Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
No full textScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact

Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz
No full textMeiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz The cardinal fish Chileodipterus zonatus Smith and Radcliffe is a remarkably similar appearing mimic of this species (Smith-Vaniz et al. 2001). The same color photograph of Meiacanthus vittatus given in Allen et al. (2003: 339) is here reproduced as Fig. 8. An excellent color photograph of this species also appears in Eichler and Myers (1997: 373). Two additional specimens of M. geminatus are available from Sabah, and agree well with Smith- Vaniz's (1987) expanded description of the species: WAM P. 30403 -006 (47.0 mm SL, female) and WAM P. 30409 - 0 0 4 (44.9 mm SL, male). The second author also observed this distinctive species at two additional locations at northeastern Kalimantan, Indonesia (2 ° 20.804 'N, 118 ° 11.031 'E and 1 ° 32.378 'N, 118 ° 23.443 'E) during a survey in 2003.Published as part of Smith-Vaniz, William F. & Allen, Gerald R., 2011, Three new species of the fangblenny genus Meiacanthus from Indonesia, with color photographs and comments on other species (Teleostei: Blenniidae: Nemophini), pp. 39-58 in Zootaxa 3046 on page 45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27887

The Siege of Vicksburg: Climax of the Campaign to Open the Mississippi River, May 23 – July 4, 1863
No full textReviewer Thomas F. Army writes that in The Siege of Vicksburg: Climax of the Campaign to Open the Mississippi River, May 23 – July 4, 1863, author Timothy B. Smith followed John Keegan’s dictate that military historians should produce analysis that goes beyond “colored maps,” Though Smith dedicates considerable attention to the tactical and strategic elements of the siege, he balances his technical analysis with an examination of the human suffering the siege begat.
