Book excerpt: In the ever-evolving landscape of academic publishing, Open Journal Systems (OJS) stands as a beacon of empowerment, ushering in a new era of scholarly communication. This book, “Unveiling the World of Open Journal Systems: Empowering Academic Publishing,” is a journey through the heart of this transformative platform. In the corridors of academia, the need for accessible, efficient, and sustainable publishing solutions has never been more pronounced. OJS, an open-source software designed to facilitate the creation and management of scholarly journals, has emerged as a powerful tool in the hands of editors, authors, reviewers, and readers alike. Its philosophy of openness, transparency, and collaboration has redefined how knowledge is disseminated and accessed. As the pages of this book unfold, we embark on a quest to unravel the intricate web of OJS, exploring its history, functionality, and the myriad possibilities it offers to academic publishers. With each chapter, we delve deeper into the mechanics of OJS, from installation and configuration to customization and optimization. We navigate the editorial processes, peer review workflows, and the ethical dimensions of academic publishing that OJS effortlessly accommodates. But this journey goes beyond technicalities. It delves into the essence of scholarly collaboration and the democratization of knowledge. We share stories of journals that have thrived with OJS, amplifying their voices across the globe. We celebrate the success stories of journals that have found their niche, fostered innovation, and contributed to the enrichment of their academic communities. Throughout this book, we emphasize the transformative power of OJS—the way it empowers editors to steer their journals, authors to disseminate their research, reviewers to enrich the peer review process, and readers to explore a universe of knowledge. We acknowledge that this book is not an endpoint but rather a stepping stone. OJS, as an ever-evolving platform, continues to adapt to the changing needs of academic publishing. We invite you to join us on this journey, to explore, to adapt, and to harness the full potential of OJS in your pursuit of academic excellence. In “Unveiling the World of Open Journal Systems: Empowering Academic Publishing,” we hope to inspire editors, publishers, scholars, and technologists to embrace OJS as a powerful tool for advancing the frontiers of knowledge. It is our humble contribution to the ongoing dialogue on open scholarship, accessibility, and the democratization of academic publishing. Thank you for embarking on this journey with us, as we unveil the world of Open Journal Systems.

Download or read book Transparency written by Rachel Adams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critiques the contemporary recourse to transparency in law and policy. This is, ostensibly, the information age. At the heart of the societal shift toward digitalisation is the call for transparency and the liberalisation of information and data. Yet, with the recent rise of concerns such as 'fake news', post-truth and misinformation, where the policy responses to all these phenomena has been a petition for even greater transparency, it becomes imperative to critically reflect on what this dominant idea means, whom it serves, and what the effects are of its power. In response, this book provides the first sustained critique of the concept of transparency in law and policy. It offers a concise overview of transparency in law and policy around the world, and critiques how this concept works discursively to delimit other forms of governance, other ways of knowing and other realities. It draws on the work of Michel Foucault on discourse, archaeology and genealogy, together with later Foucaultian scholars, including Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Judith Butler, as a theoretical framework for challenging and thinking anew the history and understanding of what has become one of the most popular buzzwords of 21st century law and governance. At the intersection of law and governance, this book will be of considerable interest to those working in these fields; but also to those engaged in other interdisciplinary areas, including society and technology, the digital humanities, technology laws and policy, global law and policy, as well as the surveillance society.
Download or read book Opening Science written by Sönke Bartling and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern information and communication technologies, together with a cultural upheaval within the research community, have profoundly changed research in nearly every aspect. Ranging from sharing and discussing ideas in social networks for scientists to new collaborative environments and novel publication formats, knowledge creation and dissemination as we know it is experiencing a vigorous shift towards increased transparency, collaboration and accessibility. Many assume that research workflows will change more in the next 20 years than they have in the last 200. This book provides researchers, decision makers, and other scientific stakeholders with a snapshot of the basics, the tools, and the underlying visions that drive the current scientific (r)evolution, often called ‘Open Science.’

Download or read book Digital Innovation Harnessing The Value Of Open Data written by Anne-laure Mention and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital innovation — involving the Internet, its content and ecosystems of global users — is a rapidly evolving way of creating strategic and societal value. The phenomenon of Open data is on the rise and transforming the fundamental nature of how many industries, companies and governments connect with each other and the end-users of products and services — from increased customer-centric innovations, to winning political campaigns, and managing public health concerns. Open data holds the promise of greater transparency, greater accountability and empowerment of stakeholders. Yet curating and publicly sharing data can be difficult, requires substantive investments in knowledge infrastructures and incentives to do so are not well understood. Who is driving and enabling the open data movement? What motivates organizations to release data and how are they using it to create value? What are the current challenges and how are they being mitigated? What are the decision-frames adopted for sharing data? What are the possible applications and lessons to be learnt from current practices? What is the role of organisational ingredients and culture as a catalyst for adopting and facilitating open data practices? What is the possible impact of semantic web application? By exploring the multiple dimensions of open data and the interplay of economic utility, governance, societal values of fairness and trust, this volume seeks to entice readers by providing evidence-based answers to these questions, among others. Readers are tempted to a progressively revealing and enlightening journey from the conceptualisation to cultural proliferation of the latest trends in knowledge management: open data.Digital Innovation: Harnessing the Value of Open Data draws on practical experiences, bringing together widely distributed and latest knowledge of open data practices as case studies from researchers, academics, industry leaders, policy advisors and practitioners. In exploring the economics and technology paradigms, data governance and management practices of digital-centric private and public organizations, this volume sheds light on why there exists a need to embrace open data, what is needed to optimize the value of open data in driving digital innovation and how it is being currently conceived. The book draws a thought-provoking conclusion on open data as a purpose-driven phenomenon, with its disparate applications in a world of where global convergence on information sharing, storing and management are increasingly becoming a norm.Related Link(s)

Download or read book Liberalism Unveiled Forging A New Third Way In Singapore written by Bryan Yi Da Cheang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1965, Singapore has been propelled to the dizzying heights of first-world prosperity. Yet, the People's Action Party's signature style of technocratic elitism has come under increasing criticism by a new generation of left-leaning progressive scholars and activists condemning the excesses of neoliberalism. The PAP's mode of governance that prioritizes economic growth is criticised in favour of a vaguely European-style welfare state and greater state intervention.Bryan Cheang and Donovan Choy break this traditional pro-PAP versus anti-PAP dichotomy by providing a fresh classical liberal perspective. The authors contend that both sides discern only parts of the political puzzle correctly. This book envisions a new path forward for Singapore's policy-making, one characterised by greater competition & freedom. It critiques the conservative-right through a fresh take on the philosophical underpinnings of the 'Singapore Consensus': communitarianism, meritocracy and technocracy. The authors also engage with the new social democratic orthodoxy, demonstrating the dangers of egalitarian interventions & state-based environmentalism.Applying the interdisciplinary insights of political philosophy and political economy, this novel account recommends epistemic liberalism, a system of governance based on intellectual humility, limited government, and decentralisation.
