It was via today’s SPARC enews , the “Resources for Authors” section that I found an interview with Dr. Zhigang Suo, now at Harvard, and formerly of Princeton, entitled:
“Thoughts on digital scholarship in engineering”
In this piece he discusses the web site iMechnica, which he created with Teng Li.
The mission of the website is twofold:
- “to use the internet to enhance communication among people in mechanics”
- “to pave a way to evolve all knowledge of mechanics online”.
IMechanica is free, and completely open access. It has at least 3,600 registers users.
SPARC = Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition
Another path to this information is through Create Change a site created by SPARC and the Association of Research Libraries
“Cases in Point> A look at the diverse paths change is taking
Changes in how scholarship is conducted and communicated are playing out in different ways in different fields. See perspectives from scholars of: Chemistry | Computer Science | Engineering | History | Humanities | Mathematics | Medicine | Microbiology [more…]”

Why access of me to imechanica http://www.imechanica.org is rejected?
