  1. Trends in scholarly electronic publishing Setting the context for the workshop

  2. Workshops on Electronic Publishing Indian Academy of Sciences Bangalore 8-10 and 13-15 March 2002

  3. What is electronic publishing? • Creation, distribution and sharing of digital content through a variety of electronic media (web, CD-ROM, disk) • True digital publishing - takes advantage of networking tools and multimedia capability

  4. New Practices • Unbundling of articles from issue and volume, published when ready • Quality assurance: new forms of peer review(e.g. Open review, Faculty of 1000) • Valued added publishing: referencing linking and other forms of linking (journals as bundles of links) • International standards for document identification (e.g. Dublin Core, OAI, DOI) • Powerful search capability and specialized search engines

  5. New Concerns • Version control, citation and bibliographic control • Rights management • Long term archiving • Economic models: cost recovery • Practical problems: could print-based practices be easily transferred to the electronic environment?

  6. Conflicting and Overlapping Interests • Publishers: concerned with publishing costs, changing readership, changing user expectations, rights management and archiving. • Authors and scholarly societies: self-publishing, new models for scholarly publishing, quality assurance, rights management and archiving. • Researchers want simple access to complex information space, including easy access to full text and reference linking. • Aggregators: managing content from multiple sources, providing reference linking not just within their own service but to other content providers, ensuring completeness, and rights management and archiving. • Libraries : challenges of keeping up with the flood of new content and new options, providing their users with easy access to information wherever it may happen to reside, rights management and archiving. • Consortia: become very influential through cooperative purchasing and negotiation of licenses; they are concerned with assured access, and, of course, rights management and archiving….CONGRUCENCE??

  7. Decisions about going online • Will the project be based on shared resources of the surrounding environment of facilities?(readiness assessment) • Are there any costs that are directly assigned to the project? (what about long term sustainability?) • What are the personnel implications? (management and planning) • What new skills will need to be acquired? • What are the new opportunities that could be exploited?

  8. Author or Sponsor pay through page charges/handling charges; free to readers (e.g. BioMedCentral (BMC) Institute/Society/University pays, through increasing charges for other services, advertising, subscription savings; e.g. BMJ, online-only Bioline journals Government or other grant (e.g. SciELO, Brazil; NRC, Canada); Institutional e-print archiving Reader or institution pays subscriptions/licensese.g. most established printed journals) Access Models Free to readers Access toll Differential charges to different readers (e.g. BMC, HINARI programme, PERI programme, eFIL…)
