Introducing Claire RedheadMembership & Communications ManagerSlide11
ProcedureInitial review by Membership & Communications ManagerReview confirmed by Membership Committee (2 people).On occasion President involved in discussion.Full board notified of review for any additional comments.Slide12
CriteriaA credible editorial board listed with full names and affiliations.Appropriate licensing policy, clearly visible on website and individual articles (on at least one journal).Any fees should be stated clearly and posted where they can be easily found. If a journal/publisher applies no fees, this should also be stated on the website.Clearly defined peer review process. Slide13
A business address is listed.A complaints address is listed.Can you contact the editor directly?Information on the journal/publishing organization’s ownership structure is available.Slide14
What we also look forAny stray information or items that would confuse readers that this is an OA journal? (e.g. RightsLink left on).Are there any claims against this journal/publisher being made in various forums? Do these warrant consideration? What indexing or database inclusion does the publisher/journal list and can this be verified?Slide15
Does the publisher make claims that seem unrealistic (e.g. peer review in 2 days)? Are claims supported (e.g. published manuscripts include submission, acceptance and publication dates).Are articles available in XML as well as other formats? Lack of an XML file does not imply wrong-doing, but indicates lower quality as articles are not machine readable.Does the publisher have a preservation strategy? (e.g. are they a member of LOCKSS, CLOCKS, Portico, etc.?)Slide16
The journal(s) have a clean layout.There is an appropriate use of language on the website?If an individual is listed as Editor-in-Chief for more than one journal is this explained? Does it seem reasonable? Are the fields related?Slide17

Moving ForwardSlide22
BackgroundOA publishers lacked a voice in public
debates
about
scholarly
communications
and
Open
Access
Open
Access
had
become
an
established
part
of
the
publishing
landscape; it
was
time to
address
practical
issues
Need
to
develop
uniform standards and best
practices
Need
to bring
together
the
Open
Access
publishing
community
Need
to
share
information
and
work
collectively
OASPA
represents
both
professional
publishing
organizations
as
well
as
scholar
publishers
and
welcomes
other
organizations
whose
work
supports OA
publishing
.Slide23
