The April issue of Learned Publishing is now published and we have some excellent articles looking at the promise (but possible let-down) of post-publication
review, and comparisons of other peer review developments, further updates on the work of independent editors and the work of the European Publishers Council on copyright issues across the EU: not to mention articles discussing readers, libraries and authors
(and of course, predatory publishers). We have a great article about the work of the CASRAI working group and the CRediT (contributor role taxonomy) schema that hopes to improve recognition and attribution of authors.
And another from Tenopir, King, Christian and Volentine reporting their on-going research into scholarly article seeking, reading and use (on-going since 1977!) - which fortunately for us reveals that articles are still core to the work of academics but there
are notable changes in behaviour that can be tracked across the past 35 years. And finally, for those publishers still dithering about inclusion of their material in discovery systems, the article by Graham Stone should dispel all doubts and get you signing
up.
With book reviews, an article on bibliometrics and an industry update about JournalGuide, there should be enough for a long Easter weekend read...
And remember the special issue scheduled for January 2016 on peer review - we are looking for original research, reviews, opinions and case studies, so please
get writing!
