Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and effects of open access conversion of journals from 7 societies that participated in the “Open Access Publication Declaration Academic Societies in the Field of Library and Information Science”, and to identify problems and suggest improvement directions. To this end, the study analyzed the current status based on the elements presented in the “Roadmap for Open Access Publishing Conversion of the Library and Information Science Journals in Korea” and analyzed citation rates. The following problems were identified. First, some journals were not applying CCL or were unable to register it accurately with KJCI, and none of the 7 journals were registered with DOAJ. Second, the newly used journal platforms had not yet registered all previous issues after the conversion. Third, there was a tendency for the article processing charges to be partially increased, and there was also a tendency for editorial staff expenses to increase. Fourth, citation indexes after conversion were lower for both journals compared to the previous 4-5 years. This study proposes that joint publication of journals is necessary to solve practical problems jointly with societies while promoting economies of scale and suggests the need for further development of a roadmap.
