Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
generalised-brown: Source code for AAAI 2016 paper
No full text<p>This is the first release of the generalised-brown software. It consists of two modules for constructing clusters of word types:</p>
<ul>
<li>The <em>merge_generator module</em> is an extension of Brown clustering (based on the C++11 implementation of wcluster) that tracks state in the form of a merge log</li>
<li>The <em>cluster_generator</em> is a python script that reconstructs the state of the Brown clustering algorithm from the merge log in order to vary the granularity of the output clusters.</li>

Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
No full textThis research evaluates the success of open access self-archiving in several well-known institutional repositories. Two assessment factors have been applied to examine the current practice of self-archiving: depositorship and the availability of full text. This research discovers that the rate of author self-archiving is low and that the majority of documents have been deposited by a librarian or administrative staff. Similarly, the rate of full-text availability is relatively low, except for Australian repositories. By identifying different practices of self-archiving, repository managers can create new strategies for the operation of their repositories and the development of archiving policies

Neoperla jigongshana Li & Li, sp. nov.
No full textNeoperla jigongshana Li & Li, sp. nov. ( Figs. 3–4) Male. Forewing length 16.0 mm. General body color brown. Distance between ocelli as wide as diameter of the ocellus. Head brown with median dark brown area covering ocellar triangle and forward paler M-line (Fig. 3 a); compound eyes black; antennae and mouthparts brown. Pronotum brown with lateral margins pale brown (Fig. 3 a); wing membrane brownish, veins dark brown; legs brown, femora with proximal part slightly paler (Fig. 3 d). Abdominal segments brownish, terminalia processes and cerci dark brown. Terminalia. Tergum 7 with posterior margin produced into a trapezoidal process, covered with many dorsal and distal sensilla basiconica (Figs. 3 b-c). Tergum 8 with a recurved process with small distal spines (Fig. 3 c). Tergum 9 without patches of sensilla basiconica or long hairs. Hemitergal processes of tergum 10 strongly sclerotized and finger like, with expanded base and sharp tip (Figs. 4 c). Aedeagal tube elongate and slender, ca. 4.3 mm long with heavily sclerotized dorsal band and an apical, elongate, finger-shaped ventral projection; apex of tube lacking Ylobes, but covered with fine spines (Figs. 4 a-b). Aedeagal sac length about one fourth of tube, apex curved ventrally and narrowing as a nipple like structure with minute granules on most of the surface (Figs. 3 e, 4 b). Female. Unknown. Type material. Holotype male (HIST): China: Henan Province, Xinyang City, Mount. Jigongshan, 31.8024 N, 114.0743 E, 2013. VI. 22, Weihai Li. Etymology. The species name refers to Mount Jigongshan, the collecting site for the holotype. Distribution. China (Henan Province). Diagnosis and remarks. The male of new species is characterized by an elongate aedeagal tube bearing a long single ventral lobe. It shares similar external terminalia and aedeagus with N. forcipata, as mentioned above, and N. furcostyla Li and Qin from Guangxi. In N. jigongshana, the ventral aedeagal lobe is straight and not bifurcate whereas in N. furcostyla and N. forcipata, they bear bent and bifurcate apex (Fig. 2 B, Li et al. 2013). Neoperla jigongshana also bears similar type of aedeagus to N. longwangshana Yang and Yang, 1988 from Zhejiang Province, but in that species, the ventral lobe of aedeagal tube is very short and triangular in shape (Fig. 6, Li et al. 2013).Published as part of Li, Weihai, Li, Shan, Feng, Guangwei & Wang, Yunbing, 2014, Species of Neoperla (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from Henan Province, China, pp. 174-182 in Zootaxa 3838 (2) on page 178, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3838.2.2, http://zenodo.org/record/22691
Atmospheres of brown dwarfs
No full textChH highlights financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant. SLC acknowledges financial support of University of LeicesterBrown Dwarfs are the coolest class of stellar objects known to date. Our present perception is that Brown Dwarfs follow the principles of star formation, and that Brown Dwarfs share many characteristics with planets. Being the darkest and lowest mass stars known makes Brown Dwarfs also the coolest stars known. This has profound implication for their spectral fingerprints. Brown Dwarfs cover a range of effective temperatures which cause brown dwarfs atmospheres to be a sequence that gradually changes from a M-dwarf-like spectrum into a planet-like spectrum. This further implies that below an effective temperature of ≲ 2800K, clouds form already in atmospheres of objects marking the boundary between M-Dwarfs and brown dwarfs. Recent developments have sparked the interest in plasma processes in such very cool atmospheres: sporadic and quiescent radio emission has been observed in combination with decaying Xray-activity indicators across the fully convective boundary.Peer reviewe
Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
No full textIn the age of information explosion and technological advancement, issues of information storage, organization, access, and evaluation have become necessarily important in our societies. Addressing issues of information literacy and designing how they can be best integrated in students' learning process are of critical importance. Library professionals in the United States, particularly in the academia, have realized the importance of information literacy and have attempted in various ways to address these issues. The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices. This article will look at ways of how information literacy can best be incorporated into students' academic experience, and how this process can make students' learning meaningful and successful. Specifically, the author will examine the model of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum, as demonstrated in the Ohio Five Colleges' Information Literacy Program.Publisher version of this article is available at: http://www.white-clouds.com/iclc/cliej/cl24.ht
An enhanced author name dataset for PubMed/MEDLINE
No full text<p>The incompleteness of author names is a well-known issue in the MEDLINE database. It was since 2002, the full author name has been systematically indexed in MEDLINE. Although many full author names have been added to MEDLINE, we still found a significant number of abbreviated names in papers published after 2002.</p>
<p>Here we built an enhanced author name dataset for MEDLINE, called EAN, achieved by linking the whole PubMed to other large literature databases and conducting a large-scale name comparison and restoration with obtained multi-sources author names. Our evaluation shows that more than 90% of author names in EAN are complete as compared to the ratio of ~60% in MEDLINE.</p>
