Facets of trust: describing peer review procedure of open access books with PRISM

About

OPERAS is the European Research Infrastructure for the development of open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities (SSH). Its mission is to coordinate and federate resources in Europe to efficiently address the scholarly communication needs of European researchers in the field of SSH.

The peer review information service for monographs (PRISM) gives publishers the opportunity to display information about their peer review procedures in a standardised way as part of the book’s metadata in the directory of open access books. PRISM contributes to building trust in open access book publishing by improving transparency around the quality assurance process.

During the session, we will discuss the following:

• What is the usefulness of PRISM elevating the conversation to the “why does the service exist?”
• Talk about the problems that the service tackles
• What does it mean for the different users?

Who should attend

• Research services librarians
• Scholarly comms librarians
• Researchers
• Professionals who support research and open access/open research/open science at their organisation
• Publishers
