  • The Serials Crisis and Open Access: a White Paper for the Virginia Tech Commission on Research
    The Serials Crisis and Open Access A White Paper for the Virginia Tech Commission on Research Philip Young University Libraries Virginia Tech December 2, 2009 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. 1 Introduction This white paper offers an introduction to open access as well as a look at its current development. The open access movement is an attempt to free scholarly communication from restrictions on access, control, and cost, and to enable benefits such as data mining and increased citations. Open access has gained significant momentum through mandates from research funders and universities. While open access can be provided in parallel with traditional publishing, it is increasingly available as a publishing option. While open access is approached here from the problem of subscription inflation, it is important to recognize that open access is not merely a library issue, but affects the availability of research to current and future students and scholars. The Serials Crisis The phrase “serials crisis” has been in use for more than a decade as shorthand for the rise in costs for academic journals and the inability of libraries to bring these costs under control. Price inflation for academic journals significantly exceeds the consumer price index (see graph, next page). The most recent data show that journal prices increased at an average rate of 8% in 2007.1 Because journal subscriptions are a large part of the collections budget at academic libraries, any reduction in funding usually results in a loss of some journals. And the high rate of annual inflation means that academic library budgets must increase every year simply to keep the same resources that students and faculty need.

  • Citation Patterns of Advanced Undergraduate Students in Biology, 2000-2002
    Citation Patterns of Advanced Undergraduate Students in Biology, 2000-2002 Joseph R. Kraus SUMMARY. Thirty-three undergraduate student papers in biology that were presented at an annual symposium of undergraduate research at the University of Denver from 2000 through 2002 were evaluated. There were a total of 770 citations with an average of 23.3 citations per paper. It was determined that 76.2% of the citations came from journal articles, 16.4% came from books or book chapters, 6.4% were to other miscellaneous sources, and only 1.0% were to Web sites. Other findings include the top cited journals, the oldest cited journal articles, the average age and range of books and journals, the types of miscellaneous sources cited, and the stabil- ity of the cited Web sites.

ABSTRACT DNA replication is a complex process that ensures the maintenance of genetic infor- mation. Recently, advancements in chromatin conformation capture techniques have enabled the modeling of DNA replication as a spatio-temporal process. Here, we present a stochastic hybrid model for DNA replication that incorporates protein mobility dy- namics and 3D chromatin structure. Performing simulations for three model variations and a broad range of parameter values, we collected about 300,000 in silico replication profiles for fission yeast and conducted a parameter sensitivity analysis. We find that the number of firing factors initiating replication is rate-limiting and dominates the time un- til completion of DNA replication.
