This paper describes and discusses the phenomenon 'predatory publishing', in relation to both academic journals and books, and suggests a list of characteristics by which to identify predatory journals. It also raises the question whether traditional publishing houses have accompanied rogue publishers upon this path. It is noted that bioethics as a discipline does not stand unaffected by this t...

Open access has been the pivotal change in relations between libraries and academic publishers in the last decade. Not only has it introduced a potentially disruptive business model threatening the publishing ecosystem, but it has also put the individual researcher back into the fray. The long-term impact of the emerging pattern of different forms of publishing has been largely overlooked so fa...

Despite many efforts for making data about scholarly publications available on the Web of Data, lots of information about academic conferences is still contained in (at best) free-text format. When available in a structured format, these data would provide an essential input for the decisions researchers, libraries, publishers, funding and evaluation bodies take every day. In this paper we pres...

Extensive research has tracked how electronic publishing is influencing the informationseeking and reading behaviour of scholars. Tenopir et al. (2009) showed that scholars’ use of electronic information has increased substantially over time as academic libraries transit from print to electronic collections. The adoption of electronic information in academic settings has been extremely successf...

With the increase of digital information practices (e.g. online search, desktop publishing, electronic reference management, etc.) in the academic context, printed books are sometimes cumbersome to integrate into the digital workflow. We present ResearchSherlock, an Android app that allows the user to quickly gather bibliographic information for a printed book by scanning its shelfmark or ISBN....

Machine learning models are increasingly made available to the masses through public query interfaces. Recent academic work has demonstrated that malicious users who can query such models are able to infer sensitive information about records within the training data. Differential privacy can thwart such attacks, but not all models can be readily trained to achieve this guarantee or to achieve i...

The move to an open access model in contemporary health research raises questions about the role of the scientific journal and its engagement with civil society in shaping the research agenda, as well as highlighting tensions between the public interest in science and doing science that is in the public interest. If openness is seen as fundamental to the advancement of scientific discovery, a p...
