Amazing : 2 GB from Gmail
by Jayadev P Hiremath 02 Apr '05

02 Apr '05

SAN JOSE: A year after unveiling a free e-mail service with a full gigabyte of storage, Google is doubling the capacity of each account and plans to keep bumping up the limit in the future. Once the upgrade takes effect on Friday, Gmail users will be able to store up to 2 gigabytes of e-mail and attachments for each account. Even more capacity will be made available after that as it becomes feasible, the company said. "Our goal is to make sure storage is no longer an issue for Web mail users," said Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products. The announcement was made on the first anniversary of the Internet search engine's launch of Gmail, which surprised many users with its generous storage allotment and prompted rivals Yahoo and Microsoft to boost the capacity of their own free Web mail services.

Oa increases research impact
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Apr '05

01 Apr '05

Here is the abstract of a talk Stevan Harnad will deliver at Indiana University on 5 April 2005. Please spread the word about the advantages of institutional archiving. Arun Maximizing Research Impact Through Institutional Self-Archiving Stevan Harnad Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southhampton Abstract: There are two roads to Open Access (OA) (toll-free online full-text access to peer-reviewed journal articles)/ The "golden" road is for the world's 24,000 peer-reviewed journals to convert from the user-institution cost-recovery model to the author-institution cost-recovery model (OA Journal Publishing), as about 5% of them have done. There is still some risk and uncertainty associated with this untested gold-journal cost-recovery model, however, so most journals (91%) have instead taken the "green" road, giving their authors the green light to provide OA for their own individual articles if they wish, by self-archiving them in their own institutional OA Eprint Archives. There is still much confusion about these two very different roads to OA, with some thinking that OA = OA Publishing (gold). Some also think OA is only or mainly to solve the libraries' serials crisis (the journal pricing/affordability problem), whereas the real problem OA is intended to solve is the researchers' access/impact problem. The proposed US, UK, Australian and Canadian mandates to self-archive all funded research are also widely misunderstood as mandating gold, pressuring publishers toward adopting the OA Journal cost-recovery model, whereas they are in fact mandating green, pressuring fundees to provide OA for their findings by self-archiving them. I will present quantitative evidence on the degree to which supplementing the licensed journal access version of an article with an author self-archived Open Access version of the same article increases both the citation impact and the usage (download) impact of the article; the evidence also shows that download impact today can predict citation impact in 2 years. More information. Biographical Sketch: Stevan Harnad was born in Hungary, did his undergraduate work at McGill University and his graduate work at Princeton University, and is currently Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Science at University of Quebec/Montreal.

A talk by Stevan harnad at Indiana University

Open Access Scientometrics Stevan Harnad, University of Southampton, UK April 4th, 2005 | 6-7p | LI 001 One of the ways to measure and predict research influence, direction and impact is through citation analysis. Articles cite one another, and citations can be counted, and lineages traced. Co-citation analysis is another way of analyzing structure and influence: Who is cited together with whom? Hub/authority analysis allows articles to be weighted by whether they are reviews citing many related articles, or they are influential works cited by many articles. The citation equivalent of Google's PageRank allows citations to be weighted, recursively, by how cited the citing work is. A citation has a higher weight if the citing article is itself a highly cited article. A new web-based measure is article downloads; these turn out to be correlated with and hence predictive of citations 18 months later, and even longer if the article is a pre-publication preprint. The latency from download time to citation time has also been steadily shrinking as more preprints and postprints are made openly accessible (OA) online. OA articles have significantly, sometimes dramatically higher citation impact than non-OA articles. Making more of the literature OA will not only make it more accessible and enhance its usage and impact, but it will make powerful new forms of scientometric analysis for monitoring and measuring research possible.

France forging ahead with OA

INRIA's commitment to OA INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Computer Sciences and Control, has signed the Registry of Institutional OA Self-Archiving Policies. Here's how INRIA describes its OA policy on the registry policy page: 'INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) is about to launch an Open Archive dedicated to its scientific publications. INRIA Chairman Gilles Kahn has signed the Berlin Declaration last June and strongly embraces the Open Archive Initiative. He is convinced that such an archive will increase INRIA's scientific visibility and impact, keep track of INRIA's scientific output, and be of use to the whole scientific community. INRIA's Open Archive is part of the HAL Open Archive, produced by the CCSD (Center for Direct Scientific Communication) of CNRS, originally for physicists. INRIA is now collaborating with the CCSD for the future evolution of HAL [Hyper Articles Online]. INRIA scientists and their research partners will be strongly encouraged to use HAL-INRIA as a repository for their research. Documents to be archived include mostly submitted or accepted contributions in Conferences and Journals, book chapters, but also tutorials, INRIA reports, presentations, self-archived dissertations and preprints. It will also be possible to archive the proceedings of conferences organized, chaired or edited by INRIA scientists. Free access to archived articles will be granted whenever compatible with the publisher's requirements.
