15. Megajournals as a disruptive force
•
•
•
•
Cost-effective
Scalable, and can grow quickly
Great for authors
Strong competition for conventional
approaches
• An open platform for research
communication
18. Estimates the
proportion of open
access content in
Brazil (2008-2011) to
be 63%
“…no doubt due to
the important
contribution of
SciELO.”

22. eLife – scope
• BROAD
From basic and theoretical work to
translational, applied and clinical research.
• SELECTIVE
Highly influential work that advances understanding,
opens new doors or has real-world impacts.
27. Some impact is hard to measure
“Dear Public Library of Science people,
I just listened to a mouse song on line…
I do not have the funds to subscribe to the traditional science journals.
Tomorrow my students will hear the same mouse song I listened to and I am
sure they will be as enchanted and interested as I am. The idea of open
access to original research papers is very exciting to someone in my
position…
I can assure you that the availability of research papers will benefit the
future of scientific research by providing motivation and stimulation for
millions of fledgling scientists.
Sincerely,
Science Teacher”
28. The impact
factor is…
• a journal-based metric
• proprietary
• incomplete

34. New metrics and indicators of
scholarship
• From one measure to many
• From journal to article
• From one output to many
35. • Recommendations for
publishers, funders, institutio
ns, metrics suppliers, and
researchers

reform of assessment
and much more…
37. Open access is one
part of a much
broader transition
