Big and open linked data analytics ecosystem: Theoretical background and essential elements

Big and open linked data are often mentioned together because storing, processing, and publishing large amounts of these data play an increasingly important role in today's society. However, although this topic is described from the political, economic, and social points of view, a technical dimension, which is represented by big data analytics, is insufficient. The aim of this review article was to provide a theoretical background of big and open linked data analytics ecosystem and its essential elements. First, the key terms were introduced including related dimensions. Then, the key lifecycle phases were defined and involved stakeholders were identified. Finally, a conceptual framework was proposed. In contrast to previous research, the new ecosystem is formed by interactions of stakeholders in the following dimensions and their sub-dimensions: transparency, engagement, legal, technical, social, and economic. These relationships are characterized by the most important requisites and public policy choices affecting the data analytics ecosystem together with the key phases and activities of the data analytics lifecycle. The findings should contribute to relevant initiatives, strategies, and policies and their effective implementation.     

基于供需融合理念打造学术期刊转型升级的全媒体经营业态

经营业态总体上反映一个产业的经营结构、供需关系、运营方式和发展战略,其合理性、科学性决定着产业市场运行模式的成败。近20年来我国学术期刊已逐步形成以纸质版、网络与电子版多元发布的全媒体出版产品结构,但这同一内容的2种版本却一直分别由不同的供应链各自定价发行,人为地将一个市场裂解为2个市场,造成了价格脱离价值、市场相互抵消、边际成本上涨、营销模式混乱的状态,严重削弱了期刊的市场主体地位,扭曲了产业生态,牵制了期刊和图书馆等信息服务机构的数字化转型升级与高质量发展。为根本上破解这一制约产业发展的全局性难题,应构建供需合作共赢的“刊-网-馆”融合运营模式,大幅度降低产业运行消耗,打造学术期刊数字版云出版、传播和服务与纸质版集约化生产发行和馆配相结合的全媒体经营业态。     

用特色栏目打造高校学报的鲜明个性——以《西安科技大学学报》为例

通过分析和研究《西安科技大学学报》创办特色栏目的条件及实践,探讨用特色栏目凸显高校学报的鲜明特征。研究认为:学科优势是特色栏目发展的决定性条件,专家优势是特色栏目发展的核心,稳定的作者群是特色栏目发展的必备条件。同时,高校学报依靠高校的学术优势和区位优势,确立特色栏目、吸纳优质稿件、吸引校外优质作者群,用特色栏目打造期刊的鲜明个性。高校学报特色栏目的发展模式,不仅可以为同类学报的特色发展提供经验,还可以为不同类型的学术期刊提供借鉴。     

科技期刊编辑的修养与提高

中国科技期刊“走出去”路径探析——以航空航天科技期刊为例

深化改革培育世界一流科技期刊是当前的紧迫任务,要求科技期刊“走出去”,在世界舞台与国际科技期刊同台竞争。为探索中国科技期刊“走出去”路径,以航空航天科技期刊为例,介绍当前该类期刊“走出去”现状,指出存在的问题,并分别从中英文刊的不同角度出发,阐述航空航天学术期刊“走出去”的可行路径,同时辅以案例分析,验证所提路径的有效性。强调“走出去”需要强化保护版权意识。这为探讨中国科技期刊如何“走出去”提供有益参考。     

“互联网+”时代医学期刊同行评审问题探析及质量控制

同行评审作为国际上医学期刊惯用的一种审稿机制,是保障医学期刊质量的关键环节。在“互联网+”时代,如何巧妙地借助互联网的力量,来提高医学期刊同行评审质量,值得深思。笔者在分析医学期刊同行评审问题的基础上,提出了利用互联网信息优势对评审者进行信息审查和身份识别,建立同行评审评价体系和同行评审专家数据库动态化管理机制,并创新同行评审方式等质量控制方法,以期提高医学期刊的同行评审质量,促进医学期刊的可持续发展。     

提高稿件初审效率和质量的新方法——以《仿生工程学报》实践为例

为了在保证期刊的学术质量的基础上,提高稿件初审的效率,本文结合编辑部的工作实际,提出了一种从稿件最后的结论开始看起,反向追溯作者的研究过程,以提问的方式一路质疑到引言部分的初审方法。实践结果表明通过这种方式对文章进行梳理,可以快速地对文章的科学性和逻辑性做出判断,从而高效地完成初审工作,并有助于给出明确的让作者信服的初审意见。此外,还指出了几点初审中应注意的问题。     

怎样著录西文文献责任者的机关团体名称?

新媒体时代为科技期刊的出版带来了新的机遇和挑战。通过对传统科技期刊出版流程的研究发现,在编辑、校对流程中普遍存在“数字化断层”现象。该现象导致了稿件库存现象严重以及数字出版周期过长、效率过低、质量不高。新媒体时代,期刊论文只有在数字出版后才能被有效传播、检索、发现和有效引用。解决期刊出版的“数字化断层”问题,可以有效缩短发表周期,最终提升期刊的整体影响力。最后针对优化编辑流程、专设网络编辑、重视优先数字出版、共享出版平台等方面提出一些应对措施。作者自主开发了数字出版加工平台,可在高校期刊共享使用。     

Behavioral Intention to Adopt Digital Library by the Undergraduates

The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect undergraduates' behavioral intention to use digital library among the private universities in Malaysia. The target respondents are undergraduates from Malaysian private universities. Questionnaires were distributed among 500 undergraduates through either online or face-to-face method. Reliability test, normality test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis, and Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) were carried out for data analysis. Performance expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habit, and information quality had a positive and significant association with behavioral intention to adopt a digital library except for effort expectancy. This research successfully reinforced that the inspiration to ameliorate Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT 2) by synthesis of Information Systems Success Model (ISSM). This proposed framework with a combination of ISSM and UTAUT 2 has enhanced the fitness of UTAUT 2. Universities that have yet to implement digital library can comprehend undergraduates' needs better by considering all the significant factors to develop a digital library. The universities with the digital library may also notice the important features of the existing digital library that should be maintained and upgraded constantly so that they can fulfil undergraduates' requirements.
