Weekly Highlights April 10 - 17

Scholarly Publishing

1. How Related are Journal Impact and Research Impact?
   a webinar introducing some concepts around research impact
   Journal impact is usually a synonym for Impact Factors and other scores based on the average number of citations received by a particular journal in a particular period. Journal impact is not an indicator of the quality of individual studies published in that journal. 
   journal impact ≠ academic impact ≠ research impact
   research impact = real world impact

   Open Access and OER

4. White House open access proposal would limit research and innovation 
   Publishers put these research submissions through a rigorous process. For example, they recruit leading researchers to guide the articles through the peer-review process; revise, format, and index the article; and then provide it to the scientific, technical, engineering, and medical (STEM) communities through searchable, vetted, and verified scientific journals.

10. "ONGOING GRIFTING - publishers have been trying to co-opt the language around open for ever. The alignment of 'gold' OA with 'paid' OA has been a long struggle.
