Open Access: JULIET has been upgraded -- now includes Funders' Data and Open Access Journal Policies

JULIET has been upgraded -- now includes Funders' Data and Open Access Journal Policies
From the news release:
SHERPA is proud to announce a new version of its JULIET service, which has been redeveloped to include information on research funders' policies on open access data archiving and open access publishing. Supported by CURL, SHERPA has now upgraded JULIET to include information on requirements for the open access archiving of data as part of funding agreements. JULIET was first set up in 2006 to provide clear summaries of the requirements for academics to archive research outputs in open access repositories. Since then, increasing numbers of funders have added open access archiving requirements to their grants, and these have been tracked by JULIET...Now the same advantages are being promoted for unpublished research data. Many funders have developed policies to make open access archiving of research data a requirement of project funding. The intention is to allow open access to the research data, to enable re-examination, re-use, and advanced research techniques like data mining for meta-analyses.

As part of its redevelopment, JULIET now also separately summarises open access publication policies. These deal with some funders' requirements for their research to be published in open access journals -- journals which are free to readers.

JULIET gives summaries of all of these policies so that academic researchers and others can clearly see what is required by each funder. The service allows comparison of policies across funders, and evaluates the policies against open access ideals.

JULIET is used internationally and is widely recognized as part of the essential support infrastructure of the open access environment. JULIET is part of a suite of open access services produced and maintained by SHERPA which include RoMEO and OpenDOAR.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
