The prestigious open-access journal New Journal of Physics has just launched a video abstracts service for authors, providing a way for authors to personalise their work and bring a new dimension to published papers. The example embedded into this post comes from IBM Zurich. The collection of all author videos to date can be found at http://www.njp.org/videoabstracts

Three weeks later, who is reading my blog?
2
Well, I’ve been spending many hours of my evenings and weekends writing this blog. Ya know, like all blogs, this stuff doesn’t just happen! I’m sitting here at my computer writing and editing for up to 6 hours a day (on weekends) in addition to a pretty full-on day job in STM publishing. So I took a look at the statistics of who is reading this stuff and where the visits are coming from. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! In the short time this blog has been active I’ve had nearly 1000 visits from more than 20 countries! Including the Seychelles and Mauritius! So, I’d like to say hello to all visitors, but especially to everyone from the top three non-UK (and non-Google, but bless you!) countries: Germany, India and France. One thing that all bloggers have to manage is SPAM, and I can tell you that I’ve already had a fair amount from those scumbags. That is why I have to moderate all comments, so that you, dear readers, do not see that garbage. Be assured I report all SPAM posts to relevant sites.
So, dear reader, if you have a few moments to say hello, do please write a comment to let me know if the content is useful, or not useful, or what should be covered here. After all, I work in publishing where peer review is critical to what we do.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Cheers
Graham
Comments are now enabled
Having started to feel comfortable with WordPress I have enabled comments on nearly all the published posts, and for future posts too — at least until the spam gets to me! Comments are moderated so will not appear until approved by the site administrators. I hope that the material appearing here is of use and interest, after all that’s why I’m writing it :-). So do please feel free to comment or suggest ideas for topics that could be included.
Cheers
Graham
