		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: The <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ostp/library/publicaccess">RFIs have now been posted</a> and there's a <a href="https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/oppose-hr3699-research-works-act/vKMhCX9k">petition opposing the RWA</a> on whitehouse.gov.

The US White House Office of Science and Technology Policy recently issued a <a href="http://federalregister.gov/a/2011-28623">Request for Information</a> on their existing policy requiring some federally-funded work to be submitted to Pubmed Central, where it's freely accessible to the public. We were pleased to have the opportunity to respond and a summary of our response is below.  Before getting into that, however, I'd like to take a little detour and talk a little about our mission and how that relates to the scholarly endeavor. Our mission at Mendeley is to help researchers organize research, collaborate easily with colleagues, and discover new research.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It isn’t to obtain tenure. And it isn’t for money. Although to some, that is what publishing has become. The rationale for why we publish is (should be) to communicate results to as great an audience as possible and advance our understanding of the world around us. At Mendeley, we started to wonder how we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The result of too many PhDs has meant a surplus of academics doing multiple post-doc tours of duty, lower wages, and a waste of tax payer money. All would be fine if there were enough jobs outside of academia to support those researchers in industry and government, but there are not. Let's clarify that, there are not enough jobs willing to pay PhDs what they are really worth. And guess what that gets you? Sure, some really smart and passionate lovers of science who stick with it, but overall the smart people move on to careers outside of science where there is money. You lose your talent. Instead, we should be considering alternative models that will increase well paid jobs both in and outside of academia.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jessica Hammer, a Mellon Interdisciplinary Graduate Research Fellow at Columbia University, shares her candid thoughts about Mendeley. She spills the beans on what made her start using it, as well as her likes and dislikes about the best tool yet for managing her heavy-duty research life. Thank you, Jessica, for taking the time to chat! You’ve helped us to kick off what may be a brand new series of Mendeley stories - as told by our users themselves. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We held another Mendeley Open Office on Friday, November 26, 2010. Trying something new, we are now doing talks. And as promised, here is the talk I gave on increasing the visibility of your research. I've added speech bubbles to the slides to give some of them more context in case you were not here to listen to it live. I also added a little more information that wasn't on a few of the slides on the actual evening.]]></description>
