ABSTRACT
The goal of the RMap Project is to create a prototype service that can capture and preserve maps of relationships amongst the increasingly distributed components (article, data, software, workflow objects, multimedia, etc.) that comprise the new model for scholarly publication. The demonstration will provide a tour of some of the features of the initial web service prototype. This will include examples of Distributed Scholarly Complex Objects (DiSCOs) and associated provenance data in RMap, as well as some of the options that users might have for interacting with the framework.

Who support open access publishing? Gender, discipline, seniority and other factors associated with academics' OA practice
This paper presents the findings from a survey study of UK academics and their publishing behaviour. The aim of this study is to investigate academics' attitudes towards and practice of open access (OA) publishing. The results are based on a survey ...
Mendeley readership altmetrics for the social sciences and humanities: Research evaluation and knowledge flows
Although there is evidence that counting the readers of an article in the social reference site, Mendeley, may help to capture its research impact, the extent to which this is true for different scientific fields is unknown. In this study, we compare ...
