Open access move puts UK jobs at risk | Mail Online Posted: 18 Jun 2012 07:16 AM PDT   Open access move puts UK jobs at risk | Mail Online m.dailymail.co.uk "A report commissioned by 10 Downing Street sociologist Dame Janet Finch will say that open access to public-funded research ‘offers significant social and economic benefits’....But UK businesses fear that the proposals will destroy Britain’s highly-regarded academic publishing industry that modifies raw research, publishes it in the form of academic magazines, journals and books and exports it to the rest of the world. One leading publishing group said the move to provide all of Britain’s academic output online for nothing could destroy a £1billion industry that employs 10,000 people here and in its overseas operations...."

Does open access publishing increase the impact of scientific articles? An empirical study in the field of intensive care medicine. Posted: 17 Jun 2012 10:31 AM PDT   Does open access publishing increase the impact of scientific articles? An empirical study in the field of intensive care medicine. M Riera and E Aibar Medicina intensiva / Sociedad Espanola de Medicina Intensiva y Unidades Coronarias, (07 Jun 2012) info:pmid/22683044 | info:doi/10.1016/j.medin.2012.04.002 METHODS: We evaluated a total of 161 articles (76% being non-open access articles) published in Intensive Care Medicine in the year 2008. Citation data were compared between the two groups up until April 30, 2011. Potentially confounding variables for citation counts were adjusted for in a linear multiple regression model. RESULTS: The median number (interquartile range) of citations of non-open access articles was 8 (4-12) versus 9 (6-18) in the case of open access articles (p=0.084). In the highest citation range (>8), the citation count was 13 (10-16) and 18 (13-21) (p=0.008), respectively. The mean follow-up was 37.5±3 months in both groups. In the 30-35 months after publication, the average number (mean±standard deviation) of citations per article per month of non-open access articles was 0.28±0.6 versus 0.38±0.7 in the case of open access articles (p=0.043). Independent factors for citation advantage were the Hirsch index of the first signing author (β=0.207; p=0.015) and open access status (β=3.618; p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Open access publishing and the Hirsch index of the first signing author increase the impact of scientific articles. The open access advantage is greater for the more highly cited articles, and appears in the 30-35 months after publication.

		How you can save up to 10% on the cost of college When talking about the cost of college, a penny saved is a penny earned plus ten or fifteen years of interest. That's why reducing your costs, borrowing less, and budgeting wisely can save you more than you think. Here's where to start: Compare your private student loan options Not all private student loans are created equal. Compare them side-by-side and find the cheapest one for you. But look beyond the interest rate. Consider the borrowing terms and the benefits of each loan when evaluating total cost. Know how much to borrow One of the most expensive mistakes you can make is borrowing too much. The key? Budget before you borrow. Include things like textbooks and living expense. Don't include things like your car payment or a vacation. Buy cheaper textbooks Our Textbook Comparison Center can save you up to 90% on the textbooks you need. Consider it your weapon in the fight against bookstore prices. Qualify for more financial aid Our TuitionCoach can help you qualify for more financial aid by coaching you and your family how to better demonstrate your financial need on paper. Sign up for SmarterBank™ It's online banking with rewards that actually matter. Earn money on the money you're already spending, then use those rewards to make extra payments on your student loans. The total student debt in America has passed the $1 trillion mark If you stacked $100 bills until you reached that amount, your pile would be 678 miles high.
