Open Source Communism: Open Source CommunismI don't participate much in the OA Debate, largely because I see the outcome as a foregone conclusion. What we are seeing now is the reaction of publishers with an established business model (read license to print money) being threatened by change. Given that OA will not be going away, in my opinion what publishers should be doing is thinking creatively and developing new business models for scientific publishing. Update: It gets better according to Cognitive Daily, apparently the the images used on the PRISM website were in violation of copyright law. Blog around the clock has the definitive roundup post for more reactions.

Dear Collegue,

The 1st International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (iCBBE2007) was held successfully from July 7th to 9th, 2007 at RAMADA hotel, Wuhan, China. More than 250 authors coming from 15 countries attended the conference. Now all the accepted papers are included in IEEE Xplore and EI Inspec, and will be indexed by EI Compendex soon.

Home of the SciView.

I've been a long time Nodalpoint reader. I've recently been blogging about about my research and various technologies relevant to bioinformatics. I would love to be considered for the blogroll.

Biology, Informatics and the Web

I plan to do some site maintenance (including the wiki), starting in about 20 min or so and I expect it will talk an hour (probably less). So if you're planning to post or edit something (unlikely) hold off for a while. I'll be on IRC (irc.freenode.net, #nodalpoint) if you're interested to know what's going on in real time.

Update: Both the Drupal and wiki upgrades are complete. Read on for details...

Blog on bioinformatics, genomics, and their application to ubiquitin/proteasome research

Walking the Web of Chemical Informatics

The past month or so has seen a mini-explosion in new blogs of interest to our readers. I've added half a dozen or so to the wiki list. Feel free to edit or add new ones if you have wiki access, or submit suggestions either via submit weblink or as a comment here.

I know I've forgotten one or two, please don't be offended!
