2020 Update of the University Open Access Publication Fund

The University Open Access Publication Fund (UOAP) has been managed by the UWM Libraries since 2012. Its highest level of support, for eighteen articles in the total amount of $20,163, was provided in fiscal year 2019. Overall, since its establishment, the fund has paid$89,031 in support of publishing 104 articles. For comparison of levels of open access initiatives at other universities, we reviewed 15 UWM peer universities and found that only three offer such funds. We analyzed open access publications by UWM authors in Web of Science Core Collection. Our results showed a much higher output of DOAJ Gold articles published by UWM authors compared to a small set of similar articles funded by UOAP. We also looked at the journals without article processing charges and articles without funding sources

Finding Open Access Publications by UWM Authors

This study looks at the open access publications affiliated with the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, in Web of Science Core Collection. Such analysis became possible based on a partnership of Clarivate Analytics and Impactstory for integrating new technology which enabled finding an individual open access article from a publisher’s website or an author self-archived manuscript from a repository into Web of Science. The study concludes with three observations: There is 17.4% open access compared to all records affiliated with UWM. There is open access citation advantage for UWM authors. There is prevalence of Gold or Bronze over Green versions at UWM

Evaluating the Impact of the University Open Access Publication Fund

This study describes the University Open Access Publication Fund from 2012 to 2018 at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. The fund supports the “gold” open access model by covering partial costs for authors who publish in journals with article processing charges (APC). Since its establishment the fund has supported publishing 76 articles in fully open access and hybrid journals. Beginning fall 2017 the allocation formula has been increased for publishing in a fully open access journal. The impact of the recent revisions is discussed

The Tenth Anniversary of the UWM Open Access Publication Fund

The UWM Open Access Publication Fund has supported 127 articles for the total amount of $109,100 since 2012. For the past three years, the fund assisted 32 corresponding authors affiliated with 18 different departments, to publish open access articles in 31 journals. UWM publications and citations were analyzed in Web of Science. As a general trend, the UWM output has declined, but the portion of all open access publications remained steady at 40%, and grew for Gold journals from 12% to 16%. Based on the current trends depicting the growth of open access use at UWM, campus-wide discussions about support of the “author pays” methods should provide insight for a good strategy. As of January, 2022, there are about 50 institutional open access publication funds in the USA

UWM publications in MDPI journals

In August 2020, the UWM Libraries signed an agreement with MDPI’s Institutional Open Access Program. This report outlines our findings in support of our decision to join the program. The growing number of UWM publications and faculty affiliations with the editorial boards provided solid evidence. The speed of publication research in MDPI journals is remarkably fast. The other benefits of publishing with MDPI are open access and indexing by reputable discovery platforms

UWM Publications as Preprints

The purpose of this study was to explore the UWM publications as preprints and to identify the servers being used by UWM researchers, and the indexing sources for their discovery. My analysis of the numbers of preprints retrieved by four databases: Dimensions, SciLit, SciFindern, and the Lens, showed a growing number of UWM preprints in the recent five years. Ten different preprint servers have been utilized by UWM researchers since 1995. The top two well-established repositories, arXiv and SSRN, host over 150 UWM preprints each. The popularity of bioRxiv is growing and it is also featuring the most highly citing preprints affiliated with UWM

A General Systems Approach to Cloud Computing Security Issues

An intensive stream of messages about the problem of cloud computing security and a significant number of proposals to mitigate and prevent violation of data privacy and the integrity of the cloud computing environment indicate the relevance and significance of the problem. To bring everything into a certain system is the task of this chapter. We use different methodological approaches in order to find such an integrated solution to the combination of these approaches that, on a unified methodological basis, would allow us to look at the whole range of widening issues of ensuring security and the organization of thinking and activity in the near future. This approach allows us to identify additional problems in this area and outline a program for their development. We try to build a system of methodological design and research over the many private methodologies that authors of articles usually use, relying on the experience of generalizing and concretizing system approaches, and, in particular, expanding geographical and historical boundaries, including system generalizations of intercultural studies and philosophical movements. An attempt is made to disassemble the security problem of cloud computing into a certain number of layers, processes, and technologies of thinking, and to reconnect them into a single whole with the character of thinking and activity
