Bits of Blah

The original Dutch text:

Elsevier: geen onderhandelingen De onderhandelingen met Elsevier liggen stil. Elsevier wil alleen stappen maken richting open access wanneer de universiteiten daar dubbel voor betalen. Universiteiten moeten dan zowel voor het lezen als voor het publiceren betalen, dat budget is er niet.

My translation:

Elsevier: no negotiations The negotiations are on hold. Elsevier only wants to come forward if the universities pay twice. Universities must then pay for both reading access and for the submission; that budget is not available.

3. To which journals does the Springer deal apply?

[...]

Journals / publications by Springer Open and Biomed Central (about 400 journals). These are collections that are already fully open access. Therefore, for Dutch researchers publications are  fully freely accessible (reading) but for publication in these titles APCs need to be paid.

Last night I could no longer resist looking at the CiteULike plugin systems, and with some guidance and pointers from @citeulike on Twitter, and some great eco system they wrote, I managed to write in a few hours two plugins, one for figshare and the other for ZENODO. They are just first drafts, and hope to get some more feedback soon. Of course, it doesn't address the fact that CiteULike doesn't have a DataSet or Software types, so they are currently stored as GEN (aka @misc{}). But that is fine, because the citation consists of title, authors, year, and a link normally anyway.

Nature's ReadCube doesn't mean no one can copy the paper; they just made it more difficult, but the content is all in the HTML you download. Of course, it has to be! How else would your browser know how to display it. The images/figures are easy, but the text is there too.
