Attendees will become familiar with the JR1 GOA reports from COUNTER as …

What existing services might we be able to draw on to help researchers maximize the reach and impact of their work, wherever it takes place? …

Open Peer Review At Four Stem Journals: An Observational Overview [Version 2; Referees: 2 Approved, 2 Approved With Reservations], Emily Ford
Library Faculty Publications and Presentations
Open peer review, peer review where authors' and reviewers' identities are disclosed to one another, is a growing trend in scholarly publishing. Through observation of four journals in STEM disciplines, PLOS One, Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics, PeerJ, and F1000Research, an observational overview is conducted.

Further, the analysis shows that only one of these implementations is fully transparent in its peer review and decision making process. Finally, the overview contends …
