This data encompassed 221 journals from the Proquest database Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), widely regarded as an authoritative database in the field of librarianship. From the Directory of Open Access Journals, we included 144 LIS journals. We also included 12 other journals not indexed in DOAJ or LISA, based on the researchers’ knowledge of existing OA library journals. The data is separated into several different sets representing the different indices and journals we searched. The first set includes journals from the database LISA. The following fields are in this dataset:
Journal: title of the journal
Publisher: title of the publishing company
Open Data Policy: lists whether an open data exists and what the policy is

In order to analyse specific features of data papers, we established a representative sample of data journals, based on lists from the European FOSTER Plus project , the German wiki forschungsdaten.org hosted by the University of Konstanz and two French research organizations.The complete list consists of 82 data journals, i.e. journals which publish data papers. They represent less than 0,5% of academic and scholarly journals. For each of these 82 data journals, we gathered information about the discipline, the global business model, the publisher, peer reviewing etc. The analysis is partly based on data from ProQuest’s Ulrichsweb database, enriched and completed by information available on the journals’ home pages.One part of the data journals are presented as “pure” data journals stricto sensu , i.e. journals which publish exclusively or mainly data papers. We identified 28 journals of this category (34%). For each journal, we assessed through direct search on the journals’ homepages (information about the journal, author’s guidelines etc.) the use of identifiers and metadata, the mode of selection and the business model, and we assessed different parameters of the data papers themselves, such as length, structure, linking etc.The results of this analysis are compared with other research journals (“mixed” data journals) which publish data papers along with regular research articles, in order to identify possible differences between both journal categories, on the level of data papers as well as on the level of the regular research papers. Moreover, the results are discussed against concepts of knowledge organization.
Database providing access to quality controlled Open Access Journals. For a journal to be included it should exercise quality control on submitted papers through an editor, editorial board and/or a peer-review system. It is not be limited to particular languages or subject areas. Offering free online access to high quality full text content, plus excellent search tools, the portal enables researchers to find, use and re-use a vast range of materials with ease. The content of DOAJ will be even more visible and disseminated through this portal. The aim of the Directory is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. As of April 2014, DOAJ has 9,709 journals, 5,624 journals searchable at article level, 133 Countries and 1,600,991 articles. The database may be browsed by title or subject, or searched through the interface to for journals or articles.

The Portal Project Teaching Database is a simplified version of the Portal Project Database designed for teaching. It provides a real world example of life-history, population, and ecological data, with sufficient complexity to teach many aspects of data analysis and management, but with many complexities removed to allow students to focus on the core ideas and skills being taught. The database is currently available in csv, json, and sqlite. This database is not designed for research as it intentionally removes some of the real-world complexities. The original database is published at Ecological Archives(http://esapubs.org/archive/ecol/E090/118/) and this version of the database should be used for research purposes. The Python code used for converting the original database to this teach version is included as 'create_portal_teach_dataset.py'. Suggested changes or additions to this dataset can be requested or contributed in the project GitHub repository(https://github.com/weecology/portal-teachingdb).

The file contains all publishers of journals listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
On August 1, 2017, 9,621 journals were listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Only 32 publishers published more than 20 of these journals and thus have a quantitatively significant influence on Open Access. PLOS can not be found among them, but still has influence, but more qualitative than quantitative.
These 32 publishers publish 2,950 journals, which are 31% of all journals listed in the DOAJ. At this date, the DOAJ reported 7,474 publishers, thus 0.43% of all DOAJ-listed publishers produced 31% of the journals.
Of these 2,950 journals, 1,641 (56%) are in the hand of publishers who already dominate the market in the subscription model: e.g. Elsevier, Springer Nature (including BioMed Central, Frontiers), Wiley, SAGE, De Gruyter, Taylor & Francis, OUP, Wolters Kluwer).
The data was gathered at August 1, 2017 using the Directory of Open Access Journals web interface. The total number of journals at this point of time was 9,621.

The dataset consists of the text content of the journals published between 1898 through to 1959 in the the collections AHiRA. Archivo Histórico de Revistas Argentinas (https://ahira.com.ar/) at the Instituto de Historia Argentina y Americana "Dr. Emilio Ravignani” (Buenos Aires) and Cultural Magazines of Latin America (CMoLA) (https://digital.iai.spk-berlin.de/viewer/collections/lateinamerikanische-kulturzeitschriften/) of the Ibero-American Institute (Berlin) . The former consists of 898 files and the latter 4698, each file representing a journal issue. The research studied these archives and collections to estimate the representation of women writers in literary databases by leveraging Named Entity Recognition (NER) to extract names and map them to resources like Wikidata, which provide details on gender and occupation. By doing so, we tracked the representation of women writers, comparing their presence with that of male writers. In addition, the analysis was enriched with information on the countries of residence and the languages in which these women wrote, allowing for an estimation of how many were featured in translation or cited as foreign authors. The data was further visualized as bipartite graphs, linking writers to journals and quantifying the frequency of their contributions or citations, with a particular focus on the gender disparity and its evolution over time. Lastly, we examined the occurrence of terms related to translation and versioning, estimating the role of literary translation across various corpora, archives, and collections, highlighting its significance in the dissemination of works by women writers.

The electronic linking of neuroscience information, including data embedded in the primary literature, would permit powerful queries and analyses driven by structured databases. This task would be facilitated by automated procedures that can identify biological concepts in journals. Here we apply an approach for automatically mapping formal identifiers of neuroanatomical regions to text found in journal abstracts, applying it to a large body of abstracts from the Journal of Comparative Neurology (JCN). The analyses yield over 100,000 brain region mentions, which we map to 8,225 brain region concepts in multiple organisms. Based on the analysis of a manually annotated corpus, we estimate mentions are mapped at 95% precision and 63% recall. Our results provide insights into the patterns of publication on brain regions and species of study in JCN but also point to important challenges in the standardization of neuroanatomical nomenclatures. We find that many terms in the formal terminologies never appear in a JCN abstract, and, conversely, many terms that authors use are not reflected in the terminologies. To improve the terminologies, we deposited 136 unrecognized brain regions into the Neuroscience Lexicon (NeuroLex). The training data, terminologies, normalizations, evaluations, and annotated journal abstracts are freely available at http://www.chibi.ubc.ca/WhiteText/.

This 3rd version contains a full backup of X Dong's bibliographic files entered in BiBTeX format; also includes an update of the three journal name database files. Each of the bibliographic files is a collection of references under a certain topic, but sometimes the references were gathered in a specific file just for convenience of writing a specific manuscript. One may combine all the bibliographic files (with about 4000 references) into one .bib file, but beware that sometimes there are duplications, which can lead to LaTeX to complain during compilation. To prevent that from happening again, one may go back to remove the duplicated entries. Like the previous versions, for journal articles, only the nicknames of the respective journals are used in all of the bibliographic files. This assumes the bibliographic files will be used along with one of the three journal name database files (always list the journal name database file first; see description of Version 1).

Poster presented at the Research Data Alliance 5th Plenary Meeting, March 2015. To best encourage data publishing by scientific researchers, the burden of submission needs to be low. Data archiving at the time of and in conjunction with article publication can be an effective means, by catching authors when they’re motivated and tying data submission into an already-familiar publication process. Here we share Dryad’s experiences with integrating journals using various workflows.
The Journal of Biological Databases and Curation is a database that provides information on database development. This repository gives guidance on methods of selecting, preserving and maintaining vast amounts of biological data in order to enable effective use of these archives at present and in the future. Direction is provided on how to apply the information found in this journal when new research projects are planned. Guidance is also given on organizing research results in an accessible format, for instance as a database, to make it available to other scientists for use in their research and to enable computational analysis of such results. New ideas on database development and user tutorials for database tools are welcomed. Keyword and Advanced search options are available.

These indicators monitor scientific outcomes in the form of publications along innovation areas. The insights contained in them may help the understanding of societal challenges, contribute to the emergence of future technological or social innovations, or help to improve enabling conditions. We present the number of scientific peer-reviewed publications in the Web of Science database. Publications represent research activity in specific countries, which in turn makes entrepreneurial activities and investment more likely. Similar publication and investment patterns hint at the presence of learning networks between firms and universities. As we only track English-language publications in Web of Science indexed journals, some increases in publications may be due to the increased pressure to publish in such journals rather than to an actual increase in the productivity of a country’s researchers in the respective field. Countries that put a higher emphasis on publications in their native language may underperform according to these metrics. English-speaking countries or those where English is more dominant are likely to perform better with this metric. Be aware that due to delayed data entries in the original database the values for the last couple of years might be underestimated and could possibly increase over the next years. Have this in mind when working with data from recent years.

Abstract of the research:
Purpose: this study aims to investigate the representation and distribution of Social Science and Humanities (SSH) journals within the OpenCitations Meta database, with a particular emphasis on their Open Access (OA) status, as well as their spread across different disciplines and countries. The underlying premise is that open infrastructures play a pivotal role in promoting transparency, reproducibility, and trust in scientific research. Study Design and Methodology: the study is grounded on the premise that open infrastructures are crucial for ensuring transparency, reproducibility, and fostering trust in scientific research. The research methodology involved the use of secondary data sources, namely the OpenCitations Meta database, the ERIH PLUS bibliographic index, and the DOAJ index. A custom research software was developed in Python to facilitate the processing and analysis of the data. Findings: the results reveal that 78.1% of SSH journals listed in the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH-PLUS) are included in the OpenCitations Meta database. The discipline of Psychology has the highest number of publications. The United States and the United Kingdom are the leading contributors in terms of the number of publications. However, the study also uncovers that only 38% of the SSH journals in the OpenCitations Meta database are OA. Originality: this research adds to the existing body of knowledge by providing insights into the representation of SSH in open bibliographic databases and the role of open access in this domain. The study highlights the necessity for advocating OA practices within SSH and the significance of open data for bibliometric studies. It further encourages additional research into the impact of OA on various facets of citation patterns and the factors leading to disparity across disciplinary representation.

This data encompassed 221 journals from the Proquest database Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA), widely regarded as an authoritative database in the field of librarianship. From the Directory of Open Access Journals, we included 144 LIS journals. We also included 12 other journals not indexed in DOAJ or LISA, based on the researchers’ knowledge of existing OA library journals. The data is separated into several different sets representing the different indices and journals we searched. The first set includes journals from the database LISA. The following fields are in this dataset:
Journal: title of the journal
Publisher: title of the publishing company
Open Data Policy: lists whether an open data exists and what the policy is
