Scientific communication is changing…
Traditional Publishing Current Trends
journals = content containers interdisciplinary databasefor specific discipline = „megajournal“
IF does not provide information article level metricsabout relevance of research
no data available open data
limiting article type to open to reproduction papersoriginal or „new“ research and negative results studies
static publication „living“ document; versioning
closed peer-review open evaluation; anonymous reviewers post-publication peer-review
no credits for reviewer acknowledgement of reviews
no interaction between (open) communication andauthors and readers active feedback
content is paywalled open access (OA)
library pays for APCs paid by governmentaljournal subscriptions or institutional funding partners
authors prefer prestigous andhighly ranked journals to publish ?Alexander Grossmann APE Berlin 19 January 2015

… the challenge
Researchers of all disciplines are bothered by
� Too long publication cycles: several months up to a year.
� No open access to research findings: journals segment and pay-wall content to make it hard to browse and read.
� Too expensive: their libraries cannot afford increasing pricing for research literature.
� No transparency in the review process: Quality assessment via traditional journals is done anonymously behind closed doors.
� No interaction among researchers: print-based workflow in scholarly publishing industry prevents discourse.

… the opportunity
The internet can fundamentally change the
scholarly publishing paradigm
� Immediate publication and worldwide open access.
� No need for journals as “container”.
� Publishing becomes a service and fees can be based on the real costs of publication.
� Research impact can be measured on article level and journal Impact Factors lose meaning.
� Public discourse on scientific research in blogs, social media, scientific networks and on PubMed Commons.
