| Publishers: Finch report must tackle "green model" risks | The Bookseller Posted: 14 May 2012 06:19 PM PDT www.thebookseller.com "The length of the embargo period built into the "green" model for journal publishing will be a crucial issue in the forthcoming report from the Finch Working Group, say publishers....Sage deputy m.d. Ziyad Marar said: "Finch will have to find a balance to enable the publishing industry to continue while optimising the amount of access. Not all disciplines have the same half-life; Finch will have to recognise that the humanities and social sciences have a longer lifespan than science...." Wim van der Stelt, executive vice-president of corporate strategy at Springer, said the publisher wanted the embargo period...to be "a minimum of a year." ...Springer "strongly" prefers the gold model, said van der Stelt. "The material is immediately available for free, there are no restrictions on the use of it and it is more sustainable, so it works better for both parties," he said...." |
| ikosom goes OpenScience! Was ist OpenScience? Posted: 14 May 2012 06:14 PM PDT Institut für Kommunikation in sozialen Medien, (02 May 2012) From Google's English: "From the beginning we wanted to pursue science as a startup and have renounced the traditional structure of science. We are happy to cooperate in studies with the Fraunhofer Institute, universities and individual scientists. What we want is not to be monopolized or limit us due to structural requirements of our flexibility. On exams and evening meetings, we often think about it, to develop themselves while ikosom. The road is still not entirely clear - but we have opened ourselves as a first step , and gained additional experts for specific topics.

| Online test bank raises copyright issues | Inside Higher Ed Posted: 14 May 2012 06:07 PM PDT www.insidehighered.com "Alex Baldwin saw a need. As a freshman at the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2007, he said, his fraternity’s paper test files were too hard to track down. So, with a friend’s help, he scanned many of those files and started a password-protected website. Before long, the password was removed and Baldwin invited fraternities at other colleges to scan and post their own test collections for the world to see. Thousands were visiting the site, which in January changed its name to Fratfolder.com and continues to solicit submissions. Some students are receiving e-mail promotions for the service right now, as finals loom. Such files are already widespread within Greek houses, Baldwin said, so why not make them available for anyone? ..." |

| Accesses versus citations: Why you need to measure both to assess publication impact Posted: 14 May 2012 11:45 AM PDT 8th Annual Meeting of ISMPP, Baltimore, MD, April 23-25, 2012, (Apr 2012) Poster paper. Abstract OBJECTIVE: Article accesses and citations provide 2 metrics to assess article impact. However, the relationship between the 2 is not constant or well understood. We investigated the relationship between article accesses and citations in 3 general medicine journals with different journal rankings. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We collected the numbers of article accesses and citations from a representative selection of original research articles published in 2009 and 2010 in 3 peer-reviewed, international, online- only, open-access journals: PLoS Medicine, BMC Medicine, and the International Journal of General Medicine (IJGM) (SCImago journal ranking 1.04, 0.49, and 0.06, respectively). RESULTS: The sample included 104 articles (2 outliers were excluded). CONCLUSION: The relationship between article accesses and citations varies, with the highest ratio of citations:access for journals with the highest journal ranking. For open-access journals with a low impact factor, overall article reach may be higher than expected on the basis of citations. |
