William Gunn The Top 10 papers in Biological Sciences by Mendeley readership. With the Mendeley for Life Scientists webinar coming up on Thursday, I thought I would take a look at the readership stats for Biological Sciences. Biological Sciences has long been our biggest discipline, and having done my doctoral work in the Life Sciences, I knew this would be interesting. Overall, researchers in bioinformatics contributed most strongly to the most read papers, along with the older disciplines of micro- and molecular biology. Regardless of discipline, however, it's clear that the days of toiling away in isolation to thoroughly study one gene are over. Today, it's all about huge consortia and massive data. Here's what I found

Becoming Human is an interactive documentary experience that tells the story of our origins. Journey through four million years of human evolution with your guide, Donald Johanson.

"Science is a scheme for thinking and solving issues using evidence. It requires hypotheses, i.e. potential truths that require examination. A hypothesis or scientific idea is only as strong as the evidence to support it. Strong evidence is predictive and reproducible, weak evidence is less so. Scientific thinking gives greater weight to the stronger evidence base."

Standards for Web Content Interoperability The Open Archives Initiative develops and promotes interoperability standards that aim to facilitate the efficient dissemination of content. OAI has its roots in the open access and institutional repository movements. Continued support of this work remains a cornerstone of the Open Archives program. Over time, however, the work of OAI has expanded to promote broad access to digital resources for eScholarship, eLearning, and eScience.

"Die meisten klassischen Publikationsformen der Wissenschaft entstanden im 17. Jahrhundert: Sie gehen zurück auf Briefsammlungen, die wissenschaftliche Gesellschaften untereinander verschickten. Die Verteilungszyklen richteten sich nach der Frequenz des Postkutschenverkehrs, weshalb man die Briefe für den Versand zusammenband. Dieses Prozedere aufgrund von fast vierhundert Jahren alten Strukturen brachte schließlich die in Ausgaben bestimmter Journale organisierten Artikel hervor."
