The new Lcica RM 2165 automatic, heavy-duty microtome has an advanced step motor that permits an exact specimen feed and reproducible sectioning results. Features include 70 mm vertical stroke length, unique step trim function, and programmable specimen retraction. Technical features include a handwheel rocking sectioning mode; the motorized specimen feed can be linked to change the handwheel t...

The purpose of the study was to increase self-archiving of scientific articles in Swedish open archives and thus contribute to the dissemination and increased visibility of Swedish research and to a greater impact for the individual researcher. We wanted to find out what obstacles may occur in the self-archiving process and how the database SHERPA/RoMEO functions as support for control of the p...

A study of ISI ranked Library and Information Science (LIS) journals (n=52) is reported. The study examined the stances of publishers as expressed in the Copyright Transfer Agreements (CTAs) of the journals towards self-archiving, the practice of depositing digital copies of one's works, preferably in an OAI-compliant open access repository. Results show that 62 % (32) do not make their CTAs av...

This article describes some of the activities of the IUCr Diffraction Data Deposition Working Group and introduces a collection of articles discussing the archiving of diffraction images.

The paper provides a summary of the experiences of the photo library of the German Art History Institute (Max-Planck-Institute) in digitizing and archiving photo negatives. The focus is on reasons for digitization and longterm archiving, information retrieval and presentation of image content using digilib, how the images were digitized and which questions remain for longterm archiving. 1 Kurzv...

CRAWDAD (Community Resource for Archiving Wireless Data At Dartmouth) is a popular research data archive for wireless network data, archiving over 100 datasets used by over 6,500 users. In this paper we examine citation behaviour amongst 1,281 papers that use CRAWDAD datasets. We find that (in general) paper authors tend to cite datasets in a manner that is sufficient for providing credit to da...
