Abstract: This article consists of some introductory remarks and a list of online scholarly publishing resources, divided into sections, each with its own introduction. Working mainly from the websites of associations and organizations, it covers journal launching; editing and management; production, workflow, and technology innovation; metrics; marketing and discovery; social media; institutional repositories; business models; open access; copyright; ethics; training; career development and mentorship; journal publishing associations and societies; publications on scholarly publishing; and general publishing and editorial resources.
Keywords: Online resources; Scholarly publishing; Business models; Production; Discoverability
This article provides the results of an environmental scan of online resources for editors and publishers of scholarly journals that was conducted from March to June 2017. The author undertook this scan as a board member of the Canadian Association of Learned Journals (CALJ) in order to provide a list for the association’s website that is intended to support the association’s commitment to professional development and training for its members. A commitment to professional development is especially necessary in light of the current challenges faced by Canadian journals, including changing business models, advancing technology, limited resources, and mandates for open access (see CALJ’s [2017] proposal for a Journal Impact and Innovation Fund). The resources in this scan take the form of archived webinars, reports, publications, infographics, and conference presentation videos supplied by other associations and societies, as well as libraries, software companies, and commercial publishers, and can be usefully categorized as follows: launching new journals; editing and management; production, workflow, and technology innovation; metrics; marketing and discoverability; social media; institutional repositories; business models; open access; copyright; ethics; training; career development and mentorship; associations and societies; publications; and general publishing and editor resources. The scope is limited to English-language resources, and consequently, the majority of them are based in the U.S., the U.K., and Canada. The original list features over three hundred specific resources.
There are two main reasons why Scholarly and Research Communication(SRC) is publishing this list of scholarly publishing resources. In keeping with the value of published bibliographies, we believe that this list of publishing resources may be valuable for readers of SRCwho are unaware of the existence of the list on the website of the Canadian Association of Learned Journals (CALJ). In a sense, we see the publication of this list as serving our target market of professionals and scholars whose interests include understanding the changing nature of scholarly publishing. The second reason is to capture the initial version of this list, which CALJ intends to keep updated. Its original form is well worth perusing, thanks to the considerable number of areas it covers.
The approximate time of this writing is December 2017. If you see this article more than a year after this date and you are interested in updated content, please consult the CALJ website at https://www.calj-acrs.ca/. Hopefully, CALJ will have found the resources to ensure periodic updating.
This list is a start, and its existence provides a beginning of the realization of the richness of the field. Readers wishing to offer additional resources that they feel should be included should contact info@calj-acrs.ca with their suggestions and an annotation for each site they name.
What is a persistent identifier and which ones do I need for my journal?
What will XML do for me? How much will I have to invest?
How much should I invest in social media and where?
Librarians and researchers keep telling us we should be open access. Is that possible?
What should our policy be on repositories?
These are just some of the basic questions that I, as a Canadian publisher for many years, had to ask myself, knowing that the answers I chose could affect the survival of the very journals for which I had publishing responsibility.The last couple of decades have moved a once-stable, often slow-moving, scholarly publishing industry from paper to online and now, a wonderful potpourri of web-based social media tools and apps are emerging that are changing society’s information architecture. At the same time, our business models have gone from almost purely subscription-based to gold and green open access and a number of hybrids. Libraries and some funders are now facilitating the publishing of journals and certainly trying to set policies for journals to follow. Publishers are disassembling and repackaging journal content for different digital markets. The roles of editors and publishers, and the required expertise in technologies, production, marketing, sales, and communication, have changed, and certainly expanded in breadth.
For small and independent publishers, the mainstay of the Canadian scholarly publishing community, this tsunami of change has not been easy and has challenged the future of many journals. It is vital for the survival of independent Canadian scholarly journals that the members of our community have access to resources that will provide them with timely information, advice, and recommendations on all that is changing in our industry.
The Canadian Association of Learned Journals (2015) mission includes an aim:
to represent, develop and support the academic community of Canadian learned journals in disseminating original research and scholarly information, and to promote intellectual culture in Canada and internationally.
As a part of this task, CALJ has undertaken to provide a web-based list of resources that is available to its members and others on the CALJ website. This is an extensive and comprehensive outline of resource links available on the web on the many topics and questions that we have in our industry. Most of these resources are available for free. A few may reside within reserved membership websites.
This material was assembled by Larissa Wodtke, research coordinator at the Centre for Research in Young People’s Texts and Cultures. The Canadian Association of Learned Journals very much appreciates her time and efforts in providing this resource to our members and others in the Canadian scholarly publishing community. It is CALJ’s intention to keep this list of resources updated to provide a continuing resource to its members.
In the process of compiling these resources, I found that the majority of themare provided by either large, nonprofit associations (e.g., the Society for Scholarly Publishing, National Information Standards Organization, UKSG, Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association, Library Publishing Coalition, Committee on Publication Ethics, Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers, American Library Association, International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers) or open source and commercial software and publishing services (e.g., Bepress, Scholastica, Allen Press, River Valley Technologies, Public Knowledge Project, PLoS, Editage, RightsDirect, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Proof-Reading-Service.com). In the case of the nonprofit associations and societies, these resources are connected to their mandates to provide professional development and training for their members. The software and publishing services appear to offer these resources as added value to their existing services, and sometimes as promotion for their services; for example, Bepress provides webinars specific to the use of its software. These organizations tend to keep their resources current while maintaining an archive of their past webinars, publications, and links; in several cases, there is cross-posting of links to the same resources. Resources that represent a collection or series of resources are set in bold font.
The Society for Scholarly Publishing, an American nonprofit organization, provides a number of resources for editors and publishers who are thinking of launching a new academic journal, including “Scholarly Publishing: Look Before You Leap” and “Competitive Strategies for Launching or Repositioning your Publication.” The first is a webinar by Adam Etkin, director of publishing at the Pace University Academy of Management; the second takes the form of a webinar presented by Mary Rose Muccie, the director of the Current Journals Program at ITHAKA/JSTOR, Diana Pesek, the journals manager at Penn State University Press, and Alice O’Donnell, the director of journals for the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Similarly, journal management software companies Scholastica and Allen Press host their own webinars on launching new journals: “Inside the Editor’s Office: Launching a Sustainable Open Access Journal” and “Uncharted Territory: Journal Start-Ups.” These webinars offer introductions to the current state of scholarly journal publishing and highlight the considerations to be made before launching or repositioning a journal, especially in terms of choosing a business model in an increasingly open access environment and using new production formats in response to rapidly advancing technologies and researchers’ needs. Moreover, these webinars present case studies of particular journals and explain their specific processes.

Overall, the editing and management resources provide best practices for editing and publishing journals, and advice on editorial strategy and peer review. These guidelines serve as current overviews on how to edit and manage scholarly journals with integrity, accessibility, and professionalism, and they explain how to adhere to emerging community-based standards, such as those by the National Information Standards Organization, Digital Science’s Project CRediT, and the UKSG Transfer Code of Practice.

The resources that concern production, workflow, and technology are most focused on the shifts in production and workflow facilitated by technological innovations, and on monitoring and appraising these trends. Several webinars focus on elements of digital workflow, including the annotation of PDFs, the addition of multimedia materials to content, the management and conversion of data, the use of various online publishing platforms, and the introduction of extensible markup language (XML) into the production workflow to allow for more flexible outputs.
Furthermore, there are resources that explore the development and viability of the end products of new workflows, including mobile apps, and the development of interactive, dynamic content. Finally, there are resources that update publishers on new technological trends overall.

Workflow is the New Content: Expanding the Scope of Interaction between Publishers and Researchers
As scholarly journal publishing expands its online presence and global reach, alternate ways of measuring impact are becoming increasingly important. Many of the resources addressing metrics are focused on altmetrics, which include more non-traditional ways of measuring impact, such as social media hits and citations in mainstream media. These resources examine various stakeholders’ needs for metrics and impact, including publishers, researchers, and funders, as well as how to engage in altmetrics and interpret them effectively. They also discuss the need for citation standards for both regular journal content and attached datasets.

Research evaluation has become routine and often relies on metrics. But it is increasingly driven by data and not by expert judgement. As a result, the procedures that were designed to increase the quality of research are now threatening to damage the scientific system. To support researchers and managers, five experts, led by Diana Hicks, professor in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Institute of Technology, and Paul Wouters, director of the Center for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University, have proposed 10 principles for the measurement of research performance: the Leiden Manifesto for Research Metrics is published as a comment in Nature.

Following on metrics and impact, the challenges of effectively marketing scholarly journal content and making it easily discoverable to its audiences are featured in many of these resources. Many of these resources focus on how to use stakeholders’ feedback and user behaviour to improve marketing strategies; form reciprocal partnerships for better outreach; optimize journal content, metadata, and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for online searches and library integration; and determine the appropriate multi-channel dissemination for delivering relevant journal content to researchers.

Zen and the Art of Metadata Maintenance: Strategy and Tactics for Discovery and Sales
Linked to issues of marketing and discoverability, social media is becoming an important tool for increasing a journal’s discoverability and encouraging a dialogue between researchers. The resources on social media give advice on how to integrate this media, such as blogging, micro-blogging, and various social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Academia.edu), into a journal’s communication plans. Much like marketing resources, social media resources are concerned with knowing and researching a journal’s specific audience and needs, setting specific and concrete goals and objectives for communications, and evaluating their impact.
