Scientific publishing is headed towards inevitable reform. Anthony is working from the bottom up. PLoS is working from the top down. Lots of others in between. Most of us have the power to work from the bottom up, so why not join Anthony, Mark, others? - Steve Koch

Oh gosh - Steve Koch

that sucks! not sure how to fix it :( - Steve Koch

You can zoom and drag the screen though. And the horizontal arrows link to sub-pages - Steve Koch

For Lab#2 in Junior lab this week, students forked my starting project and then pushed some of their own work to github. This is a network graph that I don't understand much but looks very cool, especially as far as our goal of having the students learn git and github goes. - Steve Koch

Seems excellent for me as an R beginner - Steve Koch

thanks for the link! i've been looking to get into r and i do love a good scatterplot... - Marie

Asked my first question on stackoverflow. Got two great answers within a couple hours. I love the crowd! - Steve Koch

Anthony found this paper and so far it seems excellent. First, I find it fascinating that isotopic fractionation in space-station water regeneration systems is a health issue to deal with. Second, it seems to be a good review of background research, especially of some documents which appear to be in Russsian. - Steve Koch

Is that post about you? - Anthony Salvagno

The post was indeed about Steve. From my own tenure documents, providing metrics on open source software like OpenMD and Jmol was fairly easy - downloads statistics and lists of other groups actively using the software for their own research was helpful. I think finding convincing metrics for other scientific contributions is much harder, particularly for Wikipedia contributions, OpenWetware protocols, and blog posts. Page views would probably not have as much weight as a metric that proves that your contribution is used by others. Perhaps a count of the number of dissertations that have entire paragraphs stolen from your wikipedia article. (That suggestion is only partly tongue-in-cheek.) - Dan Gezelter

Whoops. Github link was truncated https://github.com/olendor... - Steve Koch

Yes. I'm working on this where I am. It's slow going. - RepoRat

AWESOME :) - Steve Koch

I fueled the project with $20...I was tempted to waive the gift, but think it will be pretty cool to receive the postcard from Daniel wherever he is when he receives the donation. - Steve Koch
