all geared up for #okcon2011 tomorrow :>
finally arrived in Berlin after delayed flights. Glad I grabbed something at Heathrow, BA was only a tiny bag of nibbles!
Author Attitudes Towards Open Access Publishing http://www.intechweb.org/public_...
As they pointed out on liblicense- they asked oa authors about oa - Christina Pikas from iPhone
And they're still conflating OA with APC based business models but never mind. It's a slightly odd group of OA authors though as they're not necessarily ones that have sought out OA journals. - Cameron Neylon

First impressions of .@colwiz (http://www.colwiz.com/). Nice idea if I were just starting out, but I already have my endnote and papers libraries set up; google calendar working fine (for me and my group), academia.edu page and a webpage. I also don't have time to spend reimporting all this information and fixing the bugs :/
Could have potential with a critical mass of users though. - Anna Croft

Practice makes perfect and all that. I've not done any live stuff at all. Strikes me as moderately terrifying. - Cameron Neylon

A short note on traceability - http://akcscience.wordpress.com/2010...
I think there is an option within the ORCID framework to include contact information? Or conversely one could infer it from a publication track. Find the most recent paper with that person on it and grab associated email address? Actually a rather interesting set of issues here... - Cameron Neylon
True that you can do traces through previous publication track if necessary, but where the information is limited, this can be an issue - for example forward tracking of unlisted/untracked data (where the researcher themselves has failed to curate - currently an issue). There are a couple of advantages to a deinstitutionalised email address though that I was thinking up after making the... more... - Anna Croft
still trying to get petachem working in parallel on new gpu machine - suppliers of machine say might be sorted with new bios patch.
anyone have experience extracting >1000 starred items from google reader? I read the online helps but obviously the wrong ones as can't find the continuation XML that is discussed. Also wanted to see if could import these links (mostly papers) to Mendeley.
I don't have any particular experience but someone around here ought to. - Cameron Neylon
Thanks Neil - this was much better/more helpful than the other things google turned up for me. Now have my xml, and am ready to parse. Now to see how I can feed the info back to Mendeley ... (no experience [yet] with apis). - Anna Croft
