The webinar is aimed at presenting the peer-review certification service developed in the course of the HIRMEOS project.
Peer-review has a critical importance in scholarly communication, but both its practices and understanding exhibit a great deal of opacity. This is especially true for the peer review processes concerning open access monographs.
The HIRMEOS Open Book Peer-Review Certification service is a response to the increasing need for transparency and a better understanding of book peer review processes. The certification system, developed in collaboration with the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB), provides a convenient way to reassure authors and evaluation agencies about the scientific quality of Open Access books. In the webinar, we are going to introduce this service to different communities by bringing together the perspectives of scholars, publishers, developers and librarians. It will be showcased how the service aims to open the black box of peer review by:
- Identifying several characteristics of peer review as they specifically pertain to Open Access books,
- Creating standard definitions of the various ways in which book peer reviews are conducted, and
- Informing readers about the nature of review a published work has undergone.
Speakers: Eelco Ferwerda (DOAB, OAPEN), Pierre Mounier (OPERAS), Samuel Moore (King’s College London) and Isabella Meinecke (Hamburg University Press).
Chairs: Andrea Bertino (HIRMEOS, DARIAH-DE), Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra (DARIAH-EU).

Abstract
The digital format opens up new possibilities for interaction with monographic publications. In particular, annotation tools make it possible to broaden the discussion on the content of a book, to suggest new ideas, to report errors or inaccuracies, and to conduct open peer reviews. However, this requires the support of the users who might not yet be familiar with the annotation of digital documents. This paper will give concrete examples and recommendations for exploiting the potential of annotation in academic research and teaching. After presenting the annotation tool of Hypothesis, the article focuses on its use in the context of HIRMEOS (High Integration of Research Monographs in the European Open Science Infrastructure), a project aimed to improve the Open Access digital monograph. The general line and the aims of a post-peer review experiment with the annotation tool, as well as its usage in didactic activities concerning monographic publications are presented and proposed as potential best practices for similar annotation activities.
]]>The HIRMEOS project is looking for members of the research community and scholarly communication experts who are interested in contributing to its workshop Shaping new Ways to Open the Book by participating as a discussant. The HIRMEOS consortium will cover travel and accommodation costs of the selected participants.
Applicants will be invited to share their feedback during the open floor discussion following these four presentations:
The workshop will take place on the 2nd of June in Marseille, France as a side event of the Elpub Conference. Applications are welcome from every member of the research community (scholars, librarians, publishers, other professionals) interested in the topic, but applications coming from early-career researchers and professionals are particularly encouraged.
Successful applicants will receive a grant to support their travel costs to Marseille and a maximum of 2 hotel nights. Travel grants will be assigned continuously until the extinction of the budget.
The registration to the Elpub Conference is not supported by the grant.
If you are interested, please send your CV and a short statement (no longer than 8-10 sentences) on how you could contribute as a discussant to our workshop as soon as possible to Andrea Bertino ([email protected]).
To better plan the organization, we kindly invite all those interested in attending the workshop to register here .
