Cites & Insights 16:6 (July 2016) available

Cites & Insights 16:6 (July 2016) is now available for downloading at citesandinsights.info/civ16i6.pdf

The 2-column print version is 14 pages. If you're reading it online or on a tablet, you may prefer the 27-page 6" x 9" single-column edition.

This issue includes the following:

The Front pp. 1-2

The release of Gold Open Access Journals 2011-2015: A Subject Approach and revisions to growth/shrinkage tables in both books, and a quick update on the final piece: The Countries of OAWorld, out sometime in July.

Media: Of Magazines and Newspapers pp. 2-14

It's been two years since a magazine roundup (and I repeat some of that essay, with updates) and much longer since notes on newspapers. This piece offers some stats and comments on both--neither of which is going away or going all-digital any time soon.

Cites & Insights 16:5 (June 2016) available

The June 2016 issue of Cites & Insights (volume 16, issue 5) is now available for downloading.

The issue consists of a brief introduction and excerpts from Gold Open Access Journals 2011-2015--roughly one-third of the book.

The link above is to the single-column 6x9" version intended for online/tablet reading, because the page size and column width are the same as the book. That version, http://citesandinsights.info/civ16i5on.pdf, is 74 pages long.

The two-column print-oriented version at http://citesandinsights.info/civ16i5.pdf is 32 pages long, but some tables have very small type.

The July issue may be on a non-OA topic. If there is a July issue: I'm working on two bonus book-length supplements to the book.
