MKE (Hungarian Library Association) We should aim for open refereeing of academic articles in the information age James Hartley argues that new technology used for submitting papers to academic journals increases the possibilities for gathering data, analysing it and improving the refereeing process. My recent article (Hartley, 2012) on ‘Refereeing articles in the information age’ appears to have attracted some attention. I began by summarising some of the research on peer reviewing carried out before the advent of new technology (such as Scholar One) in this respect. I also noted that much more information is now available to editors (and researchers) about the performances of authors, referees and editors. With new technology private comments between referees and editors can be made available for study. I very much enjoyed reading this paper, and do not have any significant comments. It is always a joy to review manuscripts such as this. Through the mild: It is sad to see so much enthusiasm and effort go into analysing a dataset that is just not big enough. to the hostile: Papers Referees 1. 2. 3.

FESABID | Federación Española de Sociedades de Archivística, Biblioteconomía, Documentación y Museística CAIS-ACSI Opinion: Academic Publishing Is Broken Academic publishers are currently up in arms about the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA)—a bill that has the perfectly reasonable goal of making publicly funded research available to the public that funded it. Tom Allen, president of the American Association of Publishers, described it rather hysterically as “intellectual eminent domain, but without fair compensation.” Why are he and his colleagues so desperate to retain the current business model? By any objective standard, academic publishing is a very strange business indeed. Let's take a look at the flow of money in the production of research. At this point, researchers have worked together to produce a publication-ready, peer-reviewed manuscript. It's pretty outrageous. Since these publishers are effectively government subcontractors, you might think they would be subject to government regulation. In the face of the ludicrous status quo, it's no wonder that researchers are starting to turn to “Gold Open Access” publishing.
How to Find Anything Online: Become an Internet Research Expert Einstein once said, “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.” The same could be said of intelligence. What they don’t tell you is that the “smart” people of the world are, in most cases, just better at researching and learning things than everyone else. But researching is a learned skill, not something you’re born with. And while some people might be predisposed to learn things more easily than others, it’s generally not enough to make a measurable difference. By learning how to research, you can quickly and fairly easily become knowledgeable about just about anything. It’s all there, online, for free. Start with Wikipedia Whenever you try to learn something new on the Internet, start with Wikipedia. The main reason to start with Wikipedia is that it gives a good overview of most topics. Sure, any given page is bound to have some inaccuracies (as is the case on most user-generated websites), but most of the content is generally reliable. Move on to Google Go Multimedia
