The first post is dedicated to email alerts. It’s unimaginable, in 2010, that an alert service would not provide an RSS feed, so I can only assume that this feature will appear “in due course”. In the meantime, a quick Google search for create rss feed from website lead me to 7 Tools To Make An RSS Feed Of Any Website. I quickly tested them all and I agree with the author of the article: Feed43 is the winner. The process for creating a Google Scholar feed is a little complex. Here’s my first attempt. Update: interesting FriendFeed thread, where people point out that (a) scraping Google Scholar is quite likely to fail and (b) this is not the same as an alert, since results are not ordered by date. 1.

It appeared she had used the same search for both databases: alopecea areata and diphenciprone (a drug with a lot of synonyms). Searching TRIP for alopecea (in the title) only, we found a Cochrane [...] (Source: Laika's MedLibLog) Laika's MedLibLog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3644720 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:45:09 +0100 3644720 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2222287&cid=t_116767_86_f&fid=34461&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdigicmb.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F02%2Fgoogle-scholar-search-performance.html Image via WikipediaJust spotted: Google Scholar Search Performance: Comparative Recall and Precision William H. Walters portal: Libraries and the Academy, Volume 9, Number 1, January 2009, pp. 5-24 (Article) DOI: 10.1353/pla.0.0034 Abstract:This paper presents a comparative evaluation of Google Scholar and 11 other bibliographic databases (Academic Search Elite, AgeLine, ArticleFirst, EconLit, GEOBASE, MEDLINE, PAIS International, POPLINE, Social Sciences Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, and SocINDEX), focusing on search performance within the multidisciplinary field of later-life migration. The results of simple keyword searches are evaluated with reference to a set of 155 relevant articles identified in advance. In terms of both recall and precision, Google Scholar performs b...

Our new government has just thrown out an assessment exercise named the Research Quality Framework (RQF) - it will be replaced with something very similar, no doubt. Disturbingly, Thomson Scientific were given a licensing agreement by the previous government to supply the data for the RQF. Imagine my delight to find newspaper articles discussing the shortcomings of impact factors, the rise of Google Scholar and the open-source software of Anne-Wil Harzing: Research Review Heats Up “…commercial rivals such as Elsevier’s Scopus database and software built on Google Scholar have entered the market while the rise of research assessment linked to promotion a...

Patterns detection for nodes with only one edge, and cycles etc, using Taverna. An example data she worked on is the Palsson human metabolism (doi:10.1073/pnas.0610772104); she mentioned that this metabolite data set contains cocaine :) Neil Chue Hong finished with an introduction on the OMII-UK which is co-host of this meeting.After lunch Mark Wilkinson introduced BioMoby, which we actually use in Wageningen already.
