New Royal Society animation: Publishing your research? How to avoid predatory journals
by Chandrima Roy 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Dear Members, Just thought to share the latest Publishing video that has just been posted on YouTube by the Royal Society, UK: https://youtu.be/sIbpmkh5ORs This video was made with input from DOAJ, COPE and Think Check Submit. The Royal Society Publishing update: With over 360 institutions worldwide signed up to a Royal Society Read & Publish agreement in 2023, thousands of researchers can publish open access articles in the Royal Society journals with no fees at the point of acceptance. With this the number of open access articles increase rapidly as more authors fall under transformative agreements. By the end of 2022, the Royal Society published the highest proportion of open access articles yet at 61%. The publisher launched a new scheme to reward peer reviewers with article processing charge discounts and they have extended content syndication partnership with ResearchGate with the addition of over 100,000 Royal Society journal articles to the platform. There has been further increase in the number of institutions moving to Read & Publish in 2024 and to begin flipping their four main hybrid research journals to gold open access within the coming years, we are expecting the similar response from maximum number of institutions in the coming years. The Royal Society offers over 350 years of research across the whole of science, Transformative Agreements, Open Access Memberships, subscriptions and perpetual access to suit all institutions. To know more about the Royal Society Publishing content and policies, please visit: Journals | Royal Society<https://royalsociety.org/journals/>. Being exclusive representative of the Royal Society Publishing, we will be glad to respond to your direct queries.

Correction to my earlier post on OA books from the MIT Press
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Aug '24

01 Aug '24

Friends, First my apologies for posting some incorrect information on the MIT Press books that are available on open access. It was first brought to my attention by Dr Francis Jayakanth. Thank you Francis. Here is an excerpt from a letter from a senior member of the MIT Press staff: "There are gated/non-OA books on our MIT Press Direct platform in addition to our open access titles. If you wish to view just the open access titles that are available on our platform, please visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/d2o_books. That list should update automatically as new OA titles are added. If you wish to catalog our open access titles and can use MARC <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/MARC-records> records or KBART <https://direct.mit.edu/books/pages/KBART> to do so, we make those available for direct download on our site. Here they are as well: - MARC records are available in three formats: .mrc <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRC.zip> | .mrk <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK.zip> | .mrk8 <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/MARC/OA_MITDirect_MRK8.zip> - KBART Open Access Collection: csv <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/MITPressDirect_OpenAccess.zip> | txt <https://direct.mit.edu/DocumentLibrary/KBART/mitpr_Direct_OpenAccess.txt> We also work with a number of the major discovery services (Clarivate/ProQuest/ExLibris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC WorldCat/WMS) to make our open access books available as a collection." **** In addition, for libraries in India which would like to be participating libraries in the D2O programme, the MIT Press has a special rate (applicable to lower middle income economies according to the World Bank classification. With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009
