So, do we take authors seriously who, rather than submit to a journal, post in

their online repository? We do need to take this seriously. If we don’t work

harder for them, they will do it themselves and this is a serious threat. We

harm ourselves (engender hostility, encourage attempts to undermine us

among very competent people) when we are seen to try to squash the power

of the citizen publisher. We (society and publisher) need to work harder to

retain the status quo and justify our (long-held) position. In sum, journals will

not become online repositories!

Ultimately want research to have an impact – on future research and the

building of a corpus of knowledge ultimately to have Practical Outcomes:

Drugs, treatments, Policy Changes, Public Understanding, quality of life.

But first the research needs to be visible and people need to engage with it –

other researchers, policy makes practitioners, general public.

Going to talk about two elements of this impact funnel – shifts in the metrics

available to measure engagement and impact and then shifts in T&F’s

marketing to focus on increasing visibility and engagement – hopefully leading

to greater impact for the research published with us.

Example of detailed article level

The scores are calculated using a proprietary algorithm but a based on

combined of both the amount and type of mentions, so news articles are

counted differently to tweets.

Every author should be encouraged to promote and tweet their article, supply a

video abstract with article, for promotion via academic and research networks,

and public engagement via public and social media – e.g. Kudos project to be

extended to all journals in 2015

Thanks to our partnership with JournalMap, we’re at the forefront of geo-

semantic search – the ability to search for geographical locations that

research is about in journal articles across a map

• 3 E&A journals now indexed on JournalMap + marketing campaign

• Capturing research locations for articles on submission and including them

in article for XML so that they can be appropriately indexed by JM

• Looking at ways to integrate JournalMap onto TFO

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE - plan to add faceted search - the ability to

refine searches by facets like content type, discipline, pub. date – ease

discovery, drive usage. Looking to deliver early next year.

Federated search? – Other search options that we are looking into are for the

ability to search across our different content platforms. Each platform

remains independent, with bespoke features to suit the content in which it

supports, but with the added benefit for users of being able to search across all

platforms at once.

IIP - The Issues in Progress capability - flexibility in the way issues are displayed

21

In this, the first phase, we have:

• Daily alerts > Multiple open Issues at one time.

Before the end of the year Editors will be able to:

• Specify the order in which articles are displayed, whether chronological order (as default), page order or a specified order (which is captured in the Issue XML).

• Specify subject headings in an issue that articles can sit under.

South African Journal of Plant and Soil was one of our first trial candidates for

JournalMap. The editorial team also assisted by providing English translations

for the locations contained in the older Afrikaans articles in its archive.

The term Open Access was coined by the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) IN December 2001, which originated within the framework of an event of the Open Society Institute (OSI).

- Authors’ views on peer review

- Authors’ views on open access

- Authors’ views on re-use of work

- Authors’ views on publishing licenses

American Publishers Assn ½ life study about 2b released. Our data is

interesting and shows a lot of variation by subject, e.g., half lives in Philosophy

are far shorter than those in, e.g. materials science, perhaps because key

findings in philosophy are released in monograph form, and articles tend to be

more like short reports. Contributing these data to a British Academy ½ life

study, which is being funded by HEFCE – expecting report in early 2014

Anecdotally our data are similar to other publishers.

Copyright – updated last month, will continue to review as part of development

work.

Trends in research area – most viewed articles, top tens of the year, most

shared via social media: these will all continue via subject bulletins and other

marketing initiatives.

SEO and keywords – will cover in guides to authors early 2015.

Understanding the submission process, preparing a paper - revamping these

as part of Author Services web overhaul to make it more visual and easier to

browse for non-native English speakers.

Language Editing Service – early 2015 (TBC)

Promoting their work - continuing to highlight and push this.

Usage alerts - in development (Author Product Group).

Formatting articles – refreshing IFAs coupled with better linking between TFO

and Author Services (part of redevelopment project). Authors asking for clear

links to templates (and as many available as possible).
