Incentive Fund Open Access Publications – Journals in the Humanities…

“Within the field of Dutch humanities, there is both the opportunity and the need for high-quality open access journals. This grant instrument aims to support the founding of new, or the conversion of existing journals to, open access journals solely within the field of the humanities. Duration: 2010-2011”

Well, it’s now midday on Monday and Oxford Journals are still offering up full-text PDFs via Google searches, so I think it’s safe to index a few more titles. I’ve indexed another 13 Oxford titles in JURN. The full list of such titles, indexed at the article level, is now:—

Adaptation
American Literary History
Analysis
British Journal of Aesthetics, The
Contemporary Women’s Writing
English Historical Review, The
Early Music
English: Journal of the English Association
French History
Forum for Modern Language Studies
French Studies
German History
History Workshop Journal
Holocaust and Genocide Studies
Journal of the American Academy of Religion
Journal of Design History
Journal of the History of Collections
Journal of Hindu Studies, The
Journal of Islamic Studies
Journal of Semitic Studies
Literary Imagination
Music and Letters
Musical Quarterly
Notes and Queries (not well indexed by Google)
Oxford Art Journal
Oral History Review, The
Oxford Art Journal
Past & Present
The Review of English Studies
Screen
Sociology of Religion
Twentieth Century British History
Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory, The
Year’s Work in English Studies, The

I’m wondering if this new ‘free access’ is about increasing the impact factor of each journal?

All Oxford Journals titles are currently ‘open access to the world’ via Google, at the PDF article level. I’ve experimentally added 18 of the most relevant and substantial Oxford Journals titles to the JURN index, for the duration of this unspecified free period.

Suck on this, censors…

Those viewing the cover of the latest Oxford Art Journal in the UK are criminals under the Labour Party’s Coroners and Justice Act 2009, and liable to three years in jail.

PirateBox

28 Friday Jan 2011

Posted by David Haden in Spotted in the news

PirateBox is a…

“self-contained mobile [wi-fi] collaboration and P2P file sharing device. Simply turn it on to transform any space into a free and open P2P file sharing network. […] the system is purposely not connected to the Internet in order to subvert tracking and preserve user privacy.”

“Can I make my own PirateBox? Absolutely! The PirateBox is registered under the Free Art License (FAL 1.3). It can be built for approximately US $100.”

No storage of its own, apparently, so it’s only a conduit. Possibly useful for academic symposia and conferences that don’t want to pay venues for fast wi-fi just to let people swop big files? And perhaps for business meetings where attendees want secure (I’m assuming the box does best-quality wireless security) sharing of sensitive files.
