Development of electronic usage in Lithuania, the eIFL License positive impact, and publishing in general. Yann AmourouxRegional Sales Manager, IOP Publishing Lithuania May 2008 yann.amouroux@iop.org, www.iop.org
Agenda • Promoting physics, supporting physicists. • What does IOP Publishing do? • How eIFL opened up electronic access to researchers in Lithuania. • Publishing: the global picture. • Publishing: IOP Publishing statistics. • What happens to your paper during publication? • The importance of partner publishing. • What’s next from IOP Publishing?
Promoting physics, supporting physicists • The Institute of Physics is a scientific membership organisation that promotes the opportunities made possible through physics. • Over 34,000 members worldwide. • 44 subject groups and six professional groups. • Supporting education. • Advising government and industry. • Raising awareness.
Our mission: • Is to advance physics in order to further understanding of the physical world and its application for social and economic benefit; • To promote interest and participation in physics across society as a whole; • To support and involve physicists throughout their education and careers; • Find out more at www.iop.org.
IOP Publishing, brief description: • Over 50 journals; • 10 community websites; • Six magazines including Physics World; • 21 international publishing partners including Cern, IAEA and AAS; • Broad interdisciplinary coverage reflecting the nature of scientific research and application, from topics as varied as astronomy, mathematics, the biosciences and, of course, physics.
eIFL in Lithuania: • Most of IOP titles available via eIFL; • Hugely reduced costs; • Similar level of access as researchers in “top class” institutions (such as MIT or Cambridge); • Demand for electronic journals rapidly growing much faster in the last couple of years; • “Turnaways” also increasing.
Publishing: the global picture: • Research output on the increase, more and more papers published every year (3% growth year on year); • Some “new” countries such as China and India making big impact; • Some previously influential countries losing their power; • Learned societies playing an active part in publishing in general, especially in Science Technology and Medical (STM) publishing.
What happens to your paper? • How do we process your research paper? • How long does it take? • What does a publisher do when a paper gets published?
What happens to your paper? Marketing • Dedicated marketing team to help promote the work of our authors. • Work closely with authors to promote their papers (press releases, recommended reader campaigns, inclusion in journal highlight campaigns, promotion at exhibitions etc.) • General services to improve visibility and accessibility of papers including IOP Select, This months papers, RSS and e-mail alerts etc. • Marketing campaigns help improve citation performance, promote the work of the author and the science. • Ensure our journals are available through services like EIFL and INASP.
Building global partnerships • Partner publishing is one way we help support the global physics community. • Provide our expertise to decrease publication times, increase visibility and citations. • The Publisher is a “contractor”, no change in ownership. • Example of how partnership publishing can work: Chinese Physical Society partnership.
What’s next from IOP Publishing? • IOPscience (www.iopscience.iop.org) • Over 300,000 articles, thousands of subject classifications; • Content from 1874 to the present day; • Over 470,000 E-prints; • Innovative searching and filtering across journal titles and subjects; • Links to related articles, references and citations; • RSS feeds, tag clouds and social bookmarking. And more…
