Serach, Serendipity & the Researcher ExperienceNASIG
Presenter: Lettie Conrad, Executive Program Manager, Discovery & Product Analysis, SAGE Publishing
When considering academic researchers’ information-seeking and retrieval needs, we often focus on search – optimizing for search, Google-like search for libraries, user preferences for one-box quick-search tools, and so on. But what about unplanned instances of discovery? Are new technologies, such as text mining and natural language processing, enabling new pathways that lead researchers to relevant material, perhaps even leading to surprising new connections across disciplines? Conversely, with the prevalence of satisficing, does serendipity even play a role when searching for information about a scholarly topic?_x000D_
Through a study of undergraduate students and their faculty members, as well as a survey of publisher and website offerings, this talk will summarize common user pathways and how today’s students and faculty use content recommendation tools with recommendations for how libraries and the scholarly communications community might respond.

Getting Published! Exploring strategies, myths and barriers of academic publi...Prof Simon Haslett
Publications are an important aspect of the work of an academic; remaining the principal vehicle through which research is reported, opinions aired, reviews undertaken, and knowledge transferred, and writing is also a useful learning exercise. For many, it also underpins teaching and curricula, means greater success in research grant applications, and a good publication track record is still seen by many institutions as a key recruitment and promotion criteria. Yet traditionally how to get your work published has not been taught, but learnt through trial and error, mainly from rejection by journal editors. This seminar is aimed at inexperienced academic authors and explores and discusses the issues surrounding the strategy and publication of academic work, and addresses some of the myths and barriers that might discourage would-be authors after the research and writing process is complete.
Writing Qualitative Research Reports PowerPointCharita Alston
This document provides guidance on writing qualitative research papers. It discusses that qualitative research is not complete until the report is written, with the researcher analyzing data through reflective steps of writing. The report increases understanding of social phenomena through quotes as evidence for themes. Special challenges include fewer competent referees and journals accepting qualitative papers, which tend to be longer. Sections include introduction, literature review, methods on data collection and analysis, findings using text rather than tables, discussion of limitations and implications, and conclusions. The methods section details the study context and participants, and analytic plan. The results prioritize the story to tell through representative quotations. The discussion links findings to previous research and next steps.

The document summarizes the African Open Science Platform (AOSP), which aims to coordinate open science activities across Africa. It discusses open science principles and the rationale for an African platform to increase collaboration, data reuse, and accelerate discovery. The AOSP is funded by the NRF of South Africa and managed by ASSAf. It focuses on establishing an open data forum, funding research infrastructure and projects, developing open data policies and training, and creating incentives for data sharing. Initial actions include workshops on policy, capacity building, and surveys to inform the platform's development.
This document discusses the FundRef system, which aims to standardize the identification of funders in published research articles. FundRef addresses the problem that funding information is often inconsistently reported by publishers in different locations and formats within articles. It establishes a shared registry of standardized funder names and works with publishers and researchers to integrate funding data into article metadata deposited with CrossRef. This allows funders, researchers and others to more easily search and discover which published articles were supported by particular funding sources.
The document discusses managing content changes like errata, retractions, and updates to published articles. It introduces CrossMark as a service from CrossRef that helps address this issue by providing a standardized way for publishers to associate related content like corrections to the original articles. Clicking the CrossMark logo on an article provides information about any content changes from the publisher. The document outlines how publishers can implement CrossMark by depositing metadata with CrossRef and displaying the CrossMark logo on HTML pages and PDFs.
The document discusses CrossRef Cited-by Linking, which provides publishers and authors a free service to see who is citing their content. It works by having CrossRef members deposit article reference lists, which CrossRef then links to generate a dynamically updated list of forward citations. The document provides examples and explains how publishers can participate by depositing references and querying for cited-by links. Over 400 members participate with over 23 million articles and 475 million cited-by links deposited.
This document summarizes a CrossRef workshop held in South Africa in September 2015. It discusses managing CrossRef DOIs and metadata, including depositing DOIs and metadata, updating changes, and handling content moves between publishers. It also covers using the same DOI for content in multiple languages or on multiple sites through CrossRef's multiple resolution feature.
This document summarizes Geoffrey Bilder's presentation on Crossref's strategic initiatives. It outlines the lifecycle of initiatives from concept development through production. Key initiatives discussed include the DOI event tracking pilot, REST API, data linking services, and tools for small publishers. The presentation provides examples of initiatives at different stages of the lifecycle and lists over 20 organizations collaborating on the Linked Clinical Trials project. It also shares results of a publisher survey on DOI implementation.
This document summarizes a presentation on quality publishing in a digital environment. It discusses key topics like supporting authors, peer review processes, publishing ethics, and anticipating and dealing with problems. The presentation emphasizes establishing clear policies, transparency, managing conflicts of interest, and participating in editorial associations to improve practices.
The document summarizes a CrossRef workshop held in Gauteng, South Africa in September 2015. It introduced CrossRef and its role in managing digital object identifiers (DOIs) to uniquely identify scholarly works, enabling linking between references and cited works. It outlined CrossRef's history and services, including DOI registration and metadata deposit, and encouraging long-term archiving of scholarly works. The document also reviewed CrossRef participation benefits and growing statistics on registered DOIs and annual clicks to publisher sites.
Tydskrif vir Letterkunde is an independent, non-profit Afrikaans literary journal that has been published since 1936. It operates on a shoestring budget relying on small sponsorships, page fees, and volunteer labor. While open access has increased readership, it has also led institutional subscribers to cancel subscriptions. The journal survives by maintaining a print version and charging differentiated page fees, with African authors paying nothing. It values its independence but faces challenges of limited finances and reliance on volunteers.
The document discusses SciELO SA, an open access scholarly publication project established by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) at the request of the South African Department of Science and Technology. SciELO SA aims to increase the visibility, accessibility, indexibility and impact of South African scholarly journals. It has grown significantly since 2014, with the number of titles increasing from 41 to 58, journal issues doubling from 529 to 1,051, and articles growing from 8,844 to 15,967. Starting in 2016, SciELO SA will introduce XML files, Creative Commons licensing, and DOIs for all journals to increase interoperability with international indexes.

3. Aspects of the role of Editor-in-
Chief
• To oversee the functioning of the journal
• To strategise about future developments and scope
• To take overall responsibility for the quality and
integrity of the peer review process
• To ensure that the journal lives up to its vision and
mission
4. Vision
To publish and promote the widest diversity of excellent
South African research for the local and global academic
community and inform policymakers and the public.
Mission
The South African Journal of Science is an open access,
multidisciplinary journal published bimonthly by the
Academy of Science of South Africa. Its objective is to
promote the visibility and impact of South African and African
research by publishing high-quality original research from
Africa or on African-relevant issues that will be of interest to
readers in any discipline and for the benefit of scholars,
educators, the general public and policymakers. It also
provides a forum for discussion of news and developments in
research and higher education.
5. Desk rejection
• Very high rates of desk rejection:
• Out of scope of journal:
• Geography
• Too specialized (not of interest to multidisciplinary audience)
• Competent but tiny scope
• Poor quality:
• Methods very weak (for example, weak reviews)
• Logic of argument clearly flawed (often: conclusions do not
relate to findings)
• Quality of writing/argument makes it difficult to follow
• Originality concerns
6. Probable desk rejection
• Because this is a multidisciplinary journal, I am often not
fully competent to assess the quality and originality of a
submission
• Strategy:
• Refer to relevant AE with my comments and concerns
• Generally will go with AE decision
• Will consider broader role of the journal in assessing this
7. Assigning to AEs and mentees
• A multidisciplinary journal stands or falls on the quality
of its subject specialists – though the EiC can assess
general scope and interest to journal, no EiC has all the
subject-level skills and expertise
• Generally, assigning to subject specialists is easy and
clear
• Sometimes, however, papers straddle two or more areas
so discussion/collaboration may be necessary
• Scope issues beyond the particular expertise of AEs (for
example: econometrics)
