“…They need to update and make more attractive their webpage and social media accounts. A strong social media presence is recorded as growing in importance in the publishing industry [40].

In the context of the 2020 public health crisis that discourages exchanges of physical objects in society, university-led publishing needed to rethink its operations. Worldwide the opening of quality scholarly content proved to be a solution. University presses reacted rapidly and offered books according to the open access model. The present research aimed to map the editorial landscape of Romanian university presses, to identify the main features displayed online by the university presses parented by public universities and to highlight the readiness of these players to further open access academic books, especially in the time of the COVID-19 crisis. The quantitative approach investigated the availability of e-books in the university presses’ portfolios, including the alignment to the open access scholarship movement, the use of social media accounts to promote the presses and the response of the presses to the challenges of the health crisis. Out of the 46 active university presses, only six had open book titles in their portfolios and only one genuinely responded actively to the challenges posed by the need for electronic formats in 2020. Unless Romanian university presses modernize and restructure their modus operandi, they can prove irrelevant in the post-crisis period.

Abstract-Researchers put in tremendous amount of time and effort in order to crawl the information from online social networks. With the variety and the vast amount of information shared on online social networks today, different crawlers have been designed to capture several types of information. We have developed a novel crawler called SINCE. This crawler differs significantly from other existing crawlers in terms of efficiency and crawling depth. We are getting all interactions related to every single post. In addition, are we able to understand interaction dynamics, enabling support for making informed decisions on what content to re-crawl in order to get the most recent snapshot of interactions. Finally we evaluate our crawler against other existing crawlers in terms of completeness and efficiency. Over the last years we have crawled public communities on Facebook, resulting in over 500 million unique Facebook users, 50 million posts, 500 million comments and over 6 billion likes.

Abstract. Online Social Networks (OSNs) have changed the way people use the internet. Over the past few years these platforms have helped societies to organize riots and revolutions such as the Arab Spring or the Occupying Movements. One key fact in particular is how such events and organizations spread through out the world with social interactions, though, not much research has been focused on how to efficiently access such data and furthermore, make it available to researchers. While everyone in the field of OSN research are using tools to crawl this type of networks our approach differs significantly from the other tools out there since we are getting all interactions related to every single post. In this paper we show means of developing an efficient crawler that is able to capture all social interactions on public communities on OSNs such as Facebook.
