Cost and value in the peer-reviewed scholarly digital journal information chain

The thesis reports research on digital publishing of peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. The aim was: (1) to first describe the activities undertaken by the stakeholders involved in scholarly Journal publishing, a process that is largely uncharted; (2) then to relate those activities to the structure of the scholarly journal publishing chain with reference to various economic or business models that have been tested or proposed; (3) and finally to explain in strategic terms some of the developments observed. Between four and six subjects were interview from each of the following groups of stakeholders in the scholarly journal information chain: authors, editors/referees (one group), publishers and librarians.

A biblioteca híbrida: o acesso ao conteúdo das publicações periódicas científicas portuguesas nas bibliotecas universitárias

Access to scientific and scholarly information in academic libraries is made available trough journal content. The technological evolution provides libraries with different forms of access and various types of supports to periodicals. Despite the importance of electronic journals, printed journals remain an important way of making available scientific information. The search and retrieval of information in periodicals is the most usual way to have access to the contents of articles in the academic world. The best tools to achieve it are the international indexes and abstracts databases. However, the content of Portuguese journals are seldom referenced in international search tools. We intend to characterize the actual situation and to suggest a feasible solution to provide access to Portuguese-language articles in academic libraries. The purpose of our dissertation is to examine current solutions to improve content accessibility to Portuguese journals and make a proposal to achieve it. In this work we present a survey of models of infrastructure and technologies to bibliographic data share. It describes three technical solutions to share bibliographic data, representing the models referenced above. We present national and international projects developed in this area. Simultaneously, we propose a Portuguese journal analytic cooperative cataloguing solution, based on a local trial
