The scientific publication landscape is changing quickly, with an enormous increase in options and models. Articles can be published in a complex variety of journals that differ in their presentation format (online-only or in-print), editorial organizations that maintain them (commercial and/or society-based), editorial handling (academic or professional editors), editorial board composition (academic or professional), payment options to cover editorial costs (open access or pay-to-read), indexation, visibility, branding, and other aspects. Additionally, online submissions of non-revised versions of manuscripts prior to seeking publication in a peer-reviewed journal (a practice known as pre-printing) are a growing trend in biological sciences. In this changing landscape, researchers in biochemistry and molecular biology must re-think their priorities in terms of scientific output dissemination. The evaluation processes and institutional funding for scientific publications should also be revised accordingly. This article presents the results of discussions within the Department of Biochemistry, University of São Paulo, on this subject.
科学文献出版格局正在迅速变化，可供选择的出版模式和途径越来越多。文章可以发表在各种不同的期刊上，这些期刊在呈现形式（仅在线或印刷）、维护期刊的编辑组织（商业和/或学会）、编辑处理（学术编辑或专业编辑）、编辑委员会组成（学术人员或专业人员）、支付编辑费用的方式（开放获取或付费阅读）、索引、可见度、品牌和其他方面存在差异。此外，在将手稿提交给同行评审期刊之前，先在线提交未经修订版本（这种做法称为预印本），这在生物科学领域是一个日益增长的趋势。在这种不断变化的格局下，生物化学和分子生物学领域的研究人员必须重新思考他们在科学产出传播方面的优先事项。科学出版物的评估过程和机构资助也应相应修改。本文介绍了圣保罗大学生物化学系内部就此问题进行的讨论结果。
