foundationsvocation

Strengthen scientific communication/ high quality journals from developing countries

moving to electronic publishing in a way that addresses the chronic problems that affect scientific journals in developing countries

increase visibility, accessibility and credibility of regional/local high quality journals

measure usage and impact

improve quality of journals

inclusion in the global flow of scientific information

LA&C, Portugal and Spain journals. Probable universe:

- 2004 up to 300 titles and about 12000 articles per year- 2007 up to 500 titles and about 20000 articles per year

Methodology for electronic publishing

SciELO Model Methodology -2

selection, preparation, storage, preservation, publication, dissemination and evaluation of scientific publications

compatible with international standards and initiatives

adequate to developing countries conditions

cooperative development – capacity building

public domain within SciELO Network

interchange w/ developing countries projects: INASP/AJOR, Latindex, etc.

SciELO Model - Methodology -3

main features/chracteristics

interface to browse journals, search articles and indicators of usage and impact

links to other information sources- author name CvLAC/ScienTI- bibliographic reference bibliographic record

links from other information sources- author CvLAC/ScienTI articles- bibliographic records articles

export metadata to bibliographic data bases

selection criteria – entry and remain in a collection

markup and load into a database

SciELOModel

Sites

application of the SciELO methodology on the operation of collections of scientific journals on the Internet/Web

implemented at national, sub-regional, regional, thematic levels

coordinated by – national/regional institution

quality control and development by an Editorial Committee

selection criteria

scientific, with peer-review

frequency, update and time of operation

articles: títle, abstract and keywords in English

standards of organization, presentation, bibliographic rules

indexed in international and national databases

indicators: usage, impact, links, etc.

preservation – national collection: copies in CD-ROM, DVD, mirrors

ScieloModel

NetworkofSciELO Sites

SciELO sites from LA, C, Portugal & Spain

partnership: national and international scientific and technological related institutions, scientific editors and publishers, libraries, etc.

a SciELO Portal will provide access through out the decentralized network of SciELO sites

formalization of the network in the near future

coordination instances, certification, etc.

common methodology, quality controls and indicators across the network

national, local, thematic specific applications

Contribute to the formulation and implementation of national policies on scientific communication

3SciELO

foundationstrendsperspectives SciELO as an index to support scientific journals

national policies and programs. In progress in Brazil and Chile

integrating national, regional and international research management information systems. Ex. Plataforma Lattes, CvLAC, ScienTI, SHARED, I-Research, etc.

enriching the mechanisms for the evaluation of research programs, institutions, networks and groups

integrating to the national and international programs for accessing electronic journals

SciELOtrends perspectives

challenges&conclusions

move towards full [only] electronic publishing

articles submitted according to markup templates to facilitate load into databases, links, statistics

fast publishing, low costs

methodology/technology – big challenges

make it easier and portable and pervasive

search across the network – Web Services technology

search across multilingual contents, show results ordered by relevance

statistical reports – standard group of statistics, indicators, export data for further process

linking - text based links and content based links

Other materials: thesis, proceedings, etc.

improve / measure quality of scientific journals

indicators of usage and impact publicly available

improve quality control across SciELO Network, increasing the usage / interchange of peer reviewers and experience

SciELOtrends perspectives

conclusions

consolidate the SciELO Network

Ideal network in the next 2 yearsArgentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Spain and Venezuela

sustainabilitynational programs to support scientific journals

searching for/building core collections

integrate SciELO in national programs of accessing electronic information sources

going fully electronic to lessen costs
