Until a few months ago I worked at an Institution (TIGR, The Institute for Genomic Research) that had <300 employees. Needless to say, we did not subscribe to as many journals as the University of California. Someday I will describe on my blog the nightmare I had with a family medical crisis in which our doctor's were incompetent and during which I could not get access to the medical literature. I became an Open Access supporter shortly thereafter. <br /><br />What I did to get access to various literature was (1) use <a href = "http://scholar.google.com" > Google Scholar </a> where you can find many things online not at publisher's sites (2) emailed authors to get their reprints (and told them if they published in OA journals they would not have to deal with such requests and (3) tried to get others I knew at bigger institutions to get me the papers (this is by the way, what Lance Armstrong <a href = "http://phylogenomics.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html" > talks about doing </a> in one of his books.<br /><br />So - I do not have any great suggestions for you to get access to stuff. And given that US (or UK, EU, Japanese, etc) taxpayers paid for most of this research it is simply absurd that you/we cannot get access to it. So now it is time to change the system, for future generationsJonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-27923717157813886202006-12-11T22:55:00.000-08:002006-12-11T22:55:00.000-08:00Your 10 novel ways to contribute to OA all pertain...Your 10 novel ways to contribute to OA all pertain to researchers planning to publish their work. Any suggestions for those of us without institutional affiliation who simply want to access the wealth of information contained in non-OA journals and who have run into one wall after another? (Yes, I've joined PLOS to add one more voice to the outcry.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-70165679782149497322006-10-01T18:18:00.000-07:002006-10-01T18:18:00.000-07:00I will try it and report back ...I will try it and report back ...Jonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-26746097756608198102006-10-01T10:53:00.000-07:002006-10-01T10:53:00.000-07:00Postgenomic would be the open access version of Fa...<a href="http://www.postgenomic.com/">Postgenomic</a> would be the open access version of Faculty 1000.

Since F1000 is not for presenting research, just opinions, it is clearly a less egregious problem than non OA publications. But I guess you are probably right that it would be better to find an Open way of making comments. I guess I could amend my statement to say "If you are still posting to the non Open F1000, then please post about OA articles."Jonathan Eisenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07953790938128734305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10781944.post-33782757102197790352006-09-27T09:06:00.000-07:002006-09-27T09:06:00.000-07:00Find a good Open Access publication and promote it...<i>Find a good Open Access publication and promote it in some way - by writing about it in a blog or reviewing it for things like Faculty of 1000, submit reviews there only for Open Access articles.</i><br /><br />Faculty of 1000 is not open access, so we should avoid it . . . right?RPMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00344508931818143159noreply@blogger.com
