Altmetric Score
The Altmetric™ Score tracks a wide range of online reactions to a scientific publication – measuring things like mentions in blogs or social networks (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn …), citations on Wikipedia, etc.
APC (Article Publication Charge)
Publishing a scientific article and keeping it available online involves many steps, costs, and overheads. In the traditional subscription model, these costs are effectively borne by the readers and subscribers, who pay to read the articles and the journal. Another way of covering these costs for open access journals or articles is the “article publication charge”, which is typically paid by an author or her/his funding body, so subscription revenue is not needed, and the article can be published online open access, free to be read by anyone.

Crossref
An official DOI registration agency, founded in 2000 as a nonprofit organization in a cooperative effort among publishers to enable persistent cross-publisher linking of references in online publications. Hogrefe was one of the earliest members of Crossref.
Deep Link
Direct link to an eBook, online article, or other digital offering on a specific website or platform, rather than a link to a homepage.
Digital Archives / “Dim” or “Dark” Archives
Digital archiving and preservation services cooperate with member publishers and libraries to preserve digital content such as journals so that libraries and others will still be able to access content even if access ceases to be available via the publisher. Many Hogrefe journals are archived with the not-for-profit organization Portico. A full list of our archived titles is available on the Portico website.
Discovery Service
A service on an online platform or website (e.g., a university library) that allows users to search and find content of differing types (e.g., books, journals, abstracts, data collections) and from different data sources (e.g., from different publishers, different platforms) in one search.
DOI (Digital Object Identifier)
A unique, permanent identifier for electronic publications (e.g., a journal article, an eBook, a dataset). Hogrefe is a member of Crossref (see also Crossref), an organization that supplies such identifiers. The use of a DOI in (for instance) a reference list means that a user who clicks on the reference is taken direct to the original publication.

The eBook collection of the Hogrefe publishing group, for institutions and libraries, including more than 1,600 book titles, with German and English content.
Hogrefe OpenMind
Our “hybrid” open access publishing model for journal articles. Detailed information is here.
Impact Factor
A measure of how often, on average, articles published in a scientific journal are cited in other scientific journals. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field; journals with higher impact factors are often deemed to be more important than those with lower ones. More precisely: the impact factor of a journal in year X is the number of citations received in year X, of articles published in the journal during years X - 1 and X - 2, divided by the total number of articles published in that journal during the two years X - 1 and X-2.
Indexing Services
Scientific publications such as journal articles or books are listed and discoverable in various indexing services and other databases. Hogrefe distributes bibliographical and other information (such as abstracts and key words) to numerous such services, to help make science more readily findable. Services include PubMed, PsycINFO, Psyndex, Scopus, and EMCare. Details are given under the heading "Indexed in" on each Journal’s web page.
KUDOS
Independent online platform with tools for (mainly journal) authors. Authors can explain, link, and share short descriptions with a worldwide network of researchers and a broader audience. They can see a dashboard showing how the article is mentioned (e.g., on social networks) and its Altmetric score. Kudos is provided to authors free of charge.
Metadata
Structured data records for a publication or product, which we distribute to industry and other partners. Metadata for books include bibliographic records used by bookstores (Onix) or libraries (MARC). Journal article metadata are distributed to a wide range of indexing and discovery services.
Open Access
Publication of content such as journals, journal articles, or books so that it is accessible online without technical barriers or payment by readers. Forms of open access (OA) include:
- "Gold" open access: the final "version of record" (see below) prepared by the publisher is published OA, typically after payment of an APC (see above)
- "Green" open access: simultaneous or subsequent OA publication of a version of the material other than the version of record (e.g., the submitted or the accepted manuscript version), typically without payment of an APC. See Hogrefe’s Sharing guidelines.
- "Hybrid” open access: a publishing business model in which part of the content of a journal is published open access (typically paid for by authors’ APCs), part of it is published in a subscription offering (typically paid for by subscribers and readers)
Open (Research) Data
Journal articles (or books) often present and summarize results of scientific research and draw scientific conclusions from it; this is often based on analysis of research data. In keeping with the open access movement and philosophy, there is increasing interest among researchers and others in the scientific community in making such data freely available to others, without cost or unreasonable “barriers,” so that results can be examined or data used in further studies. These data must therefore be stored reliably and must also be linked to from within the article itself (and vice versa). Data protection considerations must be taken into account. Various Hogrefe journals already have open data policies, which are detailed in the respective author guidelines.
Open Educational Resources
Freely accessible learning and teaching materials.
Open Material
Freely accessible materials such as images, videos, test materials, etc.
Open Science
The term “open science” bundles the various “open” ideas (open access, open data, open peer-review) and refers to the aim of making all steps within the scientific process open, transparent, and accessible without barriers to all.
Open Source
Software with source code that is made publicly available and may be distributed and used or modified without charge in most cases.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
Internationally widely accepted unique personal identifier, used mainly by scientists and researchers, that (among other things) aims to eliminate confusion between researchers with the same name.
Outreach
Generally defined as efforts to bring services or information to people where they live or spend time. In science publishing, it usually means communicating with multipliers in a specific field and with people outside of that field to increase awareness of published content.
(Pre-)Registered Reports
A publishing procedure in tune with “open science” that aims to reduce the “publishing bias” that is thought to lead to more “positive” results and fewer “negative” results being published. Basically, a manuscript (with theory, methods, planned data analysis, hypothesis, etc.) is submitted, reviewed, and accepted in principle for publication before the research is carried out. This manuscript is often called the “Stage 1” or “pre-registered” manuscript. Once the research has been carried out, the final parts of the paper (e.g., results, conclusion) are added and the final (“Stage 2”) paper is published in the journal. Several Hogrefe journals already offer authors the opportunity to publish registered reports – please refer to the respective author guidelines.
ScienceOpen
ScienceOpen is a platform where scientists can research literature published by wide range of publishers. Features such as linked references and statistics about online citations, Altmetric™ scores, user numbers, user ratings, and shares provide contextual information to the scientific community. Users can also comment on articles, or add recommendations and post-publication peer reviews. Hogrefe’s collection of open access articles has been indexed on ScienceOpen since 2017. In January 2019 we added a large part of our backlist, organized in thematic collections as well as by journal, and these collections are being updated continuously as new articles are published.
Text und Data Mining
Basically, turning large amounts of text into a set of data that can then be analyzed statistically or computationally for patterns and trends. Applications may include security (monitoring), medicine (public health), identifying bias in the media, and improving information retrieval in research.
Version of Record
A journal article typically undergoes various stages of evolution, including the manuscript originally submitted to the journal and the revised manuscript version accepted after peer review. The final, definitive version as published in the journal after copy-editing, layout, proof-reading, correction, and cross-linking of references and other items is called the version of record.
