A Case Report Of Faculty Association With Predatory Publishing, Kelly Johnson
A Case Report Of Faculty Association With Predatory Publishing, Kelly Johnson
Upstate New York Science Librarians Conference
A case study is presented in order to prompt discussions of how to serve faculty who have fallen victim to predatory publishers. After learning of a field-specific predatory journal, a search of the publisher’s website revealed an institutional researcher had been included on the board of editors. After reaching out, the researcher confirmed that he was not legitimately associated with the journal, and asked for assistance in removing his name. I was unprepared to help him, and while an internet search provided information on how to approach removal, other questions surfaced. For example, how do we approach faculty with the …

Analyzing Trends In Discovery Layer Effectiveness Using High Impact Referrals, Robert Boissy
Analyzing Trends In Discovery Layer Effectiveness Using High Impact Referrals, Robert Boissy
Upstate New York Science Librarians Conference
Many competing claims have been made about the time and expense of maintaining different discovery tools in the academic library setting. Analysis of traffic, visits, and views may be inadequate data to focus this discussion. Analysis of high impact referrals, those that lead directly to downloads and denials, is more meaningful. Downloads are an indicator of worth, as are denials. This brief session will outline what a major STM publisher looks for in the profile of the discovery layer of its academic clients.
