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. What I was most impressed with in Bilder’s talk was the list of new projects, such as TOI DOI (a DOI shortener). I have often thought [...]

Recommendation Functionality
Do you want to know what other users that have your same interests are reading? The Social Science Research Network’s database has a “recommendation functionality” (a.k.a “People who downloaded this paper also downloaded…”) that will tell you just this. Our recommendation function gives a user a list of papers that have been downloaded by other [...]
SSRN Development – CiteReader
In 2008, SSRN released CiteReader and Reference Technology into their Beta labs. CiteReader captures references from the papers in the SSRN eLibrary. These references are then verified and linked to the cited papers in the eLibrary. Currently, CiteReader and Reference Technology are accessible to all registered SSRN Users. Registration is free at SSRN’s User HeadQuarters. [...]

Recent SSRN Development Project – eLibrary Viewer
One of the biggest challenges in scholarly research today is wading through the growing mountain of content. We fully acknowledge there is an overabundance of information in scholarly research today and are working hard to make searching and sifting through the content contained in our eLibrary much easier. Since we received ~50,000 submissions last year, [...]

Commenting Added to ERPN
Last month, we beta tested abstract “commenting” functionality on all abstracts in our Cognitive Science Network (CSN). With the initial success and positive feedback, we added the functionality to all abstracts in our Entrepreneurship Research and Policy Network (ERPN). This feature expands the possibilities and conversations based on scholarly research in the SSRN eLibrary. We [...]
Recent SSRN Development Project – Commenting Functionality
As part of “narrowing the distance” between authors and readers, we are beta testing “commenting” on all public abstract pages in our Cognitive Science Network. As I said in a previous post, “…as scholarly research has moved from a model of scarcity to one of information overabundance, content is no longer king. The conversation that [...]
Re-innovating at SSRN
When I look at the SSRN Community, I am excited and motivated by the challenges and possibilities in front of us. We need to be innovative and responsive to the changing needs of our community, but have to deal with the harsh realities of a terrible economy and limited development resources. However, I hope we [...]
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 [...]
