This study diachronically investigates the trend of the “open access” in the Web of Science (WoS) category of “communication.” To evaluate the trend, data were collected from 184 categories of WoS from 1980 to 2017. A total of 87,997,893 documents were obtained, of which 95,304 (0.10%) were in the category of “communication.” In average, 4.24% of the documents in all 184 categories were open access. While in communication, it was 3.29%, which ranked communication 116 out of 184. An Open Access Index (OAI) was developed to predict the trend of open access in communication. Based on the OAI, communication needs 77 years to fully reach open access, which undeniably can be considered as “crisis in scientific publishing” in this field. Given this stunning information, it is the time for a global call for “open access” by communication scholars across the world. Future research should investigate whether the current business models of publications in communication scholarships are encouraging open access or pose unnecessary restrictions on knowledge development.

Full textAbstract:
Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a web-based content management system specifically designed to handle the entire scientific publication management process. The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education has also developed its own index, namely the SINTA (Science and Technology Index) which is expected to not only refer to the Scopus journal index. The relationship between Access Indexing and OJS is inseparable where OJS is a facility in managing journal publications and Access Indexing is a feature for disseminating journal articles in journal searches. This study tries to build an Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) model that can be used as a form of publication and publishing management in international indexing. The application allows updating of data/content and sharing from various online journal sources. Access Open journal systems (AOJS) can allow end users, and still refer to international publishing management standards. Broadly speaking, this research is divided into three stages, namely pre-development data collection, development and implementation, and post-development data collection. From the results of the study, it has succeeded in developing an Access Open Journal System (AOJS) application by promoting simple features so that journal managers can manage journals well. We also removed the quick publish/submit module which we felt could worsen journal management properly. The OAI feature is also used for indexing so that metadata can be retrieved by multiple indexers. The Access Open Journal System (AOJS) that was built has a fairly easy configuration for its application and service modules, this configuration can make it easier for journal managers to create dynamic content and can be tailored to the needs of each manager.

Full textAbstract:
In September 2021, the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrated its 55th anniversary. In the article T.E. Gorchakova and O.I. Kazakov, the former heads of the eliminated in 2020–2021 divisions (the Center for Scientific Information and Records and the Department of Scientometrics and Information Technologies), recall the movement of the IFES RAS from an almost closed research Institute towards the implementation of the concept of Open Science in terms of publication activities of the organization's researchers and the introduction of scientometrics. The need for “openness” was caused by a change in state approaches to assessing the activities of research institutes that had been a part of the Russian Academy of Sciences previously. After the “reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences” in 2013, they became subordinate organizations initially to the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FASO) of Russia, and from May 15, 2018 onwards – to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. There appeared such fundamentally new (in comparison with the USSR period) approaches as assessment of the publication activity of scientists according to the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), as well as the need for the Russian scientists to index their publications in international scientific citation systems such as, for example, the Web of Science Core Collection. This approach required a serious revision of the IFES RAS policy of openness of its scientific activity, as well as the adoption of a number of organizational decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Metadata for electronic libraries is an integral part of the organization and access to digital resources. In this article, we explore common approaches to e-library integration, focusing on metadata analysis, protocols, and software. The types of metadata considered, such as descriptive, structural, administrative, preservation metadata, rights metadata, and technical metadata, reveal various aspects of digital resources. Various protocols and approaches to integration are considered, in particular the OAI-PMH protocol, which plays a key role in providing access and metadata exchange between repositories. An overview of software for integration using the OAI-PMH protocol is also provided, including a comparative table of characteristics of popular software solutions. This article helps to understand the importance of metadata and the effectiveness of its use to ensure access to digital resources in the modern scientific environment. The processes of extraction, transformation, loading, which can be used in the semantic integration of data through OAI-PMH, are described in detail. Software for the integration of electronic libraries and open access journals was also reviewed and key functions for creating an effective scientific environment were identified.

<span>This paper gives an account of the origin and development of the Open Access Initiative (OAI) and the digital technology that enables its existence. The researcher explains the crisis in scholarly communications and how open access (OA) can reform the present system. OA has evolved two systems for delivering research articles: OA archives or repositories and OA journals. They differ in that OA journals conduct peer review and OA archives do not. Discussion focuses on how these two delivery systems work, including such topics as OAI, local institutional repositories, Eprints self-archiving software, cross-archives searching, metadata harvesting, and the individuals who invented OA and organizations that support it.</span>

Over the course of 2019-20, it became apparent that ISC would require updated infrastructure to ensure proper digitisation, indexing and integration with contemporary publishing platforms and standards (such as OAI-PMH metadata). ISC previously lacked integration with metadata standards or indexing with major database systems, resulting in less exposure of papers or outputs online, or searchability within major bibliographic platforms and scholarly databases.

Open Access initiative in Bangladesh dates back to the opening of icddr, b Journal of Diarrhoeal Disease Research (JDDR) in 1997 by International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. Since then considerable development of Open Access has occurred. The study also provided some recommendations for improvement of IR and open movement in Bangladesh. The paper analyzes current open access publishing trends in Bangladesh in the light of open access journals and repositories in Bangladesh. The data for the study were collected from BanglaJOL and OpenDOAR (Directory of Open Access Repositories) in August 2017.Thefindings of the study indicate that the trends towards the development of open access repositories are increasing among higher education and research institutions in Bangladesh. Through BanglaJOL nearly 97% of journals in Bangladesh are published open access. There are total 11 IR found in OpenDOAR and ROAR in Bangladesh. It is found in this study that among 11 repositories 8 repositories have specified policy rules with regards to metadata, data, content, submission, and preservation. But the scenario is different in terms of OAI-PMH compliance. Presently only 3 repositories are following the OAI-PMH protocols in Bangladesh. Moreover, this trend should be increased to a larger proportion and all toll-access publishing would be turned open in Bangladesh through mass consciousness and initiatives at broader level. This study recommends that present trend should be increased to a larger proportion and all toll-access publishing would be turned open in Bangladesh through mass consciousness and initiatives at broader level.

Full textAbstract:
The RNPLS&T’s Single Open Information Archive (SOIA) under construction supports the functionality of open access repository. To provide interoperability, the metadata describing the SOIA objects are rendered to external information systems in various formats using OAI-PMH and SRU/SRW [1, 2] technologies.The open access repositories support Dublin Core metadata. Besides, MARCXML, ORE, RDF metadata are also among the supported schemes for some program implementations, however, their presence is quite limited. The OAI-PMH proprietary software used in SOIA enables to expand the completeness of metadata, in particular, for integration with promising technologies, e. g. semantic networks and linked data.The authors analyze the match between SOIA subject headings and concepts of GEMET thesaurus built within SKOS model and RDF. Terms interpretation within the thesaurus is one of SKOS functions. Despite the relatively quantitatively low intersection of SOIA headings and GEMET concepts, the identified matchings enrich SOIA information model. The authors suggest the extended model for RDF presentation of SOIA objects.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the file formats of the digital objects stored in two of the largest open-access repositories in Spain, DDUB and TDX, and determines the implications of these formats for long-term preservation, focussing in particular on the different versions of PDF. Design/methodology/approach – To be able to study the two repositories, the authors harvested all the files corresponding to every digital object and some of their associated metadata using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) and Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) protocols. The file formats were analyzed with DROID software and some additional tools. Findings – The results show that there is no alignment between the preservation policies declared by institutions, the technical tools available, and the actual stored files. Originality/value – The results show that file controls currently applied to institutional repositories do not suffice to grant their stated mission of long-term preservation of scientific literature.

Purpose – Open Access Theses and Dissertations (OATD) distinguishes itself from other ETD databases by providing immediate access to theses that are freely available online. The Republic of Armenia is a small geographical area in Central Asia with a population of only three million, yet an estimated total of five to seven million people of Armenian ancestry live outside of Armenia. What knowledge of Armenian cultural heritage can be discovered by searching OATD for open access theses that relate to Armenian history and culture?. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The OATD database was searched for the terms Armenia or Armenian. Discovered thesis records were exported into citation management tools and analysed for subject content, year of publication, institutional repository source, and a determination of whether Armenia was a primary or secondary topic. Access to theses was also tested to verify their open access. The remaining thesis records (n=152) were exported into an Excel spread sheet for numerical analysis and graphic production. Findings – From the records getting enhanced metadata (n=152), slightly more (52 per cent) were master's theses. Nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) used the Republic and culture of Armenia as a primary theme. English was the predominant author language (85 per cent) with Portuguese and French represented less than 5 per cent. World history and social sciences research were the most represented subjects. Most open access theses on Armenia or Armenian culture date from after 2000. All enhanced records, along with their abstracts and direct links, are available in a searchable RefWorks shared folder. Originality/value – The OATD database was evaluated for scholarly representation of a particular country and culture.

Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet die Entwicklung und den Status Quo von Repositorien in Österreich. Diese haben mit dem Hochschulraumstrukturmittelprojekt e-Infrastructures Austria einen wichtigen Impuls bekommen. Während in den Jahren nach der „Berliner Erklärung über den offenen Zugang zu wissenschaftlichem Wissen“ (2003) vor allem die Bereiche Publikationen und Green Open Access bearbeitet wurden, rückten in jüngster Zeit insbesondere durch die European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) auch Forschungsdaten zunehmend in den Fokus des Interesses. Dieser Aufschwung spiegelt sich auch in der laufenden Steigerung der im Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) und im Registry of Research Data Repositories (re3data.org) erfassten österreichischen Repositorien wider. Mittels statistischer Auswertungen wurde erhoben, welche Dokumententypen in diesen Repositorien aufgenommen werden, welche Fachgebiete sie repräsentieren, welchen Umfang sie aufweisen, welche Software eingesetzt wird, ob bereits notwendige Schnittstellen (wie z.B. OAI) vorhanden sind und welche Policies für die jeweiligen Repositorien verfolgt werden.

The issue of reflecting the scientific achievements of individual scientists and the results of research activities of research teams in the information environment is of great importance for many branches of science and practice, including medicine, where open data can improve the provision of medical care and influence healthcare policy. The effectiveness of search queries and the further effective use of the data obtained in research and practice, especially during epidemics and the treatment of serious diseases, largely depend on accessibility of medical information. Scientific repositories allow the management of all kinds of research results, integration with information systems, and compliance with the FAIR principles. The aim of the study is to identify and analyze development, indexing (in catalogs), visibility by search engines, type-specific characteristics, etc., of open access medical repositories in Russia and abroad. As a result, of the study, the following conclusions are made: 1) the number of repositories in the world is growing, including an increase in their number in the subject area “Medicine and Health”; 2) the infrastructure of Russian open access information platforms is being formed. However, open medical repositories are being developed poorly, most part of which is not represented in global catalogs (OpenDOAR) and is incompatible with the OAI-PMN standard, which allows the collection of data from repositories by various search engines. Thus, the research results are invisible in Internet search results, and Russian medical repositories are not present in the rankings of world repositories.

Introduction: Scientific communication in its new model of performance, openly enabling access to information, has contributed that society can resort to scientific production in an easier way, which has occurred due to its availability in open access journals and institutional repositories. In a scientific context, the retrieval of information provides access to intellectual production from the possibility of its search in retrieval systems. Objective: To analyze the information retrieval systems (IRS) based on the search tools of the Brazilian institutional repositories of theses and dissertations available in the BDTD and its databases, comparing them with the parameters established by IBICT. Methodology: Conducts bibliographic research on the theme and documentary research from access to the standards, guidelines, and manuals provided by IBICT.Results: It confirms that the institutions participating in the BDTD do not necessarily need to stick to the standards in a partial way established by IBICT, being necessary only that they assign to their repositories the mandatory metadata standards, along with the use of the OAI-PMH protocol and the use of XML technology so that the collection of data occurs for availability in the national BDTD portal. Conclusion: The information retrieval systems of the repositories have technological tools and specifications that confer navigation in the systems by the users, contributing to the best search experience and access to information relevant to their informational issues.

Full textAbstract:
In Flanders, Belgium, many heritage institutions disseminate their metadata using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. However this protocol does not offer granular access to the metadata. This can be solved by exposing the metadata as Linked Data. For this, we developed a semantic metadata schema consisting of two layers: One layer gives a Dublin Core description and is responsible for searching the whole dataset. The other layer holds a reference to the original metadata record, e.g., MARC record. Doing this, the user can still access the original record, once he found the data of interest using the Dublin Core description. Then, these metadata records are enriched in two stages: First, we enrich the records internally, interlinking all the harvested metadata from the Flemish heritage institutions. Then, we enrich the records with other datasets like DBpedia, weaving the information into the Web of Data. For publishing the records as linked open data, we enhanced the OAI2LOD Server to import data coming from different OAI-PMH repositories, to expose the records as linked open data using our developed metadata schema and to enrich the records using our metadata enrichment algorithm. This way, the data from Flemish heritage repositories are linked with each other and published as linked open data.

This paper describes a project led by the Instituto Brasileiro de Informações em Ciência e Tecnologia (Ibict), a government institution, to build a national digital library for electronic theses and dissertations - Bibliteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). The project has been a collaborative effort among Ibict, universities and other research centers in Brazil. The developers adopted a system architecture based on the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) in which universities and research centers act as data providers and Ibict as a service provider. A Brazilian metadata standard for electronic theses and dissertations was developed for the digital library. A toolkit including open source package was also developed by Ibict to be distributed to potential data providers. BDTD has been integrated with the international initiative: the Networked Digital Library of Thesis and Dissertation (NDLTD). Discussions in the paper address various issues related to project design, development and management as well as the role played by Ibict. Conclusions highlight some important lessons learned to date and challenges for the future in expanding the BDTD project.

In this paper we will discuss how to design and analysis a repository system in university, Duta Wacana Christian University (DWCU). The system is web-based, and implements Dublin Core (DC) metadata, using tagging systems, and implements Open Archive Initiatives-Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) data provider. The term Institutional Repository (IR) appears since 2003 and is now widely used in various institutions including universities. IR university is a place that contains digital work data, both scientific and non-scientific research from entire academic community of the university. IR univesitry contains many formats such as documents (text), audio (sound), and video. Development of the system has been conducted by the author and team and produce a repository that has appropriate permissions to the stored data, it is applying the standard DC metadata and tagging on each of its file, it has preview feature, and able to perform searching based on tag and DC metadata that previously stored in it. The results concluded that implementation of DC metadata that store permanently in each file, causes each file has a unique metadata signature, so that each file downloaded from the system is actually (originally) comes from UKDW institutional repository. The use of tagging on each file allows categorization and retrieval based on tags, and OAIPMH protocol implementation allows IR data provider collaborate and integrate with other OAI-PMH systems, such as Portal Garuda that owned by Indonesian Higher Education (DIKTI).
 Index Terms - Institutional Repository (IR), metadata, Dublin Core (DC, tagging, OAI-PMH data provider.

Full textAbstract:
Access to scientific and scholarly information has become more accessible than ever before, in large part due to the proliferation of scholarly journals that use metadata systems to expose their content. Notable examples of these systems include the Open Journal Systems (OJS) and the Objects of Learning Metadata Protocol (OAI-PMH), which have significantly simplified the dissemination of research online. However, as these platforms have become essential for research publication and dissemination, new needs arise for publishers and scholars. A technological innovation-type study was conducted by generating codes for primary data generation with the ultimate goal of generating graphs for co-authorship networks and co-occurrence of terms. This paper focuses on a solution to this growing demand for enriched information. We will explore how generating graphs from scholarly journal metadata using the OAI-PMH system can address these specific needs. The generation of graphs from scholarly journal metadata using the OAI-PMH system and Python codes offers a powerful and versatile approach to the analysis of scholarly output. This study demonstrates the applicability of this methodology in the generation of keyword co-occurrence networks and co-authorship networks, providing a deeper and more contextual view of scientific publications. The relevance of this application extends to editors of academic journals as well as to scholars and researchers. For publishers, this tool facilitates the effective presentation of their journals, the evaluation of the quality and content of publications, the selection of categories for indexing, and the identification of emerging trends. On the other hand, for academics, this methodology fosters collaboration, enables more advanced bibliometric analyses, facilitates the presentation of results, and supports informed decision-making in their research areas.

Purpose This study aims to assess open access (OA) repositories in the field of the health and medicine (H&M) available in the Directory of the Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) by analysing their various facets like geographical distribution, language diversity, collection size, content types, operational status, interoperability, updating policy and software used for content management. Design/methodology/approach To achieve the objectives of the study, the OpenDOAR was selected as a source for identifying the H&M repositories. The required data were manually collected from 1 to 30 April 2014 and analysed using various quantitative techniques to reveal the findings. Findings The results reveal that the OpenDOAR lists 254 repositories in the field of the H&M contributed by the 62 countries of the world, topped by the USA (15.4 per cent), followed by Japan (7.9 per cent) and the UK (7.5 per cent). The majority of the repositories are institutional (187, 73.6 per cent) in nature, having less than 5,000 items (161, 63.4 per cent) in the collection and mostly consisting of articles (76.0 per cent), theses (49.6 per cent), unpublished documents (33.1 per cent) and books (31.9 per cent). The linguistic assessment shows that the majority of the H&M repositories accept content written in English language (71.3 per cent), followed by Spanish (16.1 per cent) and Japanese (7.5 per cent). The updating policy of these repositories is not up to the mark, as only 67.0 per cent of the H&M repositories have been updated from 2008-2012, but the majority are still operational (91.7 per cent) and are compatible (67.3 per cent) with the Open Archive Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). About 30 software brands, both commercial and open source, have been used by administrators for creating these repositories and managing their content. DSpace is the most popular software used by 88 (34.7 per cent) repositories, followed by EPrints (43, 16.9 per cent) and Digital Commons (18, 7.1 per cent). Research limitations/implications The scope of this study is limited to the health and medical repositories listed in OpenDOAR, and hence the generalisation is to be cautioned. Practical implications This study is useful for library and information professionals and health and medical professionals across the globe. Originality/value This study is the first attempt to analyse the health and medical repositories in OA sites.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents an experimental security assessment within two widely used open-source 5G projects, namely Open5GS and OAI (Open-Air Interface). The examination concentrates on two network functions (NFs) that are externally exposed within the core network architecture, i.e., the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and the Network Repository Function/Network Exposure Function (NRF/NEF) of the Service-Based Architecture (SBA). Focusing on the Service-Based Interface (SBI) of these exposed NFs, the analysis not only identifies potential security gaps but also underscores the crucial role of Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) in implementing robust security measures. Furthermore, given the shift towards Network Function Virtualization (NFV), this paper emphasizes the importance of secure development practices to enhance the integrity of 5G network functions. In essence, this paper underscores the significance of scrutinizing security vulnerabilities in open-source 5G projects, particularly within the core network’s SBI and externally exposed NFs. The research outcomes provide valuable insights for MNOs, enabling them to establish effective security measures and promote secure development practices to safeguard the integrity of 5G network functions. Additionally, the empirical investigation aids in identifying potential vulnerabilities in open-source 5G projects, paving the way for future enhancements and standard releases.

Full textAbstract:
Owing to the prevailing ‘unfair’ digital divide, libraries worldwide are unable to build and manage institutional repositories for preserving and sharing the research output of academia. This paper evaluates and demonstrates how libraries can practically harness the completely free SaaS service model based on public cloud deployment model infrastructure to fill this divide and achieve the larger goal of open science. The paper highlights the process and steps of using Zenodo, a FREE and OPEN platform, powered by Invenio (Free Open-Source Software) RDM infrastructure, to establish a trusted repository with the provision of self-archiving. To test the KPIs and functionalities, a live online community ‘dlispu’ was built on the Zenodo platform and the archiving process was executed. The findings of the study reveal that libraries can easily adopt Green Open Access, thus strengthening the scholarly communication cycle without any upfront and subsequent cost. This immediately outweighs the limitations of the digital divide. The positive outcomes of the study pave the way for the libraries with resource insufficiencies in making research more findable, shareable, and reproducible, with confidence. The findings of the study also reveal that the Zenodo repository is a OAI- PMH-compliant repository supporting metadata harvesting and interoperability.

Full textAbstract:
With this inaugural editorial, we introduce Vegetation Classification and Survey (VCS), the new gold open access (OA) journal of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS). VCS is devoted to vegetation classification at any spatial and organisational scale and irrespective of the methodological approach. It welcomes equally case studies and broad-scale syntheses as well as conceptual and methodological papers. Two Permanent Collections deal with ecoinformatics (including the standardised Database Reports published in collaboration with GIVD, the Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases) and phytosociological nomenclature (edited in collaboration with the respective IAVS Working Group). We discuss the advantages of OA as well as challenges and drawbacks caused by the way it is currently implemented, namely “pay for flaws” and publication impediments for scientists without access to funding. Being a society-owned journal, editorial decisions in VCS are free from economic considerations, while at the same time IAVS offers significant reductions to article processing charges (APCs) for authors with financial constraints. However, it is recognised that sustainable OA publishing will require that payment systems are changed from author-paid APCs to contracts between the science funding agencies and publishers or learned societies, to cover the production costs of journals that meet both quality and impact criteria. Abbreviations: APC = article processing charge, GIVD = Global Index of Vegetation-Plot Databases, IAVS = International Association for Vegetation Science, JVS = Journal of Vegetation Science, OA = open access, VCS = Vegetation Classification and Survey.

Full textAbstract:
Open Science best practices and policies have been increasingly promoted and adopted in Europe and worldwide to extend public availability of research data and publications, according to FAIR principles. In this context, the so-called ‘Diamond Open Access’ model is particularly relevant since it entails provision of scientific content entirely free of charge, both for authors and readers. The journal Archeologia e Calcolatori adopted this model at a very early stage, when - in 2005 - it started publishing online full-text PDFs and metadata of its articles according to recognised standards, as an Open Archives Initiative data provider. This paper addresses the evolution of ‘Archeologia e Calcolatori’ in the context of scientific publishing in the disciplinary domain of IT applications to archaeology. It focuses on the updates of its OAI-PMH repository, which led to the journal’s inclusion in OpenAIRE as a data provider, and on mapping its current position in the OA Diamond landscape. The paper also illustrates recent implementations of Archeologia e Calcolatori’s website to provide full access to visual and interactive resources, such as images and 3D models, related to its publications, and to relevant metadata, structured according to OpenAIRE’s most recent guidelines. The combined, contextual provision of full texts, visual and interactive resources, and structured metadata – including full annotations and relations turns out to be a pioneering publishingservice in the domain of IT applications to archaeology.

In the circumstances of transforming institution of intellectual property, the journals have to find balance between the open science initiatives and legal regulations. The purpose of the study is to define whether Russian academic journals conform to open science initiatives and, in particular, to the open access principles and open licensing terms. The author discusses the findings of the study encompassing 450 journals in the Russian Science Citation Index database (as of December 1, 2022) using the following criteria: journal allocation site, archive depth, access principle, license terms and the website section on licensing terms. Based on the obtained data systematization and analysis, the trends for Russian academic journals are formulated: in general, they are ready for introducing open access principles. By choosing open licensing, most of the Russian academic journals are ready to offer maximum freedom in using their publications. The author developed several recommendations for the journals as the sites of scientific data exchange, and for the researchers as the users, generators and disseminators of these data.

Full textAbstract:
Open access repository is a database, or a virtual archive established to collect, disseminate and preserve scientific output like scientific articles and datasets and to make them freely available. An institutional repository is one of four types of repositories. The purposes of this article are (1) to highlight the most important points of the Regulation on the Institutional Repository of the Kyiv Medical University (IRKMU) and (2) to explain the advantages for authors and peer-reviewed journals of colonization of the repository of such type. Also, this paper highlights the experience of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (JDTOMP) in depositing peer-reviewed articles in this repository. The Regulation on the IRKMU was put into effect by Order No. 29 of January 26, 2024. In the same year, all structural units of the university, including dental departments, joined the process of depositing their scientific and clinical works. The IRKMU was created using the open-source software DSpace, which supports the Open Access Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) data exchange protocol, allowing the repository to be integrated into the international registers of the Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR), Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR), and other search engines. The article is reinforced with screenshots of the stages of depositing data of scientific works. Carlile Butterfield and colleagues (2022) emphasized, that despite all benefits, however, their research indicates that it can be difficult to encourage all faculties to upload the research reports onto the institutional repository. Moreover, the authors propose a potential route to maximize the number of publications that are uploaded to a university institutional repository. They utilize student workers and the resources of the institutional repository manager to get materials uploaded. The experience of our department consists in attracting a competent editor from the editorial staff of the JDTOMP with appropriate payment for services. In sum, colonizing this new institutional repository as a new database, authors and peer-reviewed journals can and will increase the visibility of their publications. Thus, it can bear fruit in terms of increasing the citation of articles and the journals as well.

Full textAbstract:
Open access (OA) to publications has been a global trend in publishing academic journals for a long time. The number of OA journals, including Russian ones, is growing steadily. The purpose of this study was to determine the main trends in the implementation of open access publishing models in Russian research journals. The article presents the results of a study of 396 journals included in the Russian Science Citation Index database: title of a journal; website address; international classification code (OECD group); quartile; Science Index indicator; open access model; license type; section of a journal’s website that contains information about the absence or presence and amount of an article processing charge (APC). It is concluded that the majority of journals implement Bronze OA which, firstly, does not comply with the key principles of open access, because it does not use open licenses, and, secondly, does not provide any guarantees that open access will continue to be open. The lack of accessible and transparent information about the conditions for further use of publications can create serious legal issues for the licensee. In turn, it will most likely be a problem for authors to calculate the amount of publication fee.

During the rice production process, the rice straw - one of the residual products becomes an environmental pollutant due to the open burning giving rise to greenhouse gases emission. That’s why the identification of gas emissions needs to estimate the amount of rice biomass. Remote sensing data has been exploited to determine the area of rice cultivation and to estimate the dry rice biomass in Quoc Oai district, Hanoi city. On the one hand, the Sentinel-2 image was used to classify the land cover categories, thereby identifying the spatial distribution of the rice to delimit the extent of rice biomass, which was obtained from regression analysis. On the other hand, the Sentinel-1 radar image was used to calculate the rice biomass during the summer season when Sentinel-2 images have constraints due to clouds, fog, and mist. The validation of image classification has provided an overall accuracy of 86.31% with a Kappa index of 0.81. Meanwhile, the regression analysis shows a high correlation between the backscattering values of VV and VH in the radar image and the dry rice biomass measured on the ground (R = 0.923 and R2 = 0.852), with a relatively low average error (RMSE = 6.58 kg\100 m2). By linear regression method, the study has found the total dry rice biomass of 28728.5 tons, which was revealed after the Summer-Autumn rice crop 2021 for the whole Quoc Oai district. The results from this study have proved the effectiveness of the method and they have contributed to supporting managers in proposing the appropriate policies to monitor and protect the environment in the future.

Design/methodology/approach Open directory of open access repositories (DOAR) as a data-gathering tool was consulted for extracting the desired data. Findings India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh lead other South Asian nations in terms of IRs count. Majority of the IRs are operational in nature with higher number of operational IRs from India. In terms of record count, India leads the list. “Journal articles” outscore other content type and majority of the IRs have OAI-PMH as their base URL. DSpace stays a prioritized software for content management in IRs. Majority of the IRs have not defined their content management policies. English stays a prioritized language of the content dotting the South Asian IRs and majority of the IRs not providing usage statistics. A good score of IRs has incorporated Web 2.0 tools in them with RSS as the preferred Web 2.0 tool. A good count of the IRs has not customized their interface. Majority of the IRs have interface in two languages. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the study is that the findings of the research are based on the data collected through the repositories indexed by Open DOAR. Originality/value The study tries to explore the characteristic features of IRs from the South Asian region.

Full textAbstract:
a b s t r a c t Open Journal Systems (OJS) is a web-based content management system specifically designed to handle the entire process of scientific publication management. The Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education also develops its own index, namely SINTA (Science and Technology Index) which is expected to not only refer to the journal index Scopus. The relationship between Access Indexing and OJS is inseparable where the OJS is a facility in managing journal publications and Access Indexing is a feature to disseminate journal articles to journal searches. This study tries to build an Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) model that can be used as a form of publication and publishing management on international indexing. The application allows updating of data/content and sharing from various online journal sources. Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) can enable end-user users, and still refer to international publishing management standards. It is expected that Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) can increase publication and management of publishing electronically and be fully implemented by authors, publishers, and partners of reviewers. The Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) application will take the Open Knowledge Systems (OJS) Public Knowledge Project (PKP) model, with the reason that the Open Journal Systems (OJS) is one of the most widely used OJS and is a recommendation from the Ministry of Research and Technology with PDII LIPI in obtaining National Journal Accreditation (ARJUNA) and facilitates researchers to see, adapt, and modify for the purposes of this study. Broadly speaking this research is divided into three stages, namely pre-development data collection, development and implementation, and post-development data collection. Specifically, the output to be achieved Prototype as technology engineering: This research will produce a prototype Open source Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) software, which can be used by journal publishing managers and to support content publication. The results of this study are an open source software called Open source Access Open Journal Systems (AOJS) and developed with framework CodeIgniter and React-Js. a b s t r a k Open Journal Systems (OJS) merupakan sebuah sistem manajemen konten berbasis web yang khusus dibuat untuk menangani keseluruhan proses manajemen publikasi ilmiah.

Hubungan Access Indexing dengan OJS menjadi hal yang tidak terpisahkan dimana OJS menjadi fasilitas dalam mengelola terbitan jurnal dan Acces Indexing menjadi fitur untuk menyebarluaskan artikel jurnal pada pencarian jurnal. Penelitian ini mencoba untuk membangun model Acces Open Journal Systems (AOJS) yang dapat digunakan sebagai bentuk manajemen publikasi dan penerbitan pada indexing internasional. Aplikasi tersebut memungkinkan pembaharuan data/konten dan sharing dari berbagai sumber jurnal online. Acces Open Journal Systems (AOJS) dapat memungkinkan pengguna end user, serta tetap mengacu pada standar manajemen pengelola terbitan internasional. Diharapkan dengan adanya Acces Open Journal Systems (AOJS) dapat meningkatkan publikasi dan manajemen penerbitan secara elektronik serta sepenuhnya dilaksanakan baik oleh penulis, penerbit maupun mitra bestari (reviewer). Aplikasi Acces Open Journal Systems (AOJS) akan mengambil model Open Journal Systems (OJS) Public Knowledge Project (PKP), dengan alasan Open Journal Systems (OJS) tersebut adalah salah satu OJS yang paling banyak digunakan dan merupakan rekomendasi dari Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi dengan PDII LIPI dalam mendapatkan Akreditasi Jurnal Nasional (ARJUNA) serta memudahkan peneliti untuk melihat, mengadaptasi, dan memodifikasi untuk keperluan penelitian ini.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, the formal scientific output in most fields of natural science has been limited to peer-reviewed academic journal publications, with less attention paid to the chain of intermediate data results and their associated metadata, including provenance. In effect, this has constrained the representation and verification of the data provenance to the confines of the related publications. Detailed knowledge of a dataset’s provenance is essential to establish the pedigree of the data for its effective re-use, and to avoid redundant re-enactment of the experiment or computation involved. It is increasingly important for open-access data to determine their authenticity and quality, especially considering the growing volumes of datasets appearing in the public domain. To address these issues, we present an approach that combines the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) – a widely adopted citation technique – with existing, widely adopted climate science data standards to formally publish detailed provenance of a climate research dataset as an associated scientific workflow. This is integrated with linked-data compliant data re-use standards (e.g. OAI-ORE) to enable a seamless link between a publication and the complete trail of lineage of the corresponding dataset, including the dataset itself.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Minimal access surgery as a less invasive alternative to standard macro- and microsurgical approaches is becoming increasingly popular in the management of traumatic and degenerative spine diseases. However, data is lacking if minimal access spine surgery is indeed beneficial. This prospective randomized study was conducted to compare efficiency, safety, and outcome of standard open microsurgical discectomy (SOMD) for lumbar disc herniation with microsurgical discectomy using an 11.5 mm trocar system for minimal access to the spine. METHODS Sixty patients were randomized to two groups of 30 patients each. Group 1 was treated by SOMD, and Group 2 was treated by minimal access microsurgical discectomy (MAMD). Perioperative parameters and pre- and postoperative clinical findings including sensory or motor deficits and pain according to the visual analog scale, Oswestry Disability Index scores, and Short Form-36 results were assessed. All patients were followed for at least 6 months postoperatively (mean, 16 mo). RESULTS Preoperatively, no statistically significant intergroup differences could be detected proving the comparability of both groups. Postoperatively, significant improvement of neurological symptoms and pain as measured by the visual analog scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and Short Form-36 scores could be achieved in both groups. In regard to operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and complication rate, slightly better results were observed in the MAMD group. CONCLUSION SOMD and MAMD allow achievement of significant improvement of pain and neurological deficits in patients with lumbar disc herniations. Differences in operative time, blood loss, and complication rates were statistically not significant in MAMD compared with SOMD, indicating that, at least in lumbar disc surgery, minimal access trocar techniques are a viable alternative to standard spinal approaches.

Indian researchers have published more than 43,400 papers in over 4,600 journals in 2009 as seen from Science Citation Index (SCI) Expanded. Of these, over 6,900 (or one in six) papers were published in 445 open access (OA) journals. The proportion of papers published by Indian researchers in OA journals is considerably higher than the world average, which is estimated to be 8.5-10.0%. Although India publishes well over a thousand journals, including about 360 OA jour- nals, SCI Expanded indexed in 2009 only 101 Indian S&T journals including 46 OA journals. It is likely that the percentage of Indian papers in OA journals as seen from SCI will be higher if more Indian journals are indexed in SCI Expanded.

The Ascension Nurse Author Index is an example of how resource-limited clinical libraries can provide value to their organization by creating a database of peer-reviewed journal article publications authored by their nursing associates. In 2024, Ascension launched a database index to highlight its nurse authors, bring attention to subject matter expertise, foster collaboration among authors, and recognize impact within the profession. The index uses an open access platform, software intended for reference management with a public-facing cloud option, to minimize expenses. This unconventional use of the platform allowed us to capitalize on the software's bibliographic database management capabilities while allowing us to input institutional-specific metadata. By creative use of the open-access platform, librarians can successfully partner to create value for their organization by highlighting the work of its nurses.

Abstract In this paper, we present COCI, the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations (http://opencitations.net/index/coci). COCI is the first open citation index created by OpenCitations, in which we have applied the concept of citations as first-class data entities, and it contains more than 445 million DOI-to-DOI citation links derived from the data available in Crossref. These citations are described using the resource description framework by means of the newly extended version of the OpenCitations Data Model (OCDM). We introduce the workflow we have developed for creating these data, and also show the additional services that facilitate the access to and querying of these data via different access points: a SPARQL endpoint, a REST API, bulk downloads, Web interfaces, and direct access to the citations via HTTP content negotiation. Finally, we present statistics regarding the use of COCI citation data, and we introduce several projects that have already started to use COCI data for different purposes.

Full textAbstract:
This research uses the h-index to rank the quality of library and information science journals between 2004 and 2008. Selected open access (OA) journals are included in the ranking to assess current OA development in support of scholarly communication. It is found that OA journals have gained momentum supporting high-quality research and publication, and some OA journals have been ranked as high as the best traditional print journals. The findings will help convince scholars to make more contributions to OA journal publications, and also encourage librarians and information professionals to make continuous efforts for library publishing.

The work reports implementation of the “COVID-19.rf: information against the pandemic” project.Since 2020, dozens of projects have been implemented to create collections of national COVID-19 publications and populate national COVID-repository platforms.The Russian project “COVID-19.rf: information against the pandemic” is among them. The following tasks were realized during the development of the COVID-19.rf repository: the program software to create and populate the project platform; automated data exchange with previously created Russian platforms; monitoring global citation indexes: Web of Science, Scopus, Dimensions and the Lens and automatic population of the created platform: possibility for access and downloading the project data via API under the OAI PMH protocol; project advancement and user training; indexing of the project content on the international integrator platforms: CORE, OpenAire: COVID-19 Open Research Gateway and Google Academy.As a result, algorithms and technical implementation of automatically replenishing of repositories within the legal framework of publishers’ license have been developed.By the beginning of 2022, metadata about 7380 Russian COVID publications were uploaded to the project platform, 3923 articles being in full text. These indicators put the Russian project on a par with the largest national projects such as of the Great Britain, Spain and Brazil.
