Ben Goldacre writes in support of Open Access

Ben Goldacre, the Guardian's Bad Science columnist, gave a brief talk last week at a Colloquium on Open Access organised by BioMedCentral. He contrasted the way scientists think about science with the way the media present it. Scientists take an article as a collection of methods, data and conclusions. The conclusions cannot be separated from the methods and data, and are only credible if the methods and data are credible and support the conclusions. Journalists (and hence the public at large) see science as a series of didactic, authoritative statements and newspapers report these statements, ignoring boring old data or methods. It therefore becomes difficult to interpret science stories in the media.

Ben Goldacre suggested that with Open Access it will be far easier to view the original research (if only journalists would include links in their stories).

He wrote persuasively about Open Access in his Guardian column on 10th Feb:

Nature access problems

Nature Publishing Group are having intermittent problems with their online platform - sometimes they recognise us and allow access to articles, other times they don't. This is a worldwide problem and they are working to fix this. Meanwhile, just try to access the article a bit later and you may get through.

This is the statement from NPG:

The nature.com website has had periods of instability over the past few weeks due to an increase in traffic to the site. This has caused the backend database that manages access to content to stop responding to requests. The nature.com technical team has increased capacity by adding additional web servers and optimizing database queries. We have seen improvements in performance since these changes were made. However, there are still occasional problems during peak traffic times and additional upgrades are being applied to help stabilize the site. One of the results of these
problems was that site license customers were intermittently not being recognized as subscribers, and receiving an Access message. We apologize for any confusion this has caused.

Journals becoming smarter

Journals published by the Royal Society of Chemistry are to be enhanced so that their data can be read, indexed and intelligently searched by machine, a first step towards the “semantic web”. Readers will be able to click on named compounds and scientific concepts in an electronic journal article to download structures, understand topics, or link through to electronic databases; compounds and ontology terms will be published as RSS feeds enabling automated discovery of relevant research. This initiative, called "Project Prospect" commenced 1st Feb 2007.
