SSRN Q&A: John Peters (GSE Research)
Sustainability is one of the hottest areas of scholarly research, and SSRN’s newest research network. GSE Research sponsors our Sustainability Research Policy Network.

Remixing Scholarly Research
Kirby Ferguson is a quirky New York-based filmmaker with an interesting idea. He wanted to show copying was often part of the creative process by providing popular examples of remixed content. The research and examples from different types of media have been aggregated into an extremely well done, short video series titled Everything Is [...]
Information Overabundance: What We Don’t Know, We Don’t Know
A few months ago, Peter Shepherd, Project Director at Project COUNTER, asked me to contribute an article to Against The Grain (librarians, publishers and vendors) for their Special Issue on Metrics – The Importance of Being Measured. I wrote about article level metrics at SSRN and how we view the changing world of information overabundance. [...]
Riding Two Surfboards, Historically Speaking
Robert B. Townsend, assistant director for research and publications at the American Historical Association (AHA), wrote about the recent AHA survey exploring the current state of new media in their field. The findings are a very good example of what we’ve been seeing across the Humanities at SSRN; a large percentage of users with general [...]

How Do We Make Open Access More Accessible?
In the November 2002 Open Archives Forum’s Interim Review of Organisational Issues, a concern was raised about Europe’s role in adopting Open Archives Initiative’s (OAI) protocols and standards because of “the preponderance of U.S. members, and the dependence on U.S. sources of funding for the OAI.” This concern appears to have been met head on [...]

A Beacon for the Future: 21st Century Libraries
When John Palfrey wrote his keynote for this year’s Computer Assisted Legal Instruction’s (CALI) 19th Annual Conference for Law School Computing about the legal education revolution, I doubt he included anything about the technological revolution occurring in Iran. However, Palfrey, Professor of Law and Vice Dean of Library and Information Resources at Harvard Law School, [...]

Engagement Not Enrichment. Imagination Not Incorporation.
In scholarly research, there are many differences between the practices of the Scientific Technical and Medical (STM) disciplines and the Social Science and Humanities (SS&H) disciplines. According to a report commissioned by the JSTOR, “Scholarly Communications in the Biosciences Discipline,” journal articles are the primary focus of literature searches during research in the STM disciplines.
