- 3. SESSION GOALS Briefly discuss some of the factors (that are driving change in the area of STEM information resources Touch on the opportunities/challenges presented by these changes for the STEM information researcher Cover thematic STEM resources (search, patents, data and datasets) Take a brief look at some subject specific resources Questions and answers
- 4. A FEW CONSIDERATIONS Content will varyeveryones top STEM resources will all be different Illustrative examples; additional resources are listed on the following slide Excellent health and science subscription information resources--- Focus on this session will primarily be open access resources Aimed at intermediate level researchers
- 5. OLD STEM PUBLISHING MODEL Ideas debated in the scientific literatureprimarily journals---strongest ideas advance science Most respected science journals have peer- reviewed (double blind) selection process Tenure, career advancement tied into publication
- 6. RISE OF OPEN ACCESS Open access started in the STEM community arguably perhaps the largest impact there PLoS One is the now largest peer-reviewed STEM journal in the world Traditional models of STEM publishing upended; publishing and peer-review processes evolving Government mandates, social changes creating more opportunities for publishing STEM material than ever before
