Wir freuen uns sehr Mary Tate, Associate Professor, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, auf Einladung von Herrn Prof. Dr. Hartmut Höhle im Rahmen des CDSB-Seminars begrüßen zu dürfen.
Frau Mary Tate, Associate Professor, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, wird einen Vortrag zum Thema " ‚Unbundling‘ the research paper“halten.
Der Vortrag findet am Donnerstag, den 19.11., von 13:45 bis 15:15 Uhr im Raum O 148 statt.
Abstract
The traditional academic publishing model is under unprecedented stress from the increased use of artificial intelligence tools, increased volume of submissions, and intense “publish or perish” pressure on academics which incentivises a focus on their own publishing at the expense of reviewing and editorial work.
Concurrently, publication metrics have become an important currency and end in themselves in many research institutions, while overall trust in science is declining in many communities.
Various initiatives are emerging to counter these trends. PLOS has led the use of Open Science practices, while recently Springer Nature has announced a commitment to Open Science across their range of journals. However, this addresses only a subset of the many challenges facing academic publishing.
In this talk, I draw on my recent experience as co-editor-in-chief of CAIS, some current trends and “futures” research on publishing. I systematically “unbundle” the various value propositions offered in a traditional research paper life-cycle, and examine what future trajectories for these components might look like.
