4456 "In 2005, at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in northern Italy, "
4457 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "
4458 "to quickly prototype design ideas. As musicians, artists, and designers, "
4459 "they needed a platform that didn’t require engineering expertise. A group of "
4460 "teachers and students, including Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, "
4461 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4462 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "
4463 "hardware, microcontrollers, and electronics. All aspects of the platform "
4464 "were openly licensed: hardware designs and documentation with the "

7853 "free and modify them and even use them commercially. The requirement to give "
7854 "attribution to the original creator ensures that the creator can build a "

7886 "The Noun Project first adopted a model whereby using an icon without giving "

7888 "subscription component, where there would be a monthly fee to access a "
7889 "certain number of icons—ten, fifty, a hundred, or five hundred. However, "
7890 "users didn’t like these hard-count options. They preferred to try out many "
7891 "similar icons to see which worked best before eventually choosing the one "

7906 "know all of them in advance, so they built an API with a lot of "
7907 "flexibility. Knowing that most API applications would want to use the icons "

9166 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9167 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9168 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9169 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9170 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9171 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "

9178 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "

9180 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9181 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9182 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9183 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9184 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9185 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9186 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9187 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9188 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9189 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "

9794 "PLOS further disrupted the traditional journal-publishing model by "

9796 "in 2006, is an open-access peer-reviewed academic journal that is much "
9797 "larger than a traditional journal, publishing thousands of articles per year "
9798 "and benefiting from economies of scale. PLOS ONE has a broad scope, covering "
9799 "science and medicine as well as social sciences and the humanities. The "
9800 "review and editorial process is less subjective. Articles are accepted for "
9801 "publication based on whether they are technically sound rather than "
9802 "perceived importance or relevance. This is very important in the current "
9803 "debate about the integrity and reproducibility of research because negative "
9804 "or null results can then be published as well, which are generally rejected "
9805 "by traditional journals. PLOS ONE, like all the PLOS journals, is online "
9806 "only with no print version. PLOS passes on the financial savings accrued "
9807 "through economies of scale to researchers and the public by lowering the "
9808 "article-processing charges, which are below that of other journals. PLOS ONE "
9809 "is the biggest journal in the world and has really set the bar for "
9810 "publishing academic journal articles on a large scale. Other publishers see "
9811 "the value of the PLOS ONE model and are now offering their own "

9858 "Another adjustable practice is the sharing of articles at early preprint "
9859 "stages. Publication of research in a peer-reviewed journal can take a long "
9860 "time because articles must undergo extensive peer review. The need to "
9861 "quickly circulate current results within a scientific community has led to a "
9862 "practice of distributing pre-print documents that have not yet undergone "
9863 "peer review. Preprints broaden the peer-review process, allowing authors to "
9864 "receive early feedback from a wide group of peers, which can help revise and "
9865 "prepare the article for submission. Offsetting the advantages of preprints "
9866 "are author concerns over ensuring their primacy of being first to come up "
9867 "with findings based on their research. Other researches may see findings the "
9868 "preprint author has not yet thought of. However, preprints help researchers "
9869 "get their discoveries out early and establish precedence. A big challenge is "

10282 "never lose sight of its vision for the collection. Allowing access to and "
