The April 2019 issue of Learned Publishing is now online.
Following on from the wealth of myth-busting articles in the January issue, the April issue takes a look at issues ranging from authors and authorship, through data citation, problems with indexes and indexing, via Korean and Chinese publications and checking how useful Google Scholar data is for evaluating journals, on to annotation technology and what it can offer for developing interactive articles. The issue opens with an editorial on journal development and how published research can - and should - inform what we do with journals, and closes with why the debate over Open Access is missing the point - the view from a funder.
Articles include:
* Päivi Atjonen discusses Peer review in the development of academic articles: Experiences of Finnish authors in the educational sciences
* Yuehong Zhang and colleagues reflect on the international impact of Chinese STM journals and why reliance on the Impact Factor is so dangerous
* David Nicholas and colleagues discuss Sci-Hub and ask if it is the ultimate disruptor?
* Heather Staines discusses examples of how Hypothes.is is being used to encourage open annotation
* Stuart Buck challenges the current open access discussions for focussing on the wrong problem and says that quality is more important than openness
