Future of Journal of Peer Production
by Mathieu ONeil 30 Sep '17

30 Sep '17

Hi all I wrote to this list a few months ago about the fact that we had no releases planned beyond April 2018. There was no response. If we do not organise a CFP now there is no chance of releasing in the second half of 2018. It's probably too late already. But, we still need to look ahead, and decide what to do about this journal. To help focus discussion and responsibility below this message you will find: - a breakdown of the current editorial team [and the issues they edited or co-edited] - all JoPP issues with their editors I think we need to address the following questions: 1. Do we need to organise some form of archiving of the Journal of Peer Production? If yes, how and where? 2. Do we need to devise new ways to come up with new themes for issues (conferences, debates, co-productions...)? 3. If members of the editorial team who have not edited issues for several (?) years are not proposing new issues, should they be on the team? If no, do we need to get new people on the team? Who? 4. If no-one steps up to propose new themes for issues should we plan to pause, or end, the Journal of Peer Production? cheers, Mathieu PS. If anyone wants to propose something, I am open to discussion. I am interested in topics such as UBI and others outlined in this piece: http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-10-peer-production-and-work/now-the-… PPS. An immediate solution could be to issue a call for an "OPEN" issue of JoPP: any aspect of P2P. Using "varia" subs? Still needs editors...

Can someone with Norse skills please tell if this is the case and whether the translation is OK, in which case we can add it to our translations page. They put a nice illustration at least. :-) cheers Mathieu

Fw: Your journal application to DOAJ: Journal of Peer Production

Hi all Ping from DOAJ. With a deadline this time. So, having just gone through the list archive, seems a majority wanted CC0, but could live with CC-BY-SA. As should be abundantly clear by now, I don't particularly mind either way. My only concern is that (a) we don't cause problems down the track and (b) we comply with their guidelines re legal transfer. Specifically, how does CC0 work with: Your application also stated that the author does not hold the copyright without restrictions, and does not retain publishing rights without restrictions. However, I could not find any information about the copyright transfer requirement, or an indication of the rights holder for a published paper. This signals a lack of transparency in the authoring and publishing process. If you send me a link where this information can be found, I can update your DOAJ application. Questions 1. So, what about author rights? Does anything else need to be specified? Or is CC0 a problem in this regard? 2. If its OK, how exactly do we phrase it? "All the contents of JoPP are in the Public Domain (CC0) that is to say free of copyright restrictions around the world. See https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ for more information on this license." 3. If its OK, Creative Commons have a mechanism to embed CC0 info in our site (I think). Do/can we do this? See: "CC0 Waiver These fields are optional, but will be embedded in the HTML generated for your work. This allows users of your work to determine how to contact you or where to go for more information about the work. The information is embedded in a software readable format. This allows search engines to index additional information about your work.

CfP: A Moment of Post-Truth - What are the implications for STS
by Johan Söderberg 08 Sep '17

CfP: A Moment of Post-Truth - What are the Implications for STS? Special issue of Engaging Science, Technology and Society http://estsjournal.org/ Special Issue Editors: Johan Söderberg & Kean Birch Invited discussant: Linsey McGoey The surge of post-truth, alternative facts, and filter bubbles have turned the table on STS discussions about knowledge and truth. Interest in the production of knowledge has been flipped to an interest in the production of non-knowledge, i.e. ignorance. The case could be made that we always have lived in post-truth times. Still, recent political developments underline the gravity of the epistemological issues that previously were confined to academic seminar rooms. The need to be able to tell truthful statements apart from lies was not felt to be so urgent before the rise of populist and anti-rationalist movements and the election of their candidates into seats of office. The haunting question that needs to be addressed is: how can (if at all) the need for making such distinctions be accomplished with core STS tenets: the social construction of scientific facts, the under-determination of empirical data, the symmetrical treatment of true and false statements, and the equalization of lay expertise with expert expertise? What theoretical developments are prompted by the current political landscape? What philosophical traditions and theoretical resources are available to STS scholars for steering a path between the Scylla of technocracy and the Charybdis of populism? Contributors to the special issue of are invited to engage with these questions from a variety of different standpoints. We are looking for papers where theoretically challenging positions are developed through empirically grounded case studies. Linsey McGoey will give her reflection on the individual papers in a concluding section of this special issue of 4S Open Access journal Engaging Science, Technology and Society. Prospecting authors are requested to send a notification of interest + a preliminary title/abstract by 15 October 2017. Please send it to the special editors: johan [dot] soderberg [at] sts [dot] gu [dot] se and keanbirch [at] gmail [dot] com Preliminary publication date is scheduled for winter 2018/spring 2019
