The siren call of declaring email bankruptcy...so tempting...

I was just in a presentation on time management where she suggested giving up on anything older than a couple months and moving 2 months-current into a separate inbox and see what comes back around.

wow. radical (truly)

I've already deleted everything more than two months old and tossed out anything that isn't critical-should-have-been-responded-to-yesterday. This leaves 350 items growing at approximately 40 per day (after similar weeding...) #wibble

There have been a lot of electrons spilled over the Elsevier Acquisition of Mendeley. I don’t intend to add too much to that discussion but it has provoked for me an interesting train of thought which seems worth thinking through. For what its worth my views of the acquisition are not too dissimilar to those of Jason Hoyt and John Wilbanks, and I recommend their posts. I have no doubt that the Mendeley team remain focussed on their vision and I hope they do well with it. And even with ...

.@PabloK Definitely believe we need a new social contract (contracts?) for 21C research. And that is definitely political in its core sense.
.@KamilaMarkram Great to hear, but also hope @frontiersin can have same transforming impact within #NPG that BMC has inside Springer
Key q is how this will be integrated with SciRep. Obvious set of experiments to be done here but how fast will they go? #openaccess #npg
It seems that @FrontiersIn may have shown NPG how they can make Nature an #openaccess journal http://www.frontiersin.org/news... This is big news.

#oaintheuk Both the EU and US policies do provide funds for publication. The differences are smaller than people make out...
#oaintheuk Of course all of this also applies to existing copyright transfer. Many copyright transfers probably not well founded
Been pointed that the Danish have misplaced the copy of the Swan/Houghton report online http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/272603... #oaintheuk #repositoriesFTW
To David Sweeney's point. PLOS growing 40% year on year, BMC similar growth. PLOS published 11% of Wellcome Trust work in 2012 #oaintheuk
Worth noting in terms of international focus that the #FASTR bill also has a focus on re-use and checking it is happening #oaintheuk
Also good data that there are access problems on issues with economic impacts such as this report http://pewinternet.org/Reports... #oaintheuk
Here is one piece of evidence on economic impact. Lack of access costs Danish SMEs significant quantities http://knowledge-exchange.info/Default... #oaintheuk
RT @rmounce: This is a more representative plot of APC prices http://rossmounce.co.uk/2012... #OAintheUK $3000 is very HIGH. not average. Mode is £0
Selective in two ways, volume, and many jrnls don't charge RT @rmounce: Russell (OUP) is showing a rather selective graph of APCs #OAintheUK
Of course thats 550 articles at £1650 per article on average...he's absolutely right we need mechanisms to keep prices down #oaintheuk
David Price says there is a desperate need for improved #openaccess metadata for hybrid journals #oaintheuk #niso #oametadata
Some key points from David Sweeney's talk. Immediate deposit; focus on access, not mechanism; no implications for REF2014 #oaintheuk
