The model had been shown to work.

New and exciting kid on the block: PeerJ | A Blog Around The Clock, Scientific American Blog Network

“As many of you know, before accepting a job at Scientific American, I worked at PLoS for three years (and became a vocal Open Access Evangelist even before that). While there, I worked closely with Pete Binfield who replaced Chris Surridge as managing editor of PLoS ONE shortly after my arrival there. Pete and I became friends, bumped into each other at meetings, he came to ScienceOnline at least a couple of times, and we remained in frequent contact after my move.”

Should authorship be limited to principal investigators, or should we also include project managers, database builders, web designers, and student assistants?

Pourquoi ne faut-il pas ouvrir les liens dans une nouvelle fenêtre ?

À l’activation ils ne s’attendent donc pas à voir le lien s’ouvrir dans une nouvelle fenêtre. Et surtout ils savent que s’ils souhaitent ouvrir le lien dans une nouvelle fenêtre ils pourront le faire avec un « click molette », un « contrôle-click » ou un menu contextuel.
