Needs of Online Publishing High Quality = Peer-reviewed Rapid Publication Efficient Dissemination Searchability Readability Enhancements
3
So Many Papers, So Little Time Number of Peer-Reviewed Online Journals –In 1991: 7 journals; In 2002: >6000 journals HighWire Library of Sciences and Medicine –Over 12 million articles The Astrophysics Data System –Almost 3 million records
4
Rapid Publication Time to acceptance: –Online submission –Online review Time after acceptance: –Within 24 hours: J. Biological Chemistry (JBC) –Within 10 days: Science Express –Within 14 days: Some journals –Within 30 days: Many journals

What About Small Databases? Earth Science Societies Initiative – Earth science societies create a not-for-profit aggregate – Contain all peer-reviewed Earth science society journals – Seamless search capabilities – Link to Georef and other bibliographic resources – Link to other databases – Maintain a full content and searchable archive – Share revenues with societies – Use third party vendors for technology – Permit societies to participate in other initiatives

Searchability Search Engines –Fast –Easy to use –Handle synonyms/terminology/language –Full text –Multiple sources –Flexibility
18
ADS Search Engine adsabs.harvard.edu
19
Synonym Searches Search for similar terminology Equate different tenses accelerated = accelerate Equate different namesO’Higgins = OHiggins Equate different words height = altitude Equate different patterns X-ray = X ray Equate foreign words with English translations Do not search on common words, such as “the” Here is how the Astrophysics Data System handles synonyms

In Einstein’s personal letter to the editor of Science, regarding the publication of his 1936 lensing paper he wrote “Let me also thank you for your cooperation with this little publication, which Mister Mandl squeezed out of me. It is of little value, but it makes the poor guy happy.” Einstein IS Still Relevant Renn et al., Science 275, 184 (1997).

The Ecosystem Dynamics and Essential Human Needs (EDEHN) project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) International Directorate seeks to improve the scientific basis for environmentally sustainable policymaking by building the capacity of scientists, policymakers, citizens, and other Plata Basin Project such stakeholders at the local, national, and regional levels. EDEHN will accomplish its goal through participatory, pro-active facilitation of multidisciplinary sustainable science and policy activities undertaken at the watershed level. Three other EDEHN projects are under way in Russia, South-East Asia and Africa.
