Provision of supplementary materials in Library and Information Science scholarly journals

Purpose This study seeks to analyse the policies of library and information science (LIS) journals regarding the publication of supplementary materials, the number of journals and articles that include this feature, the kind of supplementary materials published with regard to their function in the article, the formats employed and the access provided to readers. Design/methodology/approach The study analysed the instructions for authors of LIS journals indexed in the ISI Journal Citation Reports, as well as the supplementary materials attached to the articles published in their 2011 online volumes. Findings Large publishers are more likely to have a policy regarding the publication of supplementary materials, and policies are usually homogeneous across all the journals of a given publisher. Most policies state the acceptance of supplementary materials, and even journals without a policy also publish supplementary materials. The majority of supplementary materials provided in LIS articles are extended methodological explanations and additional results in the form of textual information in PDF or Word files. Some toll-access journals provide open access to any reader to these files. Originality/value This study provides new insights into the characteristics of supplementary materials in LIS journals. The results may be used by journal publishers to establish a policy on the publication of supplementary materials and, more broadly, to develop data sharing initiatives in academic settings.

World Library and Information Congress: 75th IFLA General Conference and Assembly.

L"edició del 2009 de la trobada de l"IFLA s"ha celebrat a Milà. La maquinària de l"organització va funcionar amb precisió per a aquest esdeveniment. Després d"anys de regularitat en les trobades per tot el món, l"IFLA funciona com un autòmat, una d"aquestes màquines perfectes, tant que podria continuar uncionant en les formes amb exemplar artifici. És un trobada singular, que aplega, a la vegada, la reunió de l"organització, un congrés mundial i una fira comercial; tot això amanit amb una ciutat diferent cada any i un finançament que depèn de la bona marxa de tot l"esdeveniment. En certa mesura, l"IFLA és un aparador de la professió, al qual assisteixen bibliotecaris de tot el món i de centenars d"institucions, amb tot el que suposa d"artificiositat en la representació d"entitats i promoció; un espai de reflexió, amb ponències i debats de molt variat interès que poden trobar-se, generalment, en altres esdeveniments; i una posada a punt dels treballs de tots els comitès, que tenen un complex desenvolupament previ i una àrdua tasca desenvolupada amb generositat per tots els participants.
