<p>"Åpen publisering, eller open access som det ofte kalles med den engelske benevnelsen, kan også bidra til overpublisering i akademia. Målene til EU om at all offentlig finansiert forskning skal være åpent tilgjengelig innen 2020 er viktig politikk. Men det ligger en fare her: Åpen publisering vrir betalingen i den akademiske forlagsbransjen fra leserne til forfatterne. De som leser vitenskapelige tidsskrifter er interessert i streng kvalitetskontroll og færre artikler, mens forfatterne ønsker å få ut det de har skrevet, og helst innen en rimelig tid. Åpen publisering går ofte sammen med heldigitalisering av tidsskriftene – og når det blir nesten gratis å øke antall publiserte sider, kan selv relativt seriøse tidsskrift falle for fristelsen til å øke betydelig hvor mange artikler et tidsskrift kan publisere på et år."</p>
<p>English Translation (Google): "Open publication, or open access, which is often referred to as the English term, may also contribute to overpublication in academia. The objectives of the EU that all publicly funded research should be openly available by 2020 is important policy. But there is a danger here: Open publication reverses the payment in the academic publishing industry from readers to authors. Those who read scientific journals are interested in strict quality control and fewer articles, while authors want to get out what they've written, and preferably within a reasonable time. Open publication often goes with the fortification of the journals - and when it's almost free to increase the number of published pages, even relatively serious journals can fall for the temptation to significantly increase the number of articles a magazine can publish in a year."</p>

The aim is to examine the conditions which exert an influence on the acceptance, dissemination and use of OA in the Vocational Education and Training. In the framework of the research project a so called RLTW-matrix has been developed showing the conditions and the characteristics which are necessary to reduce criticism and scepticism in the VET. The aim of this poster is to draw attention to the project and thus raise awareness of OA as a publication model. A further aspiration is to enter into a discourse on the dissemination of academic research knowledge and of creative academic research work in the field of VET. Due to the fact that VET is an interlinking academic research area the results should be transferable to social sciences and the humanities."</p>

Within this, peer review of research articles remains an essential part of the formal publication process, distinguishing it from virtually all other modes of communication. In the last several years, there has been an explosive wave of innovation in peer review research, platforms, discussions, tools, and services. This is largely coupled with the ongoing and parallel evolution of scholarly communication as it adapts to rapidly changing environments, within what is widely considered as the ‘open research’ or ‘open science’ movement. Here, we summarise the current ebb and flow around changes to peer review and consider its role in a modern digital research and communications infrastructure and suggest why uptake of new models of peer review appears to have been so low compared to what is often viewed as the ‘traditional’ method of peer review. Finally, we offer some insight into the potential futures of scholarly peer review and consider what impacts this might have on the broader scholarly research ecosystem. In particular, we focus on the key traits of certification and reputation, moderation and quality control, and engagement incentives, and discuss how these interact with socio-technical aspects of peer review and academic culture."</p>
