Inventory of criteria for prioritization of digitisation of collections focussed on scientific and societal needs
<p>Anno 2017 the task of mobilizing data from biocollections ahead of us is still enormous (data of 90% of the biocollections still needs to be mobilized). It is imperative for stakeholders, individual keepers of natural science collections, the community at large, and even for funding agencies, not only to tackle this backlog as quickly as possible, but do it in the best possible order. To establish the best possible order for digitizing biocollections a demand driven framework is required based among others on criteria used to digitize biocollections.</p>

Scientific journals with discontinued indexing: the SciELO Brazil Collection = Periódicos científicos com indexação descontinuada: a Coleção SciELO Brasil
<p>Analisa os periódicos científicos com indexação descontinuada da Coleção SciELO Brasil. O <em>corpus</em> constituiu-se de 75 periódicos com indexação descontinuada (coleção não-corrente) desta base. Foram analisados dados dos periódicos e seus editoriais, utilizando-se a técnica de análise de conteúdo. A base registra duas categorias de motivos genéricas: Terminado (40 títulos): tiveram seus títulos alterados, mas permaneceram na base, em sua maioria; e Indexação interrompida (35 títulos): saíram da base, porém os volumes já indexados foram mantidos. Dentre os títulos da categoria Terminado, identificaram-se cinco motivações principais: internacionalização e visibilidade internacional (25 títulos), modernização (2), mudança de entidade editora (2), mudança de entidade editora e internacionalização (1), absorvido por outro periódico (1), motivações não identificadas (9). Dentre os títulos da categoria Indexação interrompida, identificaram-se três principais motivações: internacionalização e visibilidade internacional, parceria com editora comercial internacional (12 títulos), atraso no lançamento de novos fascículos (5), contra a política da SciELO de internacionalização (1), motivações não identificadas (17). Constatou-se que a saída da SciELO coincide com mudanças importantes nas trajetórias da maioria dos periódicos. As mudanças evidenciam capacidade de acompanhar o aumento de exigências tecnológicas e editoriais propostas pela base para manter os padrões de qualidade internacionais da publicação científica. A SciELO é uma importante catalisadora desse processo, e as instituições editoras têm papel fundamental na sustentabilidade. No total, 12 títulos tiveram a indexação descontinuada porque estabeleceram parcerias com editoras comerciais internacionais, abandonando o acesso aberto, fenômeno que merece atenção.</p>
