r att universitetsbiblioteket åtagit sig att distribuera Actas böcker. Detta sker genom att böckerna kan beställas direkt från bibliotekskatalogen eller Actas hemsida. I stället för att böcker trycks i stora upplagor och sedan distribueras från lager, har vi bestämt att alla böcker ska tryckas först när de beställs. Denna distribution kallas också "print-on-demand". alla titlar ska fulltextpubliceras i Digitala Vetenskapliga Arkivet (DiVA). Fulltextpubliceringen Open Access innebär stor exponering för publikationerna. Erfarenheterna från vår tidigare distributör visar att de titlar som är sökbara i fulltext på Internet också hörde till dem som såldes i fler tryckta exemplar.
In a world increasingly muddled by the proliferation of information, how can anyone hope to filter, organize, curate, and make sense of it all? That’s the job of data scientists, an emerging professional specialty in the information field. An introduction to the discipline—along with a sampling of what a data science education is like—is the crux of a new e-book by School of Information Studies (iSchool) professor and Associate Dean for Research and Doctoral Programs Jeffrey M. Stanton.
2019 How librarians, pirates, and funders are liberating the world’s academic research from paywalls. Featuring Elaine Westworth, Aileen Fyfe, Theodora Bloom et al
"What’s standing in the way of a full-on revolution? The culture of science. "
"But there’s a big thing getting in the way of a revolution: prestige-obsessed scientists who continue to publish in closed-access journals. They’re like the road workers who keep paying fees to build infrastructure they can’t freely access. Until that changes, the walls will remain firmly intact."
Scientists reject Harper gov't claims vital material is being saved digitally. By Andrew Nikiforuk, 23 Dec 2013, TheTyee.ca "Scientists say the closure of some of the world's finest fishery, ocean and environmental libraries by the Harper government has been so chaotic that irreplaceable collections of intellectual capital built by Canadian taxpayers for future generations has been lost forever."

"Librarians are not exactly presenting a unified voice in discouraging the use of pirated content. Some librarians do, of course, both try very hard to help their patrons understand the law and strongly encourage them to respect the legal rights of copyright holders, and in so doing actively discourage the use of pirate portals like Sci-Hub. Others, however — including prominent and influential figures in the profession — explicitly avoid taking such a stance. For example, Kevin Smith (Dean of Libraries at the University of Kansas) has publicly suggested that copyright infringement isn’t really morally problematic at all; Jeff Mackie-Mason (University Librarian and Professor of Information and Economics at the University of California) maintains that it’s “not for (the library) to say” how faculty and students should “behave vis à vis copyright laws.” To the extent that this attitude is widely shared among librarians, it suggests a major departure from past professional attitudes and practice. (My own institution, for example, is one of many that continue to employ a Scholarly Communication and Copyright Librarian, one of whose primary duties is to help students and faculty members understand copyright law and encourage them not only to assert their own rights as readers and researchers, but also to respect the rights of copyright holders.)"

For the sake of global scientific progress, human development, and poverty alleviation, it is surely time to end the slavery of traditional publishing.
The latest strategy for addressing the serials crisis that has fueled the crisis in scholarly publishing across the disciplines is the establishment of transformative open access agreements.
March 16, 2021
The agreement is the largest of its kind in North America to date, bringing together UC, which generates nearly 10 percent of all U.S. research output, and Elsevier, which disseminates about 17 percent of journal articles produced by UC faculty. The deal will double the number of articles made available through UC’s transformative open access agreements.
"In 1998, the Library of Congress announced that it would permanently archive her papers." Internationally renowned evolutionary biologist and author Lynn Margulis, a Distinguished University Professor of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a National Medal of Science recipient, died Nov. 22 at her home in Amherst. She was 73. Margulis was best known for her theory of symbiogenesis, which challenges central tenets of neo-Darwinism. "the long-lasting intimacy of strangers"

Abstract. Since Swanson’s introduction of literature-based discovery in 1986, new hypotheses have been generated by connecting disconnected scientific literatures. In this paper, we present the general discovery model and show how it can be used for dru
