I have been busy with grants and hacking so have been away from the blog. (Making good progress on new ways of inputting and displaying chemistry). Here is a very important set of papers which are all highly relevant to this blog. I had hoped to find time to comment on each individually, but for now here is the table of contents.
18:45 18/08/2007, Open Access NewsThe August issue of Cyberinfrasctructure Technology Watch (CTWatch) is devoted to The Coming Revolution in Scholarly Communication and Cyberinfractructure. All the articles are OA-related:
