Innovations Since July 2010 – all Pensoft journals published through an XML-based editorial worlkflow using the Pensoft Mark Up Tool (PMT) for semantic mark up

Tools for automated extraction and dissemination of published content based on TaxPub (extension of NLM DTD)

Tools for web crawiling and linking of published content to external resources (Pensoft Taxon Profile, PTP)

Data publishing workflows integrated with Dryad Data Repository and GBIF

The lessons learned

The open access is the only publishing model that allows true and unlimited possibility for innovative publishing!

Readers are in love with open access

The same readers, when becoming authors, are not that enthusiastic to pay for open access (in many cases)

Sociological barriers: the majority of authors are not willing to change their writing habits and are still not aware about the tremendous advantages of the Web 2.0 technologies

Most small publishers (and some bigger ones) do not understand the importance of semantic tagging or just cannot afford it

Cost efficiency – a dramatic gap between production costs and what authors are willing to pay

An automated, “press-a-button” submission of manuscripts, from Scratchpads and authors’ databases

An automated, “press-a-button” submission of data paper manuscripts, through XML, from the GBIF metadata catalogue – data publishing

Launching of an open-access, “next generation”, Biodiversity Data Journal

A new online collaborative editorial platform based on upfront markup

New article-level metrics; Pensoft Reference Tool (PRT) for handling literature references

The Future (plans for 2012)

Development and implementation of any kind of alternative article-level and journal-level metrics

Citation tracking mechanisms and citation data exchange with other platforms

Atomized content dissemination/exchange/mashups

Markup services

Collaboration is needed in:

BHL should become a true archive of both historical and recently published biodiversity literature

CiteBank was launched as a repository for bibliographic metadata linked to an online version of an article – really important mission to pursue!

DREAM: Close collaboration between CiteBank, Mendeley, ViBRANT’s Bibliography of Life, libraries and publishers for article-level metadata exchange, de-duplication, and reconciliation

On the BHL’s mission and future
