7(2), 34. https://doi.org/10.3390/publications7020034
The changing world of scholarly communication and the emerging
new wave of ‘Open Science’ or ‘Open Research’ has brought to light a
number of controversial and hotly debated topics. Evidence-based
rational debate is regularly drowned out by misinformed or exaggerated
rhetoric, which does not benefit the evolving system of scholarly
communication. This article aims to provide a baseline evidence
framework for ten of the most contested topics, in order to help frame
and move forward discussions, practices, and policies. We address issues
around preprints and scooping, the practice of copyright transfer, the
function of peer review, predatory publishers, and the legitimacy of
‘global’ databases. These arguments and data will be a powerful tool
against misinformation across wider academic research, policy and
practice, and will inform changes within the rapidly evolving scholarly
publishing system.
