| Wikis and Online Information Aggregation Systems as a Model for Survey Research Posted: 09 Mar 2012 07:14 PM PST Aaron Shaw's weblog, (04 Mar 2012) "Matt Salganik and Karen Levy (both of the Princeton Sociology Department) recently released a working paper about what they call “Wiki Surveys” that raises several important points regarding the limitations of traditional survey research and the potential of participatory online information aggregation systems to transform the way we think about public opinion research more broadly. Their core insight stems from the idea that traditional survey research based on probability sampling leaves a ton of potentially valuable information on the table...." |
| Good News for Open Access, Bad News for PLoS? Posted: 09 Mar 2012 07:08 PM PST Deep Thoughts and Silliness, (08 Mar 2013) "The traditional publishing houses (Wiley, Springer, Elsevier and the like) all have a stable of middle-ranking journals which can act as feeders for the OA mega-journal. This gives them an advantage - they can use the reviews they already have, and the author doesn't need to reformat the manuscript, just say "yes", pay the (about) same charge and get the acceptance sooner. So the publishers can reduce costs (and even engage in predatory pricing, if they so wish). Now, this leaves PLoS in a sticky situation. Their other journals are too high ranking, so they can't feed the PLoS ONE monster effectively...." |

| ARL Policy Notes, Finally, An Easy-ish Question Posted: 09 Mar 2012 11:19 AM PST policynotes.arl.org "Does anything in Section 108 of the Copyright Act in any way affect the right of fair use as provided by Section 107?...“Nothing in this Section in any way affects the right of fair use as provided by section 107.” So libraries (and anyone else) have the same fair use rights under Section 107 as they would have if Section 108 did not exist. The scope of those rights is still up for debate (though I can recommend some resources that will help sort things out), but we know one thing for sure: fair use is completely separate from Section 108. Settled beyond rational dispute, right? You’d think so. In what seems like a Swift-ian satire masquerading as a legal brief, the Authors Guild argues that, in fact, despite 108(f)(4), everything in Section 108 comprehensively affects the right of fair use as provided by Section 107, at least for libraries...." |
