Abstract:

Open access journals have developed new business processes and reve- nue models. Within our contribution we will describe and discuss a new service and revenue model for open access journals: the personal book printing service for the Open Journal System (OJS). To start with, we will give a short introduction to open access journals and their revenue models, new print-on-demand services, and the most often used open journal system. Building upon this state of the art, we will describe the technical prototype of our new “personal book printing service” for OJS and discuss our first experiences.

[plugin] OJS-Plugin: HTML5-Player zur Anzeige der Artikel #zfhe #l3t

Rainer Maria Reitbauer hat im Rahmen seiner Bachelorarbeit einen HTML5-Player für das OJS entwickelt. Das „Open Journal System“ ist das professionelle Zeitschriftenverwaltungssystem, dass bei unseren Projekten zum Einsatz kommt. Und das System kann ja vieles – aber eben auch vieles nicht. Und was das System z.B. leider bisher nicht konnte: Das Anzeigen und Einbetten von Beiträgen auf anderen Webseiten. Das ist nun Geschichte, dank des neuen HTML5-Players. Für L3T:

[publication] Web analytics of user path tracing and a novel algorithm for generating recommendations in Open Journal Systems

Our publication on „Web analytics of user path tracing and a novel algorithm for generating recommendations in Open Journal Systems“ in the International Journal on Open Information Review got published.
Abstract:

Purpose: The use of articles from scientific journals is an important part of research-based teaching at universities. The selection of relevant work from among the increasing amount of scientific literature can be problematic; the challenge is to find relevant recommendations, especially when the related articles are not obviously linked together. Design/methodology/approach – This paper focuses on the analysis of user activity traces in journals using the open source software “Open Journal Systems” (OJS). The research question is to what extent end users follow a certain link structure given within OJS or immediately select the articles according to their interests. In the latter case, the recorded data sets are used for creating further recommendations. The analysis is based on an article matrix, displaying the usage frequency of articles and their user selected successive articles within the OJS. Furthermore, the navigation paths are analyzed.
Findings: According to the analysis results, it was found that the users tend to follow a set navigation structure. Moreover, a hybrid recommendation system for OJS is described, which uses content based filtering as the basic system extended by the results of a collaborative filtering approach.
Originality/value: We present two original contributions: The analysis of userpath tracing and a novel algorithm that allows a smooth integration of new articles into the existing recommendations, due to the fact that scientific journals are published in a frequent and regular time sequence.
Keywords: Web Analytics, Scientific literature, Open Journal System, Recommender System, Path analysis, Research-Based Teaching, recommendation algorithm

[iPad] Open Journal System

Bevor ich mich in die Weihnachtsfeiertage und eine zweiwöchige Pause verabschiede, freut es mich, dass ich quasi als Weihnachtsgeschenk ankündigen kann, dass die iPad-App für das Open-Journal-System nun verfügbar ist. Im Rahmen einer Projektarbeit ist diese App entstanden und wenn das entsprechende Plugin am System installiert ist, kann man sehr schön sämtliche Artikel am iPad lesen – vorinstalliert haben wir bereits das Lehrbuch L3T, die Zeitschrift Bildungsforschung und die Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung.

With the OJS Application, a user can comfortably access his most favorite OJS journals and navigate to the correspondent articles. To find these easily, abstracts and other information of the articles, like authors, are shown very clearly. The preferred files, like PDFs or images, can then be chosen and they get directly displayed in the App.
The user can also create notes easily at wanted positions in the article and move them via the well known Drag & Drop functionality.
Furthermore, articles which are very interesting, can be stored as favorites.

Nun bleibt mir nur noch über, allen Leserinnen und Lesern meines Weblogs eine gesegnetes Weihnachtsfest 2012 zu wünschen und viel Gesundheit im Jahr 2013.

[iPhone App] iOJS – L3T am iPhone

Die iPhone App iOJS hat ein grafisches Update und weitere kleine Verbesserungen erhalten. Das Ergbnis ist ab sofort im App Store iTunes verfügbar und kann frei heruntergeladen werden. Damit kann man nicht nur L3T am iPhone lesen, sondern auch die Artikel anderen Open Journal Systeme die über das entsprechende Plugin verfügen.

The iOJS app allows the user to store his favorite OJS journals into his iPhone. The user can then browser through all the issues and articles published by the journal, and download the attached files to directly read them on his iPhone.
Furthermore, it is possible to directly send comments on articles to the server, if the user has a valid registration on the OJS server. For this to work, the OJS server has to install the iPhoneGatewayPlugin which is included in the application and doesn’t need any configuration.

Hier kann die App downgeloadet werden [Link] und alle weiteren verfügbaren Apps der TU Graz findet man hier [iTunes Link].
