“…Preprints apparently add to the existing complexities in scholarly publishing; however, its plethora of models, scale, and form give rise to opportunities to embrace it on one hand and on the other hand may take time for mainstreaming in scholarly publishing [81][82][83][84][85]. Nonetheless, what constitutes them and whether they will stand out in the constructs of scholarly communication remains to be seen in the wake of diverse open data, open access-publishing models, open infrastructures, and web 3.0 technologies [86]. These factors are central for scholarly communication to enrich and strengthen scholarly web with search engines, indexing systems, semantic technologies, and social software analytics to maximize the research impact and build reputation systems through open infrastructures and metrics for authors and institutions.…”

Digital scholarship and electronic publishing within scholarly communities change when metrics and open infrastructures take center stage for measuring research impact. In scholarly communication, the growth of preprint repositories as a new model of scholarly publishing over the last three decades has been one of the major developments. As it unfolds, the landscape of scholarly communication is transitioning—with much being privatized as it is made open—and turning towards alternative metrics, such as social media attention, author-level, and article-level metrics. Moreover, the granularity of evaluating research impact through new metrics and social media changes the objective standards of evaluating research performance. Using preprint repositories as a case study, this article situates them in a scholarly web, examining their salient features, benefits, and futures. Moves towards scholarly web development and publishing on the semantic and social web with open infrastructures, citations, and alternative metrics—how preprints advance building the web as data—is discussed. We determine that this will viably demonstrate new metrics and, by enhancing research publishing tools in the scholarly commons, facilitate various communities of practice. However, for preprint repositories to be sustainable, scholarly communities and funding agencies should support continued investment in open knowledge, alternative metrics development, and open infrastructures in scholarly publishing.

“…From the Industrial Age into the Information Age, wider accessibility has driven Library 2.0 toward the borderless library of Library 3.0, which exists independent of physical location (Peltier-Davis, 2009;Casey, 2006). Since 2006, Library 3.0 has been encouraged by the technological adoption of artificial intelligence, evident in the application of the semantic web, cloud computing and mobile devices, to offer information services based on users' implicit rather than explicit needs (Balaji et al, 2018;Kwanya et al, 2013). Therefore, both the role and function of librarians have to be calibrated to the specific information needs of users; for instance, librarians should have the ability to annotate and compare books and other information sources from a variety of perspectives instead of just to organize the library collections and resources from the linear perspective of supply and demand.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to identify technological innovation in libraries and further examine the knowledge source and their effects during the technology life cycle (TLC).Design/methodology/approachThis paper discusses the technological innovation taking place in libraries. Patent citation analysis was used to capture the trend of technological innovation associated with libraries.FindingsThe findings are as follows: (1) library technologies are now in the ascent phase of their life cycles; (2) private companies from the United States, Germany, France, Japan and the United Kingdom are the top-five owners of intellectual property rights associated with library technology and (3) patent data along with knowledge and technology indicators can be interpreted in the light of library development. The knowledge source with the highest degree of scientific and technological orientation was identified as basic material chemistry. The major technological categories that have received the greatest knowledge effect from library-associated technological innovation are chemistry, electrical engineering, instruments, mechanical engineering, with other fields (civil engineering and furniture, games) being subject to less effect.Research limitations/implicationsThere are two research limitations in this study. First, the results use single informants, patents retrieved from United States Patent and Trademark Office, as the source of data. Second, this study uses patent citation measures for exploring the knowledge source and effect of technological innovation, these measures are only subjective for those new invention highly based technological advances. This study concludes that technological innovation for libraries will be characterized by an increasing role for science-intensive and interdisciplinary areas. This study also suggests that organizational learning facilitates innovation. Therefore, a library hoping to co-evolve with dynamic environment through technological innovation should improve its organizational learning processes.Practical implicationsTheories of technology-push and demand-pull were examined in relation to technological innovation taking place in libraries. The TLC analysis indicated that library technology is mainly in the ascent stage, suggesting that libraries have not achieved the strongest technological transformation. The findings suggest that the importance of demand-pull and technology-push vary over the TLC of libraries.Social implicationsTo survive in a dynamic environment library must be able to cope with increasing complexity and high-speed technological change. It is pivotal to integrate the views of users (as customers), software houses or design companies (as suppliers) as well as other libraries (as communities) into the sustainable development strategy of a library. In these contexts, libraries with the capacity to innovate will be able to respond to new demands faster and to invent and provide new services better than noninnovative libraries.Originality/valueAnalysis based on the technological innovation perspective to identify the future development of libraries is still lacking. This paper seeks to identify the technological innovation employed in libraries to accommodate the 21st century model of information-seeking behavior. This study identifies a variety of factors that have influenced the transformation of library services, and these include technology developments and new demands from library users. To illustrate the driving forces of technology-push in libraries, this paper examines holistic-patented technologies invented for libraries.

“…Por tanto, este trabajo supone un acercamiento de los fondos de las hemerotecas/ bibliotecas a la Web Semántica. Esta relación resulta esencial para organizar las bibliotecas, y sus recursos, como una red de datos (Balaji, et al, 2018) y es producto del proceso de evolución, acorde con la aparición de nuevos paradigmas, tendencias e influencias de orden tecnológico.…”

Construcción de una red de ontologías sobre eventos meteorológicos a partir de periódicos históricos

Resumen En la actualidad, pocos niegan el valor del contenido del periódico para comprender cuestiones relacionadas con la política, cultura y sociedad. De esta manera, la digitalización de los archivos de periódicos ha permitido rescatar artículos históricos y culturales relevantes. Sin embargo, aún no se ha sacado a la luz una infinidad de “datos menores” que se encuentran ocultos en estos periódicos. En este artículo se afrontan los desafíos para acceder y tratar los fondos de las hemerotecas nacionales de Colombia, Ecuador, México y Uruguay, que recogen noticias sobre eventos meteorológicos entre los siglos XIX-XX. Sobre estos periódicos se conforma un corpus de noticias que mediante lecturas técnicas y la aplicación de un proceso de bibliominería, utilizando diversas herramientas, permite iniciar la construcción de una red de ontologías. Esta red se compone de diferentes módulos (técnico, general y noticias), que son construidos utilizando diferentes enfoques (top-down y bottom-up) y metodologías (Methontology y NeOn), con el fin de proveer un entendimiento común y compartido de los eventos meteorológicos históricos en Latinoamérica. Por tanto, este trabajo supone un acercamiento de los fondos de las hemerotecas/bibliotecas a la Web Semántica.
