APA and NIH Open Access Archiving

The Chronicle of Higher Education posted a blog article about the American Psychological Association's new policy to charge a fee to authors. The APA is re-examining this fee. Please read the Document Deposit Procedures for APA Journals. It reads that there is a fee for archiving articles in PubMed Central, however, the fee is an authorized grant expense for which authors can recieve reimbursement.

China Earthquake Geospatial Research Portal

Harvard University's Center for Geographic Analysis and Center for Chinese Studies has partnered with the University of Michigan's China Data Center and Chinese University at Hong Kong's Institute of Space and Earth Information Science to create the China Earthquake Geospatial Research Portal. The CEGRP's mission is to speed-up assistance, support long term assessment and rehabilitation, and to provide a permenant archive for future research. Interested researchers and citizens can view and download data, as well as contribute to the archive.
