Thanks to John Dupuis at Confessions of a Science Librarian, this blog has received an honor. Science Resources is now listed and aggregated among the top science and technology librarianship blogs at FriendFeed in a group called Scitech Librarians. So, if you have an interest in science resources as well as issues and the latest in science/technology librarianship, be sure to follow Scitech Librarians or add it to your RSS feed reader.
Open Access Week is over, but here are a few additional resources:
Bailey, Charles W. Jr. Open Access Bibliography: Liberating Scholarly Literature with E-Prints and Open Access Journals, 2005. Covering 1999 through 2004, this bibliography lists over 1,300 items (books, conference papers, debates, editorials, e-prints, journal and magazine articles, news articles, technical reports, and other print and online resources). Links are provided to sources that are freely available. Access is provided by a table of contents, author and title indexes, and a search engine. This bibliography is the basis for the Bibliography of Open Access, available on the Simmons College OAD wiki.
Bailey, Charles W. Jr. Open Access Journals Bibliography, version 1, 2010. This bibliography includes mostly scholarly journal articles and books from 1999 to the present. Links to freely available items are included. A table of contents and a search engine provide access.
OAD [Open Access Directory]. Hosted by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College, the OAD is a compendium of open access information in wiki format. It includes acronyms, blogs, disciplinary repositories, discussion forums, free journal management software, educational materials, guides for publishers, institutions that support OA, speaker’s bureau, statements by learned societies, videos, and volunteer opportunities.
SHERPA/RoMEO. The SHERPA/RoMEO Website is useful for finding publisher policies on the self-archiving of journal articles on the Web and in open access repositories.
Suber, Peter. SPARC Open Access Newsletter. “The purpose of Suber’s newsletter is share news and analysis of the open access movement, and to explore how the Web is transforming scholarly research and publication. It is free of charge and free of unnecessary licensing restrictions.“
Another important OA resources is the Directory of Open Access Repositories [OpenDOAR]. OpenDOAR lists and provides access to open access repositories around the world. In addition to the geographically-arranged listing, it is possible to search for repositories and search the repositories’ contents.
This is the second installment on open access resources for Open Access Week. The resource I would to highlight today is the Directory of Open Access Repositories [openDOAR}. OpenDOAR lists and provides access to OA repositories around the world. It is arranged geographically, and it is possible to search for repositories and search the repositories' contents.
Since this week is International Open Access Week, I thought I would highlight a few open access resources. The first is the Directory of Open Access Journalsl (DOAJ). DOAJ aims to be a comprehensive listing of open access scholarly journals that use a quality control system to guarantee the content. There are over 5,500 journals listed in DOAJ, which can be located by title or broad subject.
Information about International Open Access Week can be found here.
I will highlight more resources as the week progresses.
