The University Medical Center Groningen has introduced a mechanism to evaluate research output by UMCG staff. Basically it comes down to: a better citation score in highly valued Journals gets rewarded. Of course more aspects are taken into account, but those will not be the topic of this post right now. Main focus is to stimulate researchers to target the Top 25% Journals of the relevant JCR (Journal Citation Reports). The above picture is an illustration of how departments are promoting these articles. The Department Biomedical Engineering (BME) actually bought a stamp to mark the articles on their bulletinboard! In an earlier stage our Library made lists available of those Top 25% . We automatically publish all UMCG scientific articles and research-related news in our atUMCG blog since September 2011. And now we added the Top25-tag to articles indexed in PubMed ánd were published in those range of Top 25% Journals. From the Tagcloud all Top25 articles can be s...

This week we got the notice that RSS functionality had been activated in our University of Groningen Library Catalogue This is a long-standing wish of many librarians, mostly because of the possibilities it creates to distribute and aggregate information about publications listed in this Catalogue. Alert lists for individuals or departments, new books on specific topics, new ebooks and ejournals ... to name a few. It opens a new range of features and services. Currently I have indication that the RSS works without any issues in Internet Explorer, Opera & Safari.(See screenshots below) For FirefoxFirefox and Chrome I had to do some work to make those browsers "SEE" RSS feeds on a webpage. FIREFOX : To make RSS enabled in Firefox, so you can see the RSS icon in your address bar, you have to go to: VIEW; Toolbars; Customize and DRAG the RSS icon (called "Subscribe") somewhere into or near your address bar.

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.
