I think it should absolutely go on the wikipedia article in draft. I will add a section to the tables for article numbers. On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 1:03 PM, Marc Joffe wrote: > Kyra > > ** ** > > Thanks for your interesting posts on this topic. I read the Berkeley > blog post with special in

Re: [okfn-discuss] Help make a comparison of open access journals on Wikipedia

I think this is a great idea. Wiki* is increasingly going to underpin scholarship (academia has not done a very good job). You should keep in touch with DOAJ (directory of OA journals). It's been relaunched. They have been patchy up to now, but may gte more comprehensive in the future. Possibiliti

Re: [okfn-discuss] Help make a comparison of open access journals on Wikipedia

Kyra, How would you classify pubmed central? They are open access (often single articles of opt in etc.) And licensing seems really unclear. Michael On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 12:42:45PM -0500, Kẏra wrote: > Thanks for the crosspost. I've converted the list to tables and have an > example one at t

[okfn-discuss] Open Alternatives to JSTOR and Gated Academic Journals

Kyra Thanks for your interesting posts on this topic. I read the Berkeley blog post with special interest – since I live in Northern California and my step son is a student there. One resource I haven’t seen referenced is the Social Science Research Network (http://www.ssrn.com). Thi

Re: [okfn-discuss] Help make a comparison of open access journals on Wikipedia

Thanks for the crosspost. I've converted the list to tables and have an example one at the top of the page. If we could get everyone to help copy in more journals (especially ones using a free license) and more data on the journals this could be ready to publish soon! On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 10:3

Re: [okfn-discuss] How to honor Aaron Swartz

It's definitely within the scope of the project. I've stumbled upon a couple of summaries recently, but a lot of expansion should happen to organize and make this a better effort. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Reading_log_McRuer,_Tatum,_Hj%C3%B6rne_%26_S%C3%A4lj%C3%B6 https://en.wikiversity.org/

Hi Kyra For cross referencing or adding to to the Wikipedia list, you might find this spreadsheet of publishers useful (by Ross Mounce and the OKFN open science working group): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbO6mZEvieCdDFzdkVNQld6Mnc5NEpGWVlRUVhvM3c#gid=0 Ross also has another doc

[okfn-discuss] Help make a comparison of open access journals on Wikipedia

Sorry for sending three emails in a row, I hadn't updated my email address so previous messages to the list were stuck in moderation and I just resent them. Anyways... Does anybody want to help me turn Wikipedia's list of OA journals into a comparison using tables that show ? * Whether the journa

[okfn-discuss] How to honor Aaron Swartz

I wonder if there's a way we could promote libre knowledge (which is freely licensed and in free formats) over individuals just posting links to their work. "Posting our PDFs is all fine and good, but the real way to honor Aaron Swartz is to combat this pervasive institutional fecklessness and do
