In case it didn't already crosspost: Cites & Insights 15:4 (April 2015) is now available, consisting of a multipart essay (citations and commentary) on the economics of open access journals. More info here: http://walt.lishost.org/2015...
Apparently the blog posts (Walt at Random and a Blogger blog) do reach people, even on a Sunday night: there were 110 downloads (64 two-column, 46 one-column) as of 5 a.m. this morning, before I did any social network announcements.

A suggestion for the announcement blog post. You've done so many OA-themed C&Is the last year or so I at least would find it very valuable to have all of them briefly linked at the bottom of the post. From a selfish perspective, I'll be posting on the new Canadian OA policy today and being able to link to a bunch of other resources so easily would be handy.

That's a good idea...made more complicated by the probable announcement this week of a weekly series of OA posts for the next 28-36 weeks (The Open Access Landscape: X, where X is a subject, all expanding on one brief chapter in this summer's Lib Tech Report). Still...I'll think about it. Maybe a special post?

Sure, that would work too. And once you make the list, it's easy to copy, paste & quickly modify the html into subsequent posts. It's what I do for my graphic novel book review posts: http://scienceblogs.com/confess...

Done. Being lazy, I just edited it down (in Word--which edits HTML just fine) from the Table of Contents page, then used Word's wonderful little "post to blog" feature to upload it. http://walt.lishost.org/2015...

Thanks! I will very likely be, uh, repurposing the list for my own purposes. With attribution, of course.

And that probably picks up most everything since the Lulu collection of 2010...
- John Dupuis
I'm pretty sure it does; the Lulu collection covers through 2009.

Bump: The power of Twitter (and John Dupuis): One day (and several tweets) later, as of 5 a.m. Tuesday there are 692 downloads of C&I 15.4--that's impressive (582 in one day). Thanks, John!
