Getting Found, Staying Found, Increasing Impact: Enhancing Readership and Preserving Content for OJS Journals, Second Edition.
Publishing a journal is about more than simply putting ink to paper (or pixels to screen). It is a collaboration between you and your readers. Two critical aspects of this relationship are, first, making your journal visible to your prospective audience. By putting your content online and making it freely available through open access, you can be reaching of millions of people around the world. But if they don’t know you are out there, they will not be able to become part of your scholarly community. Second, once you have your content in place, and have established an audience of dedicated readers, you will want to ensure that your journal is always available – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Unlike paper publications, electronic journals can disappear rather easily, either temporarily or permanently. Regular downtime caused by an unreliable server environment, or worse, complete loss of your content due to a lack of any kind of backup or preservation strategy, can seriously undermine your credibility with your readers, or even totally wipe out all of the work you and your collaborators have done together.
This revised edition of Getting Found, Staying Found highlights many aspects of the publishing process that are important for increasing your journal’s “findability” and building a wider audience. Moreover, it will also show you how to ensure reliable and ongoing access to your valuable content. Much of the information in this resource is intended to be generic and could be applied to any journal, using any software platform. However, the authors have opted to include additional information pertaining to the Open Journal Systems (OJS) software developed by the Public Knowledge Project to provide further illustrations of how to apply this information in a real-world setting
Valuation of Ecosystem Services in Trinity County, California
xvii, 141 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number.This study considers the role of the forest ecosystem in Trinity County,
California's economy. I seek to better understand the natural resource-based economy of
a national forest-proximate community by creating a framework that describes the
resource flows into and out of Trinity County and guides ecosystem services valuation
within the County. Thus, this study examines the monetary benefits that ecosystem
functions create through delivery of goods such as water, energy, and timber and also
estimates the value of services, such as recreation, carbon sequestration, and amenity
value. Finally, this study examines how money is spent to maintain the ecosystem
functions that create these goods and services, such as who pays to maintain water collection and filtration capacity or habitat. Ultimately, this study offers insight into
opportunities and limitations for ecosystem services valuation at the county level, and
considerations for future attempts to value ecosystem services.Committee in Charge:

Mitigating hERG Inhibition: Design of Orally Bioavailable CCR5 Antagonists as Potent Inhibitors of R5 HIV-1 Replication
A series of CCR5 antagonists representing the thiophene-3-yl-methyl
ureas were designed that met the pharmacological criteria for HIV-1
inhibition and mitigated a human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG)
inhibition liability. Reducing lipophilicity was the main design criteria
used to identify compounds that did not inhibit the hERG channel,
but subtle structural modifications were also important. Interestingly,
within this series, compounds with low hERG inhibition prolonged the
action potential duration (APD) in dog Purkinje fibers, suggesting
a mixed effect on cardiac ion channels
