An amazing referencing tool

Griffith University created a very cool, easy to use online Referencing Tool with examples in the AGPS Harvard, APA, MLA, and Vancouver styles for a number of media types and heaps of different formats.

On open access publishing

Remember Jane, the journal/author name estimator which helps you decide which journal you should submit your paper to? Now here are some websites that may support you with retaining some rights in your intellectual output instead of handing them all over to the publishers.

Sherpa Romeo Here you can do a search by journal title to find out if the journal is published by a green, blue, yellow or white publisher:
Green publishers - allowing archiving of both pre-prints and post-prints
Blue publishers - allowing archiving of post-prints but not pre-prints
Yellow publishers - allowing archiving of pre-prints but not post-prints
White publishers - no archiving allowed

SPARC Practical guidance when submitting journal articles. Here you will also find a SPARC sample addendum. SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition is an international alliance of academic and research libraries working to correct imbalances in the scholarly publishing system.

Which journal to submit your article to?

"Have you recently written a paper, but you're not sure to which journal you should submit it? Or maybe you want to find relevant articles to cite in your paper? Or are you an editor, and do you need to find reviewers for a particular paper? Jane can help!
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 millions of documents in Medline to find the best matching journals, authors or articles. Instead of using a title or abstract, you can also search using a keyword search, similar to popular web search engines."

Directory of open access journals

The aim of the Directory of Open Access Journals is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. It is hosted, maintained and partly funded by Lund University Libraries Head Office (Sweden). The Directory aims to be comprehensive and cover all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use an appropriate quality control system, and it will not be limited to particular languages or subject areas. Currently it lists 43 dentistry, 311 medicine, and 126 public health open access journals.

Free online course in ethical aspects of human research

The US National Cancer Institute, and possibly the broader NIH now require all recipients of research grants to provide evidence that they have completed a "course" in ethical aspects of human research. Their free in-house course called Protecting Human Research Participants can be done on-line and will get you a certificate. This may come in handy for some researchers.
