Find In-Depth Articles on Google with a URL Trick

Find In-Depth Articles on Google with a URL Trick 165,78618 Whitson Gordon If your Google search just isn't returning the quality content you want, this little URL trick might find more in-depth articles on the subject you're searching for. Alex Chitu at Google Operating System recently discovered that Google has a section for "in-depth articles", from which it features longer posts from sites like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Wired, The Economist, and more. It only seems to work in the US, and it only pops up sometimes—but you can manually bring it up by adding this to the end of your search URL: &tbs=ida:1&gl=us It doesn't work all the time, and it's certainly a bit limiting, but it's worth a shot if Google just isn't giving you the kind of results you want.

Calling for Papers: Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD)
by Imma Subirats 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Progress in science and technology can only be achieved by building upon a community knowledge base. This is as true for agricultural development as for anything else. However, current technical, financial, legal and cultural barriers can make it difficult to access and use existing agricultural knowledge. Open Knowledge initiatives that promote free, unrestricted access to research, data, software and learning materials promise to further accelerate agricultural development, reduce hunger and poverty, and improve food security in less economically developed countries. The Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development (OKAD) article collection will be a platform for authors to share their original research findings, initiatives, case studies, perspectives and opinions relating to Open Knowledge initiatives within all areas in the context of agriculture, agri-food and agro-biodiversity. We encourage the submission of articles on topics including, but not limited to: * E-infrastructure for agricultural development * Publishing and communicating scientific knowledge * Open access, open data and open educational resources * Dissemination, metrics and impact assessment * Development of open source software, applications and platforms * Policy and socio-economic issues * Non-digital Open Knowledge initiatives More information at http://f1000research.com/article-collections/okad -- Open up your knowledge and contribute to OKAD -- Dates: The OKAD collection will be launched on February 23rd 2015 and will be open to contributions indefinitely. Authors who wish to have their articles published as part of the launch should submit their article by February 2nd 2015. Discounts & waivers: All articles submitted before the launch date will be free to publish. Articles submitted after this date will receive a 20% discount off the standard article processing charge. F1000Research welcomes a wide range of studies, including small research notes, null results, replications, refutations, traditional research articles, reviews, opinion pieces, method articles, and software tools (see our author guidelines for details about each article type). In line with F1000Research's publication model, all articles submitted to this collection will be transparently reviewed by invited experts after publication; articles that pass peer review will become highly visible through indexing in major bibliographic databases. If you have any questions, please email research(a)f1000.com. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

This year's conference theme is: LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD: OPEN REPOSITORIES AT THE CROSSROADS OR2015 is the tenth OR conference, and this year¹s overarching theme reflects that milestone: Looking Back/Moving Forward: Open Repositories at the Crossroads. It is an opportunity to reflect on and to celebrate the transformative changes in repositories, scholarly communication and research data over the last decade. More critically however, it will also help to ensure that open repositories continue to play a key role in supporting, shaping and sharing those changes and an open agenda for research and scholarship. OR2015 will provide an opportunity to explore the demands and roles now expected of both repositories and the staff who develop, support and manage them - and to prepare them for the challenges of the next decade. We welcome proposals on this theme, but also on the theoretical, practical, organizational or administrative topics related to digital repositories. We are particularly interested in: 1. SUPPORTING OPEN SCHOLARSHIP, OPEN SCIENCE, AND CULTURAL HERITAGE ONLINE 2. MANAGING RESEARCH (AND OPEN) DATA 3. INTEGRATING WITH EXTERNAL SYSTEMS 4. RE-USING REPOSITORY CONTENT 5. EXPLORING METRICS AND ASSESSMENT 6. MANAGING RIGHTS 7. DEVELOPING AND TRAINING STAFF 8.
