In the Spring of 2012, the faculty of the University of California will be discussing an Open Access policy for the university.
The effort is being coordinated by the University Committee on Library and Scholarly Communication and will result in a draft policy for consideration by the system-wide faculty Senate and the campuses beginning as early as possible.
To learn more about this discussion, please download the document below which contains background, a model policy and a number of “Frequently Asked Questions” about open access generally, UC-specific issues of policy and implementation.
Questions, suggestions, criticisms or ideas should be forwarded to your campus COLASC representative.

JANE : Journal/Author Name Estimator
Get Suggestions on Where to Publish
Netherlands Bioinformatics Centre, Biosemantics Group
Need to know where to send that article draft you just completed? JANE, the Journal/Author Name Estimator, uses Medline data to suggest journals for your publication. Simply cut and paste your
publication title and abstract into JANE’s Web form, and you will get a list of journals that have published similar articles, including a confidence score and a calculation of the journal’s influence.
JANE can also suggest authors who have published on similar topics, and find similar articles, in case you want to check for omissions in your bibliography.
Just enter the title and/or abstract of the paper in the box, and click on ‘Find journals’, ‘Find authors’ or ‘Find Articles’. Jane will then compare your document to documents in Medline to find the best matching journals, authors or articles.

GTR : Genetic Testing Registry
Get Answers to Questions about Genetic Tests
National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Library of Medicine
The Genetic Testing Registry provides a central location for voluntary submission of genetic test information by providers. The scope includes the test’s purpose, methodology, validity, evidence of the test’s usefulness, and laboratory contacts and credentials. The overarching goal of the GTR is to advance the public health and research into the genetic basis of health and disease.
IMPORTANT NOTE: NIH does not independently verify information submitted to the GTR; it relies on submitters to provide information that is accurate and not misleading. NIH makes no endorsements of tests or laboratories listed in the GTR. GTR is not a substitute for medical advice. Patients and consumers with specific questions about a genetic test should contact a health care provider or a genetics professional.

“The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences – National Institutes of Health recently published a manual related to evaluation metrics titled: The Partnerships for Environmental Public Health (PEPH) Evaluation Metrics Manual. The manual contains examples of tangible metrics related to PEPH research outcomes. This manual is an outstanding easy-to-read resource, and includes definitions, examples of metrics, tips/recommendations, and a review of evaluation principles.”

Environmental Factor, February 2012
Measuring efforts to translate science into public health action
NIEHS took a step toward helping grantees measure the progress of outreach and translation goals at a workshop Jan. 10, with the formal launch of its new Evaluation Metrics Manual. The manual targets programs in the NIEHS Partnerships for Environmental Public Health (PEPH) program with guidance for researchers and program staff on ways to use logic models to define what constitutes success and how to measure it.
.
The PEPH Evaluation Metrics Manual provides examples of tangible metrics that PEPH grantees and program staff can use for both planning and evaluation. Example logic models are used as a means to develop evaluation metrics for cross-cutting PEPH themes such as Partnerships, Leveraging, Products and Dissemination, Education and Training and Capacity Building. PEPH grantees (including all project partners) are the primary target audience for this document.

A few useful resources and tools that may be of interest to those researchers considering the ominous question of how to measure impact.
Journal Citation Reports (JCR)
Journal Citation Reports identifies the most frequently cited journals in a field, the highest impact journals in a field, and the largest journals in a field; provides an annual and 5-year Impact Factor, when available.

We have instituted a trial of BMJ Best Practice, an evidence based point of care medicine resource.
Access to this resource is available from this link: http://us.bestpractice.bmj.com
Off-campus access through the VPN is available here: https://vpn.lib.ucdavis.edu/best-practice/,DanaInfo=us.bestpractice.bmj.com+welcome.html
Please contact Bruce Abbott (btabbott@ucdavis.edu) with any comments you have regarding this resource.
From the Best Practice Getting Started flier. Getting Started with Best Practice From the homepage type a condition in the Search box on the right hand side e.g. Diabetes and click the magnifying glass. Alternatively you can browse conditions on the site by clicking on the arrow next to show conditions and you can either find your condition using the A to Z format on the right hand side or search by area of medicine on the left hand side. Best Practice content is split into three monographs: Conditions, Overviews and Assessments. Condition monographs will cover specific conditions e.g. Anorexia Nervosa, Overview Monographs will give an overview of a group of conditions e.g. Diabetes, where more than one type of a condition exists. Assessment Monographs will guide you through the treatment of a particular symptom e.g. a chronic cough. Use of the content is subject to the disclaimers and terms on our site.
