Presentation Transcript

  1. 4: Overlay Journals • What do we mean by “Overlay Journal”? • Certification or quality indicator which applies to items in one or more repositories (separate from repository?) • Broad scope - journals, conference proceedings, edited collections… • Few existing examples: • G&T, G&TM, ATMP, JNMP (on arXiv, see Front) • Medical Education Online (on CogPrints) • Why? • Move on from unsustainable duplication of self-archiving and journal publication (physics) • Permit variety of certification models • Cleanly split certification from functions of repository

  2. Spectrum of options

  3. Issues • Can’t readily build cross-repository overlays until there is widespread, stable and accepted institutional repository infrastructure • Cross-repository overlays will require special metadata support • Ideally certification data should be stored/served by the certification authority • How to link from repository item to certification authority/remote index? How does a user verify the certification? (links? DOIs?)

  4. What can we do now? • There is a pressing need to fill institution repositories. Easy-to-do overlays are a possible transitional strategy to demonstrate benefits: • Conference proceedings • Technical report series (CERN example!) • Secondary certifications • Best of xyz, edited collections (Koningskinderen) • Good option for very small journals which benefit from repository infrastructure/stability/visibility
