  1. Math and biostats are the shortest. History is the longest. Nobody is suprised.
  2. I'm pretty sure nearly all incentives are perverse.

  3. Awesome. Not open access but, at least in the medium term, a positive way to address issues of access to the academic resources necessary to write a great encyclopedia.
  4. Looks interesting and reminds me a bunch of Andy Abbott's book on Methods of Discovery. I should go back and read that one again...
  5. Move to article-based metrics people.
  6. This is a really nice article.
  7. ACM is being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the open access world.
  8. Page length distribution.
  9. This is pretty opaque, but I think it is really pretty great.
  10. Another paper showing a positive effect of OA publishing on impact.
  11. Oliver is in my cohort at MIT! Congrats on the profile!
  12. Nice orgtheory argument about what makes for a good theory about how to tell/test.
  13. Zittrain's system for storing links from academic law review articles.
  14. "For several years Georgia State was involved in litigation over the fair use doctrine. Specifically a consortium of publishers backed by Oxford, Cambridge and Sage sued Georgia State over copyright violations by many of the faculty. A decision has now been rendered. The Court backed Georgia State in almost every instance, finding no copyright violation. However, the Court did lay down some rules - in particular you can use no more than 10% or one chapter, whichever is shorter, of any book."
  15. This is a sad story. Departments started advocating for Interfolio because it was cheap and made the life of the faculty easier. Now prices are jacked up for the students and folks are stuck. Stay away from these proprietary systems.
  16. Introduction to a theoretically very efficient system for writing academic papers
  17. Interesting project, but it's built on top of Mendeley. :-(
  18. Really nice advice on how to write a good review. Not all (any?) of my reviews have been this good. I'll try to fix that in the future!
  19. Wait, is SAGE, the major academic publisher, encouraging authors to increase citations to their articles by adding them to as many Wikipedia articles as possible?
  20. (Another) search engine for scholarly work.
