Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional and National Open-Access Self-Archiving Mandates
No full textNo research institution can afford all the journals its researchers may need, so all articles are losing research impact (usage and citations). Articles made “Open Access,” (OA) by self-archiving them on the web are cited twice as much, but only 15% of articles are being spontaneously self-archived. The only institutions approaching 100% self-archiving are those that mandate it. Surveys show that 95% of authors will comply with a self-archiving mandate; the actual expe-rience of institutions with mandates has confirmed this. What institutions and funders need to mandate is that (1) immediately upon acceptance for publication, (2) the author’s final draft must be (3) deposited into the Institutional Repository. Only the depositing needs to be mandated; set-ting access privileges to the full-text as either OA or Restricted Access (RA) can be left up to the author. For articles published in the 93% of journals that have already endorsed self-archiving, access can be set as OA immediately; for the remaining 7%, authors can email the eprint in re-sponse to individual email requests automatically forwarded by the Repository

Journey to Ithaca
No full textJourney to Ithaca is an extraordinary memoir about an extraordinary life. Of its author it may well be said, in Shakespeare’s words (from Henry VI, part I, aptly quoted in the prelims): “Who would e’er suppose [he] had such courage and audacity?” From the outset, William Rowland invites his readers to accompany him along his personal journey to Ithaca. It was at Ithaca Mansions in Sea Point, Cape Town, that, at the age of five, a happy little boy lost his vision in consequence of a gunshot through his temple, severing his optic nerves. That was, definitively, the day the light went out. With enormous courage and determination William approached life head-on, achieving what many others might have found too daunting to attempt. Writing with restraint and dignity in Journey to Ithaca, William tells his life story in a series of short chapters marking significant stages and events of his life, recounting the challenges and the achievements in equal measure, and often with gentle humour. What shines through most strongly from this memoir is that at no time has William allowed his blindness to define or limit him and certainly never to deny him the fullness of experience and adventure encountered by the sighted. Intellectual, leader, innovator, activist, author, mentor, as well as loving father—William Rowland fills each of these roles with consummate ability and enthusiasm. His life story thus far, as told in Journey to Ithaca, will inspire all who read it, whether blind or sighted

F. Sherwood Rowland - Publications from Frank Sherwood ‘Sherry’ Rowland. 28 June 1927—10 March 2012
No full textSherry Rowland was a chemist who made substantial contributions in the fields of radiochemistry and atmospheric science. He is best known for his research on the stratosphere as, with Mario Molina, he wrote the seminal paper describing how chlorofluorocarbons deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, noting that any ozone depletion would be accompanied by a consequent increase in ultraviolet radiation at the earth's surface. In 1995 he, along with Paul Crutzen, was awarded the Nobel Prize for this ground-breaking work. Sherry's career was much more rounded than this brief précis suggests. His various roles included: manager of a semi-professional baseball team while in graduate school; founding chairman of the Chemistry Department at the University of California at Irvine (UCI); tireless and effective advocate for the need to take action on chlorofluorocarbon emissions and climate change; Foreign Secretary of the National Academy of Sciences; and last, but certainly not least, devoted husband, father and grandfather
Is there a relationship between organisational culture and the implementation and leadership of change?
No full textIt is widely asserted that a high proportion of change initiatives fail (e.g. Kotter, 1996; Author/s to be provided, 2000). Furthermore the success of initiatives involving cultural change is significantly lower (Smith, 2003). However, there is some debate around whether or not change can only be effected if organisational culture is also changed or that, for change to be successful it has to be positioned within the dominant organisational culture paradigm (e.g. Trompenaars & Wooliams, 2004). In a study by Author/s to be provided (2003) it was suggested that approaches to change based on an understanding of complexity, rather than an assumption of linearity, were more likely to be successful. Furthermore they identified the significance of leader behaviours in impacting on change success. In particular they indicated that leader-centric behaviours (Shaping) were negatively related to success. Behaviours focusing on creating a change framework and building capability (Framing) were positively related to success. In discussing these findings they indicated a need for further research to explore their results in differing organisational contexts. They also identified a need to explore the impact of differing organisational cultures on the findings. These two needs for research are the focus of this paper. The study reported involved collecting stories from change leaders in nine organisations. Whilst the Author/s to be provided (2003) framework was used to explore change approaches and leader behaviours, the construct of culture was operationalised using the Goffee and Jones (1998) model. The findings presented offer some support for the proposition that there is a relationship between culture, change approach, leadership behaviours and change success. However, the sample size does provide a limitation of the research and further exploration in future research is called for. <br/
