And then, they were 8 !

We are very excited to welcome Kim Welford and Graeme Eagles to our Executive Editors team 🙌

We will continue recruiting editors over the coming months, so if you'd like to join the team apply via https://tektonika.online (the form is pinned to the right-hand sidebar)

Who's afraid of open infrastructures?

Joanna Ball (#DOAJ Managing Director), Yvonne Campfens (OA Switchboard), and Tasha Mellins-Cohen underline the importance of non-profit infrastructure and standards bodies.

New data shows that #DOAJ provides vital visibility to ~10,000 journals not indexed in Web of Science or Scopus, and plays an important role in enabling discovery of #African research.

End of July, #Tektonika #DOAJ has published 3 new articles

3️⃣ van der Linden and van Hinsbergen present the Mid-Ocean Ridge Generator (MORGen) algorithm, based on pyGPlates. MORGen reduces the laborious task by automating the drawing of mid-ocean ridge geometries…

Publishing and reading in #DOAJ is free thanks to voluntary work by managing group, editors, reviewers, technical team, and support of host Universities.

End of July, #Tektonika #DOAJ has published 3 new articles

2️⃣ Alghuraybi et al. use borehole and 3D seismic reflection data to quantify the lateral propagation and displacement accumulation rates for syn-kinematic faults. They argue that these faults provide a unique snapshot of the earliest stage of fault growth.

1️⃣ Magee et al. use 3D reflection seismology to reach a better understanding of the 3D structure of dyke-induced faults and their relationship to the geometry and emplacement dynamics of their causal dykes.

Our updated statistics in the attached diagram.

To date, #Tektonika has published 12 papers and 5 more are at the copy-editing stage.

We opened end of May 2022. 49 manuscripts submitted since June 2022, and the rate is rising after a low in Feb-April. 7 submissions in August until now.

Another strength of #Tektonika we are proud of is the comprehensive review report published alongside each article.

#openscience #opendata #DOAJ

In Tektonika's first editorial we have included this diagram with the timeline from submission to publication for our twenty first manuscripts. It shows how many days each step of the evaluation process took (data at the date of 24 May 2023).

Such data and analyses are rarely provided by academic journals, probably because their review process is often opaque and undisclosed.

Have you downloaded #Tektonika's Volume 1 yet?

No?!

#OpenScience #DOAJ #Academicpublishing

On 24 July we have issued our first volume. It includes a nice editorial piece outlining the journal's life story and our future plans and hopes (for Tektonika #DOAJ and #openscience).

Give it a read! > https://tektonika.online/index.php/home/article/view/56

@johannes_lehmann
Agreed on societies.

The average across all fields is that only ≈ 30% of OA journals charge #APCs.
https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/109344076065105780

If you ignore brand (not the same as ignoring quality) and search @DOAJ for journals in your field, you'll find the no-APC (#DiamondOA) journals.

But note that even #DOAJ is incomplete.

At TEKTONIKA #DOAJ we aim to expand our editorial board, including colleagues from under-represented continents, countries and groups. For example applications from Africa would be particularly appreciated. Ditto for manuscript submission.

Launch of New #OpenAccess Toolkit to Empower Scholarly Publishers and Researchers

https://oaspa.org/launch-of-new-open-access-toolkit/

#OASPA #DOAJ #publishing #scholcomm

Thanks to the #DOAJ and #OASPA for their new #OpenAccess #Journals Toolkit.
https://www.oajournals-toolkit.org/

It should help launch new #OA journals and fine-tune old ones. It covers topics "such as journal creation, costs, staffing, policy development, through to indexing and key technical aspects."

The Open Access Journals Toolkit is now live!

Led by #DOAJ and OASPA, the #toolkit is a free online resource supporting the development and management of #OpenAccess #journals of all shapes and sizes.
