Fwd: Taking the pulse of peer review: read 'Peer review in 2015: a global view'
by Shamprasad Pujar 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

Dear All, It could be of interest to some of you. Regards, S M Pujar Deputy Librarian IGIDR, Mumbai ==================== ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LIBLICENSE <liblicense(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 4:47 AM Subject: Taking the pulse of peer review: read 'Peer review in 2015: a global view' To: LIBLICENSE-L(a)listserv.crl.edu From: "Devine, Elaine" <Elaine.Devine(a)informa.com> Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 10:19:49 +0000 ***APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING*** What do researchers really think about the process of peer review, its timeframes and the realities of submission? How is the daily experience matching to expectations across disciplines? Do researchers still continue to value peer review, and how comfortable (or not) are they with different peer review models? What is their experience of ethical issues during review, such as gender, regional or seniority bias? Peer review in 2015: a global view (authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-in-2015) seeks to answer all this and more, gathering views from those who author research articles, those who review them, and the journal editors who oversee the process. Published by Taylor & Francis Group and now available to read online, it offers a truly 360° perspective on the system which is commonly agreed to be an essential part of research publication, and includes findings from a global online survey as well as focus groups held in China, South Africa and the UK. With responses from over 7,400 researchers globally, and from across the sciences, humanities, social sciences, and medicine, this new white paper is one of the largest research studies into peer review in recent years. It fully explores what current perceptions are on the value of peer review and the issues surrounding it. Read the full white paper, with the accompanying key survey data, on authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/peer-review-in-2015. Best wishes, Elaine Elaine Devine, Communications Manager (Author Relations) Taylor & Francis Group -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Subbiah Arunachalam 27 Oct '15

27 Oct '15

An excerpt from < http://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/2015/10/groundbreaking-presidential-o… > A new and expansive OA Policy from the University of California. Groundbreaking University of California policy extends free access to all scholarly articles written by UC employees Today (26 Oct 2015) the University of California expands the reach of its research publications by issuing a Presidential Open Access Policy, allowing future scholarly articles authored by all UC employees to be freely shared with readers worldwide. Building on UC’s previously-adopted Academic Senate open access (OA) policies, this new policy enables the university system and associated national labs to provide unprecedented access to scholarly research authored by clinical faculty, lecturers, staff researchers, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and librarians – just to name a few. Comprising ten campuses, five medical centers, three national laboratories and nearly 200,000 employees, *the UC system is responsible for over 2% of the world’s* *total research publications. UC’s collective OA policies now cover**more authors than any other institutional OA policy to date*. -- Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
