The 47th Meeting of the Directors of ISSN National Centres will be hosted by the Egyptian National STI Network Academy of Scientific Research and Technology (ENSTINET/ASRT) in Cairo, 20-24 November 2022.

In 2017, The Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera published its final issue. The journal’s website was turned off and all 49 volumes were made freely available on BHL. Five yars later, a “bad actor” had resurrected the Journal of Research on the Lepidoptera website and had been using the journal’s title and ISSN to publish 260 fraudulent new articles. In January 2022, in consultation with ISSN USA, the ISSN Portal record for this ceased journal was updated to describe this situation. In an ideal world, publishers would inform their ISSN Centre or a depository library if they are ceasing publication to prevent ISSN hijacking. The ISSN Portal subscribers will see a note explaining if there has been an misappropriation. Read the full story of this case study.

The 2022 Charleston Conference will be held both in person (November 1 – 4) and online (November 14 – 18).

Gaelle Béquet, Director of the ISSN International Centre, will participate in the session: Making Preservation Inevitable along with Jason Colman, University of Michigan and  Mikael Laakso, Hanken School of Economics. She will describe the roles that indexing services, hosting platforms, and preservation services can play in improving the long-term availability of Open Access journals.

Gaëlle Béquet and Ana Maria Cetto, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, will also participate in the session Separating the wheat from the chaff: How to identify quality open access journals? The presentation will be a roundtable discussion of the Interacademy Partnership (IAP) report‘s recommendations and their impact if any on current and future DOAJ, Latindex and ROAD selection practices.

The Library of Congress has selected the open-source FOLIO library services platform for its next generation library management system. FOLIO’s innovative architecture allows for maximum flexibility and extensibility, which will enable the platform to grow as LoC’s needs evolve. The Library’s FOLIO implementation will be supported by EBSCO FOLIO Services. Most importantly, BIBFRAME is a mandatory requirement, meaning native support for the creation, storage, and indexing of BIBFRAME descriptions. This is a major milestone for the BIBFRAME Initiative.

The ICOLC Strategies for Open Collaboration in Library Consortia Task Force was initially formed to develop strategies for consortia and libraries to interact with vendors and the open source community to address pricing, standards/interoperability, and access challenges. This report, Strategies for Collaboration: Opportunities and Challenges to Build the Future We Need, has articulated a broad vision for how libraries and consortia should radically rethink operations long-term. Suggestions are provided for immediate steps to be taken – with existing vendors, with the open source community, and with each other – to move libraries  toward that future. While this report  is aimed primarily at library consortia, the strategies described will also be useful for individual libraries.

IFLA Journal is an international journal publishing peer reviewed articles on library and information services and the social, political and economic issues that impact access to information through libraries. The October 2022 issue of IFLA Journal was developed in collaboration with the IFLA Advisory Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE) to mark the 20th anniversary of the IFLA Statement on Libraries and Intellectual Freedom.

Increasing evidence emerges that APCs (article processing charges) impede researchers with fewer resources in publishing their research OA. This potential new barrier, called “APC-Effect”, has been examined on the level of individual authors, institutions, countries, and fields. In the study presented by both Austrian researchers, effects are largest in countries with low GDP, suggesting decreasing marginal effects of institutional resources when general levels of funding are high. Findings provide further evidence on how APCs stratify OA publishing and highlight the need for alternative publishing models.

Aix-Marseille Université, cOAlition S, and Science Europe are participating in a Horizon Europe project called ‘Developing Institutional Open Access Publishing Models to Advance Scholarly Communication’ (DIAMAS). The 3-year project, launched on the 1st of September 2022, receives funding in the context of the Horizon Europe call on Capacity-building for institutional open access publishing across Europe. 23 European organisations will map out the landscape of Diamond Open Access publishing in the European Research Area and develop common standards, guidelines and practices for the Diamond publishing sector. The DIAMAS project will interact closely with the global community of the ‘Action Plan for Diamond Open Access’ signatories.

The Annual Progress Report builds on the recent Fully OA report and the Sustainable Business report, and is part of increased openness from Springer Nature into its activities.

Edinburgh University Press (EUP) and Wageningen Academic Publishers are the first to benefit from Get Full Text Research (GetFTR)’s decision to waive the service fees for publishers who have less than 40,000 article DOIs registered with Crossref. This is all part of GetFTR’s commitment to improving the journey from discovery to access, and to support publishers in helping their researchers quickly reach content they are entitled to read.

EBSCO has published the 2023 Serials Price Projection Report. Published annually, EBSCO’s Serials Price Projections is based on surveys of a wide range of publishers and reviews of historical serials pricing data to assist information professionals as they make budgeting decisions for the upcoming renewals season. This year’s report looks at market dynamics highlighting many issues that are currently driving the scholarly information marketplace including the economic effects of COVID-19, high inflation rates, currency impact, the decline of print and the trend toward various forms of Open Access (OA) content. The overall effective publisher price increases are expected to be in the range of 3 to 5 % for individual e-journal titles, 2 to 3 % for e-journal packages and 4 to 6 % for print titles.

In September 2022, the SciELO Program has updated the document Criteria, policy and procedures for the admission and permanence of journals in the SciELO Brazil Collection with a new version. The document is referred to as SciELO Brazil Criteria for its purpose and function of contributing to the development of Brazil’s journals, and at the same time, it serves as a reference for the indexing criteria of all SciELO Network collections. The purpose of this evaluation is to monitor, promote and strengthen the development of the SciELO Brazil Collection of journals and its alignment with the open science modus operandi.

Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

This year’s theme seeks to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community. Sharing knowledge is a human right, and tackling the climate crisis requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across geographic, economic, and disciplinary boundaries.

World Digital Preservation Day (WDPD) is held on the first Thursday of every November.
