• Question on Open Access Funding June 13, 2018
  Hi Everyone - I wanted to see if anyone knows of potential funding sources that could be pursued for a journal special issue. My colleagues and I are wrapping one up and I am interested in making it open access. The title/topic is "Interdisciplinary approaches for uncovering the impacts of

  Except I should have said with every article, not for every article. CiteScore, like IF, is a journal metric. David On Jun 9, 2018, at 8:50 AM, Anthony Watkinson wrote: Sounds plausible Get Outlook for iOS On Sat, Jun 9, 2018 at 7:42 AM -0500, "David Wojick"

• new OSI website coming soon June 8, 2018
  Hi Folks, It’s been a while since I’ve bothered you with an email. Hopefully all is going well as your school years approach an end and your “summer” (depending on which side of the planet you live) plans take shape. As you know, OSI is now moving into the “action” phase of its work. The
