Ask TLS: is non-access to published literature a problem for those who have reviewed manuscripts? It never occurred to me until I had to review something, wanted to check a few references, and found them behind a pay-wall...
Tom Morris, Daniel Mietchen, Khader Shameer and 3 other people liked this
Is there a precedent for the journal reviewing a manuscript paying for reviewers to access subscription-only articles at other journals, or, heaven forbid, for reviewers to pay for access themselves? Or is it that reviewers check references so rarely that it just isn't an issue? When they do happen to come across one they don't have access to, do they just go "meh" and move on?
- Shirley Wu
Also, I suspect that since many reviewers are well-ensconced in the cozy surroundings of their institutional subscriptions, this occurs much much much less often for them than it would for a reviewer like me, who is not in academia...
- Shirley Wu
Despite my academia-level access, I frequently find myself unable to read references I want while reviewing. If they are essential to my understanding or my argument, I post to the RW room; if that fails I note in my review that I think [cite] is important but I was unable to access it. I suspect that most reviewers go with "meh" though...
- Bill Hooker
Thanks, Bill, those are good alternatives to going "meh" ;).

JMB give 30 day access to a large range of literature to their referees via a temporary account on Scopus.
- Iddo Friedberg
from Android
Kudos to JMB -- I'm surprised, because that is tacit acknowledgement that there's an access problem, which is something that most publishers deny.
- Bill Hooker
Reviewing for cross disciplinary journals can require access to many different journals. As Bill H notes, academia access is no guarantee of access.

Though it involves paying $$ -- Deep Dyve is what I've been recommending to health providers not associated with academic institutions. At $19.99/mo for unlimited access, it's not a bad price, though the site's received some negative reviews for its search engine. I haven't given it a try, though, so don't know how specific one needs to be to get to a precise article. This testing is on the list for the new year!
- Mickey Schafer
Just for fun, I ran "autism prosody" at Deep Dyve, and although the citation count was absurdly high, the first dozen or so articles are the same ones that come up in gopubmed or novoseek. A few articles were freely available.
- Mickey Schafer
I recently ran into this in a serious way reviewing facility proposals for a well known synchrotron. Some stuff out of my field and I really just wanted to check whether what was being proposed was novel. But I had no way to do that because I couldn't access the relevant literature.
- Cameron Neylon
Putting in author's name in the advanced filter worked to pull up a single article. It appears that it has to be last name, first name/initial, though there are no immediate instructions for that. In any case, may work for fast retrieval of an individual item for the purposes of checking sources (as opposed to downloading them). Don't know if they have a library or folder system which would be particularly useful for organizations.
- Mickey Schafer
Deep Dyve does have a bookmarking function -- didn't see that until I went to the sign up page. I realize this is not ideal OA by any means, but again, for non-academic practitioners, having a "rental" service is a good solution with significant cost savings compared to individual subscriptions to something like MD Consult.

- Bill Hooker
Paper access for a reviewer is indeed a problem! I have to admit, I often just go 'meh' and do a second-rate job, simply to save time. Which is just one of many reasons why for me the status quo of scientific publishing is the worst part of my job.
- Björn Brembs
from iPhone
Meh myself. By the time I put the paperwork in for interlibrary loan, it is activated, payment from my grant is approved, and the rest of the madness the deadline for the review would be way past gone.
- Kubke
Nice, I didn't notice the discussion here had expanded until Bill reshared. @Iddo, does JMB automatically provide instructions for the temporary Scopus account or do they wait for the reviewer to come to them with the problem? Still although there are workarounds like this, a lot of these solutions probably don't work too well with the modus operandi of most scientists... namely,...

from twhirl
I really like stackoverflow, but not sure you want a reputation system on FF. I kinda like the informal aspect of the whole thing.
- Deepak Singh
Hmm, you're probably right, I'm just keen to see any system reducing information noise, 'hide' is not enough IMHO.
- Piotr Byzia
from twhirl
@Piotr You mean something like this? http://tinyurl.com/89a5qu Also, I think Stack Overflow is awesome, though I'm a bit perplexed at why it works. http://tinyurl.com/c7n9bc
- Chris Lasher
The other difference is that on FF, your karma is contextual to an individual. In other words you control whom you hide, etc. The stack overflow system is global.
- Deepak Singh
@Chris Yes, I'm pretty sure tagging is a high priority on the FF developer's TODO and it will be convenient ones it's here. What I like about SO are suggestions (when writing your question) and community editing (tags, comments, questions, answers, pretty everything) so that there is endless improvements in content.
- Piotr Byzia
@Deepak Karma is no harm to anybody, ideally, you would be able to filter content by a particular karma level (i.e. 'show me comments from people with karma >1.5k) Add to this tags (... with tags: R;motifs) and create an RSS feed based on that...
- Piotr Byzia
@Chris Great post about SO! I agree on all points you made there, especially on "psychological carrot" in getting karma. But I would say that programmers active on SO are just aficionados of their tools (AKA geeks ;) ). Quite similar to who you can find on FF in some of their rooms ;-)
- Piotr Byzia
Dont like reputation based groups. Instead I prefer the old fashioned email based newsgroup. When I see a two page reply that is the perfect solution ..thats sheer altruism with no strings attached. I still turn to comp.lang.python or some googlegroup before SO
- Hari
I can't use mail based groups any more, even small internal groups. Too insular, and too much noise since email is such a bad medium here. Plus there is very limited google juice. The day of going to a site are going way.
- Deepak Singh
Wow, Hari, you dig deep in archive, this thread is from March ;-) I follow c.l.p. but only through RSS, for getting quick answers SO is the best, and quality is good enough to get things done.

I don't speak Persian, so I don't know all the searches, but there are still (luckily) a lot of Persian users posting: http://friendfeed.com/search.... If you are Persian and looking for updates, try our search engine to find the few users who still have access.
- Bret Taylor
Frode: and in Iran's case, they are run by conservative religious authorities and they don't like the fact that they are not in control of information flow like they used to be. They like to think they can still control information sources and, since they can't, they try to block places where their citizens can go to share information.

Iran restored cell phone service Sunday that had been down in the capital since Saturday. But Iranians still could not send text messages from their mobile phones, and the government increased its Internet filtering in an apparent attempt to undercut opposition voices.

I remember attending Apple's IIci announcement at the Universal Ampitheater in October 1990? Later in the day I met with Guy Kawasaki and discussed his ideas for a board game. I ordered a IIci on the developer's discount at just over $4600. I still have it and the copy of the check I used to pay for it.

Interesting how Apple has always worked so hard going after the college/university student market, especially in the context of the way they dominate sales of computers over the $1000 mark now. It's not only targeting young minds, it's also targeting young minds that are disproportionately likely to be wealthier than average in their careers and invest in themselves.

Scientific findings in a digital world: What is the genuine article? at the British Library on 22nd July (18.00 - 20.30) - http://network.nature.com/groups...

"Looking Good on Paper The gold standard of the peer-reviewed scientific paper has barely changed in form since its inception over 300 years ago. However, with more and more scientists communicating research findings in digital format in many different ways does the notion of the scientific ‘article’ itself remain relevant? Is the traditional research paper still the optimal format for the dissemination of the outputs of scientific research? If not, what are the alternatives? Video Killed the Methods Section More and more scientific findings are ‘born digital’. The traditional format of research article is being transformed into a multi-media digital object with linked content, video, audio, datasets and reader annotation. This raises new possibilities and challenges. How should these newer types of content be peer reviewed? Are researchers really able to make the most of them? Does a link to a dataset or image always provide sufficient context to enable informed re-use or validation?...

What's your favorite note-taking tool? We hope it's Evernote. Lifehacker wants to know: http://twurl.nl/iudsec

it's not desktop tool for me. It is webtool called diigo. It's integrated with browser both for taking notes on a web page(annotation) and retrieve them as bookmarks. Yes evernote has a nice OCR technology.

Jott for voice/txt notes. Evernote for pictures of labels, business cards and screen snaps.
- Jay Martin
Google Notebook.
- Morton Fox
It was Google Notebook but I am giving Evernote a go
- Mel Buckpitt
Evernote is it for me now. We're editing the demo now, will be up on Monday. Great stuff.
- Robert Scoble
Evernote definitely has the best functionality, I just haven't been able to push myself to start using it.
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Gee, sry but it's still a pen and paper.
- Adrienne Van Houten
Adrienne: that's because you haven't seen what Evernote can do.

Onenote most often, but Evernote is a good clip capture tool.

Evernote - use it every day. Notebooks need to have sections or chapters, and the Mac version needs to add audio recording, but otherwise it's great.
- Dean Terry
best notetaking for me is my moleskine for on hand, and jott when behind the wheel.

Notepad++ largely, but increasingly using Google Notebook.

Evernote. mostly use it to keep track of real estate listings. (used to use OneNote--haven't opened it in months!)
- Jasmin Smith
Franklin organizer. Paper is the best.
- Victor Ryden
Jott for voice notes, Evernote for pictures and text but iPhone produces very blurry and unusable business cards with Evernote so far, needs a focus-adjuster app to be effective.
- Sally Church
Google Notebook. Trying to find practical uses of Evernote. It still doesn't seem to have a collaborating notebooks feature.
- Chris Chua
mindjet mindmanager and moleskin
- adolfo foronda
evernote all the way. rich internet app with clients for most major PC and mobile platforms, and sync to cloud is quick and reliable. text deco of images is a nice bonus. they do need to spend some time observing the list features of OneNote and the search search ux of Spotlight - even the best apps can always improve.
- Jon Price
Right now it's Gmail and IMAP but I am playing with Evernote. I do have concerns though about trusting my info with your cloud. You're doing all the right things. It's just that you're new and I need to get to know you. I trust Gmail.

Honestly, a moleskine notebook and a decent pen. A recent development for me, but it's working great. I get WAY too distracted taking notes on a computer where there are so many fun things I could be doing with my spare seconds! :-)

I have a voice recorder on my mp3 player and on my phone, but I still mainly use a moleskine and a box of mechanical pencils. Old school, that's me.

Mail.app. Comes pre-installed. Easy to use. Notes are synchronised across all of my devices (Mac Mini, MacBook and iPhone). Notes are also available online via MobileMe. I don't need to wait for any app to launch since I always have Mail.app running anyway.

Just started using Feedly today. Very happy with it (as my google shared items feed here shows)
- Don Faulkner
Google just needs to add Feed item recommendations algorithms to Google Reader. And mix it up with some Google Open Social FriendConnect stuff, Google can buy friendfeed, and that will be it.
- Charbax
to tell you the truth, i haven't opened my RSS reader for months, too. And i'm not sure whether i will open it when i have time for reading long pieces of text. But Twitter - no, thanks. Friendfeed - yes, it looks more like a good news interface.
- Kirill Bolgarov
what a complete crock of you know what. I accept that Twitter is starting to act a lot like an RSS reader, and there's a place (and a positive place) for that. But you can't match a dedicated reader for the actual reading experience. Headlines do not convey the same message as the post.
