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 [...]
