Editor's Notes
- Most publications are atomic PDFs
- Open Access simply removes barriers to accessing these closed objects
- Data linking
- My Elsevier Challenge entry (http://iphylo.org/~rpage/challenge/ )
- All the same thing
- Data citation with PageRank scores
- http://www.flickr.com/photos/bastique/639784702/ by bastique
- History flow visualisation, after Jeff Atwood’s animated GIF
- Afrotheria
- EOL is like Wikipedia, but not. This difference may prove it’s downfall.
- For the species in Wikipedia I asked what web site comes top of the Google search for that name. Wikipedia dominates the search ranking. There really is only one game in town.
- If Wikipedia is the only game in town for making basic scientific knowledge broadly available, how do scientists engage with it?
