The UMCG F1000 Poster Project : an update

This week the International Student Congress of (bio)Medical Sciences 2012 Poster Portal has gone live with the publishing of one of the award winning posters of last year.

This branded F1000 ISCOMS Portal is part of the Central Medical Library, UMCG project called "UMCG Poster Portal, an institutional Open Access portal".

So far F1000 did offer poster and slides facilities just for individuals and Societies, but now they are working on this for organisations, like academic institutions as well, to start with the UMCG.

ISCOMS Poster Portal

You can see clearly now how a branded UMCG Conference Portal with F1000 would look like. Right now there is only just one poster there, but it is an award-winning one of ISCOMS 2011!.
All presenters at ISCOMS 2012 will be asked to deposit their posters and slides to this Portal to make sure they will be visible for those who can not attend the conference.

Together with F1000 and in close contact with ISCOMS the CMB make this portal possible. It is a first step in hopefully more UMCG conferences using these free Conference facilities, and promoting Open Access at the same time, by putting online posters and slides.

UMCG Poster Portal

Behind the scenes the CMB is working, together with F1000 on a institutional UMCG Portal for ALL posters (past,present and future) by UMCG-staff or students.

As soon as this Portal is visible for anybody, we will let you know a.s.a.p!

People already can upload (deposit) their posters and slides freely themselves, ór ask the CMB to do it for them. An email to me with the digital version of the poster or slides, is enough.
We will make sure that they will appear in the UMCG Poster Portal once that it is live.. We are planning a short instructional video to show the register and deposit process.

Here is a presentation about the Project:

And here's a YouTube movie of me, doing the presentation ;-)

This amount will rise quickly, as we are mapping all posters in the UMCG corridors, ánd scanning the web for posters published elsewhere.

KOPERNIO extension to find PDF's : plus Open Access button, Unpaywall, Google Scholar and Connect UPDATED!

UPDATE: Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF: http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008 (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This new company has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free.

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription.

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that.... Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com. With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things : the base url string for the RSS feed: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For Inuit Art Zone the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
