New AJNR Feature: Weekly Question and Poll
Starting Monday, August 31, when you visit AJNR.ORG you will find our new weekly activity: question and poll. Every Monday we will post a new question and our visitors can vote on an answer. These questions will refer to controversial aspects of neuroimaging, many which we face on a daily basis. Once you click on the answer, you should be able to see how the poll is progressing. One week later, we will post the results of the poll for all to see. We will create a repository of these questions/polls which hopefully will give us an idea as to … Continue reading >>

More on E-Only Publications
On March 23th the University of Michigan Press announced that it will go all digital (no more paper publications!). They will not reduce their press budget but use these resources in a more efficient way. This may be a welcome change to members of the undergraduate faculty for whom monographs and other publications are essential for promotion. Many of these are nowadays not published if deemed non salable as their print costs cannot be recuperated. E-only publication will allow many of these types of books to be published and widely distributed. Some feel that this is a return to scholarly … Continue reading >>
MIT Goes Open Access
In one of my previous editorials I commented on Harvard’s open access (OA) initiative (AJNR 2008; 29: 617-18). Basically, regardless of publication venue, all investigators working for that institution have to deposit a copy of their articles in a free and unrestricted site. This means that Harvard researchers, even if they have signed AJNR’s copyright agreement make their works OA through that site. For many years, this formula has been required for employees of the Military and government agencies. We at AJNR understand these policies and have adapted our copyright for those requesting it and even release ownership of articles … Continue reading >>
Another One Bites the Dust: JCI Says Goodbye to Open Access
One of my previous editorials (AJNR 2008; 29: 1805) dealt with the issue of open access (OA) and its influence on medical journals. Although complete OA is laudable, it is a difficult economic model to sustain. The BMJ was one of the major first OA journals and also one of the first to return to a subscriber fee model. In 1996, the Journal of Clinical Investigation became OA and starting this year it returned to a subscriber model (http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2009/02/26/end-of-free-access/). Both, BMJ and JCI are prestigious, widely cited journals initially perceived as ideal models for OA. Moreover, JCI charges authors for … Continue reading >>
Education
As a program director I would be interested in a category on education. Hopefully others are as well. Some suggested discussion topics:
It would be great if the ASNR opened up on-line content to residents.
ASNR should consider offering member in training to residents.
Programs are required to have a core curriculum of about 10 lectures. What should be the role of ASNR to help its members acheive this goal.?… Continue reading >>
