Policy| Scholarly Information, Resolution on Access to. U. of California Tries Just Saying No to Rising Journal Costs - Research. By Jennifer Howard The University of California system has said "enough" to the Nature Publishing Group, one of the leading commercial scientific publishers, over a big proposed jump in the cost of the group's journals. On Tuesday, a letter went out to all of the university's faculty members from the California Digital Library, which negotiates the system's deals with publishers, and the University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication. The letter said that Nature proposed to raise the cost of California's license for its journals by 400 percent next year. If the publisher won't negotiate, the letter said, the system may have to take "more drastic actions" with the help of the faculty.
Those actions could include suspending subscriptions to all of the Nature Group journals the California system buys access to—67 in all, including Nature. The pressure does not stop there. The letter was signed by Laine Farley, executive director of the California Digital Library; Richard A. Mr. English Language Teaching.

The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Access For All. Our professors do the research. They write the papers and proofread them. They even do the peer review. Then they sign the copyright over to publishers, who don’t pay them a dime—they’re paid by grants and salary, our taxes, and tuition.
Harvard then pays again for the journals—many of them over $10,000 each—and most of us feel personally the bite each term when we buy our sourcebooks. Many of these cost upwards of $100 not because they’re on paper rather than online (printing costs pennies a page), but because of the fees charged by publishers like Elsevier (1,387 journals ranging across academia) and Wiley (348 journals), some higher than $1 per page.
That’s three ways we pay for the same research, writing, proofreading, and peer review. This same issue of access to scholarship hits even harder on people outside of our well-funded elite universities. Change is slow, however, because this situation perpetuates itself.

Ruminations on science, data and computing by Deepak Singh If you don’t subscribe to Freelancing Science, you should » At the Scienceblogging conference , my favorite session was one on open science and publishing, led by Hemai Parathasarthy . Much of the discussion focused on the current publishing model and how it is evolving, what works and what doesn’t. Some of the discussion centered around why people published in journals like Nature and Science . From those threads and others, I made the comment that perhaps the future of publishing lies in a world where the role of Nature and Science and their abilities in managing reviewers and editorial staff becomes one of providing opinion and commentary on the best science.
I’d like to expand on that thought. Preprint servers will also play a huge role in the future as well (I have started using Nature Precedings quite a bit lately).

Vacuum - Edward Vielmetti in Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104: Cornell notes style lab book and Moleskine.
This is going to be a bit of a difficult post to write since I don't have the appropriate graphics tools (and I'm missing a scanner), but bear with me. I've been using the Cornell Notes system over the last couple of days to help me write longer and more interesting pages in my lab notebooks. The part of me that holds frugality dear wants to use the $1.59 8x10 cheap big quadrille lab books whenever possible in preference to the $10 3x5 Moleskine, especially when I'm writing somewhere that space is not at a premium. I'm following pretty much the same principles that I did on an earlier try on this, using columns and layout to sequester data and metadata into its own place, and to be consistent enough in what I'm doing that I can find stuff again while not being so consistent that I feel hemmed in.
The style is as follows: Top right corner: date, time, location, meal and cost if I'm out writing, weather if it's notable, any other quick reminder of where I was at the time. EJEL, Electronic Journal of eLearning.
