How useful is LinkedIn for scientists?
I'm a recent graduate and relatively new to LinkedIn. I'm interested in learning about other LinkedIn users' experiences, particularly for those in science. Has LinkedIn been professionally valuable for you? Or just another version of Facebook?
I have posted a four question survey about the utility of LinkedIn on my website. I will compile and post the results on my site and LinkedIn as they come in. Thanks in advance to any willing to take it!

Given the group's title, I thought everyone might appreciate this relative neologism: "Proteus Phenomenon". http://www.wordspy.com/words/Proteusphenomenon.asp

A new open access journal for the life sciences: "eLife wants topublish the most highly influential research across all of life and biomedical science"..."eLife is a unique collaboration between scientists and science funders. Top scientists from all over the world drive eLife, from the senior editorial team to the over 150 researchers who serve on our Board of Reviewing Editors."

Wow, it's so much easier to follow discussions in this group now that the join notifications are gone from the feed. I hope this leads to more commenting!

Journal of Errology is giving away a free iPad to researchers submitting the stories behind their published paper.. Hurry up with your submissions.... http://www.recyclexp.net/2012/08/do-radical-research-campaign.html
Researchers we need submissions on the Journal of Errology, we are trying to reinvent the process of sharing the complete information connected with your research. Please find the journal at: www.bioflukes.com
I asked this on LinkedIn the other day. Which is the Version of Record (VoR) in an online journal? I have found this document which defines the VoR:
http://www.niso.org/publications/rp/RP-8-2008.pdf
but it doesn't answer the question.
My problem is that a paper comes in different formats, in the case of PLoS, say, PDF, html, XML. If I find an anomaly (years from now) between these, does one take precedence? If not we are in dangerous territory.

Kaveh Bazargan I agree, there will be errors, and of course that is why CrossMark is a good initiative and should be supported. But those errors should be present in all formats of the same publication.
And I fully support holding the XML as the definitive source, but *only* if it really is the definitive source. If the PDF has had more attention, and is the de...

Alf Eaton Both the XML and the PDF should be stored, ideally (and all the other components, such as data and images); it's often not possible to regenerate the PDF version from the XML alone.

Kaveh Bazargan Hi Alf. But my problem still remains. Here is a scenario:
Say it is 10 years hence and the author of a paper has passed away. I write a paper citing the article, reading the html, which links to a video, say "video 1". Another researcher reads the PDF which links to "video 2". We need to clear up which is the video the author intended to embed. We...

The best way to reinvent scientific papers is to look again the musics by Chopin and Bethoven. They were the genious scientists and they had hidden the scientific messages in their music. They, too we're somehow distorted, but it,s much better than so- called scientific theories which were mostly revised and restored.

The survey will remain open indefinitely. I will continue to update the results as they come in. I will also perform statistical analyses after I have accumulated a larger sample size.
Thanks to all who have participated!
