Standards Developments in Scholarly Publishing
Abstract
Publication is an essential step in research and is the responsibility of all scientists. Scholarly publications should provide a comprehensive and detailed record of scientific discoveries. They affect not only the research community, but society at large. Scientists have a responsibility to ensure that their publications are complete, detailed, clear, honest, balanced, and avoid misleading, selective, or ambiguous statements. Journal editors are also responsible for ensuring the integrity of the research literature. Publishers are adapting their roles in response both to changing needs and to these new competing services that can include researchers, research institutes, universities. Aside from their traditional roles in supporting quality assurance and peer review, publishers participate in many initiatives and develop services, often in partnership with universities and other organisations, to support communication and develops standards. This chapter shows the importance of standards and presents some concrete examples of standards organizations and perpetual evolution.
