Summary: The study aimed to examine the awareness of predatory journals and open access publishing among orthopaedic and trauma surgeons. Results showed that a significant proportion of participants were aware of predatory journals, but less so about the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as a register for non-predatory open access journals. Awareness of predatory journals was influenced by factors such as professional level and publication experience as corresponding authors or first/last authors.

Summary: The shift towards open access publishing has been slow, but the emergence of cooperative OA publishing models offers potential for more rapid and impactful change. By working together, societies and libraries can redirect traditional funds towards publishing support, fostering long-term stability and preventing free riding. Trust and willingness to experiment are crucial in these cooperative arrangements as organizations seek to educate and develop scalable OA publishing models.

Summary: The collaboration between research institutes and for-profit publishers for the publication of open access journals has a positive effect on the internationality and academic influence of most journals, regardless of the size of the publisher. Large publishers do not have an advantage over small publishers in publishing journals for research institutes. Monitoring the activities of large publishers, including acquisitions of small ones, is necessary as their presence in the open access journal market strengthens through collaborations with research institutes.

Summary: The international scholarly publishing community has been engaged in a divisive debate about the funding model for scientific research dissemination for the past twenty years, and recent commentaries suggest that the issue is far from resolved. This narrative review examines the deep divisions among stakeholders in the field, explores the systemic factors driving these divisions, and considers the future prospects of implementing the intended benefits of Open Access (OA) while mitigating its risks and costs. The review also highlights the inequities of OA for junior or unfunded researchers and scholars from resource-poor environments, who face discrimination and injustice due to Article Processing Charges.

Summary: This study investigated the experiences and motivations of language and linguistics academics who have published in potential predatory journals (PPJs). A total of 2,793 academics with publications in 63 language and linguistics PPJs were surveyed, and 213 respondents returned their responses. Qualitative data from 21 participants were also collected through interviews or email responses. The findings revealed that the majority of authors were from Asia, had a doctorate, chose PPJs for quick publication or meeting requirements, considered the PPJs reputable, and reported positive impacts on their studies or academic careers. The qualitative analysis identified five main themes: unawareness, publication pressure, low information literacy, social identity threat, and failure to publish in top-tier journals.

Summary: Open access publishing is gaining traction in India as a way to make scholarly knowledge more accessible. Despite government policies promoting open access, there are still challenges in implementing this approach. The proposed one nation, one subscription policy aims to address these challenges and improve accessibility to scholarly knowledge. The study looks into the open-access situation in India and globally to determine the best approach for implementing the policy.

Summary: The irregular demand in retail is characterized by SKUs with high intermittency and either high or low erraticness. Forecasting methods for irregular time series are necessary for proper inventory management. This study derives models for intermittent and lumpy time series and compares their performance to traditional forecasting methods for irregular demand in retailing.

Summary: This paper proposes a customized optimization approach for the long-term audit staff scheduling problem of aviation approved training organizations in Brazil. By formulating the problem as a set covering problem and using a two-phase method, the complexity of the problem is reduced and various real-world features can be incorporated. A case study with real data shows that the model can be used during the planning phase of audits and supports decision-makers in scenario analysis with different parameters.
