Els Repositoris Institucionals suposen un element nou en l'entorn universitari pel que fa a la comunicaci cientfica i a la presncia digital de la producci de les universitats. Per l'entorn digital evoluciona molt rpidament, aix com els diferents agents implicats en la publicaci cientfica. El canvi ms important en la comunicaci web que s'ha donat en els ltims anys ha estat l'aparici dels serveis englobats sota l'etiqueta Web 2.0 en qu s'inclouen diferents serveis per compartir enllaos, objectes digitals, gestionar relacions socials, reutilitzar informaci, etc. Algunes publicacions cientfiques ja estan oferint aquest tipus de serveis. El present treball analitza el grau d'implantaci d'aquest tipus de serveis en l'mbit dels dipsits institucionals espanyols. Per aix en primer lloc s'identifiquen els tipus de serveis considerats 2.0 i que poden ser d'utilitat per a la comunicaci cientfica. En segon lloc es comptabilitza quines d'aquestes possibilitats son ofertes pels repositoris i per ltim s'analitzen els resultats per a comprovar les accions realitzades i identificar les possibles lnies de millora.

La comunicaci cientfica t en els dipsits institucionals una de les seves instruments fonamentals. En els ltims anys estem observant un rpid creixement en el nombre de dipsits i tamb en el volum dels seus continguts. A la vegada es constata que els esforos s'estan concentrant en incrementar la seva presncia i en afavorir el dipsit de noves obres per part dels seus autors. Pel contrari, es troben a faltar poltiques i accions que prevegin i assegurin la sostenibilitat i la preservaci futura dels dipsits. La comunicaci analitzar la realitat actual, a nivell espanyol i internacional, de les accions a favor de la preservaci dels dipsits institucionals, entre elles: els programaris utilitzats i l'existncia de poltiques explcites. Finalment es desenvoluparan els elements mnims que hauria de contenir un pla d'acci per assegurar la sostenibilitat i la preservaci futura de qualsevol arxiu.

Study of the publication models and the means of accessing scientific literature in the current environment of digital communication and the web. The text introduces the concept of journal article as a well-defined and stable unit within the publishing world, and as a nucleus on which professional and scholarly communication has been based since its beginnings in the 17th century. The transformation of scientific communication that the digital world has enabled is analysed. Descriptions are provided of some of the practices undertaken by authors, research organisations, publishers and library-related institutions as a response to the new possibilities being unveiled for articles, both as products as well as for their creation and distribution processes. These transformations affect the very nature of articles as a minimal unit -both unique and stable- of scientific communication. The article concludes by noting that under varying documentary forms of publisher aggregation and bibliographic control -sometimes simultaneously and, even, apparently contradictory- there flourishes a more pluralistic type of scientific communication. This pluralism offers: more possibilities for communication among authors; fewer levels of intermediaries such as agents that intervene and provide added value to the products; greater availability for users both economically speaking and from the point of view of access; and greater interaction and wealth of contents, thanks to the new hypertext and multimedia possibilities.

Aquest projecte ha estat impulsat per lObservatori de la Divulgaci de la Cincia (ODC) de la UAB i dut a terme a lInstitut de Cincia i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA). Est emmarcat dins el marc del nou Programa Europeu Horizon 2020 i ms especficament dels conceptes establerts per la RRI. Lobjectiu daquest projecte s analitzar la comunicaci cientfica que duu a terme lICTA cap a al societat i conixer la filosofia, els incentius i la motivaci de lICTA i els seus investigadors per donar a conixer la seva recerca a la ciutadania. Lanlisi de la comunicaci de lICTA consta dun anlisi del contingut de la pgina web del centre de recerca, una entrevista feta a la directora de linstitut i un qestionari realitzat a 14 investigadors Les formes de comunicaci que ms utilitzen sn els articles cientfics en revistes dirigides a pblic acadmic. Respecte la comunicaci no acadmica, sha pogut observar que la majoria dels investigadors, tot i la manca de facilitats realitzaven activitats per inters personal, molts cops per, no comuniquen la seva recerca, principalment perqu tenen altres tasques de docncia, de recerca i gesti per atendre. Hi ha una minoria que es refereix a la comunicaci cientfica com un estil essencialment vocacional. Per tal dimpulsar i promoure una estratgia contnua i efectiva de comunicaci cientfica cal definir un pla de comunicaci a nivell institucional que contribueixi a millorar les capacitats divulgatives, comunicatives i educatives de lICTA per tal dajudar a les persones que hi fan recerca a apropar la seva tasca a la societat a la que pertanyen.

The movement for open access to science seeks to achieve unrestricted and free access to academic publications on the Internet. To this end, two mechanisms have been established: the gold road, in which scientific journals are openly accessible, and the green road, in which publications are self-archived in repositories. The publication of the Finch Report in 2012, advocating exclusively the adoption of the gold road, generated a debate as to whether either of the two options should be prioritized. The recommendations of the Finch Report stirred controversy among academicians specialized in open access issues, who felt that the role played by repositories was not adequately considered and because the green road places the burden of publishing costs basically on authors. The Finch Report"s conclusions are compatible with the characteristics of science communication in the UK and they could surely also be applied to the (few) countries with a powerful publishing industry and substantial research funding. In Spain, both the current national legislation and the existing rules at universities largely advocate the green road. This is directly related to the structure of scientific communication in Spain, where many journals have little commercial significance, the system of charging a fee to authors has not been adopted, and there is a good repository infrastructure. As for open access policies, the performance of the scientific communication system in each country should be carefully analyzed to determine the most suitable open access strategy.

Con este nuevo nmero, la revista Intangible Capital, inicia el cuarto volumen avanzando hacia el quinto ao de publicacin. Como ya es tradicin en la revista, iniciamos este nuevo volumen evaluando el anterior y presentando las nuevas direcciones. Como principales aportaciones del 2007, se destacan hechos relevantes como la renovacin de convenios para la indexacin cientfica de la revista, el cambio de plataforma a OJS, la inclusin de un nuevo editor, la nueva composicin del editorial board, el equipo de revisores, el cambio a un modelo bilinge de revista, la nueva financiacin obtenida y el trabajo que estamos realizando gran nmero de editores cientficos de acceso abierto en Espaa para el reconocimiento por parte de la Comisin Nacional Evaluadora de la Actividad Investigadora.This issue opens the fourth volume of the Intangible Capital journal, which makes its way towards the fifth year of publication. As usually, we start this volume by evaluating the previous one and tracing new directions. Among the main contributions during the year 2007, we consider important to highlight the following aspects: the renewal of the scientific indexation agreements, the platform change to OJS, the appointment of a new editor, new members included in the editorial board, the board of reviewers, the change towards a bilingual model, the new financing obtained and, the last but not the least, the work undertaken together with many scientific editors of open access Spanish journals for obtaining the positive evaluation of the CNEAI (National Commission for the Evaluation of the Research Activity) and thus, being a proof of scientific excellence

The recent surge in scientific electronic journals began when libraries began having access to the WWW in the mid-1990s. The shift from paper to digital has affected the traditional alignment and role of the primary "stakeholders" -mainly authors, publishers, universities and libraries. The author offers a brief review of the history of the scholarly journal followed by the evolution of e-journals in during the past two decades. The article then focuses on the implications that these have had on traditional library processes and services such as selection, acquisitions, cataloguing, storage, preservation and user services. In the conclusion the author speculates on the long term effect of Web-based publishing on the format of the traditional scholarly journal as it has existed for over 300 years.

Aim of study: To identify species of wood samples based on common names and anatomical analyses of their transversal surfaces (without microscopic preparations). Area of study: Spain and South America Material and methods: The test was carried out on a batch of 15 lumber samples deposited in the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid, from the expedition by Ruiz and Pavon (1777-1811). The first stage of the methodology is to search and to make a critical analysis of the databases which list common nomenclature along with scientific nomenclature. A geographic filter was then applied to the information resulting from the samples with a more restricted distribution. Finally an anatomical verification was carried out with a pocket microscope with a magnification of x40, equipped with a 50 micrometers resolution scale. Main results: The identification of the wood based exclusively on the common name is not useful due to the high number of alternative possibilities (14 for naranjo, 10 for bano, etc.). The common name of one of the samples (huachapel mulato) enabled the geographic origin of the samples to be accurately located to the shipyard area in Guayaquil (Ecuador). Given that Ruiz y Pavon did not travel to Ecuador, the specimens must have been obtained by Tafalla. It was possible to determine correctly 67% of the lumber samples from the batch. In 17% of the cases the methodology did not provide a reliable identification. Research highlights: It was possible to determine correctly 67% of the lumber samples from the batch and their geographic provenance. The identification of the wood based exclusively on the common name is not useful.

In this paper, 27 studies from the last decade which deal more or less explicitly with the International New Venture, global start-up or born-global phenomenon are first identified, and then fully examined and critically assessed as a basis for obtaining an adequate view of the state-of-the-art of this increasingly important research avenue in the field of International Entrepreneurship (IE). The methodology used for this synthetic review allow us to analyze a number of recent, purposefully-chosen studies that are systematically compared along the following criteria: 1) main objective and type of research; 2) theoretical framework/s of reference, 3) methodological issues, and 4) main findings and/or conclusions. As a result of this literature review, a critical assessment follows in which the most relevant benefits and contributions as well as potential drawbacks, limitations or major discrepancies in the research activities conducted so far are discussed. Finally, some suggestions and implications are provided in the form of future research directions.

We analyze a continuous-time bilateral double auction in the presence of two-sided incomplete information and a smallest money unit. A distinguishing feature of our model is that intermediate concessions are not observable by the adversary: they are only communicated to a passive auctioneer. An alternative interpretation is that of mediated bargaining. We show that an equilibrium using only the extreme agreements always exists and display the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of (perfect Bayesian) equilibra which yield intermediate agreements. For the symmetric case with uniform type distribution we numerically calculate the equilibria. We find that the equilibrium which does not use compromise agreements is the least efficient, however, the rest of the equilibria yield the lower social welfare the higher number of compromise agreements are used.

Estudi realitzat a partir duna estada a Bell Labs (Lucent Technologies), New Jersey (Estats Units), entre el 15 de setembre de 2005 i el 15 de gener de 2006. Els sistemes de transmissi per fibra ptica fonamenten les principals xarxes de comunicacions. A mesura que la demanda dample de banda per usuari creixi, seran necessaris nous sistemes que siguin capaos de cobrir les necessitats a curt i llarg termini. La tecnologia dels sistemes ptics limita fortament la complexitat dels sistemes de transmissi / recepci en comparaci, per exemple, als sistemes dones de rdio. La tendncia s la de dissenyar sistemes avanats amb detecci directa i mirar daplicar tcniques bsiques de processat del senyal. Una daquestes tcniques s lequalitzaci electrnica, s a dir, fer s de les tcniques de processament del senyal per tal de compensar la distorsi introduda pel canal, deguda per una o diverses degradacions tpiques: dispersi cromtica, efectes no lineals, dispersi del mode de polaritzaci (PMD) ... Dins dun entorn comercial dempresa, sha avaluat el funcionament dels sistemes dequalitzaci FFE-DFE aixi com MLSE en presncia de dispersi cromtica i/o dispersi del mode de polaritzaci (PMD) en transmissions NRZ/RZ.

This paper investigates experimentally how organisational decision processes affect the moral motivations of actors inside a firm that must forego profits to reduce harming a third party. In a "vertical" treatment, one insider unilaterally sets the harm-reduction strategy; the other can only accept or quit. In a "horizontal" treatment, the insiders decide by consensus. Our 2-by-2 design also controls for communication effects. In our data, communication makes vertical firms more ethical; voice appears to mitigate "responsibility-alleviation" in that subordinates with voice feel responsible for what their firms do. Vertical firms are then more ethical than the horizontal firms for which our bargaining data reveal a dynamic form of responsibility-alleviation and our chat data indicate a strong "insider-outsider" effect.
