APE 2010: What We Don’t Know We Don’t Know
Earlier this year I had the pleasure of speaking at Academic Publishing Europe (APE 2010) at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences about article level metrics. APE 2010 was a very interesting conference with a wonderfully diverse audience. The sharing was open and the discussions were quite frank, especially considering the number of competitors in the [...]

CrossRef Creating Impressive Tools
Geoff Bilder, CrossRef‘s Director of Strategic Initiatives, and others discussed Trust during their CrossRef Annual Meeting presentations earlier this week and I’ll discuss more on this topic next week.

However, Palfrey, Professor of Law and Vice Dean of Library and Information Resources at Harvard Law School, [...]
Is it really a Brave NOW World?
“Brave NOW World” was the theme at the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP) Annual Meeting in Baltimore last week where several ideas were presented for new publishing models and technologies. Geoffrey Bilder (CrossRef) returned this year proselytizing the same model he presented at last year’s meeting. In his usual dry, in-your-face style, he revisited his [...]

Several years ago I sat in a keynote session where a publisher was explaining their incredibly high first copy costs and justifying them based on the value they provided [...]
