I'm David Goodman
- user name: DavidGoodman; email: dgoodmanny@gmail.com; WP name: DGG
- currently working in CZ on: open access and related topics
CV (abridged)
- B.S. Brooklyn College, (math)
- Ph.D Berkeley, (Molecular biology--Gunther Stent's lab)
- Post-Doc, Berkeley, (Evolutionary biochemistry--Allen Wilson's lab)
- Assistant Prof. of Biochemistry, Rutgers-Newark
- MLS Rutgers
- Chemistry Librarian, Princeton
- Biology Librarian, Princeton
- Biological Sciences Bibliographer & Research Librarian, Princeton
- Assoc. Prof. of Library Science, Long isand Univ.
- very temporarily retired.
Current projects:
- ProjectCOUNTER: Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources.
- Open access (analysis & advocacy)
- Online resources (reviewer and consultant)
- Scientific publishing (navigating between publishers & libraries)
Interests in CZ:
- Writing Library-related and publishing-related pages
- Writing some of the general biology pages
- Checking the biology for the parts I know enough
- Possibly working on some of the sexuality-related pages
- Reference sources for anything (writing or editing)
- Getting the Public Domain articles in science sourced & upgraded
- I expect to do more revising than original writing.
Working style:
- I prefer to work incrementally, in hour-size chunks.
- I'll work with anyone who's willing to work with me
- I like to consult on major changes, and to negotiate off-line
CZ possible minority positions:
- Sensitive topics can (& must) be written about, & I'm willing to try--"family friendly" (an unfortunate terms as it is generally a code word for censorship according to the dictates of U.S. religious fundamentalists and extreme right wing politicians), should here mean anything that someone in a family might want to know.
- Distrust of academic specialists who think too much of their credentials
- Joint effort is usually better than the work of a single author.
- Almost all math & science articles can & should be written so those without a degree in the subject can understand some of it--and the same for any seemingly esoteric subject.
WP minority positions:
- Using Public Domain sources without exact quotations is plagiarism.
- Point of view forks are the clearest way of handling some topics.
- Web sources, even blogs, can be used as Reliable sources for determining notability. The world has changed since WP started.
(Relatively) absolutist position in any context:
- Freedom of speech.
Biases (not usually obvious here, I hope):
- Marxist, Atheist, Jewish, Academic, Internationalist
