OAPEN is an initiative in Open Access publishing for humanities and social sciences monographs. The project will find useful, exciting and beneficial ways of publishing scholarly work in Open Access, enhancing access to important peer reviewed research from across Europe. Most importantly it will find a financial model which is appropriate to scholarly humanities monographs, a publishing platform which is beneficial to all users and create a network of publishing partners across Europe and the rest of the world.

Created by Professor Henk Moed at CTWS, University of Leiden, Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP) measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field. The impact of a single citation is given higher value in subject areas where citations are less likely, and vice versa.
This website is dedicated to the development, dissemination and discussion of journal indicators. Such indicators are being developed to assess the quality and impact of scholarly journals within the scientific community. The pioneeering one is the journal impact factor developed by Eugene Garfield at the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), nowadays Thomson Reuters. Recently, the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) of Leiden University developed for Elsevier Scopus an indicator called the source normalized impact per paper (SNIP, see Moed, 2009). This indicator can be seen as an important alternative to the impact factor. More information is available in the Documentation section. Currently, the SNIP is being produced by CWTS exclusively for Scopus.
