Screen Shot from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia I ’ve been so busy I just couldn’t find the time/energy to write a post for the fourth session of our Libraries and Publishing module at #citylis last week. But here I am! Blogging is a great way of leaving a public register -even if limited- of the module sessions;

Open Access Button The Open Access Button is a browser bookmarklet that tracks and maps the impacts of paywalls. Users can report when they are denied access to research and then search for alternative access to the article using the Button.  We launched the Open Access Button in November 2013 at the Berlin 11 Student and Early Stage Researcher Conference. To date the Button has mapped over 5000 paywalls.

This post is a follow-up to “The Triple A: Africa, Access, Altmetrics” published on the 22nd of February 2014. I have deposited on figshare a third alluvial diagram, this time focusing on the country of affiliation of the Principal Investigator/Author of the articles and the geographical area mentioned in the article title.

Time flies and I can’t contain my excitement that I will be participating in the Discoverability of African Scholarship Online. Practical strategies and collaborative approaches workshop in Nairboi, Kenya, organised by the Open UCT Initiative. For me there’s three very important A’s in scholarly communications: Africa, Access and Altmetrics.
