OPEN PEER REVIEW (2)
Open peer review is an alternative to the
traditional scientific peer review process, in which
reviewers' names are concealed from the public and
from the authors of the work under review.
The traditional anonymous peer review has
been criticized for its lack of accountability,
possibility of abuse by reviewers, its possible bias
and inconsistency, alongside other flaws.
Both processes are intended to subject the
scholarly publications to the scrutiny of others who
are experts in the same field. In response to these
criticisms, other systems of peer review with
various degrees of "openness" have been suggested.

OPEN PEER REVIEW (3)
An extension of peer review beyond the date of
publication is Open Peer Commentary, whereby
expert commentaries are solicited on published
articles, and the authors are encouraged to respond.

PLOS ONE (1)
http://www.plosone.org/static/information.action
PLoS ONE (eISSN-1932-6203) is an international, peer-
reviewed, open-access, online publication. PLoS ONE welcomes
reports on primary research from any scientific discipline. It
provides:
•Open-access—freely accessible online, authors retain
copyright
•Fast publication times
•Peer review by expert, practicing researchers
•Post-publication tools to indicate quality and impact
•Community-based dialogue on articles
•Worldwide media coverage
PLoS ONE is published by the Public Library of Science
(PLoS), a nonprofit organization.

PLOS ONE (2)
http://www.plosone.org/static/information.action
PLoS ONE features reports of original research from all
disciplines within science and medicine. By not excluding
papers on the basis of subject area, PLoS ONE facilitates the
discovery of the connections between papers whether within
or between disciplines.
Too often a journal's decision to publish a paper is
dominated by what the Editor’s think is interesting and will
gain greater readership — both of which are subjective
judgments and lead to decisions which are frustrating and
delay the publication of your work.
PLoS ONE will rigorously peer-review your submissions
and publish all papers that are judged to be technically sound.
Judgments about the importance of any particular paper are
then made after publication by the readership … .

TIER-BASED PEER REVIEW (1)
http://people.ccmr.cornell.edu/~ginsparg/blurb/pg02pr.html
Can Peer Review Be Better Focused?
Paul Ginsparg / Cornell University
Abstract:
If we were to start from scratch today to design a
quality-controlled archive and distribution system for
scientific and technical information, it could take a
very different form from what has evolved in the past
decade from pre-existing print infrastructure. Recent
technological advances could provide not only more
efficient means of accessing and navigating the
information, but also more cost-effective means of
authentication and quality control.

Two Separate Domains
Standard Tier
Any and all submissions would be accepted after
a cursory examination of or other pro forma
certification.
The review process could be “minimally labor-
intensive, perhaps relying primarily on an automated
check of author institutional affiliation, prior
publication record, research grant status, or other
related background; and involve human labor
primarily to adjudicate incomplete or ambiguous
results of an automated pass.”

Two Separate Domains
Upper Tier
“At some later point (which could vary from
article to article, perhaps with no time limit), a much
smaller set of articles would be selected for the full
peer review process.
The initial selection criteria for this smaller set
could be any of a variety of impact measures, to be
determined, and based explicitly on their prior
widespread and systematic availability and citability:
e.g., reader nomination or rating, citation impact,
usage statistics, editorial selection, ... .”

SEMANTIC (1)
 Semantic Publishing can be defined as “anything that
enhances the meaning of a published journal article,
facilitates its automated discovery, enables its linking
to semantically related articles, provides access to
data within the article in actionable form, or
facilitates integration of data between papers.
 Among other things, it involves enriching the article
with appropriate metadata that are amenable to
automated processing and analysis, allowing
enhanced verifiability of published information and
providing the capacity for automated discovery and
summarization.
http://tinyurl.com/c9zybh

SEMANTIC (2)
 These semantic enhancements increase the intrinsic
value of journal articles, by increasing the ease by
which information, understanding and knowledge can
be extracted.
 They also enable the development of secondary
services that can integrate information between such
enhanced articles, providing additional business
opportunities for the publishers involved.
 Equally importantly, readers benefit from more rapid,
more convenient and more complete access to reliable
information.”

ECLECTIC
E Is For Everything:
The Extra-Ordinary, Evolutionary [E-]Journal
 An ever-increasing number of e-journals are
transcending the limitations of the paper medium by
incorporating and integrating a wide variety of
innovative electronic features and content.
 In this article, we examine the current evolution of the
scholarly journal and review the emergence of
functionalities that expand and extend the conventional
electronic journal.
 We further explore additional e-journal enhancements
and consider new forms and formats of scholarly
communication likely to arise in the not-so-distant
future.

A social network service focuses on building
online communities of people who share interests
and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring
the interests and activities of others.
Most social network services are primarily
Web-based and provide a collection of various ways
for users to interact, such as chat, messaging,
email, video, voice chat, file sharing, blogging,
discussion groups, … [etc.].

The main types of social networking services
are those which contain category divisions (such as
former school-year or classmates), means to connect
with friends (usually with self-description pages)
and a recommendation system linked to trust.
Popular methods now combine many of these,
with Facebook widely used worldwide; MySpace,
Twitter and LinkedIn being the most widely used in
North America;Nexopia (mostly in Canada);

Social Science Research Network
Lalisio
SciSpace.net

Scispace.net is a non-commercial, non-profit and free-to-use
social network service designed specifically for collaborating
researchers. In several respects it builds on many of the tools
found in standard social network service and elearning
sites, such as the use of wikis, blogs, comments, tags, comment
walls, and profiles.
However, unlike many of these sites, privacy and fine
grained access control is of paramount importance. For
example, a small group of researchers using these tools. To
develop a set of ideas that will ultimately lead to a publication
or funding proposal need to be certain that their ideas, and the
existence of these ideas, will not be seen by others.
SCISPACE.NET (1)
http://www.scispace.net/

Until the advent of social network service and related Web
2.0 technologies, the primary tool for collaborators has been
email, which the owners/authors feel serves this purpose only
poorly.
Scispace.net has been developed by scientists working
within an academic environment, but the owners/authors
believe that this approach should be able to meet the
needs of collaborators working in different disciplines
and different environments.
In many ways scispace.net is an active experiment in
how these tools can be used to support collaborative
research, in what is actually a fast changing environment.
SCISPACE.NET (2)

The Social Science Research Network (SSRN) is a website
devoted to the rapid dissemination of scholarly research in the
social sciences and humanities. SSRN is viewed as particularly
strong in the fields of economics, finance, accounting,
management, and law.

SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH
NETWORK (1)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Science_Research_Network

Since its foundation in 1994, SSRN has grown in importance
in the academic community. In economics, and to some degree
in Law … almost all papers are now first published as preprints
on SSRN and/or on other paper distribution networks such as
RePEc before being submitted to an academic journal.
Academic papers can be uploaded directly to the site by authors
as PDF documents. All author-uploaded papers are available for
worldwide free downloading.
Users can also subscribe to abstracting e-mail journals covering
a broad range of subject matters. These eJournals then periodically
distribute emails containing abstracts (with links to the full text
where applicable) of papers recently submitted to SSRN in the
respective field.
NETWORK (2)

On SSRN, authors and papers are ranked by their number of
downloads, which has become an informal indicator of
popularity on prepress and open access sites.
SSRN, like other preprint services, circulates publications
throughout the scholarly community at an early stage,
permitting the author to incorporate comments into the final
version of the paper before its publication in a journal.
NETWORK (3)

The SSRN eLibrary consists of two parts: an Abstract Database
containing abstracts on over 233,600 scholarly working papers and
forthcoming papers and an Electronic Paper Collection currently
containing over 191,600 downloadable full text documents in Adobe
Acrobat pdf format.The eLibrary also includes the research papers
of a number of Fee Based Partner Publications.
The Networks encourage readers to communicate directly with
authors and other subscribers concerning their own and others‘
research. To facilitate this we publish detailed author contact
information including email addresses for authors of each paper. We
also provide electronic delivery of the papers when authors wish us
to do sofrom the SSRN eLibrary.

Wikis

A wiki is a website that uses wiki software,
allowing the easy creation and editing of any
number of interlinked Web pages using a simplified
markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor, within
the browser.
Wikis are often used to create collaborative
websites and to power community websites. The
collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the
best-known wikis.
Wikis are used in business to provide intranet
and knowledge management systems.
Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first
wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it
as "the simplest online database that could possibly
work.
"Wiki" … is a Hawaiian word for "fast".
