@jmarlesw @Stephen_Curry You can play with the price tracker at bit.ly/JQTfHs Reed flat since end 2008, didn't recover as FT100 did 1:26 PM May 30th via TweetDeck
@jmarlesw @Stephen_Curry Actually, Reed's London share price tracked the FT100 since start of year. No effect of 'academic spring' - yet! 1:24 PM May 30th via TweetDeck

@grace_baynes so why are they seeking free version I wonder? HINARI et al not set-up correctly in some countries? 5:48 AM May 29th via TweetCaster for iOS from Brussels, Brussels in reply to grace_baynes
openaccess_be it's not publisher vs. repository: relationship is symbiotical rather than parasitical #peer2012 5:22 AM May 29th via web Retweeted by RLUK_David
Largest usage of PEER comes from developing countries. Aren't they covered by HINARI, AGORA, etc? #peer2012 5:19 AM May 29th via TweetCaster for iOS from Brussels, Brussels
Ian Rowlands: randomised trial shows if #oa version available on PEER repository there is an increase in usage on publisher site #peer2012 5:14 AM May 29th via TweetCaster for iOS from Brussels, Brussels
Ian Rowlands: 'You would be hard pressed to make the case that PEER had badly impacted publisher use' #peer2012 To put it mildly! 4:57 AM May 29th via TweetCaster for iOS from Brussels, Brussels

We're getting reaction to the PEER results before getting the results! #peer2012 2:27 AM May 29th via TweetCaster for iOS from Brussels, Brussels
