Proposal of the Movement that Publishes the Results of Scientific Research of Home Country to Scientific Journals of Home Country

Abstract

The library budget is stringent because of the soaring price of a foreign journal and the spread of electronic journals every year. A researcher is in the tendency to contribute the research result performed by investing the research cost of a country or a university to the foreign scientific (scholarly) journal which evaluation is high as much as possible. When a researcher continues to contribute his paper to some publishing companies' journals, those journals serve as a large sum extremely, and it is becoming impossible to purchase them at a library. Therefore, in order to normalize the state of such an unusual scientific communication, librarians and researchers should emphatically promote the “3-Nots-Movement” such as; 1) libraries do not subscribe to those extremely high priced journals, 2) researchers do not contribute their papers to those journals, and 3) researchers do not become peer-reviewers and editors of those journals. And on this occasion, in order to support the realization of normal scientific communication, it should be recognized that there are three roles of librarians to researchers such as, 1) appealing the current state of the scientific journal in each country, 2) explaining the problem of the sudden rise of journal prices, and 3) appealing the structural reform of the research publishing custom in each country. So, the author proposes the movement that raises and promotes to publish the results of scientific research of home country to scientific journals of home country all over the world.
