| Mit Freien Lizenzen auf Wolke Sieben Posted: 01 Mar 2012 07:19 AM PST Wikimedia Blog, (01 Mar 2012) From Google's English: "In May 2009, I [Mathias Schindler] have a request to the operator of the database of the German Center for Aerospace made [Deutschen Zentrums für Luft- und Raumfahrt] (DLR), in which I talk about using a Creative Commons license for the DLR images requested. A day later, a positive answer email and got a few days later I took part in a conference call with representatives of the DLR. We talked about licenses, images, visibility of content and how prominently the NASA footage thanks to the very generous licensing policies of the U.S. Government is represented on Wikipedia. Since then, there were occasional exchanges of the state in the license issue and I am now a very great pleasure to a blog post of the DLR link to where the new and already implemented licensing policy declared imagery. DLR says there in great detail the individual steps in the legal practice and testing of the release of the steps in the re-labeling of published images...." |

| [2b2k] Linking is a public good Posted: 01 Mar 2012 06:56 AM PST Joho the Blog, (26 Feb 2012) "[T]here’s another reason why reports ought to link to their, um, inspirations: Links are a public good. They create a web that is increasingly rich, useful, diverse, and trustworthy. We should all feel an obligation to be caretakers of and contributors to this new linked public. And there’s a further reason. In addition to building this new infrastructure of curiosity, linking is a small act of generosity that sends people away from your site to some other that you think shows the world in a way worth considering. Linking is a public service that reminds us how deeply we are social and public creatures. Which I think helps explains why newspapers often are not generous with their links. A paper like the WSJ believes its value — as well as its self-esteem — comes from being the place you go for news. It covers the stories worth covering, and the stories tell you what you need to know. It is thus a stopping point in the ecology of information. And that’s the oeprational definition of authority: The last place you visit when you’re looking for an answer. If you are satisfied with the answer, you stop your pursuit of it. Take the links out and you think you look like more of an authority. To this mindset, links are sign of weakness...." |
| Posted: 01 Mar 2012 06:53 AM PST Impact of Social Sciences, (24 Feb 2012) "One of the recurring themes (from many different contributors) on the Impact of Social Science blog is that a new paradigm of research communications has grown up – one that de-emphasizes the traditional journals route, and re-prioritizes faster, real-time academic communication in which blogs play a critical intermediate role. They link to research reports and articles on the one hand, and they are linked to from Twitter, Facebook and Google+ news-streams and communities. So in research terms blogging is quite simply, one of the most important things that an academic should be doing right now. But in addition, social scientists have an obligation to society to contribute their observations to the wider world – and at the moment that’s often being done in ramshackle and impoverished ways, in pointlessly obscure or charged-for forums, in language where you need to look up every second word in Wikipedia, with acres of ‘dead-on-arrival’ data in unreadable tables, and all delivered over bizarrely long-winded timescales. So the public pay for all our research, and then we shunt back to them a few press releases and a lot of out-of-date academic junk...." |
| Open Biology's first few months Posted: 01 Mar 2012 06:47 AM PST Open Biology 2 (2), (01 Feb 2012) "When we launched Open Biology late last year, our goal was to offer a high-quality, open access journal that met the needs of scientific researchers working in biology at the molecular and cellular level. I feel that we are well on our way to achieving this goal and wish to update you on the progress we have made so far....The challenge with a new journal is to build and maintain momentum. Since launching, we have published a relatively small number of articles. However, I am very pleased with the quality and potential impact of the articles published so far....By launching Open Biology, the Society continues to demonstrate its support for open access publishing. The journal will be funded by charges for articles accepted for publication. Since launch, we have offered a promotional waiver for these charges. However, in order to make publication sustainable, these charges will apply for accepted papers submitted from 1 March. I would like to take this opportunity to explain a little about how this works....Another means of funding open access publication is institutional open access membership. Such memberships allow institutions to pay an annual fee and in return researchers at the institution receive a discount to the article processing charge. The Royal Society has recently launched membership programmes for all its journals, including Open Biology...." |
