The study focused on the institutional factors variable as determinants of lecturers’ utilization of electronic publications in library schools in universities in Nigeria. The study was guided by one research questions and one null hypotheses. Correlational design was adopted for the study, while rating scale titled ‘Computer Utilization Variables and Lecturers Utilization of Electronic Publications’ (CUVLUEP) was used to elicit data for the study. A sample of 378 library and information science lecturers from the 24 public universities in Nigeria were used for the study. The reliability of the instrument was determined through the Cronbach Alpha statistical method which gave a reliability coefficient of 0.79. Data collected were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Research question were answered using coefficient of determination (r2) and Pearson “r. This statistics helped to establish the linear relationship between the variables of this study. Hypotheses were tested using t-test of significance of correlation Findings show that there is a moderate positive relationship between computer skills and lecturers’ utilization of electronic publications for research as well as a high positive relationship among institutional factors It was therefore, recommended that since the utilization of electronic publications for research is highly influenced by the lecturers’ level of computer skills, there is need for regular training of the lecturers especially those in university environment to enable them acquire computer literacy skills. It was also recommended that all the computer utilization variables should be considered very important to effective utilization of electronic publications as each factor can influence to some extent the level of computer utilization by lecturers.

It analyzes the path of the Journal of Electoral Law, published by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal of Costa Rica in its first fifteen years of existence.

The editor is an intermediary among the author, the copy editor and the readers, but at the same time he or she supervises the development of scientific knowledge through the publication of articles; this figure has the responsibility of choosing the best works and making the decision to accept or reject a document. The objectiveof this paper is to determine the perceptions of editors with regard to poor behavior in the publication of social science journals. We also mention the different ethics committees and uses of software to detect plagiarism and describe undesirable practices among author, editor and copy editor during the editorial process. The methodology applied an online survey with the responses of 17 editors. The majority of the participants have detected undesirable publicationpractices, the most serious of which were fragmentation of research, as Šupak Smolcˇic´ (2013) has noted, and self-plagiarism., El editor es un intermediario entre el autor, el revisor y los lectores, asimismo tiene la responsabilidad de seleccionar los mejores trabajos y tomar la decisión de rechazar o aceptar un manuscrito. El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar las percepciones de los editores sobre los malos comportamientos en la publicación de revistas en ciencias sociales, además se mencionan los diferentes comités de ética y el uso del software que detecta niveles de plagio y, por último, se describe la mala práctica entre el autor, el editor y el revisor durante el proceso editorial. En la metodología se aplicó un cuestionario en línea donde respondieron 17 editores. Se encontró que la mayoría de los encuestados han detectado malas prácticas de publicación entre las más graves se destaca la fragmentación de la investigación, como expresa Šupak Smolcˇic´ (2013) con la idea de publicación “salami” o el máximo número de artículos que se pueden obtener de una sola investigación y el auto-plagio.

Purpose – Grey literature, difficult to define, acquire and process, has recently entered into an age of enlightenment due to increasing electronic publishing opportunities and digitization efforts. Emerging technologies, including social media, that can be integrated with sound, film and collection practices in many kinds of special, academic, government, public and research libraries can point to new examples of grey literature that show great demand for its utility and thus importance placed by growing user communities. This paper seeks to address these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Research was reviewed using examples from the social and applied sciences literature emphasizing management constructs to demonstrate directions that grey literature had assumed in generating new forms of information. Findings – As libraries examine the merits of grey literature, they are attempting to be hybrid centers of print and digital content to handle data, visual resources, imagery, and all forms of media. Every source can be considered a potential reference tool, access barriers to materials are lowered, and items circulate more and are requested through electronic and mobile access. This revised lifecycle of information forces libraries to rethink the scope and value of collections. Practical implications – The challenges facing libraries that want to bridge formats and truly embrace new technologies are complex, potentially expensive and difficult to navigate and administer. However, the experiences of those that have welcomed grey literature can demonstrate the great potential of making less used documents more visible through emerging technologies. Originality/value – Examples of scientific, business/census data, news/media coverage, genealogical information and public/consumer health content, each of which has seen large increases in demand and debuted new information products, often as open source, suggest that libraries can respond to these challenges by creati

In previous Legal Deposit Law the number of legal deposits was too large and publishers were discontent with this factor, because the expenses of publishing through years have grown, publishers didn’t want to deliver legal deposits to the National Library of Latvia, and nowadays the popularity of electronic publications has increased, legislature had to provide new legal deposit law. But there are some questions - does this law change the attitude of publishers and how do the processes of electronic publications conservancy evolve. In this paper we will try to answer these questions, as well as try to show tendencies of development in this field., 16th BOBCATSSS Symposium 2008 - Providing Access to Information for Everyone, BOBCATSSS 2008, 28.01.2008 - 30.01.2008, Zadar, Croatia, pp 103-108

While electronic publications offer opportunities to enhance collections and services, they unfortunately raise significant issues with regard to the duplication of investment, conversion from ownership to licensing of primary source materials, and concerns with long-term access to information. Acquiring these resources demands substantial amounts of staff time in selection, acquisition, cataloging, and management. This article describes the development and creation of a genre statement for a subset of electronic resources that the University of Maryland Libraries have termed "electronic publications." Issues covered include the factors that created a need for the genre statement, the process followed to develop it and the issues contained in the genre statement. The development of a genre statement provided us with an opportunity to assess emerging problems and a chance to codify and disseminate developing best practices. Its completion marks the first step in a process to create a coherent program for the evaluation and selection of electronic publications
