[JoPP-Public] Fw: Your journal application to DOAJ: Journal of Peer Production

Thu Aug 17 06:17:57 CEST 2017

Hi Steve, all

We had a lot of discussion about (c) in the beginning and adopted I think CC-BY-SA ? but now it just says "all pubs in public domain".

I guess we need to stay true to our free software roots somehow, so not sure about the uni/author nexus...?

Others?

cheers

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu

What's JoPP's current arrangement with copyrights - is there a current arrangement? I'm guessing that authors don't agree to anything when they submit an article to JoPP. We'll need to implement something for the future - but also need to work on what to do with work that's already been published. To add complexity to the situation it's usual for universities to own the IP in academics' work.

I spoke to a colleague who manages an online journal that is registered with DOAJ, and their (c) statement is quite brief but might provide a template? http://shimajournal.org/index.php
Publication Details - Shima: The International Journal of ...<http://shimajournal.org/index.php>

Shima is a SCOPUS registered peer-refereed academic journal that is published twice a year in open access online form and has been registered with the Directory of ...

Hi all, again

To help move things along here are the two places on the journal site where text could be amended. I realise some of you may be enjoying the dolce far niente of the Northern summer, but, well...

I've made the required changes to the low-hanging fruit i.e. article processing charges and open access [in bold] below.

However for this next requirement I am less certain; where exactly do we stand on author copyright? Steve and Angela, I'm looking at you! 😊

"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."

Hi everyone

Response from DOAJ FYI. I guess we need to be more explicit in our language. Does anyone have thoughts on the below?

cheers

Dear Dr. O’Neil,

I am one of the volunteer Associate Editors at Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). I am currently processing your application for Journal of Peer Production to be included in DOAJ.

Your application states that you do not have article processing charges (APCs) or article submission charges. However, the link you gave where this information can be found does not mention APCs or submission charges. In order to be included in DOAJ, you must explicitly state that you do not have such charges.

One of the requirements for entry into DOAJ is that your journal website must include an open access statement. The link provided on the application, http://peerproduction.net/, does not have a statement. I would like to suggest that you take a look at some of the journals that are currently in DOAJ. Film Criticism has a brief, clear statement about open access that also describes how readers can use the content: http://www.filmcriticismjournal.org/about.html Using such a statement would also fulfill another requirements for inclusion in DOAJ: stating your license or use terms for the reader.

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.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
