   Yes, UOP first deleted all the links to my pdfs; more recently they’ve deleted my page entirely. Great. There is some stuff on the ‘About’ page at Tet Zoo.

   Seems silly of UoP to do that rather than keep your pages up or have them listed as ‘Former Staff’ and thus bask in your reflected glory. While I am given to irony, that’s not. I’d think they’d want to point to you as an example for current and prospective students. Nothing like the example of someone who loves what he’s studying to encourage others.

   Or perhaps it’s the ‘laziness’. :-)

   Quite!

   It seems pathetically short-sighted of universities to shut down the websites and e-mail accounts of ex-students. I’d still be sauropod@berkeley.edu if that option was open (it’s not), and I never bothered to set up a webpage within the Department of Integrative Biology at Berkeley because I knew it would go away after I left. It’s the 21st century, FFS. Digital space, measured however you want, is, to a first approximation, free. The pennies it would cost to keep me in a webpage and e-mail for the rest of my career would be a damn good advertising investment, if I do say so myself.

   Thanks to all of you for finding the dead links. I literally just copied and pasted all of this from ADV, and I haven’t checked anything in a while. Please keep them coming–I will save your corrections and update the list soon, and probably weekly or as needed on a continuing basis.

    You might also want to add PaleoBios to the list.

    Another open access journal worth mentioning here is Biogeosciences, also with an interesting two-stage peer review scheme that allows the review to be performed entirely in public, but reviewers may choose to remain anonymous if they prefer.

    Hi, Gareth, thanks for the notification that your old page is no longer in place. I removed the link.

    Unfortunately, I can’t add the new one, since it’s only a list of references and doesn’t contain any open-access full text. (And this is the Open Access Bio and Paleo page). Please let us know if you have a page of PDFs somewhere, and we’ll be delighted to add it.

    There is also the Bulletin of Geosciences (http://www.geology.cz/bulletin/index.php). To be honest, I’m rather surprised how little it’s known among vertebrate paleontologists.

    How about adding a section on this list for data repositories, which could include Dryad http://datadryad.org/ Dryad publishes data associated with published articles in biology & paleontology, preserves it and makes it freely available, and works with journals and societies to make data archiving simple and rewarding.

    That is an excellent idea, Peggy. Thanks.

    Thanks for this list. There’s now a better and up-todate curated open access -only search tool, over at http://www.jurn.org The OA search tool you have at the top of your list was last updated in 2006.
