Contents History of Academic Publishing Web Based Academic Publishing Social Network Based Publishing Open Access Publishing Open Access Library

History of Academic Publishing Paper Based, invented by Cai Lung in Song Dynasty of China 1000 yrs ago Web Based Publishing, 20 yrs ago Social Network Based Publishing, 5 yrs ago

Paper Based Publishing High Cost for Printing, Mailing and Storage == 》 Low Acceptance Rate due to the Limited Budget Slow Communication due to Air 、 Land 、 Sea Slow Shipping Speed Limited Coverage Due to Cost and Biz Model

Traditional Academic Publishing Scientific Articles are stored in Databases developed by a few big publishers University libraries have to buy these databases, it is very expensive ! The Library Budget is limited  That is why indexing is needed

Current Status of Academic Publishing 2 million plus papers published per year The most valuable asset of human beings R & D funded by Tax money Hiding in disordered journals, pay to read, hard to access

Can Anyone Judge Any Hypothesis? Different editors, different taste Many Important Articles failed to publish in world famous journals Journal Ranking and Indexing Controlled by a small group of people

Indexing, Impact Factors? Journal, or Article Level ? Traditional IF: average of many articles and over a long period of time  Makes no sense Article Level: Citations of an article is better than IF of a journal Google Scholar provides better citation counts

Traditional Publishing needs to be CHANGED The Internet changed the world Search Engine indexes everything Free access to contents Traditional Journals are expensive and hard to maintain Governments want the change, scientists want the change

How Many Times an Academic Article will be read in a life time? In traditional model of publishing: 7 times on average per article Open Access Model: 1000 times per year per article More audiences, high impact factor

Open Access Model Pay by the author (usually funded) Free to the readers Rapid Peer-review Paper get judged by every reader (quality control)

Open Access Publishing Started about 12 years ago New Business Model and Internet Based It is new and very promising

Quality Control of Open Access Publishing Peer-reviewed, same as traditional journals Editor in Chief or assigned Technical Editor makes the decision of acceptance or not Some publishers tried post-publishing reviews
