John’s activity Presented on
Pennsylvania Libraries: Research & Practice
http://d-scholarship.pitt.edu/20662/
Discussed editorial quality for OA journals
Discussed PlumX and altmetrics activities
![Page 20: SPARC and the Library Publishing Coalition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568168a9550346895ddf47aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
John’s highlights - OER
Open educational resources and open textbooks– Hot topic!– Seems like a natural fit– Faculty create these items already– Directly addresses student costs in higher education– Shouldn’t interfere with tenure, publication prestige
![Page 21: SPARC and the Library Publishing Coalition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568168a9550346895ddf47aa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
John’s highlights - DORA
San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment
Initiated by American Society for Cell Biology, editors, publishers (December 2012)
“Improving the ways in which the outputs of scientific research are evaluated”
http://am.ascb.org/dora/
![Page 22: SPARC and the Library Publishing Coalition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568168a9550346895ddf47aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1 general recommendation
“Do not use journal-based metrics, such as Journal Impact Factors, as surrogate measures of the quality of individual research articles, to assess an individual scientist’s contributions, or in hiring, promotion, or funding decisions”
![Page 23: SPARC and the Library Publishing Coalition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568168a9550346895ddf47aa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
17 specific recommendations
Organizations supplying metrics– Provide access to data
Publishers– Don’t promote journals by Impact Factor
Research institutions– Scientific content of a paper, not the JIF, is what matters
Researchers– Change the culture!
Funding agencies– Consider value from all outputs and outcomes generated by
research

Faculty to Liaison Librarian:
“Have you heard about some bill on public access to science and technology research? I think it was introduced by Mike Doyle, our U.S. Representative. Should we really be spending more money on this? I mean, most researchers in our field already have access to research papers, right?”
