Privacy Legislation

This is the second special section on applied ethics for AJIS. As was the case for the first special section on ethics, of the various submissions, only three have been accepted for publication. This is not an indication that little work is being done in relation to cybersecurity ethics, but rather a reflection of the difficulty of getting published in a high quality journal. A great deal of research is being done in the area of ethics as regards cybersecurity, particularly in Europe as a result of the recent toughening of its privacy legislation and the implications that has for all manner of ethics and technology, from blockchain, to wearable robots and through to cybersecurity. An overview of those three articles follows, after which the guest editor backgrounds are described.

Ordered Response Model

AbstractMembership of the Southern Agricultural Economics Association (SAEA) was polled to ascertain the strength of support for changing the name of the Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics (SJAE) to eliminate the regional connotation. The general view was that a name change is unwarranted. The overall impression of our profession is that the SJAE is a high quality journal and that the name is not the crucial factor in promulgating this image but rather the continued striving for excellence. A number of profiles were developed to show that the ordered-response model may be used in predicting probabilities for those who would or would not likely favor a name change.

Transition Models

Watch the VIDEO.This presentation is aiming to discuss the effects of conversion of a journal to OA and suggests that this is likely to cause a loss of authorship of the journal. Further, we conclude that transitioning to OA via hybrid models is a more sustainable approach than flipping all journals to OA at once.As an example we use RSC Advances – a high quality journal in multidisciplinary chemistry published by RSC.Since launch in 2012, RSC Advances has achieved rapid growth and worldwide acceptance. In 2016 we converted RSC Advances to OA to:• give researchers free access to a broad scope of quality work• make the research we publish more visible• positively influence the future of OA publishing• demonstrate that OA publishing can be both affordable, and sustainableAn anticipated result of flipping to open access is the loss of authorship and submissions to competing journals. In fact, in 2017 just over 6600 articles were published in RSC Advances – less than a half of the publishing output in 2016.  The loss of authorship and a risk of authors choosing to publish in a competing journal is the reason why RSC cannot go full OA (all journals) yet.This does not mean that RSC suspended the support of OA. We continue introducing new OA journals like Nanoscale Advances, and new OA transition models like Read & Publish, which allows authors to access all content behind paywall and publish OA at no extra cost.

The Many

In my inaugural JRME editorial (Heid, 2009), I discussed how it takes a community to produce a high-quality journal. Now, 954 manuscripts and almost 4 years later, it has become even clearer to me that the production of a preeminent journal such as JRME requires the highest quality scholarly and editorial work and that the caliber of that work depends on the many individuals who contribute to the effort.

Citation Advantage

ABSTRACTThe digital revolution has made it easier for political scientists to share and access high-quality research online. However, many articles are stored in proprietary databases that some institutions cannot afford. High-quality, peer-reviewed, top-tier journal articles that have been made open access (OA) (i.e., freely available online) theoretically should be accessed and cited more easily than articles of similar quality that are available only to paying customers. Research into the efficacy of OA publishing thus far has focused mainly on the natural sciences, and the results have been mixed. Because OA has not been as widely adopted in the social sciences, disciplines such as political science have received little attention in the OA research. In this article, we seek to determine the efficacy of OA in political science. Our primary hypothesis is that OA articles will be cited at higher rates than articles that are toll access (TA), which means available only to paying customers. We test this hypothesis by analyzing the mean citation rates of OA and TA articles from eight top-ranked political science journals. We find that OA publication results in a clear citation advantage in political science publishing.

Publication Quality

Approximately two million scientific research articles are published in journals worldwide each year (Altbach & De Wit, 2018). As a result, identifying relevant and high-quality journal articles can be an overwhelming task. journal impact factors are one metric for assessing the quality of research journals and articles. To help you become a more informed research consumer, this article will explore some common questions about journal impact factors. We begin with an explanation of Journal impact factors and their origins, followed by some critiques of journal impact factors, alternative ways of assessing publication quality, and the applications of this information to your work in psychology.
