Uptake over different fields
Open Access to science results is becoming mandatory
Open access mandates: funding agencies and insGtuGons require Open Access
Source: http://roarmap.eprints.org/
• Defini&ons – Free Access: authors, universiGes, socieGes are not paying for public access (SciELO). • Includes temporary public access of subscripGon materials for promoGon reasons
– Open Access: authors, universiGes, socieGes pay for public access. • Green Open Access: author versions in public repositories (for example arXiv).
• Gold Open Access: final versions are publicly accessible on publishers Web site.
• Springer (allow Green a_er 12 months)
– ArGcles in subscripGon journals = Open Choice (Gold) • When arGcle is accepted, the author can decide to pay an APC or not.
– ArGcles in fully open access journals = SpringerOpen or BioMed Central (Life Sciences)
• All arGcles paid with APC
Open Access opGons with Springer
• Peer-‐reviewed journal, Open Access, Online Only • InternaGonal editorial board • High quality: acceptance rate 60%
• For all Disciplines in STEM and HSS Never out of scope!
• No focus on impact factor

Science in Brazil
In Brazil, the numbers go up fast
• Fast growing scientific production (graphs on next slide)
• Close to 200 universities
• # of students > Germany & UK combined (about 4 million)
• Strong government policy and investments to grow the country’s scientific impact
• 55% of the research output of Latin-America comes from Brazil
• The 6th economy in the world with:
GDP in 2013 = 2.5 trillion USD
~1.3 % of this is spent on
Science & Technology (= ~31 billion USD).
– R&D spending budget grows with 1.5 billion USD per year
Increase in R&D expenditures leads to more researchers and ar&cles

• Brazil top 5 fields of the 53 000 citable articles published in 2012
– 25% = Medicine, Tropical Medicine, & Public Health
– 20% = Agricultural & Biological Sciences
– 10% = Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology
– 6% = Physics and Astronomy
– 6% = Chemistry
SciELO
• ScienGfic Electronic Library Online, has more than 850 free access journals from all of LaGn America, Spain, Portugal and South Africa (233 from Brazil)
• About 50 journals in English language, most others are hybrid (PT, ES, EN) and gradually switching to English only.
• With Open Access we can have arGcles on SpringerLink and SciELO,
– Means more internaGonal visibility
• Journals published by Springer receive extra journal development
– Springer editors prepare improvement plans with the goal the get or increase an Impact Factor
– Journal owners (e.g. SocieGes) receive an annual journal report showing the status – Journals are globally marketed, e.g. at conferences and with email campaigns

Factors for Success
– InternaGonal Diversity: authors, editors, editorial advisory board members.
– PosiGoning: does the journal offer a unique perspecGve or focus. – Local strengths: which experGse is local, but triggers a global interest? – If a regional journal, how does it compare with other journals from the same area? Will it enrich coverage in a subject or provide a regional perspecGve?
– Peer review system and internaGonal editorial convenGons
– Proper English language, suggesGng services such as Edanz is providing – CitaGon Data Analysis – Timeliness of publicaGon
– Market Share and Growth
– Financial sustainability
Focus areas to develop journals
Library Advisory Board Ac&vi&es in Brazil
Discuss and share our strategies and future acGviGes with the directors of main Brazilian university, academic, and scienGfic insGtuGonal libraries by increasing the dialog among our insGtuGons to become, more and more, partners.
• vision of editorial acGviGes in Brazil with the new office • increase the knowledge of the existence (and possible partnerships) of scienGfic journals owned by universiGes • support the university efforts on training authors on how to write scienGfic arGcles and manuscripts
• 1) Author fills out book proposal form
– Topic and Title
– Level: research, graduate or undergraduate
– Uniqueness: new results, better explanation, competing books outdated
• 2) Springer subject expert evaluates proposal, may ask changes
• 3) Review by fellow scientists
• 4) Discussing publishing agreement: date of delivery, financial rewards
• 5) Manuscript delivery
• 6) Book production
• 7) Announced to the market, promotion
• 8) Publication
• 9) Distribution and Sales
• 10) New edition

All ScienGsts are Authors

The PracGcal Reason
Why do we publish?
Where do we Publish?
Measuring Quality Impact Factor Calcula&on
2011 Impact Factor:
Cites in 2011 to items published in 2010 + 2009
Total 2010 + 2009 ArGcles
Where do we Publish?
ISI Impact Factors calculated from the monitoring of ~8000 journals SCOPUS Impact Factors calculated from the monitoring of ~16000 journals
Where do we Publish?
Impact Factors Measure:
– the Popularity of a Science/topic – the amount scienGsts in those disciplines write
Example:
Biomedical journals usually have much higher Impact Factors than Engineering journals
The science in both is good but the nature of the science dictates a different rate of publica&on
