Printed articles increasingly rely on online supplements to store critical scientific information, but such data may eventually become unavailable. We checked the current availability of online supplementary scientific information published in six top‐cited scientific journals (Science, Nature, Cell, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA). Here we show that in 4.7% and 9.6% of articles with online supplementary material, some of the…

The Use of the World Wide Web by Medical Journals in 2003 and 2005: An Observational Study
TLDR
The aim was to characterize ways that journals were using the World Wide Web in 2005 and note changes since 2003 and there was little evidence of journals using the Web to provide readers an interactive experience with the data or with each other.
Public Availability of Published Research Data in High-Impact Journals
TLDR
A substantial proportion of original research papers published in high-impact journals are either not subject to any data availability policies, or do not adhere to the data availability instructions in their respective journals.
Policies regarding public availability of published research data in pediatrics journals
TLDR
No correlation was found between the value of a journal’s impact factor and the availability of open data, and the policies on openness in sharing scientific research data in a sample of pediatric journals.
The Prevalence and Inaccessibility of Internet References in the Biomedical Literature at the Time of Publication
TLDR
The prevalence of Internet citations in journals included in PubMed is small (<1%); however, the inaccessibility rate at the time of publication is considered substantial.

Visualising a scientific article
TLDR
This paper describes my entry in the Elsevier Grand Challenge “Knowledge Enhancement in the Life Sciences” contest, which takes a collection of fulltext issues of Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution as the starting point, then extracts citation links to both papers and data, together with geotagged localities, and builds a “web” of objects linked by typed relationships.
