Scientific publishing is the ultimate product of scientist work. Number of publications and their quoting are measures of scientist success while unpublished researches are invisible to the scientific community, and as such nonexistent. Researchers in their work rely on their predecessors, while the extent of use of one scientist work, as a source for the work of other authors is the verificati...

The rise of open source online journals, free online courses, and other changes in the research and education environment, coined the "academic spring" by some commentators [1], represents an increasing trend in opening up the rules of access for research. Universities, libraries, publishers and even governments are paying attention to this new movement often referred to with the acronym A2K (a...

Creating, documenting, publishing and maintaining an RDF Schema vocabulary is a complex, time-consuming task. This makes vocabulary maintainers reluctant to evolve their creations quickly in response to user feedback; it prevents use of RDF for casual, ad-hoc data publication about niche topics; it leads to poorly documented vocabularies, and contributes to poor compliance of vocabularies with ...

This paper presents the findings of the Huddersfield Open Access Publishing Project, a JISC funded project to develop a low cost, sustainable Open Access (OA) journal publishing platform using EPrints Institutional Repository software.

The Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) is an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources. The protocol is based on HTTP transfer of Atom-formatted representations. The Atom format is documented in the Atom Syndication Format. RFC 5023 The Atom Publishing Protocol October 2007 Gregorio & de hOra Standards Track [Page 2] Table of

A D E F I N I T I V E H I S T O R Y of vanity publishing can probably never be written. There is evidence to indicate that it has existed and at times even flourished during the last thirty-five or forty years, and it is not unreasonable to surmise that it goes back in time beyond that. But much of the published evidence takes the form of accounts of individual experiences with vanity publisher...

This atlas offers a detailed and systematic approach to the post-mortem examination of farmed poultry. The first chapter, describes the organs from the skin to the nervous system, presents a simple post-mortem technique, which explains how to examine each organ and body system, and illustrates what they look like when healthy. The second chapter describes the avian diseases that are usually enc...

This paper dicusses how the technical book publishing process could address time to market and eBook issues through the adaptation of collaborative software engineering processes to the entire publishing process, from the initial authoring to the final preflight stages. We identify where, based on our own observations, the current process is flawed, then explore how it can be improved. While so...

The increasing and unprecedented publication rate in the biomedical field is a major bottleneck for knowledge discovery in the Life Sciences. The manual curation of facts from published scientific papers is slow and inefficient, and therefore new approaches are needed that can enable the automatic, scalable and reliable extraction of assertions. While the publication of scientific assertions an...
