- ItemB!SON: A Tool for Open Access Journal Recommendation(Heidelberg : Springer, 2022) Entrup, Elias; Eppelin, Anita; Ewerth, Ralph; Hartwig, Josephine; Tullney, Marco; Wohlgemuth, Michael; Hoppe, Anett; Nugent, RonanFinding a suitable open access journal to publish scientific work is a complex task: Researchers have to navigate a constantly growing number of journals, institutional agreements with publishers, funders’ conditions and the risk of Predatory Publishers. To help with these challenges, we introduce a web-based journal recommendation system called B!SON. It is developed based on a systematic requirements analysis, built on open data, gives publisher-independent recommendations and works across domains. It suggests open access journals based on title, abstract and references provided by the user. The recommendation quality has been evaluated using a large test set of 10,000 articles. Development by two German scientific libraries ensures the longevity of the project.
- ItemB!SON - an open tool to help researchers find suitable Open Access journals for their work(Zenodo, 2023) Eppelin, AnitaThe poster presents key facts on B!SON, an open recommendation service for Open Access journals. There is a whole range of web-based services designed to help researchers find a suitable journal for their findings. Few of them, however, are inherently oriented towards the needs and interests of the research community: they are often provided by commercial actors, only include journals of one single (major) publisher, the procedures for the recommendations are not transparent, the source code is not publicly available, their sustainability is unclear or they are merely aggregated journal lists with advanced filter functions. B!SON has set out to do things differently: It is a tool developed and provided by two major German academic libraries - TIB (Technische Informationsbibliothek) and SLUB (Saxonian State and University Library Dresden). It includes only genuine Open Access journals, uses only community-based, open data sources from DOAJ and OpenCitations, discloses its recommendation algorithm based on semantic and bibliometric methods, handles user data sensitively and has been designed with sustainability in mind. B!SON's simple user interface with input fields for a manuscript's title, abstract and references provides users with a list of DOAJ-listed journals in which similar research has been published. A similarity score is provided for each journal listed, along with the underlying articles where similarity was found, to make the recommendation verifiable.
- ItemDer Publikationsfonds für Open-Access-Monografien Brandenburg - der erste seiner Art auf Bundeslandebene(Zenodo, 2022) Eppelin, Anita; Zeltner, Anja; Falkenburg, PhilippSeit Herbst 2021 steht Angehörigen der acht Hochschulen des Landes Brandenburg ein landesweiter Publikationsfonds für Open-Access-Monografien zur Verfügung. Dieser wird vom Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kultur Brandenburg (MWFK) bereitgestellt, von der Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg (VuK) koordiniert und gemeinsam mit der AG Publikationsfonds für Open-Access-Monografien Brandenburg weiterentwickelt. Im Poster werden Förderziele und -kriterien sowie der Workflow zwischen Autor:innen, VuK, Bibliotheken und Verlagen dargestellt. Zusätzlich gibt das Poster einen zahlenmäßigen Überblick zur bisherigen Nutzung des Fonds und stellt Herausforderungen und Erfahrungen aus einem Jahr Publikationsfonds-Betrieb dar (Stand Juni 2022).
