#OpenScienceEPFLbib
Single-blind peer review: authors are unaware of who reviewed their paper, but reviewers are aware of the authors’ identity. This is probably the most widely used method of reviewing and is, by far, the most common type. + Anonymity of reviewer allows them to be honest and open without fear of criticism from the authors + Knowing the identity (and affiliation) of the author allows them to use prior knowledge to assist the article assessment - Personality Influences: Reviewers who know authors with a dazzling record may be over- impressed by their work and not scrutinize the article carefully - Possible discrimination based on sexism and regionalism: Reviewers may be biased
against certain individuals, or overly suspicious of research emerging from some regions
Double-blind peer review: both the author and peer reviewers are not aware of each other’s identity. + This method ensures fairness of judgement, without bias towards certain authors or regions of the world + Confidentiality of both author and reviewer may provide some protection against criticism for both the authors and reviewers - This method is not foolproof as it may be easy for reviewers to discover the identities of the authors (either because of the area of research, the references or the writing style) It may be argued that knowing the author’s identity and affiliation will help the reviewer to make an informed judgement of the article – and not knowing this may disadvantage the review
Open peer review: identities of both author and reviewers are known. Also, this system allows the peer reviewer comments as well as authors’ responses to be published along with the final manuscript. + Open peer-review, and the transparency it brings to the process, encourages accountability, encourages civility, and generally improves the quality of the review (and ultimately the article) + Since an open review system may report the reviewers’ names next to the accepted, published article, it will persuade reviewers to do a thorough job - Some reviewers might be concerned about the consequences of being identified as the source of a negative review, and so may refuse to review for a journal using an open system Reviewers might be reluctant to criticize the work of more senior researchers on whom they may depend for career advancement. This may be a particular problem in smaller research communities, and more prevalent in some regions of the world than others Post-publication peer review: a relatively new approach adopted by some open access publications in an attempt to overcome the limitations of traditional forms of peer review. As the name suggest, in this type of review, reviewers evaluate a manuscript after it has been published on an open access platform. Here, the identities of author and reviewer are known (published) and so is the peer review evaluation of the manuscript. This system allows reviewers to take credit for their reviews.

Green Open Access
Free for both readers and authors
Consists in filing a copy of an article (published in a traditional journal) into an institutional or disciplinary archive.
Gold Open Access
Free for readers and generally fee-paying (APC) for authors
Consists in publishing in a journal of which the entire content is freely accessible. The author publishes for free

Author will be asked to complete a “Journal Publishing Agreement”. “In order for Elsevier to publish and disseminate research articles, we need publishing rights. This is determined by a publishing agreement between the author and Elsevier. This agreement deals with the transfer or license of the copyright to Elsevier and authors retain significant rights to use and share their own published articles. Elsevier supports the need for authors to share, disseminate and maximize the impact of their research and these rights, in Elsevier proprietary journals* are defined below:”
Copyright
Publication contracts are drafted by publishers but are ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE
The copyright holder (originally the author) may grant permission or license anyone else to:

"Predatory open-access publishers are those that unprofessionally exploit the gold open-access model for their own profit. That is to say, they operate as scholarly vanity presses and publish articles in exchange for the author fee. They are characterized by various level of deception and lack of transparency in their operations. “ J. Beall

Spam from Research Media “The spam emails are cleverly written, and they strike a friendly tone. The spams do not mention the fees (as much as $3,000) that the company charges researchers to showcase their research in the magazine. A typical Research Media spam email begins like this: I was hoping to talk with you at some point next week. I came across your published paper – Placebo: Physician, Heal Thyself and I wanted to speak with you about the possibility of highlighting the broader scope of you [sic] work in our health and biology research report, International Innovation, we are particularly interested in focusing around research in the field of genetics. The spam email mischaracterizes the online comment as a “published paper.” Research Media’s emails pander to researchers, exploiting the need for their research to draw attention and have impact.”

Cyagen Biosciences proposes to researchers to cite its “animal model services” in their scientific publications. By doing so, they could earn a financial reward of $100 or more; the amount would be based on the Impact Factor (IF) of the journal in question
De : Joseph Li [joe.lim@edmletter2.ab-library.com] Objet : Could I contact you to discuss experiments with your recent research? Dear Dr XXX,
We obtained your contact information from your excellent papers, and would like to know if our company could serve you. Does your current work require the generation of custom monoclonal antibodies? If so, we would be glad to perform this tedious and time-consuming task on your behalf.
With our revolutionary techniques, within 4 months, by simply sending us the protein sequence, you will receive the tailor-made antibodies at only a fraction of current cost (e.g. 1100 Euro for 6 mAbs against 4 peptides of a protein).
We sincerely hope you to join nearly 2,000 scientists from all over the world, who are currently benefiting from our innovative and convenient services. For further information, you are most welcome to visit our website (just google our name!).
Thank you so much,

Research data
The definition of research data is not fixed or rigid: several definitions are possible based on specific fields, institutions, and organizations.
For the Organization for Economic Co-Opération and Development (OECD), research data are defined as factual recording (numbers, texts, images and sounds), which are used as principal sources for scientific research and which are often recognized by the scientific community as being necessary to validate research results.
One key element to take into consideration during research data
management are the legal, ethical and political aspects based on the sensitivity of the data.
