DOAJ’s strongest growth quarter to date - average of over 6 titles (net) per day. The repositories contributing metadata to the Bielefeld Academic Search Engine collectively grew by over 4.7 million documents for a total of close to 89 million documents. PubMed is falling behind on indexing due to a transition to automated indexing - no serious consequences with respect to this series, but here’s hoping they catch up really soon as a lot of people rely on this index for medical information. PubMedCentral continues to grow in journal participation, journals with immediate free access, and journals with all content open access. -- Dr. Heather Morrison Assistant Professor École des sciences de l'information / School of Information Studies University of Ottawa http://www.sis.uottawa.ca/faculty/hmorrison.html Sustaining the Knowledge Commons http://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ GOAL mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/goal
