[GOAL] Re: {Disarmed} {Disarmed} Open Access to Research Outputs - Materials?

[Brian Lynch]

How about Open Access to the samples of academic research samples in the 
various chemistry departments across he world? In general these are not 
adequately indexed, or indexed at all.  The US Molecular Libraries Program 
[MLP] and the pan-European Innovative Medicines Initiative [IMI] are 
exceptions. I am attempting to develop a Canadian National Chemical Compound 
Registry, but progress is not fast.

Materials?

Dear All,

I am aware that this group/forum is discussing about the Research Outputs - 
Scholarly Communications. But I want some to direct me to a forum which is 
discussion on Open Access to Publicly Funded Research Outputs - Materials like 
seeds, plants, genes, GMOs etc please.

Thanks  Regards
Sridhar

National Journals?

[Brian Lynch]

Authors' publishing preferences

Once upon a time, scientists in federal government service in Canada
and academics in Canadian universities, were encouraged by stated policy
and by a tendency to support one's own journal, to publish in the
appropriate Canadian Journal of Your Discipline [all of which were
published by the National Research Council Press [a federal government
agency]]. This preference seems to have disappeared. One apparent
consequence is that the number of pages published annually in the Canadian
Journal of Chemistry has declined steadily from approx. 4800 in 1969
to around 2000 in 2003.  Is this typical of national journals other
than those published by ACS or RSC?  Is it confined to the discipline
of chemistry?

Re: PubMed Central OAI-compliance

[Brian Lynch]

In November 2003, PubMed Central announced the free availability of
open-source software to journal publishers and/or archivers, that enables
a standardized Journal Archiving and Interchange Document Type Definition
[JAIDTD] to be employed for all archives of biomedical journals, and
for the original electronic publications. Their intention is that JAIDTD
would become a universal publication standard.

PubMed Central [http:pubmedcentral.nih.gov] aims to become a centralized
digital archival library that provides free access to the full text of
all peer-reviewed life-science [including biomedical] research articles
- in essence, a full-text version corresponding to the MedLine [PubMed]
abstracts. Ideally, all self-archiving or institutional archiving would
follow this standard.

Our questions:

How many institutions archiving publications of their researchers,
and/or self-archivers of their own publications, have [or will have]
adopted JAIDTD, or are we risking a new Tower of Babel through a variety
of archiving formats that are only partially interconvertible?
