OPEN SCIENCE TERMS & DEFINITIONS

IGI Global: is a open access publisher?

Colours of Sheroa/Romeo are ambiguous and not easy for researcher to understand if a publisher has a Open Access policy or not.
For example, the color of IGI Global is Blue, "Can archive post-print (ie final draft post-refereeing) or publisher's version/PDF" and if we read the "General Conditions" says that "Publisher's version/PDF must be used"...
For a researcher this could be a Open Access publisher but not. They don't allow post-print, or pre print, and we need to pay APC "Article processing charge "...

The terms and definitions are not easy! We need to simplify this "taxonomy"!

LNCRNA

Full name is long non coding RNA. Compared with common protein coding RNAs, which we are familiar with, they don't generate a protein product. Instead, lncRNA tend to regulate the expression of other protein coding genes with pre/post transcriptional regulations.

ORCID

a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from eachother and supports automated linkages between the reseacher and their professional activities ensuring that their work is recognized (by integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission)

Predatory Publishing

Predatory publishing generally refers to the systematic for-profit publication of purportedly scholarly content (in journals and articles, monographs, books, or conference proceedings) in a deceptive or fraudulent way and without any regard for quality assurance. (Definition taken from COPE - Committee on Publication Ethics)
