Curation Hubs: A description and explanation of an initiative to advance open criminology · CrimRxiv
<p>The <a href="https://www.crimrxiv.com/consortium">CrimRxiv Consortium</a> will advance open criminology with <a href="https://crimrxiv.com/curation">Curation Hubs</a>: expert- and community-led Collections of already-published criminology outputs. Each Hub focuses on a criminological niche, showcasing its “best,” “exemplary,” or otherwise notable works. They’re nominated by the public; selected by a team of experts—“Curators”; supported by the Consortium. Each curated-work is framed as a Pub on <a href="https://crimrxiv.com">CrimRxiv</a> and displayed on the Hub. With this endeavor, the Consortium will increase the quantity, LIS-quality, and impact of open-criminology. As a utilitarian organization, we strive to maximize their utility for the greater good.</p>
<p>CrimRxiv is powered by <a href="http://pubpub.org">PubPub</a> of <a href="https://www.knowledgefutures.org/">Knowledge Futures</a>.</p>

OPEN ACCESS READER
<p><sup>Edited by Scott Jacques | Preprint edition | Published January 7, 2024 | © 2024 | New materials are CC BY NC SA | doi: 10.21428/93b40405.fd2836f0 | ISBN forthcoming</sup></p>
<p> </p>
<p>My <em>Open Access Reader</em> is a compilation of excerpts that are open access and inform it as a subject. The excerpts are drawn from <a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/">MIT Press</a> books, republished with the open-source platform <a href="https://pubpub.org">PubPub</a>, a product of the MIT-spinoff <a href="https://www.knowledgefutures.org/">Knowledge Futures</a>. I approach the <em>Open Access Reader </em>as an ongoing experiment in computational and open access publishing. In subsequent editions, I want to increase the Reader’s quantity and quality: how much there is, and how good it is. I may add <a href="https://help.pubpub.org/pub/core-concepts#collections">Collections</a> for each book and each subject. These Collections may include ancillary OER with audio, video, and interactive features. I made an <a href="https://chat.openai.com/g/g-QO8zBJQkN-oar-companion">AI ChatBot</a>, but I haven’t figured out how to make it open access. I made a <a href="https://www.perusall.com/">Perusall</a>-based “Book Club,” but I haven’t decided how exactly to use it with this Reader. And so on. But I’m getting ahead of myself... Currently, I consider the <em>Open Access Reader </em>to be a preprint: good enough to make public, but not “final final” because edits are expected. I encourage you to publicly or privately shape the Reader by, respectively, <a href="https://oar.pubpub.org/reviews">submitting an open review</a> or <a href="mailto:me@scottjacques.us">emailing me</a>.</p>

Open access to journal articles of the American Society of Criminology: A little study to illustrate concepts and costs · CrimRxiv
<p>There can be 100% open access (OA) to criminology articles. It’d increase criminology’s scientificity and impact. Anything less is a social injustice. To advance open criminology, the American Society of Criminology’s (ASC) Scientific Integrity Committee hosted the <a href="https://doi.org/10.21428/cb6ab371.b8929691">Green Open Access Webinar</a>. The advertisement makes a bold proclamation: "ALL journal articles can be made open access for FREE... yes, 100% FREE." Is the proclamation true? Now? Legally? How? Who has the power? I answer these questions in this Pub. I conclude with thoughts on how to allocate scarce resources for the greatest good. ROI matters because we can't support everything; we need to choose. Money spent on gold OA could have better ROI if invested in the systematic provision of green OA. Instead of pay publishers APCs, pay the money directly to authors, editors, learned-societies, and others who can multiply the quantity and quality of OA by emphasizing what's green over gold. </p>
<p>If you’d like to disagree with me, correct me, or whatever, please do! Among other ways, you can “Post a discussion” at the Pub's end or in-line. You’re also welcome to engage me on Twitter/X at <a href="https://twitter.com/sjacques83">@SJacques83</a>. (I don't have a Mastadon or Bluesky account yet, sorry; but it's on my to-do list.)</p>

Ranking the openness of criminology units: An attempt to incentivize the use of librarians, institutional repositories, and unit-dedicated subpages to increase scholarly impact and justice · CrimRxiv
<p>In this article, I describe and explain a way for criminologists—as individuals, groups and, especially, as university units (e.g., colleges, departments, schools)—to increase the quantity and quality of open criminology: ask university librarians to make their outputs open access on their “unit repositories” (URs), which are unit-dedicated subpages on universities’ institutional repositories (IR). I try to advance this practice by devising and employing a metric, the “URscore,” to document, analyze, and rank criminology units’ contributions to open criminology, as prescribed. To illustrate the metric’s use, I did a study of 45 PhD-granting criminology units in the United States (US). I find almost all of them (98%) have access to an IR; less than two-thirds (62%) have a UR; less than one-third (29%) have used it this decade (up to August 11, 2022); their URs have a total of 190 open outputs from the 2020s, with 78% emanating from the top-three “most open”—per my ranking—PhD-granting criminology units in the US: those of the University of California, Irvine (with 72 open outputs), the John Jay College of Criminal Justice (with 47 such outputs), and the University of Nebraska, Omaha (with 30 such outputs). Each URscore reflects a criminology unit’s scholarly productivity and scholarly justice. I hope they see the ranking as a reward or opportunity for improvement. Toward that end, I conclude with a discussion of critical issues, instructions, and futures.</p>

ResearchHub Editor Program
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://www.researchhub.com/">ResearchHub</a> is a scientific forum where users are rewarded with an Ethereum token called ResearchCoin for openly publishing, curating, and discussing scientific papers. Our goal is to create an opportunity for any scientist to be adequately compensated for openly sharing their expertise within the academic community. A thriving community is the heart of every successful platform and ResearchHub is no different. Editors will play a key role in bootstrapping the ResearchHub community. Loosely speaking, their job will be a hybrid between an Ambassador, a moderator, and a traditional journal editor. Editors will be assigned to various hubs (analogous to scientific journals) where they will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Participate in scientific discussion</li>
<li>Curate quality content</li>
<li>Grow the community</li>

Bypass Embargoes by Providing the World’s Scholars With a Rights-Retention Policy · Scott Jacques
<p>Embargoes are a social injustice that restrict the spread of research, reducing its impact. There is a proven solution: authors adopt a rights-retention policy. Only a small fraction of the world’s scholars are protected by such a policy. For a rights-retention policy to have maximum effect, everyone must be able to adopt it. OADAO can increase OA to scholarly articles by creating and supporting an opt-in rights retention policy for all scholars.</p>

Ginormous New 'Index' Shares Data From 100 Million Science Papers For Free
<p>There's a vast amount of research out there, with the volume growing rapidly with each passing day. But there's a problem. Not only is a lot of the existing literature hidden behind a paywall, but it can also be difficult to parse and make sense of in a comprehensive, logical way. What's really needed is a super-smart version of Google just for academic papers. Enter the <a href="https://archive.org/details/GeneralIndex">General Index</a>, a new database of some 107.2 million journal articles, totaling 38 terabytes of data in its uncompressed form. It spans more than 355 billion rows of text, each featuring a key word or phrase plucked from a published paper.</p>

<p>We can’t allow certain corporations to broker research across institutions with colossal profit margins erected on the back of work conducted by researchers. What researchers need as a right in India is complete, paywall-free access to every paper published everywhere.
