https://www.braintest.org/brain_test/BrainTest

A portal of online studies that encourage community participation to tackle the most challenging problems in neuropsychiatry, including attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Our approach is to engage the community and try to recruit tens of thousands of people to spend an hour of their time on our site. You folks will provide data in both brain tests and questionnaires, as well as DNA, and in return, we will provide some information about your brain and behavior. You will also be entered to win amazon.com gift cards. While large collaborative efforts were made in genetics in order to discover the secrets of the human genome, there are still many mysteries about the behaviors that are seen in complex neuropsychiatric syndromes and the underlying biology that gives rise to these behaviors. We know that it will require studying tens of thousands of people to begin to answer these questions. Having you, the public, as a research partner is the only way to achieve that kind of investment. This site will try to reach that goal, by combining high-throughput behavioral assessment using questionnaires and game-like cognitive tests. You provide the data and then we will provide information and feedback about why you should help us achieve our goals and how it benefits everyone in the world. We believe that through this online study, we can better understand memory and attention behaviors in the general population and their genetic basis, which will in turn allow us to better characterize how these behaviors go awry in people who suffer from mental illness. In the end, we hope this will provide better, more personalized treatment options, and ultimately prevention of these widespread and extremely debilitating brain diseases. We will use the data we collect to try to identify the genetic basis for memory and impulse control, for example. If we can achieve this goal, maybe we can then do more targeted research to understand how the biology goes awry in people who have problems with cognition, including memory and impulse control, like those diagnosed with ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorders. By participating in our research, you can learn about mental illness and health and help researchers tackle these complex problems. We can''t do it without your help.

http://www.soros.org/openaccess/

The purpose of the Budapest Open Access Initiative was to accelerate progress in the international effort to make research articles in all academic fields freely available on the internet. The participants represented many points of view, many academic disciplines, and many nations, and had experience with many of the ongoing initiatives that make up the open access movement. In Budapest they explored how the separate initiatives could work together to achieve broader, deeper, and faster success. They explored the most effective and affordable strategies for serving the interests of research, researchers, and the institutions and societies that support research. Finally, they explored how OSI and other foundations could use their resources most productively to aid the transition to open access and to make open-access publishing economically self-sustaining. The result is the Budapest Open Access Initiative. It is at once a statement of principle, a statement of strategy, and a statement of commitment. The initiative has been signed by the Budapest participants and a growing number of individuals and organizations from around the world who represent researchers, universities, laboratories, libraries, foundations, journals, publishers, learned societies, and kindred open-access initiatives. We invite the signatures, support, and participation of the entire world scientific and scholarly community.

http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com/

The British Psychological Society''s award-winning Research Digest blog provides original, authoritative reports on the latest psychology research papers. Plus we publish a few other fun features too. The Digest doesn''t just pick up on the same studies covered by the mainstream media. The editor trawls hundreds of peer-reviewed journals looking for the latest findings from across the breadth of psychological science. The aim is to write accessible, accurate reports on those studies that make an important contribution, that are relevant to real life, timely, novel or thought-provoking. We want to demonstrate how interesting and useful psychological science can be, whilst also casting a critical eye over the methods used. We also hope you''ll use the comments function to have your say on the new research reported here. There are also ''Extras'' posts with links to eye-catching studies that didn''t make the final cut, and the ''Special Issue Spotter'' with links to the latest journal special issues in psychology. Over the years there have also been a number of special guest features - look out for more in the future. In 2010 the Digest was voted best psychology blog in the inaugural Research Blogging awards.
