DOAJ将引领一项旨在改善OA期刊长期保存的合作项目!
DOAJ、CLOCKSS Archive、Internet Archive、Keeper Registry/ISSN国际中心和Public Knowledge Project(PKP)经协商同意为小型、免APC的开放获取期刊的长期保存提供一条可选途径。 最近由M. Laakso, L. Matthias和N. Jahn撰写的一篇研究文章重新唤起了学术界对由开放获取(OA)期刊传播的学术记录消失的担忧。 他们的研究聚焦在面临消失风险的OA期刊上,“特别是那些资金来源有限的…小型、免论文处理费的期刊”,这些期刊经常“选择较简单的技术解决方案”,而且“无力负担加入长期保存计划的费用”。作者们经过对从开放获取期刊目录(DOAJ)获得的数据分析得出了这样的结论:在DOAJ收录的期刊中只有不到一半参与了长期保存计划。他们的发现“提示当前的数字保存途径在保存大型期刊和老牌出版社的内容方面是成功的,但却把那些面临更大风险的成员抛在了后面。”他们呼吁新的保存倡议,“以发展替代的途径来更好服务于那些没有大型专业出版商支持的小型期刊。” 作为对此呼吁的回应,以上五个组织提出了一项联合倡议,旨在为DOAJ中注册的不收取作者费用的OA期刊(“钻石”OA)提供一个负担得起的保存选项,同时也提高这些期刊的编辑和出版人对于参与一项长期保存解决方案的重视。DOAJ将作为与CLOCKSS、PKP和Internet Archive的单一接口,并促进有兴趣的期刊与这些服务的联系。DOAJ执行总编Lars Bjørnhauge说:“这些组织联手寻找‘消失’期刊问题的解决方案,这令人振奋。缺少资金支持的期刊容易消失,这并不奇怪。我相信我们可以做出些真正的改变。” 有关期刊内容有效保存的报告将由ISSN国际中心(ISSN IC)汇总并发表在Keepers Registry上。ISSN国际中心主任Gaëlle Béquet评论道:“作为Keepers Registry服务的执行者,ISSN国际中心接收来自期刊出版商寻求存档解决方案的咨询。这项计划是我们服务开发的新的一步,以一种透明和多样化的方式来满足用户需要,并且使我们所有的合作伙伴都能够参与其中。” … More
