The 30 month project, funded by the EC 7th Framework Programme, will work in tandem with OpenAIRE...providing cross-links from publications to data and funding schemes. This large-scale project brings together 41 pan-European partners, including three cross-disciplinary research communities....The project will establish an e-Infrastructure to harvest, enrich and store the metadata of Open Access scientific datasets. Innovative underlying technical structures will be deployed to support the management of and inter-linking between associated scientific data...." |
| Impact Factor Predicts Unreliability Of Research Papers Posted: 27 Dec 2011 07:03 AM PST bjoern.brembs.net "Last week, we've already seen that the most prominent way of ranking scholarly journals, Thomson Reuters' Impact Factor (IF), isn't a very good measure for predicting how many citations your scientific paper will attract. Instead, there is evidence that IF is much better at predicting the chance that your paper might get retracted. Now, I've just been sent a paper (subscription required) which provides evidence that the reliability of some research papers correlates negatively with journal IF. In other words, the higher the journal's IF in which the paper was published, the less reliable the research is. This particular evidence holds only for gene association studies, but given the high correlation between IF and retractions, it likely holds for other research as well...." |

| Promoting Ocean Literacy – a DSN Core Value Posted: 26 Dec 2011 10:48 AM PST Deep Sea News, (22 Dec 2011) "When I sought the full papers, however, I could only get 4 out of 9, even using 2 different major university library logins. In other words, the majority of relevant literature in this case may as well not exist, since it was inaccessible to me, blessed though I am by location and vocation. Yes, it seems that improving ocean literacy for scientists is another case where the open access publishing revolution offers hope for real improvement. It’s not the be all and end all of course (the financially-challenged, developing-world scholar can no more afford to publish in many OA journals than to subscribe to the traditional ones!), but it’s a huge step in the right direction. To improve ocean literacy, therefore, I say Step 1 is – improve access for SCIENTISTS. Of course, open access would make the very same information available to the public as well, which is even better! ..." |
