Public Library of Science: Open Access The Case for Open Access Open Access (OA) stands for unrestricted access and unrestricted reuse. Here’s why that matters. Most publishers own the rights to the articles in their journals. Anyone who wants to read the articles must pay to access them. Anyone who wants to use the articles in any way must obtain permission from the publisher and is often required to pay an additional fee. Although many researchers can access the journals they need via their institution and think that their access is free, in reality it is not. Paying for access to content makes sense in the world of print publishing, where providing content to each new reader requires the production of an additional copy, but online it makes much less sense to charge for content when it is possible to provide access to all readers anywhere in the world. PLOS Takes a Different Approach PLOS applies the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to works we publish. Benefits of Open Access Research Accelerated discovery.
Oxford Journals | Life Sciences | Systematic Biology Accelerating Future There isn’t enough in the world. Not enough wealth to go around, not enough space in cities, not enough medicine, not enough intelligence or wisdom. Not enough genuine fun or excitement. What we need is more . There is a bare minimum that we should demand out of the future. 1) More space 2) More health 3) More water 4) More time 5) More intelligence First off, we need more space . There is actually a lot of space on this earth. New journal “Nature ONE” launched today It’s very unusual for me to post two blog posts in a single day, and even more so when both posts are based on press releases by the same organization. But this is important news for everybody interested in scholarly publishing. In a press release earlier today, the Nature Publishing Group announced a new journal that is covering biology, chemistry, earth sciences and physics,is an open access journal, giving the authors the choice of two Creative Commons non-commercial licenses,will publish all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original, anduses article-level metrics to put the emphasis on the individual article rather than the journal as a whole. The new journal is called Scientific Reports, and obviously resembles PLoS ONE in many ways, down to the article-processing charges which are $1350 for both journals (but will go up to $1700 for Scientific Reports in 2012). The launch of Scientific Reports is a good sign that PLoS ONE is doing something right.
Tietysti Kuukauden tutkija Auringon hiukkassade vaikuttaa ilmakehään Akatemiatutkija Annika Seppälä haluaa saada ilmastomalleihin niistä puuttuvan paikallisissa mittakaavoissa oleellisen tiedon – sen, miten Auringosta tulevat hiukkaset vaikuttavat ilmakehän kemialliseen koostumukseen.

Kannattaa tutustua Ikuisesti yhdessä – kaksoishautausten tulkintaa Suomessa hautaustapojen tutkimus on aiemmin keskittynyt pääasiassa polttohautauksen ja ruumishautauksen toisistaan erottamiseen, haudan rakenteisiin sekä hauta-antimien tulkintaan.

The Conversation: In-depth analysis, research, news and ideas from leading academics and researchers. Research & Development | Technologies & Strategies That Enable Research & Development 44 tips cards for photographers to cut out and keep or browse on your phone! Digital Camera magazine has been putting pop-out tips cards on its covers for dozens of issues (find out how to subscribe below), so we thought why not put our favorites online? We've picked out a selection of cards to keep you busy during the coronavirus crisis, and they include camera theory, tips for portraits and people shots, ideas for things to photograph in the garden and little projects you can tackle at home. They've been sized specially for easy on-screen viewing, and not just on a desktop computer but on the smaller screen of a tablet or a smartphone. And if you can't easily read the text on your phone, just turn it sideways. For those who prefer paper to pixels, see our diagram below.
