The Current Biomedical Publishing Landscape The Publishing Process Publication Ethics Production & Delivery Licensing Practical Considerations The Big Picture The Road Ahead

• • • •

The Current Biomedical Publishing Landscape

Society publishers (not-for-profit) Commercial publishers University presses (not-for-profit) Hybrid model (contract publishing) – – society retains editorial control production, marketing and distribution outsourced to commercial, society or university press publisher

• • •

The Role of Biomedical Journal Publishers: Core Responsibilities

Validate and disseminate research results Establish high quality standards – ethical policies – peer review Selection & editing – Facilitate access to and maximize usability of content – maintain state-of-the art delivery and file format – collaborate in the development of community tools

The Role of STM Journal Publishers:

Associated Responsibilities & Functions

• • • • • Manage author and publisher rights and permissions Comply with industry standards and government policies Maintain digital archiving and preservation strategies Partner with authors, readers and librarians to develop and implement techniques to improve and expedite scientific communication Ongoing investment in publication process innovation

• •

The Role of STM Journal Publishers: Community Benefits

Create a unique community for authors/readers – defined scope – quality seal of approval – discoverability Provide a measure of the researcher ’ s productivity and influence – vital to career path – vital for funding of continuing research

• • • • • • • • • • •

Biomedical Publishing: The Key Players

Authors Scientific editors Editorial board Peer reviewers/referees Editorial department – copyeditors – journal supervisors Art/design department Compositor/printer Online host Marketing and sales departments Rights and permissions Archivists (third party)

THE PUBLISHING PROCESS

The following processes and staffing vary from publisher to publisher

The Editorial Team

(responsible for content selection)

• • • • • Editor Associate/deputy/regional editors Editorial board Reviewers/referees Editor ’ s assistant/managing editor

The editor and editorial board have editorial independence and are solely responsible for content selection.

The Author: Manuscript Submission

• Submits/uploads manuscript to publisher-provided web-based peer review system • Comply with Publisher guidelines, e.g. – – authorship ’ s Instructions to Authors, which provide detailed manuscript submission and preparation ethical policy and COI disclosure – – – figure and data submission manuscript type content suitability

The Author: Manuscript Submission

Manuscript components checked by staff for compliance (usually just prior to acceptance) • Guidelines strive to ensure the integrity of the published work • Sample Instructions to Authors, (continuously updated): – http://jama.ama-assn.org/misc/ifora.dtl

A Peek at Peer Review

More than three centuries old Peer review norm adopted at different times in different fields, and different locations Today essentially synonymous with scholarly journal publishing In medicine dates only from the mid 1940s

• •

The Typical Peer Review Process

Manuscript submission – usually via online system – date-stamp the research of a particular author to establish priority and precedence Step one: initial review by intake editor – fundamental questions: • Is it appropriate for the scope of the journal?

– • • • Does it present new research findings?

Other articles on the same topic?

What is the journal ’ s capacity at present?

may either reject or move forward

The Typical Peer Review Process

Step two: assignment to ‘ decision ’ editor – assigns article to 2-3 reviewers – art, statistics and text reviewed for quality and authenticity • The final step: outcome options with final decision made by editor – – – acceptance rejection (on scientific or ethical grounds acceptance (with minor or major revisions)

Article Revision & Resubmission

• • • Upon conclusion of review . . . authors may be asked to revise their manuscript before it receives further consideration Typical requests: – – rewriting additional research Author ’ s options: – – revise and resubmit submit to another journal

• • •

New Peer Review Tools & Procedures

Clinical Trial Registry – per 9/16/2004 International Committee of Medical Journal Editors joint statement, ICMJE member journals now require, as a condition of consideration for publication, registration in a public trials registry, on or before onset of patient enrollment (N Engl J Med 351;12,1250) – URL: ClinicalTrials.gov

Statistical Review – manuscripts also often go through one or more rounds of statistical review – some journals may require independent statistical analysis Reporting Conflicts of Interest, Financial Aspects of Research and Role of Sponsors in Funded Studies – http://jama.ama-assn.org/misc/editpolicy.dtl

• • •

Peer Review in the News

Infrequently – considering 1.25 million primary research and review articles published per year across all disciplines Preconditions – publication of flawed research – ethics violations on a newsworthy topic (e.g., cloning) – Possible results – public shaming of the culprit – – adverse publicity for the publication involved and its editorial staff a brief flurry of public discussion

A Recent Example: Human Cloning

Hwang Woo-suk et al, “ Patient-Specific Embryonic Stem Cells Derived From Human SCNT Blastocysts, ” Science, May 2005 – – – claim: team had made stem cell lines from skin cells of 11 people hailed as a scientific breakthrough on publication declared “ an intentional fabrication ” by Seoul National University panel, December 2005

An Example: Peer Review Failure?

The peer review process is not designed to detect deliberate fraud

• Failure occurs when a published article that has been subjected to peer review contains obvious errors that undermine one or more of its main conclusions

PUBLICATION ETHICS

• • • •

Publication Ethics: What Are the Issues?

Data fabrication/falsification – changing or making up data in a manuscript; intended to “ improve ” the results Unacceptable figure manipulation – Altering or changing any specific feature within an image Duplicate/redundant publication – submission of or publication of the same paper or substantial parts of a paper in more than one place Human/animal welfare concerns – treatment of experimental subjects that does not conform with accepted standards and journal policy

• • • •

Publication Ethics: What Are the Issues?

Authorship disputes – disputes arising from the addition, deletion or change of authors Plagiarism/self-plagiarism – taking the work of another or copying one ’ s own – work copying a figure, table or even wording from a published or unpublished paper without attribution to one ’ s own or another ’ s work Conflicts of interest (COI) – real or perceived conflict due to employment, consulting, or investment in entities with an interest in the outcome of the research Others – reviewer bias; reviewer misappropriation of privileged information – duplicate submission

• • • • •

Ethical Policies

Publishers set clearly-stated policies – while publisher policies vary, authors found to have violated these policies are subject to a variety of actions, from the issuance of Corrigenda, retractions, and up to and including notification of their institution and/or sanctions for the most Some publication ethical policies – APS: www.the-aps.org/publications/journals/apsethic.htm

– AAAS: www.sciencemag.org/about/authors/prep/gen_info.dtl

Many publishers exert extensive efforts on furthering research integrity through compliance with ethical policies, both in staff and editor time Membership organizations providing guidance and support on publications ethics – Committee on Publications Ethics (COPE); http://publicationethics.org – Council of Science Editors (CSE); www.councilscienceeditors.org

Office of Research Integrity (ORI) for ethical publication violations for manuscripts funded by NIH ); http://ori.dhhs.gov

PRODUCTION & DELIVERY

Post-acceptance Publication Process

Figures checked for authenticity Accepted , unedited manuscript published Figures edited/redrawn; manuscript copyedited Author marks, returns proof Page proofs emailed to author and copyeditor Ms to compositor Pagination and final corrections Issue posted online and print issue mailed 29

• • • •

Copyediting/Quality Control

Transfer of accepted manuscript from journal editor to publisher to put into production May be internal or outsourced – cost vs. speed vs. quality control Assign DOI Quality & processing control tasks – style consistency, minor rewriting • require author & reviewer approval – – – – attention to grammar, spelling, punctuation, prose XML format for text non-text elements • math & formulas • • tables & charts halftones proofreading

Production

Proceeding from typeset, copyedited electronic manuscript – tracking author proofs + corrections – – – – – process for “ in-press ” article release online assign further identifiers relative to issue make-up (e.g., volume/issue/page numbers) proceed with issue make-up • non-editorial content (e.g., front & back matter, covers, ads) release final article for online database forward to printer

The content of meals consumed after exercise can impact metabolic responses for hours and even days after the exercise session. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of low dietary carbohydrate (CHO) vs. low energy intake in meals after exercise on insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism the next day. Nine healthy men participated in four randomized trials. During the control trial (CON) subjects remained sedentary. During the other three trials, subjects exercised [65% peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak); cycle ergometer and treadmill exercise] until they expended ~800 kcal. Dietary intake during CON and one exercise trial (BAL) was designed to provide sufficient energy and carbohydrate to maintain nutrient balance. In contrast, the diets after the other two exercise trials were low in either CHO (LOW-CHO) or energy (LOW-EN). The morning after exercise we obtained a muscle biopsy, assessed insulin sensitivity (Si; intravenous glucose tolerance test) and measured lipid kinetics (isotope tracers). Although

LICENSING

Licensing

• Site Licensing - Site wide access to books, journals • Translated Edition Licensing -Publishers translate their jrs and provide access to other countries in the local language • Aggregator/third party licensing - Third party, e.g. an aggregator, provides access to secondary content

Site Licensing (SL)- Options

• Organization-wide, 24/7 access to one title or a collection of titles • May come with or without a print copy • The “ tiered ” pricing model is the most common among publishers • We will use the Pediatrics model as an illustration

Site Licensing (SL)- Options (Pediatrics)

• 4 Tiers- Academic, Medical, Public/Non-Profit and Corporate tiers • The tier, and the level within each tier, determine an institution ’ s SL price.

• A medical school is a level 3 academic tier; A small law firm is a level 3 corporate tier. Both pay the same price.

Pediatrics SL Pricing Tiers Academic

1. Primary/Secondary school 2. Undergraduate or master ’ s level college/university 3. PhD-granting research university 3. Medical school 5. University consortium or shared network

Locally Licensed Editions

• • • • • Many US and British publishers reach out to their colleagues overseas through licensed editions (print and/or online).

Licensed editions, both translated or in English, provide selected articles to local markets.

Access is provided to those who normally cannot afford a subscription to the primary edition.

Publicizes research performed in the US and encourages local researchers to submit their work to the primary edition.

American Academy of Family Physicians, American Heart Association, American Medical Association, British Medical Journal and many others provide licensed options.

Different Approaches to Local Editions: ASCO/JCO

• Journal of Clinical Oncology published by the American Society for Clinical Oncology http://jco.ascopubs.org/site/translations/home.xhtml

• Maximum number of local editions all coordinated by a Deputy Editor for International Editions, working with the ASCO International Affairs Committee, and who reports directly to the Editor-in-Chief of the “ home ” publication http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/29/12/local/ed board.pdf

• Program is in growth mode and additional editions are vigorously pursued and will be produced

Different Approaches to Local Editions: ASCO/JCO

• Eleven translated and four English-language editions: Chinese, Czech/Slovak, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Turkish • JCO encourages their translation publishing partners to send their article files for posting to the “ home ” JCO site • The same access controls are used for the translations as for the English versions

Different Approaches to Local Editions: ASCO/JCO

• Many, or perhaps most, other publishers do not fully integrate their local edition into their overall business • ASCO includes the local language editions as part of their core business strategy • Local editors select articles most relevant to their respective markets • The Deputy Editor for International Editions is located in Paris. Most communication is via e-mail. He approves all line ups based on a set of criteria that he and the Editor-in-Chief developed along w/staff.

Different Approaches to Local Editions: ASCO/JCO

• One yearly meeting with all the ASCO international editors at the ASCO Annual Meeting • Most of the ASCO international editions are print only • A few, such as Italian are online only • None of the JCO international publishers publish in both print and online. If they wished to invest the resources they would be permitted to do so • The online versions linked to the JCO site are really a service for paid subscribers who wish to read what s/he can in his own language

Different Approaches to Local Editions: AHA

• American Heart Association publishes 11 primary journals • Primary goal of the AHA local edition program is to expand visibility and market penetration • Secondary goal is to generate revenue • Editions are considered whenever a local sponsor can be located • All AHA local editions are sponsored

Different Approaches to Local Editions: AHA

Local translated editions available in Hungary, France, Turkey, Japan, Poland, Spain, China and Korea Local English language editions available in Egypt and the Gulf Wolters Kluwer, the AHA contract publisher, manages the program

Different Approaches to Local Editions: American College of Physicians (ACP)

• The ACP publishes Annals of Internal Medicine • Small local local edition program • Local editions for Mexico and Central America in Spanish by Intersistemas • Local edition for India in English done by Aramuc • All are print editions; no online editions

Different Approaches to Local Editions: American College of Physicians (ACP)

• The ACP publishes Annals of Internal Medicine • Small local local edition program • Local editions for Mexico and Central America in Spanish by Intersistemas • Local edition for India in English done by Aramuc • All are print editions; no online editions

Different Approaches to Local Editions:

New England Journal of Medicine

• Since 2001, the full text of selected articles from weekly issues of NEJM, have been translated by and

included in the China Medical Tribune.

• This was a major change in the NEJM local edition

strategy which, until this point, did not make its full text available in locally translated language editions

• Chinese physicians and Ministry of Health personnel who are conversant in English do the translations

Different Approaches to Local Editions:

New England Journal of Medicine

NEJM also has an on-site editor working in China to make certain that the translation meets Journal standards

When the venture was launched in 2001 the primary goal of the CMT translation was to increase distribution rather than make a profit. Profitability is now one of the important goals Abstracts are translated in other countries, including Spain, Germany, and Korea

Third Party Licensing - Aggregators

• Aggregators: Companies that bundle books, journals, databases and other information into online-content subscriptions • Most common aggregators include Ovid, EBSCO, ProQuest, Dialog, Gale/Cengage, Westlaw, LexisNexis, WebMD • Aggregators allow publishers to reach non-core markets and provide supplemental revenue stream

Third Party Licensing – Aggregators EBSCO, ProQuest, Gale/Cengage

• Wide array of databases in the sciences, medicine, social sciences, humanities and finance • Provide libraries with one portal to access numerous products • Ease of use

Third Party Licensing – Aggregators Westlaw, LexisNexis

• In-depth coverage of international, national and other legal sources • In the US every law school and law firm has access to one or both of the databases • Complex and well organized system to access laws, statues and court decisions

Third Party Licensing – Aggregators WebMD

• Rated as the most popular site for doctors in the US • Most publishers do not allow their full text to appear on WebMD because the economic return is quite small

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services

• Also referred to as “ decision support ” tools • Developed for physicians who need reliable information quickly • Many physicians have grown accustomed to reading digested summaries of evidence to guide them in their clinical thinking and decision making

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services

• POC services make a physician ’ s retrieval of evidence easier • POC resources are small compared to the millions of citations in MEDLINE and Google Scholar • POC tools tend to answer broad clinical questions

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services

Most POC services include at least the following features: • Synthesis of current evidence for treatment and drugs • Means for rapid consultation at the point of patient care • Evidence-based, frequently updated information with links to relevant literature

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services

• Drug information, ICD coding, basic information for patients, provision for links to electronic health records

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services

ACP PIER BMJ Clinical Evidence EBSCO Dynamed Epocrates First Consult OvidMD UpToDate

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services –Epocrates

Extensive market penetration Focus is almost exclusively on drugs -Clinical information on prescription medicines and OTC products -Formulary information; drug interaction checker Over 500,000 subscribers worldwide; 1 in 4 US physicians and more than 1 in 3 US medical students

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services –OvidMD

• Launched May 2011 • Slick interface and easy to use • Provides access to publications included in the Ovid aggregator service • Provides access to UpToDate and other POC services to users with paid subscriptions • Evidence based

Third Party Licensing Point-of-Care Services -

UpToDate

• Largest, by far, of all the POC services -High penetration of the medical school and practicing physician market • Covers over 8,300 topics in 16 major clinical areas • More than 4,400 physicians serve as authors, editors and peer reviewers

Discovery Services

• Definition: Unified portal through which all library resources (digital and print) can be accessed *Material from outside the collection is excluded • The most prominent discovery services in the US include: --EBSCO Discovery Service --ProQuest Summon --OCLC WorldCat

Gateway Services

• Definition: Gateway services, offered by many subscription agents, facilitate access to and use of titles on a Publisher ’ s web site (No full text) • As with the old print subscription agency catalogs, gateway services facilitate ordering and renewal of subscriptions • Examples: --EBSCO Gateway --SwetsWise

New Companies- Licensing Opportunities?

The Web has spawned many new business enterprises Unproven Weak business models or none at all Examples: DeepDyve, PubGet

New Companies- DeepDyve

• STM article rental service using iTunes model Per article, weekly and monthly rental plans available • Focus is untapped “ knowledge worker ” market outside of typical subscribing institutions • Articles converted to Flash format and this prevents downloading and printing

New Companies- PubGet

• More efficient searching tool • PubGet allows searching and accessing of PDFs • PubGet offers libraries ability to gain access via institutional subscriptions (modified portal/discovery service) • PubGet is a PDF browser • Also includes the application of advertising to the site.

• PDF availability depends on whether user already has subscription access to view them

New Distribution Channels Amazon Kindle

• Primarily an ebook reader but STM publishers are using it to deliver subscriptions • Considered an experiment by participating STM journal publishers • Is it a new business or business moving from other media?

New Distribution Channels Google

• Google – the ultimate distribution channel • Owns no content • Not responsible for filling customer orders • Links to literally anything • Not clear now a journal publisher can make money from Google as Google already sends users to the basic citation and abstract information • Google has done its job by delivering users to the article through its linking system; then out of the picture

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Pricing Considerations

• • • Decision makers – editorial, marketing, finance, society, sales Position of individual journal – – – established/new?

Digitizing Archival Content

Preliminary decisions – gathering print copies in good condition – – – – cover-to-cover scanning? advertisements? project management assignment internally choosing a vendor/partner pricing strategy • Digitization Process – scanning • decision on destructive or non-destructive processing – – OCR (optional character recognition) • dependent on quality and layout of original • • quality assurance: human oversight is essential specialized content (e.g., medical) not easily recognizable by OCR XML conversion • necessary to make content findable on the Web

• • • • • •

Issues in Digital Preservation

Reliable and perpetual access is a priority as more and more journals move online Whose responsibility is it and who pays for it? – publisher, library or combination? Trigger event(s): – a publisher stops operations – – publication of a title ceases back issues are no longer available – a publisher ’ s delivery platform fails for a sustained period Dark vs. light archives Rights transfer Access control

• • •

Major Preservation Solutions

Member/subscriber initiatives: – Portico – LOCKSS – CLOCKSS Government-supported initiatives – – Koninklijke Bibliotheek e-Deposit German National Library pilot – – British Library voluntary deposit policy Library of Congress e-journal deposit pilot Consortia that aggregate content – OCLC ECO – OhioLINK – Ontario Scholars Portal

THE ROAD AHEAD

• • • • • •

Economic Challenges for Publishers

Steadily increasing volume of submissions Constant pressure to keep up with industry innovations in technology and functionality Increasingly capital intensive back office requirements – additional investment in hardware and software – higher skill set for staff, more training, longer learning curve . . . all resulting in increased costs Coupled with declining library and practitioner funds for subscriptions Market demand to increase efficiency and service while holding or (preferably) reducing prices Uncertainty about sustainability of traditional business model – open access (author-paid model) – – public access government mandated deposit

• • • • • • •

Environmental & Technological Challenges

Speed to publication continues unabated Continuity of the journal brand . . . or the journal as package Global perspective: input + output – content, languages, interfaces, customs, help desk support Mobile devices – PDAs, Notebooks, eBooks, eReaders New digital content added to platforms with expectation of functionality, flexibility and discoverability comparable to journals – reference works, book series, monographs – audio, video, animation Future of copyright in the digital world Digital piracy – economic threat – integrity of content
