Por que se fala tanto de Open Acess?
• Como as revistas open access sobrevivem?
• Caso de PLOS ONE:
• Open acess
• Pouco se preocupa com o índice de impacto!!!
• A importância está na coerência científica.
• Ou seja, uma revista idealista!!!! Certo!
Citation for PloS ONE: it is going down...
Is it really important?
PloS ONE published in 2012: 23447 articles!!!
At a price of US$ 1300.00/article....
How much does that get?
The case of Genetics of Molecular Research
in Brazil!!!! 487 articles published (US$ 960.00/publication)
SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATION IS BUSYNESS!!!!!
E os casos de plagiarismo.
Como enfrentar????
Tivemos um caso que um manuscrito que
Suspeitamos:
TURNITIN! Plagiarism assay!
O Tal do manuscrito tinha 60% de plágio!!!!
