Re: Open Access Overload

google scholar hasn't really hit a broad audience yet in the older science community and a lot of professors still say it is incomplete. pubmed is still the standard for bio stuff.

I think the best thing you can do is make sure you get your journal indexed by pubmed. that way everyone will find it. pubmed will also provide links to the fulltext article. so that helps.

And while this is hands down a good thing, it also brings up a possible access problem. Before, one only had to search pubmed for bio/med or arxiv for phys/math and you could be fairly certain you were searching most everything. But now, pretty much anyone can launch their own journal/repository (Heck! I'm looking into launching a Citizen Science one as I type this). So rambling aside what do yall see as a solution for this? Mendeley? Google Scholar?
