| Open access journals: Re: Commentary on Assessing Clinical Discoveries Posted: 07 Nov 2011 07:08 PM PST www.annfammed.org "To summarize, open access and peer review are separate issues. Authors and readers cannot assume that an open-access medical journal is not peer-reviewed or that it has automatically has low readership. For instance, all research articles in journals published by BioMed Central (BMC) and PLoS (Public Library of Science) are peer-reviewed before publication.[4,5] They are major publishers of widely-read (and cited) scientific literature.[6,7] Free digital peer-reviewed content, restricted by traditional copyright, is available from many other respected journals - such as the Annals of Family Medicine, BMJ, New England Journal of Medicine, and The Lancet - whether complete and immediate free access (AFM), immediate free access to certain content (Lancet), or a combination of delayed free access and immediate free access to some content (BMJ, NEJM). The open access movement is rapidly gaining momentum, and should not be underestimated or dismissed...." |
| New 5 Billion Page Web Index with Page Rank Now Available for Free from Common Crawl Foundation Posted: 07 Nov 2011 05:44 PM PST Comments for New 5 Billion Page Web Index with Page Rank Now Available for Free from Common Crawl Foundation, (07 Nov 2011) "A freely accessible index of 5 billion web pages, their page rank, their link graphs and other metadata, hosted on Amazon EC2, was announced today by the Common Crawl Foundation. "It is crucial [in] our information-based society that Web crawl data be open and accessible to anyone who desires to utilize it," writes Foundation director Lisa Green on the organization's blog. The Foundation is an organization dedicated to leveraging the falling costs of crawling and storage for the benefit of "individuals, academic groups, small start-ups, big companies, governments and nonprofits." It's lead by Gilad Elbaz, the forefather of Google AdSense and the CEO of data platform startup Factual. Joining Elbaz on the Foundation board is internet public domain champion Carl Malamud and semantic web serial entrepreneur Nova Spivack. Director Lisa Green came to the Foundation by way of Creative Commons...." |
| Bernard Rentier: "All it takes is a few minutes of political courage" Posted: 07 Nov 2011 12:57 PM PST listserver.sigmaxi.org OA is very easy to achieve. But only by University authorities. All it takes is a few minutes of political courage and let their research community know that any author's refereed, corrected, accepted final draft of any refereed journal article that is not in the Institutional Repository will be disregarded in any performance assessment within the University. It works. But it takes not just authority. It takes also a lot of preparation, information and incentives to convince everyone, because it works best if everybody understands that it is for their own good, for their own interest, and not only for the University's visibility. This is precisely why we created EOS (Enabling Open Scholarship; http://www.openscholarship.org/jcms/j_6/accueil ), to convince Heads of Universities to jump that leap. |
| Refereed Research Articles & Advertisements: Where the Similarity Stops Posted: 07 Nov 2011 12:56 PM PST listserver.sigmaxi.org Journal articles really are (partly) like ads for their authors' findings (as I've pointed out countless times myself, for close to 20 years now!). The service that authors get in exchange for the publisher's exclusive right to sell access to their articles, is that the publisher manages the peer review that certifies their quality. In exchange for that service, authors *give* (sic) the author the exclusive right to sell access to the article. The way publishers are paid, is via subscriptions from institutions. The purpose of Green OA self-archiving of authors' peer-reviewed final drafts is to provide access to those would-be users whose institutions cannot afford subscription access. While subscriptions are being paid in full by institutions, the management of the peer review is being paid for, many, many times over. If ever subscriptions become unsustainable, journals can charge authors' institutions for the peer review (just as newspapers charge for ads): the institutions' windfall subscription cancelation savings will be more than enough to pay for it, several times over. *That's the only part of the newspaper ad analogy that holds.* |

| Is a Different Open Access Strategy Needed for Social Sciences & Humanities? (No) Posted: 07 Nov 2011 12:51 PM PST listserver.sigmaxi.org Social Sciences and Humanities are more ebook intensive than article-intensive. But they write articles too. And all article authors want OA, whereas not all book authors do. So article OA self-archivibg can be mandated, but book OA self-archiving cannot. |
