Information Law
Library staff, information managers, academics, learning technologists, researchers and other practitioners who collect, use, create, share or provide access to published and unpublished resources, such as content, data, databases, personal data and software, need to be aware of the legal and licensing issues that might arise from these activities. This fully up-to-date guide adopts a practical hands-on approach to this complex area, which is vie…
A copyright overview
Copyright can apply to a wide range of artefacts, but of particular relevance to scholars are words (as in this article or in a book, and sometimes called "literary works", though there is no requirement for literary merit), numbers (as in research data), images such as photographs, paintings and drawings, (also known as "artistic works", though, again, there is no requirement that they must have artistic merit.) Another category is moving images…
Cloud law and contract negotiation
The main characteristics of cloud computing services are explained and the clauses typically included in contracts between suppliers and customers of such services are discussed. Storing data on a cloud service can be more comfortable for an organization and cheaper than local storage, but it involves several risks. Recommendations are given on how to negotiate contracts. A list of questions to be asked of cloud service suppliers is provided so t…
The patent crisis and how the courts can solve it

The economic implications of alternative publishing models
A knowledge economy has been defined as one in which the generation and exploitation of knowledge has come to play the predominant part in the creation of wealth. It is not simply about pushing back the frontiers of knowledge; it is also about the more effective use and exploitation of all types of knowledge in all manner of economic activities. One key question is whether there are new opportunities and new models for scholarly publishing that m…

The Evolution of the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise
This article examines how the UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), along with the development of performance indicators, fits into the production of research within a changing policy context. The historical evolution of the RAE from 1985-2001 is considered, before looking specifically at how research output (in the form of journal publications) was, and is, assessed. Such changes in output measurements necessitated a move from quantitative to q…
Could the 1978 Nobel Prizewinner in Chemistry Have Been Predicted
The 1978 Nobel Prizewinner for Chemistry (Peter Mitchell) would not have been predicted by tests previously proposed, unless his exceptional tendency to publish as sole author could have been taken into account
A Method of Predicting Nobel Prizewinners in Chemistry
A study was carried out to test Garfield's claim that citation counting can be used to predict Nobel prizewinners. Using a sample of 83 eminent chemists, it was found that receipt of the Nobel Prize is indeed correlated with citation counts, but that it is more strongly correlated with the number of papers co- authored in which the senior author's name is not the first in the list of authors. This result was tested out on the 1976 Nobel prizewinn…
