科学家和他们的机构能成为他们自己的开放获取出版商吗?

Can scientists and their institutions become their own open access publishers?

Karen Shashok

摘要:

这篇文章提供了一个关于学术出版现状的个人观点,并假定科学界被那些贡献很少有价值的知识的期刊所困扰,使社区的高质量同行评审能力过载,浪费资源。开放获取出版可以提供有益于研究人员和其他信息用户以及机构和资助者的解决方案,但商业期刊出版商影响了开放获取政策和实践,使其在知识创造和共享方面的经济利益高于其他利益相关者。将研究从获取限制中解放出来的一种方法是开放获取出版的钻石路线,在这条路线中,产生新知识的机构和资助者通过机构期刊或其他开放平台重新承担出版责任。我认为,研究期刊(尤其是那些以盈利为目的的期刊)可能不再适合于目的,并希望读者考虑是否已经到了将出版责任重新交给研究人员及其机构的时候了。探讨了从营利性期刊转向机构开放获取出版的潜在优势和挑战。

英文摘要:

This article offers a personal perspective on the current state of academic publishing, and posits that the scientific community is beset with journals that contribute little valuable knowledge, overload the community's capacity for high-quality peer review, and waste resources. Open access publishing can offer solutions that benefit researchers and other information users, as well as institutions and funders, but commercial journal publishers have influenced open access policies and practices in ways that favor their economic interests over those of other stakeholders in knowledge creation and sharing. One way to free research from constraints on access is the diamond route of open access publishing, in which institutions and funders that produce new knowledge reclaim responsibility for publication via institutional journals or other open platforms. I argue that research journals (especially those published for profit) may no longer be fit for purpose, and hope that readers will consider whether the time has come to put responsibility for publishing back into the hands of researchers and their institutions. The potential advantages and challenges involved in a shift away from for-profit journals in favor of institutional open access publishing are explored.
