Portico to Preserve Open Access Content from BioMed Central

From the Announcement:

Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce that it will preserve BioMed Central's entire collection of 60,000 open access online articles and all newly published articles going forward. BioMed Central, a unit of Springer Science + Business Media, will participate in Portico under the journal archive license agreement already in place between Springer and Portico. Springer now furthers its digital preservation strategy, which already includes participation in Portico since 2007 on behalf of 824 journals and, since 2009, on behalf of 21,000 e-books.

[Snip]

BioMed Central was launched in 2000 as an independent publishing house committed to providing free access to peer-reviewed research in the biomedical sciences. Acquired by Springer Business + Media in October of 2008, BioMed Central is now the largest open access provider in the world with 205 peer-reviewed open access journals.

With the inclusion of all articles from BioMed Central's 205 online journals, over 10,700 e-journals, including over 400 open access journals, and 34,000 e-books from 91 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive.

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.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
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?
