Open Access Day
Have you heard of open access? Do you know what it is? If you’re a clinician, do you think it has something to do with free clinic hours? Do you already know that it is a movement to change the often restrictive nature of scholarly publishing? Even if you do know about open access, there’s likely more you could know – and do!
In honor of the first Open Access Day, sponsored by SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing and Research Coalition), Students for Free Culture and the Public Library of Science (an open access publisher), the WFU Libraries want to bring your attention to the open access movement, how open access is affecting the Wake Forest community, and what resources you have available to support personal open access pursuits.
Open access is a movement to remove the price and permission barriers for accessing and reusing scholarly research publications. The open access movement does not work against the fundamentals of copyright or peer review. Rather it aims to work with the necessary features of established scholarly publishing, albeit with major changes to subscriptions and accessibility.
There are two main routes to open access – gold and green. Gold open access is open access publishing: rather than have the subscribers pay to access the content, limiting distribution to only those institutions and individuals who are able to afford access, open access publishing shifts the cost of distribution to the content providers, the authors. Many authors have funds available from either institutions or awards to cover costs, with the end result being wider distribution and access to their scholarly output, as access to these publications are not limited to the pool of subscribers. Green open access is open access archiving: authors place copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based digital archive or repository where they are freely accessible, usually after an embargo period specified by the publishers. Many publishers already give authors permission to archive the pre-print (pre-peer review version) or post-print (post-peer review version incorporating changes from peer review but not yet formatted for final publication), and some even grant permission to archive the final published version.
Although green open access removes price barriers, it does not necessarily remove permission barriers. Gold open access publishing removes permission barriers by granting in advance the rights to reuse and redistribute articles for non-commercial uses, and occasionally even commercially. Sometimes even derivative works are allowed. There is great flexibility within the various open access options to meet authors’ needs and comfort-levels regarding distribution and reuse of their works. For more information on open access, see Peter Suber’s Open Access Overview.
Here at Wake Forest, the WFU Libraries are working to raise awareness of open access among faculty, students and staff. Both the Z. Smith Reynolds Library and the Coy C. Carpenter Medical Library have resource pages on scholarly communication issues (ZSR, Carpenter) and open access (ZSR, Carpenter). A group of librarians, with input from faculty and research administrators, are working to build an institutional repository for Wake Forest that will enable us to better collect, highlight and disseminate the world-class research conducted at our University. Faculty members from both campuses are already publishing in open access journals and hybrid access journals (traditional journals with article-by-article optional open access), and submitting to subject-based repositories, such as PubMed Central. Through compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy, many faculty researchers are realizing that they are able to retain many of their rights as copyright owners in their works when seeking publication, without forfeiting the opportunity to be published in premiere journals.
For more information on open access and what you can do, talk to your librarians at ZSR and Carpenter Libraries. And stay tuned for more news about the WFU Libraries’ growing support for open access pursuits at Wake Forest!

Medical Blogs for Patients
Methodology: I took MedGadget’s (the internet journal of emerging medical technologies) 2007 MedBlog awards page and looked at all of the nominated sites (@100 unique sites). I immediately eliminated any blogs that were outside of the U.S. and blogs that were exclusively written for other physicians, medical students, or nurses. I evaluated the consumer-oriented blogs by noting who wrote them, what their coverage was and whether the blogs contained advertisements. Coverage info was gathered from the blog’s subjects over several months. I have listed the ones I found to be of interest below with their urls in case anyone would like to view them for themselves. The order in which I have placed them is alphabetical; I made no attempt to rank the ones I found to be of the most interest but I have included my reasons about each one to assist your evaluation.

BRASS AND IVORY http://brassandivory.blogspot.com
Focus: healthcare, public policy, multiple sclerosis
Hosted by: Lisa Emrich
Coverage: mental illness and depression, MS, list of other health and medical blogs

PMID : PMCID Converter
For articles that fall under the Public Access Policy, NIH-funded authors are required to cite the PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) on grant applications, proposals and progress reports. To better identify PMCIDs, the NIH has released the PMID : PMCID Converter.
The converter will easily provide you with either the PMID (the PubMed reference number) or the PMCID, depending on which number you already have. Numbers can be added to the converter individually or in groups, allowing for convenient batch processing.

Library Additions/Deletions
The Carpenter Library, along with other departments in the School of Medicine, has been asked to lower its operating budget over the next 18 months. In order to meet the requested goals, the Library has eliminated positions, cut travel, and will be cutting select subscriptions to journals, databases and books. The Library’s Collection Development Committee evaluates resources throughout the year and the decision to eliminate these resources is guided by how much each costs, how much each one is used, and how much research and the curriculum would be affected if such resources were not available, etc.
In addition, a committee of researchers and clinicians was formed to give valuable input and insight into the initial decisions. We have attempted to maintain a balance that meets the critical needs of our researchers, clinicians, and students within the limits imposed by our future budgets.

Blackwell Journals Moving to Wiley Interscience - Some Downtime Expected
As part of the merger of Blackwell Publishing with John Wiley and Sons, the publishers will combine all Wiley-Blackwell's online products onto a single online platform. As of June 30, 2008, all Blackwell Synergy journal content and access rights will be moved to Wiley InterScience, and at that point Synergy will cease to be available. John Wiley plans to launch a next-generation online service in 2009 that will include the best features of both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience and which will introduce innovative new functionality and capabilities.
Over the weekend of June 28th and 29th, 2008, there will be a period when both Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience will be unavailable to all users while the publisher transitions and re-indexes data.
If you have registered as an individual on Blackwell Synergy, please go to http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/wiley-blackwell/transition_end-users.html
for more information.
If you have any questions, please call the Library at 713-7100.

PMCID numbers: Where are they?
A PubMed Central reference number (PMCID) just became easier to find! NIH grant proposals, applications and reports are required to include the PMCID for cited articles that have been archived in PubMed Central in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy (mandatory compliance effective April 7, 2008). PubMed Central is a free, publicly-accessible full-text digital archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature. All articles added to PubMed Central are assigned a unique identifier – a PMCID – that will need to be submitted to the NIH. Due to similar terminology with numbers assigned in PubMed, there is confusion over where to find the correct number.
When looking at citations in PubMed, when displaying results in the default “Summary” format, you see a PMID number, a unique identifier assigned to each article as it is added to PubMed. This is NOT the same number assigned to articles in PubMed Central, and will not meet the NIH guidelines. To retrieve the PMCID number, you need to change the Display menu option to “AbstractPlus”. Once in the “AbstractPlus” display, you will see the PMCID to the lower right of the citation. This is the number to include on NIH proposals, applications and reports.
UPDATE: If you do not see a PMCID number in the "AbstractPlus" display, then either a) the article is not archived in PubMed Central, or b) the article has been submitted for archiving, but has not yet been publicly released. As of now, PMCID numbers are assigned only when articles are made publicly available, which can be up to 12 months after official publication.
PLEASE NOTE: Beginning May 25, 2008, if a publication has been submitted to PubMed Central but the PMCID is not yet available, NIH requests that grantees submit the NIH Manuscript Submission system reference number (NIHMS ID) instead. The NIHMS ID will be available to the individual who submitted the manuscript via the NIH Manuscript Submission system. For tutorials on the NIHMS system, click here.
An illustrated handout describing how to locate PMCID numbers can be found on the Tips Sheets page of the Carpenter Library wiki. (While you're there, checkout the other helpful handouts available on the wiki!)

NIH Public Access Mandate
On December 26, 2007, President Bush signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 (H.R. 2764), which includes a provision (Division G, Title II, General Provisions, Section 218) directing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to strengthen its previously voluntary Public Access Policy from a request to a requirement. Here is what the law stipulates:
The Director of the National Institutes of Health shall require that all investigators funded by the NIH submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication: Provided, That the NIH shall implement the public access policy in a manner consistent with copyright law.
This means that all articles accepted for publication in scholarly journals that stem from research funded in whole or in part by awards from the NIH must be archived in PubMed Central (PMC)—approximately 65,000 peer-reviewed articles annually. Although there are several hundred journals automatically archived in PMC by publishers, the responsibility for ensuring deposit falls on the authors themselves. Fortunately, Carpenter Library links to several tools to help authors – or those persons designed to make PMC submissions on their behalf – navigate the publishing and depositing process.
Although this is the first instance of the U.S. Government mandating free public accessibility to research funded by a major agency, this is not the first mandate on the scene. The NIH mandate joins company with another 20 funder, 11 institutional and 3 departmental mandates, including those from the Wellcome Trust, 6 of 7 UK Research Councils, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
For further analysis of the NIH mandate victory, see the January issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, and Gavin Baker’s response and predictions.
It will likely be some time before the NIH issues the new policy; in the meantime you can familiarize yourself with the deposit process by complying with the voluntary Public Access Policy. If you have questions or concerns, or would like to request a group presentation on the current Public Access Policy and PubMed Central, contact Molly Keener at 716-4203 or mkeener [at] wfubmc.edu.
