagement in this network to implement OA across Europe is vital.

(Rettberg, Naja; Schmidt, Birgit: OpenAIRE : Supporting a European Open Access mandate. 2015)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please be aware that if your research was conducted with funding from the European research council (ERC) under the Seventh Research Framework Programme  (FP7) you ought to try the best effort to publish in Open Access by either choosing an Open Access journal (Gold Open Access) or depositing the manuscript in a freely accessible OpenAire-compliant repository (Green Open Access) such as our HZI OpenRepository. For more details and tips visit our page “OpenAccess” (important information regarding OpenScience and publishing can HZI members find at the intranet page “OpenScience + Publishing”).

Depending on the rules of your publisher the deposit of a manuscript may be limited to specific conditions. As these conditions may vary extremly from publisher to publisher or even journal to journal, please check Sherpa RoMEO under what terms your publisher allows the deposit of your paper. Generally, the deposit of a manuscript is allowed when generally permitted by the publisher or when a special agreement between the publisher and the ERC was arranged. We advise to check the conditions of your preferred journal before submitting a paper, see the suggested OA-approach.

If your research was funded through a Horizon2020 programme you are obliged to make your publication Open Access – in contrast to FP7 (see comparison in “Open access in Europe”, slide 17 – using the possibilities detailed above.

In case of questions or if you prefer to publish in your favoured journal rather than in a true Open Access journal you should contact either the head of the library, Axel Plähn, or his deputy, Roland Weller, to check under which conditions we can legally archive your manuscript in our repository.

 

Best regards,

When Data Sharing Gets Close to 100% - Donnerstag, 26. März 2015

----------------------------------------------------------

In the recently published study, developed by Anagnostou et al., data sharing was analyzed regarding Y chromosomal, mitochondrial, and autosomal polymorphisms in a total of 162 papers (published between 1988 and 2013) on ancient human DNA.

The study highlights three important aspects:

  1. it was shown that researchers’ awareness of the importance of openness and transparency for scientific progress can complement stakeholders’ policies.
  2. data sharing does not necessarily have to be coincidential with a widespread use of practices that would increase data findability, data accessibility, useability and preservation.
  3. the case example of human paleogenetics indicates that the awareness of the importance of Open Science would be important to enable building reliable scientific practices.

Please find the paper including the figures and data sets here: J. Hawks: When Data Sharing Gets Close to 100%: What Human Paleogenetics Can Teach the Open Science Movement - In: PLOS ONE, Volume 10, Issue 3 (2015)

By the way: to publish figures and data in OpenAccess you can use CreativeCommons (see last announcement from Monday, 23rd of March 2015).

More and recently updated details regarding OpenAccess and OpenScience including benefits for authors you will find in OpenAccess and more details regarding publishing especially in the area of OpenScience you will find at the intranet page OpenScience + Publishing.

How to use CreativeCommons for your works (datasets, images, videos etc.) - Montag, 23. März 2015

---------------------------

To support OpenAccess you can put your works under a Creative Commons-licence.

But why give up specific Parts of your rights regarding Copyright?

The great benefit is that you can allow others to use your datasets, images, videos, tutorials etc. for free by determining what is allowed.

Before the CreativeCommons-licences existed you either had to give up your rights (even the right of being shown as creator) or you had toput your work under a strong Copyright that prohibited the free Usage.

You want to enable specific kinds of usage? For defining how your works should be used and what is prohibited, you have several options in the world of CreativeCommons:

The creator can choose one of the 6 different licences that contain one or more of the four licence elements (see box); three of these licences allow  commercial use, three of them don’t.

Jessica Coates[1] explains that 3 levels of “open” exist: accessibility (which means something is freely available only), technical aspect (the chosen format allows download and adaptation), legal aspect (the user gets the permission to use it)

 

For choosing one of the licences you can use a generator that helps to identify the licence which matches your needs: http://creativecommons.org/choose/

As a user of content you have to determine which licence(s) are possible. For example, if you put images on a website, you should use CC-BY for which only the creator and the licence has to be referenced. Furthermore, you should know if the specific usage of the chosen content is commercial or not. As “commercial” in the context of creativeCommons is not that clear pay some considerations on previous legal interpretations: Beside the use of content on commercial websites also the transfer of an image onto a publication is said to be a commercial usage.[2]  

For finding cc-licenced works you can either use the “advanced  search” on GoogleImages, Flickr etc. or you can use the cc-search engine after selecting the preferred portal:  http://search.creativecommons.org/

 

Further information on using CreativeCommons can be found in the recently published german article “Freigegeben : Creative-Commons-Lizenzen rechtssicher nutzen” (also in our journal display, details here) and at the homepage of CreativeCommons: http://creativecommons.org/.

 

Best regards,

your library team

Are you as a researcher ready to get a researcher ID? (example: ORCID) - Mittwoch, 18. März 2015

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Martin Fenner, member of the publisher PLOS, gave an introduction to ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID). ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.

Fenner's presentation was part of the BiSON-conference (working committee Bibliotheksregion Südostniedersachsen) that was hosted this time by HZI Library and took place in X1.01 yesterday.

As more and more publishers insist on a researcher ID when submitting a paper we want to offer some information:

  1. What is ORCID?
    ORCID is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers.

  2. What are the benefits of ORCID?
    ORCID was developed in order to give scientists the opportunity to distinguish their research activities from those of others with similar names. To illustrate the mechanism Butler refers to barcodes that allow to distinguish between one object and another.1 You as a researcher need to be able to easily and uniquely attach your identity to research objects such as datasets,articles, citations, experiments, patents etc. Moreover, to enter such data manually over and over again can be time-consuming, and often frustrating. That are the reasons why ORCID connects researchers and research via embedding of ORCID identifiers in key workflows, such as research profile maintenance, manuscript submissions, grant applications, and patent applications (to get an impression of ORCID see Martin Fenner). Above all, you as a researcher decide which data will be visible.

  3. What are the core functions of ORCID? 
    a) the ORCID registry to obtain a unique identifier and manage a record of activities
    b) APIs that support system-to-system communication and authentication.
    One of the biggest advantages is: ORCID makes its code available under an open source license and everyone can search the ORCID registry for specific persons

  4. What does ORCID cost?
    The ORCID Registry is available free of charge to individuals, who may obtain an ORCID identifier, manage their record of activities, and search for others in the Registry. Institutions can also become members and pay a member fee to link their records to ORCID identifiers, to update ORCID records, to receive updates from ORCID, and to register their employees and students for ORCID identifiers - in that case, the institution are responsible for administering and update the data of its members.

  5. How do you get an ID at ORCID?
    a) RegisterGet your unique ORCID identifier (approx. 30 seconds)
    b) add your personal informationEnhance your ORCID record with your professional information and link to your other identifiers (such as Scopus or ResearcherID or LinkedIn).
    c) use your ORCID ID: Include your ORCID identifier on your Webpage, when you submit publications, apply for grants, and in any research workflow to ensure you get credit for your work

1 Butler, Declan:Scientists: your number is up : ORCID scheme will give researchers unique identifiers to improve tracking of publications. - In: Nature Vol. 485 (2012) 7400 - p. 564 - URL: http://www.nature.com/news/scientists-your-number-is-up-1.10740

Yesterday, we just wanted to informed that Pubmed and other NCBL-Pages (including GenBank, RefSeq, TPA and PDB) are unavailable. If you want to search for papers etc. you can use alternatively SCOPUS or medpilot.de.

Via medpilot's "change preferences / Einstellungen ändern" you can choose to search MEDLINE (which comprises the collections of Pubmed) only.

Please note: Papers, Information or Data that are lying at the servers of NCBL are not accessible.

 
 

Hijacked Journals and Predatory Publishers - Mittwoch, 4. März 2015

-----------------------------------------------------------------

pirate pic @ Pixabay http://pixabay.com/de/pirat-produktpiraterie-sch%C3%A4del-145887/ Dear colleagues,

Since a few years the scientific community is confronted with the topic of hijacked journals and predatory publishers: Hijackers steal the identities of journals and collect the APCs (article processing charges). There are also examples of print-only journals as Jalalian [1] points out. Even at HZI some research groups made some experience with weird situations (regarding review process, acceptance rate etc.) with publishers or apparent publishers. 

 That’s why we created a checklist to assist you in your journal publishing efforts

“Clues to quality of journals”

 

The most relevant aspect you should check is if the publisher is credible and well-known and the specific one publisher which the journal page wants you to believe in.

 

Regarding the second aspect `impact factor` we would like to add that the Journal’s Impact Factor does not show perfectly the scientific relevance (see The focus on bibliometrics makes papers less useful):

  • citations do not show if the specific publication is a noteworthy scientific achievement à thus publications often contain popular but rather unimpressive concepts or methods
  • selection of individuals for an academic job is mainly driven by citation statistics or papers in high-impact journals à the “tyranny of bibliometrics tightens its grip” according to Werner
  • when individuals are judged by rather naïve criteria persons tend to adapt and behave not that good but more focused on good and easy money[2]

 

Beside those weaknesses of bibliometrics there also exist journals that apply dishonest methods such as

  1. asking authors to cite the journal articles belonging to the own journal in order to boost its impact factor[3]
  2. payment of the author up front for a paper whereas peer review mentioned by the publisher does not exist (articles will be accepted without any changes)[4]
  3. using faked LinkedIn identities to attract submissions[5]
  4. So-called “special” issues of journals:  scientists are invited to act as a guest editor who usually invites colleagues to contribute papers for this special issue, and all of them have to pay author fees à thus the guest editor acts as the publisher’s agent whereas the publisher benefits from the guest editor’s professional relationships.[6]
  5. manipulation of citation statistics: a fictive author did upload a paper referencing all publications of a research group on an institutional website which then was indexed by GoogleScholar and those citations were added by GoogleMetrics that lead to a remarkable rise of citations[7]
  6. “free membership scheme” for institutions and using the name and reputation of the institution to attract others[8]

Beside the phenomenon of fraudulent journals examples of fraudulent conferences also exist: fraudulent conferences –holding a nearly similar name of a well-established event - take advantage of academics’ desire for recognition by offering the opportunity to hold a presentation or moderate a discussion after paying the fee[9]. To sum it up, the scientists’ desire for recognition is one of the weak points that could be used to undermine the quality of science itself.

Bowland points out that the self-regulating scientific integrity will be reached via peer review and publication standards. As an author please go for rigorous peer review because if this becomes not common practice “the rules of academic engagement are […] broken”[10]

 

We would be glad if you would share your opinion and experiences with us

  • Are there more aspects to add?
  • Which experiences with such methods have you made until now?

 

For informing about developments such as this and other topics related to publishing we created the intranet page OpenScience + Publishing”. This was done also in the light of HZI announcing Axel Plähn as representative for Helmholtz Working Committee OpenScience” (all members from the different Helmholtz institutions can be found here)

NEW Intranet page "Publishing + OpenScience" - Dienstag, 3. März 2015

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Open science, the unrestricted access to scientific publications and cultural heritage, is an ongoing trend in the scientific landscape worldwide. To meet the challenges and to display the goals of Helmholtz Association regarding OpenScience better the Helmholtz Working Committee was renamed to "OpenScience" in November 2014 as it was also described in the 4th issue of InFact (p. 4).

To offer you a central point for information regarding relevant developments in OpenScience and Publishing we created the Intranet page "OpenScience + Publishing" (> Wissenschaft > Bibliothek). Furthermore, it should make transparent the efforts we as the HZI Library put into enabling OpenScience. For example, one important step was developing a policy for HZI OpenRepository that we published in July 2014.

This intranet page consists of

  • our tips and guides dealing with scientific writing and publishing (a collection of remarkable external sources can be found in the Links)
  • implemeted web page of the Helmholtz Working Committee "OpenScience" and
  • our previous announcements regarding publishing

Python for Programming - Donnerstag, 5. Februar 2015

----------------

Dear colleagues,

Nature toolbox suggests Python for Programming and mentions several advantages:

  • simple and easy-to-use syntax,
  • combined with online resources,
  • toolkits that are focused on scientific needs
  • community aspect

"With the explosive growth of 'big data' in disciplines such as bioinformatics, neuroscience and astronomy, programming know-how is becoming ever more crucial. Researchers who can write code in Python can deftly manage their data sets, and work much more efficiently on a whole host of research-related tasks — from crunching numbers to cleaning up, analysing and visualizing data. Whereas some programming languages, such as MATLAB and R, focus on mathematical and statistical operations, Python is a general-purpose language, along the lines of C and C++ (the languages in which much commercial software and operating systems are written). As such, it is perhaps more complicated, Brown says, but also more capable: it is amenable to everything from automating small sets of instructions, to building websites, to fully fledged applications. "

MeSH updated (2015) : use MeSH for searching databases and catalogs - Montag, 5. Januar 2015

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear colleages,

as PubMed announced the MeSH, the controlled vocabulary thesaurus of the National Library of Medicine, is updated (see new descriptors here and changed descriptors here). All details on MeSH you will find in the "Introduction to MeSH". As a helpful tool to find synonyms you can use the MeSH tree structure (see below) or the "MeSH on Demand"-Tool

Descriptors/ controlled terms can be very helpful. For instance, if you search our library catalog for "Zellkultur"(/ "cell culture") you get only 16 items - but if you use the controlled term "Zellkulturtechnik" (/"cell culture techniques") you get 150 hits in the library catalog. You can view the MeSH tree structure for this descriptor to find broader terms or synonyms.

 

Research Trends special issue on the last 10 years - Montag, 5. Januar 2015

----------------------------------------------

As Scopus announced today Research Trends published a special issue on research trends of the recent 10 years mainly focusing on Scopus content. These are the topics of this issue of which we advise to have a look into the 2nd article “A decade’s trends in virology research”

Best regards and a happy and successful year 2015!

Your library team

Scopus increases interoperability with SciVal and introduces new journal metric - Freitag, 5. Dezember 2014

---------------------------------------

Scopus released two new features yesterday:

1) The Scopus header has been redesigned to increase the interoperability with SciVal which is Elsevier’s benchmarking and analytics product.

2) Furthermore a new journal metric has been included: It is called Impact per Publication (IPP)  and allows researchers and librarians to better compare and evaluate journals. It aims on a better comparison of journal performances which can help to decide where to publish. For more information on IPP please visit http://www.journalmetrics.com

More information and screenshots of the recent changes you can find in the release notes.

Nature makes all articles free to view (as read-only) - Dienstag, 2. Dezember 2014

----------------------------------------------

As Nature announced today, all articles and research papers from Nature and further journals of the Nature Publishing Group (e.g. Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, Nature Physics) will be made free to read for 1 year as a start under the following conditions:

  • in a proprietary screen-view format of the software Readcube that can be annotated
  • sharing of links to the read-only/ screen-view format with colleagues possible (*conditions and risks below)
  • but cannot be copied, printed or downloaded
  • this will be done for 1 year and then Nature will evaluate the effects

If you are unsure what you are allowed to do with an NPG paper please have a look into the copyright of the paper: Therefore click on "Rights and Permissions" (Coperyright Clearance Center) below the paper's title and author(s) and select what you would like to do.

Nature and all of its sister journals already allow scientists and their institutions after a delay of six months to freely archive the peer-reviewed manuscripts of their papers on their web pages or institutional repository (green route of Open Access). According to Thomas, 38% of all NPG papers published in this year are immediately being made accessible under the conditions of ‘gold open-access’ in which publishers charge for each paper the authors or their funders, instead of the subscribers.

While choosing a journal please check if the journal in which you want to publish allows (under which conditions) a second publication at SHERPA/RoMEO. In case of questions you can contact us.

Below you will find the original Nature announcement

Addendum from 18.12.2014:

* Nature: Überwachung statt „dark sharing“

Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler geben regelmäßig Kopien von Artikeln an Kollegen ohne entsprechenden Zugang weiter. Die Nature Publishing Group bewirbt seit Kurzem ihr Mittel gegen dieses „dark sharing“: „We know researchers are already sharing content, often in hidden corners of the Internet … we have the technology to provide a … legitimate alternative …“, sagte Timo Hannay, Managing Director of Digital Science. Angehörige von Institutionen mit Zugang zu den elektronischen Zeitschriften der Nature Publishing Group können diese Artikel ab jetzt Dritten mit Hilfe eines Links im Nur-Lese-Modus zugänglich machen. Die gleiche Option erhalten 100 Medien.

Die Nutzung dieses Angebotes ist jedoch mit dem gravierenden Nachteil verbunden, dass sie mit der Zustimmung zu einer umfassenden Überwachung des Nutzungsverhaltens einhergeht. Realisiert wird die Zugänglichmachung mit der Digital-Rights-Managementsoftware Read Cube, ein Produkt der Macmillan Publishing Group, zu der Nature gehört. Die Personen, die einen Link erzeugen wollen, der den Zugang ermöglicht, müssen sich bei Read Cube registrieren. Innerhalb von Read Cube ist es möglich, die Artikel mit Anmerkungen zu versehen. Über Read Cube kann Macmillan nachvollziehen, wer, auf wessen Empfehlung, wann und wie einen Artikel nutzt. Rechtemanagementsoftware wie Read Cube zeichnet detailliert alle Nutzungsdaten auf - Open Science sieht anders aus.

[via Helmholtz Open Science Newsletter: http://oa.helmholtz.de/bewusstsein-schaerfen/newsletter/archiv/newsletter-51-vom-16122014.html#c3780 ]

translated via Google Translate:

Scholars and scientists also provide copies of articles to colleagues without proper access further. Nature Publishing Group advertises more recently her remedy for the "dark sharing": "We know Researchers are already sharing content, oft in hidden corners of the internet ... we have the technology ... To provide a legitimate alternative ..." Timo Hannay said, Managing Director of Digital Science. Staff from institutions with access to electronic journals of the Nature Publishing Group can access using a link in read-only mode, this item now third parties. The same option will get 100 media.

Use of this program, however, has the serious disadvantage that it is accompanied by the approval of a comprehensive monitoring of user behavior. Is realized making available to the digital rights management software Read Cube, a product of Macmillan Publishing Group, part of the Nature. The people who want to create a link that enables access must register at read Cube. Within Read Cube, it is possible to provide the products with annotations. Read about Cube Macmillan can track who, on whose recommendation, when and how a product uses. Rights management software such as Read Cube detailed records on all usage data - Open Science is different.

 

ScienceOpen: Rethinking Scientific Publishing (21. Nov. at 1 p.m. in W0.52) - Donnerstag, 13. November 2014

----------------------------------------------

Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce that the publisher ScienceOpen will give a presentation about “Rethinking Scientific Publishing”

What is it about?

Scholarly publishing is not an end in itself, but the beginning of a dialogue that is increasingly taking place in in the context of the internet. ScienceOpen provides high-quality Open Access publishing services with open, transparent post-publication peer review for its own and over 1.3 million aggregated Open Access publications. At the same time we redefine publishing as one element in a whole suite of networking and communication tools available to the researcher.

Where does it take place? ...at the HZI library, room W0.52

When?  ...on Friday, the 21st of November at 1 p.m. (/ 13 Uhr)

Please take part in this event, learn about their publishing services, their way of Open Access publishing that may lead to a promising and fruitful discussion about publishing aspects.

To give you a first impression I would like to suggest to visit the website of ScienceOpen: www.scienceopen.com/

Furthermore, I recommend to you this rather funny teaser-video of the speaker, Sebastian Alers: http://youtu.be/_DfkoPt7L58

 

We had a good laugh as the time of knocking of work is coming closer wink

SciFinder-Workshop (November 7, 2014) - please register - Freitag, 31. Oktober 2014

---------------------------------------------------------

Dear SciFinder users,

we are pleased to announce the SciFinder training lectures at the HZI library, room W0.52, on Friday 07.11.2014. The training will be held by a representative of CAS (Germany).

Due to rail strike we will offer only one training training lecture at 10:00 a.m. (lasting only until 11.30 a.m.)

You can still register with an email to Mrs. Zimmermann. (If you cannot participate on 07.11. you can later view the recorded version of the training)

Here is the Invitation of the CAS representative including the workshop's topics:

"Dear scientists of Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung

My name is Karin and I am happy to be your local SciFinder Trainer in Germany.
As SciFinder keeps developing further constantly I am very happy to offer you a SciFinder Session on site.

If one, or more of the following topics is not familiar to you, you will benefit from a SciFinder Training for sure.

Structure information:

  • searching for compound fragments, similar compounds use substructre search besides of the exact structure search
  • starting you structure search via Property information
  • import large structures via smile/INCHI or directly start your search from Chembiodraw Ultra Version 14
  • check not only the example structures from patents but as well the generic structures in patents via markush

Reaction information:

  • Search full reactions and additional (half reactions) in one go
  • search the reactions precise, eliminate non wanted results by atom mapping and make/brake bonds (– what is the differens in between the two options?)
  • use non participating functional groups
  • get new ideas via looking for similar reactions
  • plan complex synthesis with the Sciplanner
  • use the largest collection of experimental procedures to shorten the time needed to read the experimental procedure found in the document/patent
  • search for catalysts in reactions
  • search for metal organics, sugars, stereochemistry (as well as product compound of a reaction)

Text information:

  • describe your text search in a way that it generates multiple answer sets, use of prepositions, use of operators if beneficial
  • get to the core of a large answer set: use the intellectual indexing of CAS data with the analyze and categorize – know about the benefits and risks doing that
  • use related information, not only documents cited/citing but as well substances described and reactions contained
  • evaluate the indexing before you start to enhance precision
  • stay current with keep me posteds and comine answer sets to exclude content (or compounds or reactions)
  • searching for organisms or proteins

The session will take your examples to look into the searching areas you select.

Please register for the training with Mrs. Birgit Zimmermann and let us know the block/s you are interested in.
If you miss a certain area, please let us know that by mail too.

We will design the SciFinder Training day on site at room W0.52 with individual sessions of 2 h length max and let you know when which topic will be dealt with.

Thank you very much for reading this mail to the very end ;-)

Looking forward to get to know you in person

Karin"

The Rise of Open Access - Donnerstag, 16. Oktober 2014

---------------------------------------------------------

As next week the webinar “Science is open: an introduction to Open Access” for PhD students (for details [addendum on 03.11.2014: and slides] please visit the library page in the Intranet) will take place we once more want to focus on Open Access vs. traditional publishing.

 

Van Norden points out that the prices for journals rose more than the inflation in the past years[1]. Although nearly no publisher makes the profit margins fully available[2], “analysts estimate profit margins at 20-30%[3] which also we can confirm with our subscription fees of the recent years.

 

In addition, Michael Eisen, co-founder of PLoS, criticizes that the community of scientific experts performs peer review for free, but the publishers of subscription-journals charge several billion dollars per year.

 

In 2010 Alma Swan reviewed several studies on Open Access: The majority of the reviewed studies reveal that scientists are able to get better recognition when they publish in open access-journals (as these are made available for everyone) instead of otherwise unavailable articles.[4] Thus the open access-articles are better citable as well. Another advantage of open access is the fact that the earlier a paper is made available the more it may influence the citing of it.[5]

 

Cameron Neylon makes visible the increase of Open Access articles per publisher:

 

http://previews.figshare.com/985481/preview_985481.jpg

Abb. 1: Neylon, Cameron (2013): Scale of OA Publishing http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.650794

Bernd Mittermaier, librarian of Forschungszentrum Jülich, evaluated the shares of OA-articles related to all articles in Web of Science and also proves that the relevance of Open Access is rising:

 

Abb. 2: Mittermaier, Bernd (2014): (Gold) Open Access – eine disruptive Technologie? - Bibliothekartag 2014. http://www.opus-bayern.de/bib-info/volltexte//2014/1689/, page 11

 

How do the journal publishers get their money?

As the STM Report 2012 (STM = Science, Technology and Medicine) shows, the revenues of journal publishers come primarily from academic library subscriptions (68-75% of the total revenue), followed by subscriptions of profit organizations (15-17%), advertising (4%), personal subscriptions/ membership fees (3%), and various author-side payments (3%).[6]

Is such a business model the best one? Is it fair that non-profit organizations have to pay three times more than profit organizations?

Van Norden provokes with his rhetoric question: Would scientists’ appreciation for subscription journals hold up if costs were paid by authors rather than spread among subscribers?[7]

 

Obviously, there is no perfect solution that fits all. But we hope that we were able showing that all of us – you as our researchers and staff  members, libraries, funders and publishers – live in a complex, interdependent world. The business models of open access would be more suitable and provide greater opportunities for you as researcher. A rather simplistic equation of ‘open’ with ‘good’ and ‘closed’ with ‘bad’ is short-sighted as the degree of openness is determinate by definitions: If we use the concept of barrier we come to the result that barriers protect something as well as exclude specific groups.[8] The above-mentioned webinar is perfect to discuss the aspects of Open Access.

 

How can all of you contribute? The suggested approach can be found on http://www.bibliotheca-open.helmholtz-hzi.de/en-us/zeitschriften/openaccess/ihreoa-vorgehensweise.aspx

As more than 60 % of journals allow their authors the deposit of published articles into institutional repositories, only few do so - unless prompted by funder mandates. . Hopefully, this will change. Beside our publication database and HZIOpenRepository there exists BioRxiv (pendant of ArXiv, further details in our News from 22 April 2014) where as many articles can be published as you want (ArXiv’s operational costs per article: 10 $[9])

Zwei Premieren in der Bibliothek / 2 premieres in the library - Donnerstag, 4. September 2014

_________________________________________________

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kolleginnen,

wir haben zwei Premieren in diesem und letzten Monat:

1) seit 1.9. bilden wir nun auch unseren 1. FAMI zum Fachangestellten für Medien- und Informationsdienste aus und können Marius Hentze zu unserem Team zählen. Wir wünschen Marius eine gute Zeit mit vielen neuen Eindrücken, guten Erfahrungen und schönen Herausforderungen.

Einen kleinen Blick in die internen Abläufe und Arbeitsbereiche einer Bibliothek können Sie, Marius und weitere interessierte FaMis und Schüler in diesem Video (via bibliothekarisch.de) der Uni Osnabrück erhalten:

 

2) seit August gibt es mit unserer Aktion "Books to go" auch Freizeitlektüre in unserer Bibliothek (siehe Mail vom 5.8.2014). PS: nein, wir kommen fast nie zum Lesen in unserem Job und sind froh, wenn wir es schaffen, uns mit Artikeln zu bibliothekarischen Themen auf dem Laufenden zu halten. ;) Die Büchertausch-Aktion "lebt" natürlich durch Ihre Mithilfe. Falls Sie noch nicht den Bücherwagen in unserer Leseecke inspiziert haben, können wir Ihnen schon einmal verraten, dass dieser eine interessante, breite Vielfalt bietet. yes Schon einmal vielen Dank (!) an alle, die bisher daran beteiligt waren. Die jetzigen vertretenden Bücher auf dem Bücherwagen möchten übrigens auch weiterhin gelesen werden.

Wir möchten Sie hiermit auch noch einmal auf unsere eReader-Ausleihe hinweisen: An unserer Informationstheke können Sie verschiedene eBook-Reader ausleihen. Details hierzu finden Sie im Intranet auf unserer "ebooks"-Seite.

Natürlich freuen wir uns auch weiterhin über Ihr Feedback zu unseren Aktionen, Neuerungen, Info-Meldungen, Service, Bibliotheksseiten etc. smiley

---------

we have two firsts in this and the last month:

1) since 1.9.2014 we train our first FAMI as a specialist in media and information services and welcome Marius Hentze in our team. We wish Marius a good time with many new impressions, good experiences and great challenges.
- A good insight into the internal processes and work areas in a library gives you, Marius and other interested FAMIS and pupils the video above of the University of Osnabrück.

2) in August our campaign "Books to Go" started so that there are also books leisure reading in our library (see mail of 8/5/2014). PS: no, we almost never get down to read in our job and are happy when we manage to stay up-to-date via library-related articles ;) Of course, the book exchange campaign "lives"  from your assistance. If you have not inspected the book trolley in our reading area until now, we can already tell you that it consists of an interesting, wide variety. yes thanks (!) to all who already participated. By the way: The current representative books on the cart wants to be read.

We would like to also point out once again to our eReader-Lending: At our information desk you can borrow various eBook-reader. Details can be found on the intranet on our "ebooks" page.

Of course we continue to look forward to your feedback on our actions, improvements, alerts, services, library pages, etc.

 

Tipp: BASE für OpenAccess-Publikationen nutzen - Mittwoch, 30. Juli 2014

____________________________________

Liebe Kolleg/-innen,

Sie sind auf der Suche nach OpenAccess-Publikationen? Nutzen Sie BASE / Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, um an OpenAccess-Dokumente institutioneller Repositories heran zu kommen. BASE verbessert gerade das Ranking  der Treffer (siehe Blogpost vom 29.7.2014):

„Das Ranking, also die Reihenfolge, in der die Treffer ausgegeben werden, richtet sich nach verschiedenen Kriterien, insbesondere nach der Position und Anzahl der gesuchten Wörter im Text. Kommt ein Wort im Titel vor, wird es entsprechend höher gewichtet, als wenn es z.B. nur im Abstract vorkommt. Auch die Länge von Titeln oder Abstracts hat Auswirkung auf das Ranking. Durch das Boosting werden nun mehr eindeutig gekennzeichnete Open-Access-Dokumente auf der ersten Trefferseite angezeigt.“ (BASE-Weblog, 29.7.2014)

Vorteile:

 

Beispielsuche: infection OR Infektion*, Suchfilter DDC: Medizin und Gesundheit

http://lab.base-search.net/Search/Results?lookfor=infection+OR+%22Infektion*%22&type=allus&oaboost=1&filter[]=f_dcdeweytens%3A%2261%22&sort=relevance&refid=labsorde

(* von den ersten 10 Treffern sind nur 2 Treffer im Index von GoogleScholar enthalten)

Brembs: Digtiale Steinzeit / Digital Stone Age (Laborjournal 2014 issue 7) - Mittwoch, 23. Juli 2014

_________________________________________________________________

Liebe KollegInnen,

In der aktuellen Ausgabe der Zeitschrift "Laborjournal" (die wir sowohl online als auch in Print anbieten) beschreibt der Neurobiologie-Wissenschaftler Brembs die Hürden, die die Verlage im digitalen Zeitalter aufbauen. Er beschreibt hier sehr anschaulich, was den Prinzipien des OpenAccess in der Realität entgegensteht. 

=> Prädikat: sehr lesenswert!

-----------------

Dear colleagues,

In the recently published issue of the Laborjournal (which we offer as an eJournal as well as in print) describes the neurobiology-scientist Brembs the barriers that are built up by the publishers nowadays. He describes vividly how the science with respect to the OA principles lack of an open digital infrastructure (see in english here, translated via GoogleTranslate) => rating: worth reading!

Altmetrics in allen Nature & Wiley-Zeitschriften/ Altmetrics integrated in all Nature Wiley-journals - Mittwoch, 9. Juli 2014

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Liebe KollegInnen,

am 9.Mai haben wir schon einmal das Thema "Impact-Factor & additional information“ angeschnitten (siehe unten). Nun zeigt sich wieder einmal, dass neben ImpactFaktoren auch weitere Methoden der Relevanzmessung immer wichtiger werden:

Nach einer 4-monatigen Testphase hat Wiley nun für alle Wiley-Zeitschriften die Altmetrics* integriert. - Der Anbieter Nature Publishing Group setzt Altmetrics seit Oktober 2012 ein.

--------

Dear colleagues,

on 9th of May we already gave a short introduction regarding the topic "Impact factors & additional information" (see below). Now it becomes more and more clear that beside the Impact Factor additional methods will become more important for measuring the relevance:

After a test period of 3 month Wiley implemented Almetrics* for all Wiley-journals. - The provider Nature Publishing group implemented altmetrics since October 2012.

* Das System Altmetrics (oder "Alternative metrics") analysiert, wie häufig Publikationen in Social Media, Literaturverwaltungssystemen oder herkömmlichen Websites genannt werden. ./ Altmetrics (or "alternative metrics") analyses how often publications are mentioned in Social Media, Reference management systems or websites.

Wiley-Altmetrics

Über "see more details" erhalten Sie die Auflistung aller Nennungen. Vollständig enthalten sind bisher jedoch nur die Details des Dienstes twitter, die geografische Verteilung der Nennungen ("Demographics") und der Altmetrics-Score ("Score"). / By clicking "see more details" you get an overwiew of all mentions. Until now this overview contains only in-depth information of Twitter, the geographical distribution ("Demographics") and the Altmetrics-Score ("Score").

 

 

(Die Details für Mendeley und CiteUlike sind noch nicht vollständig eingebunden, werden aber zukünftig einmal sichtbar sein und die Nennung in weitere Diensten/ Portalen werden wahrscheinlich anschließend folgen. / The in-depth information for Mendeley and CiteUlike is missing until now but will be visible soon. Additional tools/ services/ portals will most likely follow.)

Vorteile der Altmetrics/ advantages of Altmetrics:

  • visualisieren die Verbreitung und Kommunikation über eine Publikation (mit der Entwicklung neuer DiscoveryTools werden neben der herkömmlichen Relevanzmessung auf Journalebene alternative Methoden nötig und schätzungsweise auch bei weiteren Anbietern implementiert). / visualizes the distribution and communication regarding a specific publication ( with the upcoming additional discovery tools additional tools are necessary beside measuring the relevance from the journal's level that will be implimented by other providers, too).
  • erlaubt Autoren und Leser einen direkten Zugang zur Kommunikation über bestimmte Publikationen, bestimmte Publikationstypen oder regionale Verteilung / allows authors and readers direct access to the communication itself about specific publications, specific publication types or geographical distribution.

Bei unserem HZI-Tippspiel können Sie sich entweder vom a) Bauchgefühl oder b) Sympathien oder aber c) von statistischen Zahlen leiten lassen - für letzteres bieten wir Ihnen  Recherchinhos wink (abgeleitet vom Namen eines sehr bekannten Spielers) Recherchetipps zur WM 2014 :

Allgemeine statistische Informationen zu vergangenen Weltmeisterschaften erhalten Sie beispielsweise bei Planet World Cup. Dort können Sie unter anderem herausfinden, welche Nationalmannschaft wie oft im Finale stand.

(Diese Favoritenliste wird übrigens von Brasilien und Deutschland mit jeweils sieben Finalteilnahmen angeführt). Aber haben diese Statistiken wirklich eine Aussagekraft für zukünftige (Welt)Meisterschaften? Der aktuelle Weltmeister Spanien war bisher nur ein einziges Mal ins Finale gekommen.

Auch auf anderen Webseiten finden Sie zahlreiche Statistiken,beispielsweise auf MyFootballFacts.com oder auf WorldcupHistory.com.

Die Datenbank Statista enthält übrigens Statistiken zu zahlreichen Themen, zum Beispiel aus Marktstudien oder zu politischen und sozialen Themen, aber auch zum Fussball. Zur Weltmeisterschaft in Brasilien wird Ihnen dort sogar ein Statista-Dossier zur Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2014 (nicht frei zugänglich) und der 2014 World Cup Preview - allerdings haben wir diese Datenbank nicht lizensiert. Außerdem sind die Quellenangaben bei Statistiken in statista meist recht dürftig.

Glaubwürdiger sind da wohl eher Statistiken des Statistischen Bundesamtes, beispielsweise gäbe es da einen ganz besonderen Ländervergleich nach Fußballkennzahlen der teilnehmenden Länder (Reiter "Fußball").

Auch sportmedizinische Themen sind beispielsweise in SCOPUS zu finden - ganz aktuell dieser Artikel "Physical activity during a prolonged congested period in a top-class European football team".

 

Nicht nur über Teams können Sie sich informieren, sondern auch über einzelne Fussballspieler. Am bekanntesten und vermutlich umfangreichsten ist Transfermarkt.de: Egal, ob Sie Informationen zu Spielern der deutschen Nationalmannschaft suchen, zu einem Bundesliga-Verein oder zu Brisbane Roar.

Auch die Bibliothek wünscht Ihnen und uns viel Spaß bei der WM und beim HZI-Tippspiel.

Beste Grüße aus der Bibliothek.

Today the World Cup starts in Brazil with the opening match between Brazil and Croatia :) There are hot debates who will win the title or which player is top scorer. In our HZI World Cup betting game your bet can be derived by a)  feeling or b) sympathy or c) statistical numbers. For the latter we offer Recherchinhos (derived from the name of a very famous player) Search Tips for 2014 World Cup:

General statistical information about past World Championships you receive for example at Planet World Cup. There you can find out, which nation was in the final.

(This list is led by Brazil and Germany, each with seven finals). But are these statistics really meaningful for future (World) Championships? The current world champion Spain was only once in the final.

Also on other websites you will find a variety of statistics, e.g. on MyFootballFacts.com or WorldcupHistory.com.

The database Statista contains statistics on numerous topics, even regarding football. Regarding the World Cup in Brazil there exists a Statista-dossier for the Football World Cup 2014 and the 2014 World Cup Preview  (not in open access - statista is not licenced by us). In addition, the source information for statistics in statista are usually quite poor.

More credible are probably the statistics of the Federal Statistics Office, e.g. a country comparison regarding football (tab "football").

Even sports medicine's articles you can find in SCOPUS - a recently published article is this one: "Physical activity during a prolonged congested period in a top-class European football team".

Furthermore you can explore information regarding individual football players. Probably the best known and the most comprehensive is Transfermarkt.de: Whether you're looking for information on players from the German national team, a team of the 1. Bundesliga or Brisbane Roar.

The library wishes you and us a lot of fun at the World Cup and at the
HZI World Cup betting game.

HZI now has an Institutional Participants Account with PLoS (Public Library of Science)! - Freitag, 23. Mai 2014

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

From now on when submitting manuscripts to PLoS please choose “Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research” as your institutional account via http://www.plos.org/get-involved/institutional-account-program/program-participants/

The invoice will be send to the HZI library as a monthly collective invoice. So, when submitting your paper to PLoS please send also a short note and your Kostenstelle/account to the library (apl@helmholtz-hzi.de). Otherwise we will ask you for it when receiving the collective invoice. Thank you.

At this time PLoS is not part of our Institutional Open Access Fund, which means that your PLoS articles are not paid from the library but from your account. During the first year or 1 ½ we will have a look at the number of publications and their costs. Then we can see if it’s possible to extend our Open Access Publications Fund.

Our Open Access Publications Fund allows you to publish your research without being charged for it and cooperates with the following publishers/Gold Open Access journals:

BioMed Central, SpringerOPEN, Wiley OPEN, Copernicus.

For more information regarding Open Access and the best publication procedure please have a look onto the page OpenAccess.

Impact-Factor & additional information - Freitag, 9. Mai 2014

__________________________________________________________

Sind Impact-Faktoren auch für Sie relevant? Wahrscheinlich sind Ihnen die Vor- und Nachteile der Impact-Faktoren bekannt?

Korrekte Angaben zum ImpactFaktor erhalten Sie eher bei Fachdatenbanken wie SCOPUS oder Web of Science>Journal Citation Report als bei Google. Auch aus diesem Grund haben wir diese beiden Datenbanken für Sie erworben.

Wollen Sie mehr speziell über den h-index erfahren?

"The h-index is an index that attempts to measure both the productivity and impact of the published work of a scientist or scholar." (Scopus-blog)

Im Scopus-Blog wird der h-Index näher vorgestellt:

http://blog.scopus.com/posts/the-scopus-h-index-what-s-it-all-about-part-i? (Teil 1)

http://blog.scopus.com/posts/the-scopus-h-index-whats-it-all-about-part-ii (Teil 2)

Wir beraten Sie gern auch zur allgemeinen Vorgehensweise beim Publizieren.

Derzeit werden beispielsweise auch für OpenAccess-Zeitschriften spezielle Verfahren zur Messung des Impact-Faktors entwickelt. Weitere alternative Verfahren (z.B. für Veröffentlichungen in social networks etc.) werden unter dem Begriff Altmetrics/ „Alternative metrics“ zusammengefasst.

näheres zum Thema

Ein schönes Wochenende und anschließend eine gute neue Woche wünscht

Ihr Bibliotheksteam

-----

Are impact factors also relevant for you? Probably you know the pro's and con's of the impact factors? You get a valid impact factor via specialized databases such as SCOPUS or Web of Knowledge's Journal Citation Report more likely than from Google. That's one of the reasons why we purchased these two databases for you.

Do you want to get to know more about h-index? In the Scopus-blog the h-index is described in detail:

http://blog.scopus.com/posts/the-scopus-h-index-what-s-it-all-about-part-i? (Part 1)

http://blog.scopus.com/posts/the-scopus-h-index-whats-it-all-about-part-ii (Part 2)

We also assist you regarding the general procedure for publishing.

Currently specific methods for measurement of Open Access journals are been developed. Additional alternative methods (eg for publications in social networks , etc.) are summarized by the term Altmetrics / " alternative metrics ".

Have a nice week,

your library team

Dissertationen-Regal /Final theses-shelf - Mittwoch, 30. April 2014

____________________________________________________________________

Liebe Bibliotheksnutzer,

wir haben mal wieder Platz im Dissertationen-Regal geschaffen und die Regelbereiche mit den Anfangsbuchstaben der Autoren beschriftet. (Das Dissertationen-Regal finden Sie am Ende der Bibliothek neben den Neuerwerbungen und im Regal selbst die Abschlussarbeiten von gegenwärtigen und früheren Mitarbeitern des HZI/ GBF, die Sie sich auch ausleihen können.)

Übrigens haben wir auch zwei Publikationen von Gott - zumindest laut Signaturschild ;) ...na ja, eigentlich ist diese Publikation von Frau Gottwales ;)

Sind Sie neugierig geworden? Schauen Sie sich doch einmal im Dissertationen-Regal um.

----

Dear library user,

we have once again created more space in the theses' shelf and labeled the areas with the initials of the authors. (The theses' shelf is located at the end of the library next to the new acquisitions and the shelf itself contains the theses of current and former employees of the HZI / GBF, which you can also borrow.)

Incidentally, we also have 2 publications from "Gott" (God) - at least according to the signature sign;) ... well, actually, this publication is written by Mrs. Gottwales;)

Got curious? Take a look around in the theses' shelf.

 

Preprint-archive bioRxiv for Live Sciences - Dienstag, 22. April 2014

______________________________________________________________________

(pronounced "bio-archive")  is a welcome addition to the disciplinary repositories (see ROAR). BioRxic is a pendant to arXiv (the preprint server for physics with nearly one million preprints) and has the following benefits:

• Preprint servers make research findings available quickly,
• get feedback on your paper before it is formally peer-reviewed
• revised versions of articles are possible;
• assigned articles get a digital object identifier (doi), so they become citable, and thus cannot be removed.
• read articles online for free
• Submission, storage, and access are free (the costs are paid by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

If you intend to publish an article you also can upload your preprint to BioRxiv via the following steps:

1. Check on SHERPA/Romeo if your favoured publisher allows preprints (Color „Green“ or „Yellow“)
2. assign your article to one of the 23 life science subject areas and
3. categorize it as New Results, Confirmatory Results, or Contradictory Results.
4. your article will not be peer-reviewed, but it will be screened for relevant information (anybody can submit a paper, but not everything will be posted: A group of more than 40 "affiliate" scientists have agreed to screen submissions)

In November 2013 bioRxiv was launched by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), an online repository for unpublished preprints in the life sciences. The idea is not new ‘cos 14 years ago the former director of NIH Harold Varmos suggested to launch a preprint server for biology papers but critics shot it down – on the other hand this idea led to PubMed Central (NIH’s archive of published manuscripts).

More information about bioRxiv:

- About bioRxiv [bioRxiv]
- bioRxiv-Video [bioRxiv]
- Submission Guide [bioRxiv]

PS: Although bioRxiv does not cover medicine, PeerJ PrePrints does (along with all of the life, biological, biomedical and health sciences).

Liebe Mitarbeiter/-innen, die Bibliothek bietet Ihnen (analog zur Kantine) eine Oster-Aktion, damit Sie mal auf andere Gedanken kommen können  Wir haben für Sie Nester gefüllt – nicht nur mit Süßem, sondern auch einige Nester mit etwas ohne Zucker. Diese Nester haben wir in der Bibliothek versteckt: nicht nur zwischen den Regalen ;-) Außerdem enthalten die Nester jeweils einen Tipp von uns. Das Verstecken hat viel Spaß gemacht  Genauso wünschen wir viel Spaß beim Suchen! Für die, die alle Nester finden möchten: es sind insgesamt 7 Nester, die diese Woche und nächste Woche in einigen Ecken der Bibliothek versteckt sind Kommen Sie zahlreich : wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch. Herzliche Grüße und bald eine schöne Osterzeit wünscht Ihnen Ihr Bibliotheksteam

PubMed offers links to systematic reviews - Freitag, 4. April 2014

___________________________________________________

Mit diesem neuen Feature können Sie direkt von einer klinischen Studie zu dem(/den) Review(s) gelangen.

Diese Box ersetzt jedoch nicht das Feature "Related citations in Pubmed", welches Sie immer noch unter diesem neuen Feature "Cited by ... systematic reviews" finden.

-------------

With this new feature users can go straight from a clinical trial to systematic reviews which considered this clinical trial.

Please note that this new feature does not replace "Related citations in Pubmed" which you will still find below that box.

"One trial is rarely enough to provide definitive answers. The results of one trial can seem to be contradicted by another. Knowing it’s part of a systematic review is an important step in helping people look at evidence in context." (Pubmed-blog, 21st Feb 2014)

Neue Art des gemeinsamen Publizierens/ new way of combined publishing: BookSprint - Freitag, 14. März 2014

______________________________________________________________________________________

Liebe HZI-Angehörigen,

in der Mailingliste Inetbib wurde auf eine neue Art des gemeinsamen Publizierens hingewiesen, was mit ePublishing2.0 umschrieben werden könnte:
Video [TIB - OpenScienceLab] über das Projekt, die Möglichkeiten des gemeinsamen Publizierens etc.

Da es auch für Sie interessant sein könnte möchten wir diese Meldung hier zitieren:

"Betreff: [InetBib] Book Sprint CoScience

Liebe KollegInnen,

im Kontext des Leibniz Forschungsverbundes Science 2.0 haben wir, als Open Science Lab der TIB, letzte Woche in Hannover eine interessante Premiere gehabt, einen Book Sprint für ein deutschsprachiges (!) Handbuch zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten.

12 eingeladene ExpertInnen haben daran mitgeschrieben. Unter http://handbuch.io sowie (noch bis Freitag) auf der CeBIT in Hannover ist das Ergebnis zu besichtigen. In einigen Blogs wurde bereits berichtet und diskutiert über diesen neuartigen Weg, eine "Open Educational Resource" im Themenbereich der (wenn man diesen Begriff denn verwenden mag) Informationskompetenz auf wissenschaftlichem Niveau zu entwickeln.

Besonders ans Herz legen möchte ich Ihnen natürlich meine eigenen "Lessons Learned", die in den Kommentaren des TIB-Blogs gerade von ausgewiesenen Expertinnen der Methode "Book Sprint" kommentiert und diskutiert werden:

http://blogs.tib-hannover.de/tib/2014/03/11/video-und-erste-lessons-learned-der-book-sprint-coscience-geht-ins-web-und-auf-der-cebit-weiter/

Ein nettes kleines Video über den Book Sprint CoScience ist darin (sowie bei YouTube) übrigens auch zu finden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftCm6rY2INs#t=73

Viele Grüße von der CeBIT,

Lambert Heller"

-----------

In the mailing list Inetbib a new way of combined publishing was announced that could be described as "ePublishing2.0": In the context of Leibniz Research Association Science 2.0 the OpenScience Lab of the TIB Hannover initiated a Book Sprint for a German-speaking (! ) Handbook for scientific work and it took place in Hannover last week.

12 invited experts helped writing it. At http://handbuch.io and ( until today ) at the CeBIT/ Hannover (hall 9, stand C28), the result can be seen. Some blogs have already been reported and discussed this novel way
to develop  an " Open Educational Resource ".

A nice little video about the Book Sprint CoScience describes pictorially how the Book sprint works:
