JSTOR News: Early Journal Content in the Internet Archive

450,000 Early Journal Articles Now Available
Posted on April 11, 2013 by brewster
Internet Archive announces today the addition of over 450,000 journal articles from the JSTOR Early Journal Content collection. Early Journal Content is a selection of pre-1923 materials from more than 350 journals and includes articles in the arts and humanities, economics and politics, and mathematics and other sciences. This content was digitized by JSTOR and is freely available through jstor.org, and it can now also be accessed and downloaded via archive.org.

Heidi McGregor from JSTOR said, “We’re happy to work with the Internet Archive to broaden access to the JSTOR Early Journal Content even further, offering people the ability to use it alongside other Internet Archive held collections.”

All 2 terabytes of the Early Journal Collection are available for bulk harvesting from the Internet Archive. Web search engines have been indexing the full-text contents of these materials already and, so far, people and robots have downloaded the articles over 400,000 times even before it has been announced. A data bundle including OCR text and metadata is also available from JSTOR’s Data for Research service for free downloading.

How to convert your ProQuest Dissertation to Open Access

Is your dissertation in ProQuest?  Would you like to make it available worldwide, free of charge to any user, forever?  Here's how to do it:
ProQuest Open Access Publishing PLUS
Open Access is a term used to describe content that a reader can access free of charge. With the ProQuest Open Access Publishing PLUS option (formerly UMI Open Access Publishing), graduate students can now publish their dissertations and theses with ProQuest on an open access basis, significantly increasing the reach of their research.
What are the benefits of Open Access Publishing PLUS?Open Access Publishing PLUS guarantees the widest possible exposure of your graduate research. It can also help ensure that the officially published version of your dissertation or thesis is the most widely available version in the primary literature.
In addition to the standard features of our Traditional publishing service - rigorous quality assurance, assignment of an ISBN, permanent storage in our microfilm vault, and so on - the Open Access publishing service includes the following:
  • Free, public access to your graduate work in PQDT Open, our online repository of Open Access graduate works.
  • Free access to the citation, abstract, full text (including supplementary files) for your graduate works for all institutional subscribers to ProQuest® Dissertations & Theses (PQDT), the database of record for graduate research.
How does Open Access Publishing PLUS compare with ProQuest's Traditional publishing service?Read more here about the details and see a comparison chart showing the benefits Open Access Publishing Plus and our Traditional Publishing services (downloadable PDF).
Where can I find out more?Check out our Open Access Publishing PLUS FAQ.
You can also contact us via email at scholarlypublishing@proquest.com with additional questions.

 Disclosure:  ProQuest requires a fee of $95.00 which covers lifetime maintenance, and  requires a new publishing agreement (most of you won't remember signing the first agreement).  The world will thank you.

If you do this conversion, please leave a comment here with the URL of your newly open dissertation.

Open Access Theses and Dissertations

Open Access Theses and Dissertations
http://oatd.org/static/oa_logo_100.png
What can I search for here?
This is an index of over 1.5 million electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). To the extent possible, the index is limited to records of graduate-level theses that are freely available online.

Where do the records come from?
See this list of sites that contribute records to this index.

Many of these schools' records come from their own repositories. Others come from regional or national ETD consortia, or from a set of ETD catalog records provided by OCLC Worldcat. With few exceptions, records are harvested from these sites using a standard called the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).

What definition of "Open Access" do you use?
We define open access broadly to cover ETDs that are free to access and read online. We encourage authors to consider formally granting additional rights, for example by publishing their theses with a Creative Commons license.

Where does the full text live?
The full text of all papers lives on the original hosting site, usually the repository of the university that granted the degree. OATD indexes about the first 30 pages of some theses in order to show search hits, but in no case does OATD index or store the full text of the paper.

Our school's ETDs are not in the index. How can we include them?
If your school has a repository of open-access ETDs, check with your repository manager to confirm that it has OAI-PMH harvesting enabled. This is an available option on most ETD or repository platforms, including DSpace, Digital Commons, eprints, ETD-db, and ContentDM. Once you have confirmed that, simply send me the OAI server's base URL. We recommend that you also register the base URL with opendoar.org and openarchives.org.
If you manage a collection of open access ETDs, but cannot run an OAI-PMH server, please contact us to discuss alternate arrangements. If you have good metadata, we want to include your records.

Our school's ETDs are in the index, but they don't show a lot of information. How can we improve them?
There are two causes for this problem. The first is that your repository's OAI-PMH server doesn't provide very rich metadata (which may indicate a configuration problem with your repository software). If so, you should work with your repository manager. The second reason is that good metadata is being put into fields we didn't expect (for example, if publication dates are in note fields, we may not display them correctly). In that case, drop us a line to let us know what we're missing...

ARCHIBAB Update

ARCHIBAB Archives babyloniennes (XXe-XVIIe siècles av. J.C.)

ARCHIBAB is now available in an English language interface

http://www.archibab.fr/images/bg_head.png

Actualités Décembre 2012
Nouvelles données accessibles :
La table BIBLIO compte désormais 4012 fiches, avec références au total à 32143 textes intégralement publiés.
Nouveautés :
Pour la première année, nous avons réussi à suivre l'actualité dans sa totalité ; il est vrai que 2012 a
seulement vu la publication de 164 nouveaux textes, contre 554 en 2011, 136 en 2010, 1147 en 2009 et
475 en 2008, date du début du projet ; on voit que la moyenne de ces 5 dernières années se situe à
environ 500 textes (2469 nouveaux textes en 5 ans, soit un accroissement de 8,3%).
Outre le livre de I. Arkhipov (ARM 32 [645 textes dont 114 complètement inédits]), déjà en ligne depuis
décembre 2011, ces textes supplémentaires ont été publiés dans :
– ARCHIBAB 1 [6 textes] ;
– plusieurs volumes collectifs : Mél. Van Lerberghe (OLA 220) [23] ; Mél. Watson [8] ; Mél. Skaist [1] ;
– revues : RA 105 [7] ; Semitica 54 [5].
Travail rétrospectif :
– D. Charpin a entré et lemmatisé les textes de LAOS 1, volume paru fin 2011.
– B. Alexandrov a entré et lemmatisé la quasi-totalité des textes de ARM 21.
– A. Jacquet a entré et lemmatisé la totalité des lettres de AbB 14, à partir de transcriptions informatiques
aimablement fournies par W. Sommerfeld.
– De nombreux textes publiés isolément ont été entrés et le plus souvent lemmatisés : par exemple des
textes publiés dans NABU, dans des volumes de Mélanges, des revues, etc.
– Le catalogue des textes est passé à 12.455 fiches, avec la décision de fournir aussi vite que possible un
catalogue complet des lettres paléo-babyloniennes (en plus de celles de Mari, dont le catalogue est à jour
depuis décembre 2011). Grâce à I. Arkhipov, le catalogue des volumes 7 à 13 des AbB est désormais
accessible [1417 textes] ; en dehors des AbB, son effort a également porté sur Shemshara (ShA 1) et la
Diyala (AS 22, Goetze Sumer 14, Ellis JCS 24, OBTIV, mais aussi Kisurra [FAOS 2], Harradum, etc.
– Le nombre de textes transcrits comme « Renger Corpus Berlin » est passé de 811 à 2194. Il s'agit de :
ARN (168 textes), BE 6/1 (116), BE 6/2 (119), Gautier Dilbat (66), TCL 1 (162), TCL 10 (139), TCL 11
(58), VS 8 (93), VS 9 (15), YOS 5 (132), YOS 8 (176). On trouvera désormais un texte présentant la
nature du projet berlinois et l'accord de coopération passé entre l'Institut für Altorientalistik de la Freie
Universität Berlin et le projet ARCHIBAB (« Corpus Berlin.pdf ») : notre gratitude s'adresse bien sûr à J.
Renger et E. Cancik-Kirschbaum. Merci également à F. Hammoush, qui a créé ces fiches et intégré les
documents pdf dans la base.
