EMERGING PERSPECTIVES: INTERDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE RESEARCH IN EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY
https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/ep

CREAT!VITY

The journal will undertake problems of human creativity – its recognition, correlates, determinants, possibilities for its support and development – analyzed from the point of view of education, psychology, sociology, aesthetics, etc. Moreover, the journal will discuss issues of creative potential as well as actual creative achievements (everyday and eminent creativity). It will also consider methodological and statistical issues regarding quantitative and qualitative creativity studies in various countries. The journal is a platform for positive confrontation of the various ways of perceiving and investigating creativity; interparadigmatic and interdiscursive dialogue of the representatives of distinct theoretical and methodological options. The journal is published in an electronic form, in English, half-annually. We publish original theoretical papers, studies, overviews, and comments about current issues in human creativity from the perspective of various scholarly disciplines.

Open Access Journals for Psychology Researchers

(Originally posted on Saturday, December 19, 2015 at -
http://psychologyforum4pinoystudents.blogspot.com/2015/12/open-source-psychology-journals.html )

Can't afford to pay expensive online academic journals? Well that's so common problem, thanks to the conscientious men and women who thought of OPEN ACCESS so we now have answer to this perennial problem.

Should you find a study from a paywall journal but could not afford it, your best option is to try contact/email the author/s directly. Most of them are very generous to share their research works/articles. So when you use/cite their works be sure to provide them copy of your search out put as well. Citing their work increases their credibility in their field.

If you do not have money to pay for those expensive journals (at least US $29-40/title) or your school is not subscribing to any of those online journals then maximize the availability of open source journals instead. If the study is not readily downloadable then try asking author/s a copy of their works.

Enjoy your research and make your research output useful for humanity.

Caveat - if you notice that some of the journal links provided are questionable and predatory in nature, do point them out and make your comment below.

We have so far found two online journals in the country (should you know other local libraries with online link/site inform us to include here):

Legal alternative to academic publishing paywalls - install the unpaywall to your google chrome browser from this site - http://unpaywall.org

Frequently asked questions
http://unpaywall.org/faq

Who's behind Unpaywall? We're Impactstory, a nonprofit working to make science more open and reusable online. We're supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Why did you make it? Now more than ever, humanity needs to access our collective knowledge, not hoard it behind paywalls. Lots of researchers feel the same; that's why they upload their papers to free, legal servers online. We want to help bring that open access content to the masses. How often does Unpaywall find full text? We find fulltext for 65-85% of articles, depending on their topic and year of publication. We think that's a game-changer for the publishing industry. Now that most articles are free, why subscribe? Over the longer term, we'll keep getting even better as mandatory open access requirements begin to take effect in the US, UK, Europe, and elsewhere. How do you find all these fulltext articles? We gather content from thousands of open-access repositories worldwide. To help us, we rely on a number of data sources, including PubMed Central, the DOAJ, Crossref (particulary their license info), DataCite, Google Scholar, and BASE. After we put all this data together, we in turn make it open for reuse via the oaDOI API: a free, fast, and very scalable way to leverage our data and infrastructure to support your own projects. How's this different from Sci-Hub? Like Unpaywall, Sci-Hub finds fulltext PDFs for paywalled articles. The main difference is where those PDFs come from: Unpaywall finds PDFs legally uploaded by the authors themselves, while Sci-Hub uses PDFs that are obtained by other means, including automated web scraping of publisher sites. Sci-Hub's method delivers more comprehensive results, but is not super legal. So while we're not against Sci-Hub, we think Unpaywall offers a more sustainable approach by working within copyright law and supporting the growing open access movement. How's this different from the Open Access Button? The OA Button and Unpaywall are similar. But the OA Button is a more mature project (it's been working since 2013), and has a different user interface as well as extra features including author emailing and finding open datasets. Unpaywall is more focused on seamlessly finding free content. The great thing is, both are open-source and free, so you can install both, or fork 'em and make your own better extension! What's your privacy policy? The extension doesn't store or ask for any personal information from you, so when you use Unpaywall we don't know who you are. The extension doesn't track your browsing history, and it doesn't send any content from any page you visit to our servers, with one exception: when a page has a DOI (a short identifier used by scholarly articles), we send that DOI to our server (using an encrypted HTTPS connection) to find any free versions. We will log requests to our servers (which include the DOI and the IP address the request came from) in order to monitor and improve service. But those logs aren't connected to your identity. Furthermore, the extension won't send or use any kind of browser fingerprinting technology to identify your computer. Can Unpaywall tell me whether an article is "Green" or "Gold" OA? Indeed we can. Click the green Unpaywall extension icon in your browser toolbar and choose "Settings." Once there, tick "Color-code tab for Green and Gold OA." Thenceforth, you'll enjoy a veritable rainbow of OA colorfully goodness as you browse different articles: Gold tab for Gold OA, articles available from the publisher under an open license. (example) Green tab for Green OA articles on a preprint server or institutional repository. (example) Blue tab for articles available on the current page, but lacking license information (often that's because you're browsing from behind the paywall). (example) I found a bug Sorry about that! Unfortunately this is pretty common, especially where publishers don't follow standard practices for article display (as they often do not). For instance, we don't work for articles missing DOIs. The good news is that it's still early days for this project and it's under very active development. When you find an error, drop us an email and we'll get it fixed for you.

A few additional methods:

* PubMed Central (PMC) is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine. 4.3 million articles currently archived.
* PLOS (for Public Library of Science) is a nonprofit open access scientific publishing project aimed at creating a library of open access journals and other scientific literature.
* CiteSeerX is a public search engine and digital library and repository for scientific and academic papers primarily with a focus on computer and information science.
* Reddit Scholar is a place where you can request papers.
* Wikipedia has a (small) list of Open Access journals.

Also, Hinari provides free or very low cost online access to some journals in biomedical and related social sciences to local, not-for-profit institutions in developing countries.

Related and new: the Initiative for Open Citations I4OC is a collaboration between scholarly publishers, researchers, and other interested parties to promote the unrestricted availability of scholarly citation data.

Archives of Scientific Psychology: A New Journal for a New Era

Am very happy to find out a journal that is open access a real way to distribute and share knowledge in psychology. This is a pioneering effort for a wider audience to have and get to know the current trends in this field. I hope that this will continue to be as it is, open and people interested in psychology should engage and be part of this initiative.

Mabuhay to an empowering Psychology!

Archives of Scientific Psychology: A New Journal for a New Era

Harris Cooper and Gary R. VandenBos

Source - http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/arc/1/1/1.html

The science of psychology matures in many ways. Its concepts and theories become more precise. Its methods incorporate advances in statistics and research design, as well as new technologies. Publishing in scientific psychology also matures.

Archives of Scientific Psychology is a new journal of the American Psychological Association (APA). It is a response to recent changes in how social, behavioral, and cognitive scientists communicate with one another and with the public. As importantly, it responds to changes in what people expect to learn when they read a scientific research report.

The subject matter of Archives of Scientific Psychology spans the entire discipline of psychology. Readers will find articles on subjects ranging from neuroscience topolitical psychology, and all points in between. Articles will also describe research conducted using any of the methods found in the psychologist's toolbox (Cooper et al., 2012).
Articles published in Archives of Scientific Psychology have five characteristics that, together, make them unique:

The articles are free and open to the public; anyone with access to the Internet should have access to these research reports. In addition, readers can sign up for e-mail and other alerts when articles of interest to them are published.

Following APA's Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS; APA Publication and Communication Board Working Group on Journal Article Reporting Standards, 2008), the authors of articles have completed a detailed description of their methods; this description is also available on the Internet.

The authors have made available the data that underlie the analyses presented in the article. The data can be used by others for verification or extension of the study's results. The data are available from APA or another approved repository upon agreement regarding usage. If deposited with APA, next users agree to offer to the researchers who generated the data involvement in any subsequent publications.

Because articles published in Archives of Scientific Psychology are available to the general public as well as scientists, readers find two versions of each article's Abstract and Method section.

One abstract is written in nontechnical language; it describes the study and why its findings are important to understanding human thought, feeling, and behavior and/or to assisting with solutions to psychological or societal problems. The other abstract is a scientific abstract and is used for retrieval of the article from databases of scientific references.

The Method section contains a brief, nontechnical description of methods. Also, it contains a link to the detailed description of the investigation's design, implementation, and analyses mentioned above.

Finally, to facilitate discussion of the article among multiple audiences:

The (a) article, (b) comments on the article by scholars who took part in the peer review process (and perhaps others), and (c) the authors' response may be published as a separate document at the same time as the target article. The comments and author reaction also pass review by the action editor.

The article will contain a link to a discussion group dedicated to the article.
Each of these characteristics of Archives of Scientific Psychology is briefly discussed below.

Open access

“Open access” in the publishing domain refers to the availability of scholarly materials, typically peer-reviewed, free of charge to readers and with a minimum or reduced set of copyright restrictions. The expense of distributing the material is borne by the author or an institution supportive of open access. The principal barrier to obtaining open access material is the need for access to the Internet (seeSuber, 2012, for an excellent introductory but nuanced definition of open access).

The arguments in favor of open access are persuasively presented by the Budapest Open Access Initiative (2002):

Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for knowledge. (Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2002)

The Harvard Open Access Initiative goes on to say:

Open access makes knowledge accessible and reusable, accelerates the pace of discovery and discussion, maximizes the return on our investment in research, and speeds the development of all the benefits that depend on research, from new medicines and useful technologies to informed decisions, solved problems, and improved public policies. (Berkman Center for Internet & Society, 2012)

Finally, a growing body of evidence appears to support the notion that open access publishing has benefits for authors as well; their work is more likely to be cited in the works of others (OpCit Project, 2012).

Open access publishing is not without criticisms. These primarily revolve around issues raised by publishers (and learned societies) concerned about the sustainability of the funding model, its potential influence on the peer-reviewprocess, and its impact on technological innovation in publishing (Nature Publishing Group, 2004).

A study conducted in 2010 revealed that about 8.5% of scientific scholarship was available through journals that were open access. In the social sciences the figure was 5.6% (Björk et al., 2010). The number of articles published in open access journals has been increasing dramatically (Laakso et al., 2011). This suggests that the open access model of publishing is here to stay.
