COAR publishes recommendations for next generation repositories

Browse Technologies 
 
In November 2017, the COAR Next Generation Repositories Working Group published 
a report outlining new behaviours and technologies for repositories.
The aim is to position repositories as the foundation for a distributed, 
globally networked infrastructure for scholarly communication, on top of which 
layers of value added services will be deployed, thereby transforming the 
system, making it more research-centric, open to and supportive of innovation, 
while also collectively managed by the scholarly community.
The behaviours and technologies are now available on a dedicated website 
 and through GitHub 
. We welcome community feedback 
about existing recommendations and suggestions for other technologies not yet 
identified.

Re: [GOAL] MDPI annual report 2017 has been released

[Dr. Franck Vazquez | CEO | MDPI]

Thanks Richard,

You are right that there is no financial information in this report. We 
want this report to focus on the progress relevant to scholarly 
communities. The financial information is a different aspect that I 
prefer to address separately.

We are preparing a simple finance oriented report (but not as detailed 
as PLoS has been doing) for the 2015-2017 period where we will highlight 
the evolution of our APC range and distribution, of number of fully 
waived journals and articles, of the discounts and waivers, of the 
subsidized not-for profit projects, and of the sponsoring of academic 
events and awards.
This will take a few more weeks to finalize.

Best wishes,
Franck

Re: [GOAL] MDPI annual report 2017 has been released

[Richard Poynder]

Dear Franck,

Thank you for posting this. Am I right in thinking that the report does not
include any financial information about MDPI?

If that is right, do you not think it should, or that MDPI ought to publish
a financial overview in the way that PLOS does?

Best wishes,


Richard Poynder

[GOAL] Interview with Ashley Farley of the Gates foundation

[Richard Poynder]

The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation is a private foundation launched in 2000 by 
Bill and Melinda Gates. According to Wikipedia, it is the largest private 
foundation in the US, and currently holds $40.3 billion in assets.

In 2014, the foundation announced the most radical OA policy to date. The 
policy is striking both in its requirement that all research funded by the 
Gates foundation must be made freely available immediately on publication, and 
in its insistence that all funded papers must be published with a CC BY licence 
attached.

In February 2017, the Gates foundation signed a year-long deal with the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world's largest 
general scientific society, to allow Gates-funded researchers to publish their 
papers open access in the highly-prestigious journal Science (along with four 
sister AAAS journals) without having to pay an article-processing charge.

A month later, the Gates foundation announced that it was partnering with 
F1000Research to allow funded researchers to publish their papers on its own 
online publication platform Gates Open Research.

An interview with Ashley Farley, Gates foundation Associate Officer of 
Knowledge & Research Services, can be read here:
