************************************************************* From: Ed Llewellin <ed.llewellin@xxxxxxxxxxxx> ************************************************************* Dear Volcanologists, I am delighted to announce a new online service for the volcanology community: http://www.pubvolc.net PubVolc is a new online database of recent volcanology publications. Authors (i.e. you!) can upload details of their recent journal articles (http://www.pubvolc.net/submit.php5) where they can be viewed by other users (http://www.pubvolc.net/archive.php5). At the end of each month, a digest of all the articles submitted that month will be sent to the volcano listserv, where it will reach thousands of other volcanologists around the world. One of the key aims of PubVolc is to improve access to recent research for scientists in under-resourced institutions, which cannot afford journal subscriptions. If you include the email address of the reprint author when submitting an article (the address is held internally on the PubVolc server, and never revealed to anyone) then interested readers of PubVolc can click on a link to request a reprint of your article. PubVolc offers three benefits: 1) For authors: your article will reach the global volcanology community rapidly, even if it is published outside the usual volcanology literature. 2) For researchers: keeping up-to-date with recent research will be significantly easier, saving you time. 3) For the under-resourced: you can request reprints direct from the authors even if you do not have journal subscriptions. To get the ball rolling, publications from JVGR and Bull. Volc. for January, February and March, 2008 have already been added to the database. Now it is up to the user-community to continue to add new publications. Up until the end of this month (30th April) you will be able to add articles from 2007 and 2008. From May 1st onwards, only articles from 2008 will be accepted. To read more about PubVolc, how to upload your articles, and what kinds of articles are accepted, visit http://www.pubvolc.net/about.php5 Best wishes, Ed Llewellin. ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
