Aphrodisias is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Greek and Roman periods in Turkey, famous in antiquity for its sanctuary of Aphrodite and its virtuoso sculptors. Excavations at Aphrodisias have been carried out since 1961 and have revealed an unusually well-preserved and picturesque ancient town, which makes an indelible impression on visitors and brings the civic culture of the Graeco-Roman world vividly to life. In tandem with the publication of their book Aphrodisias…

Deep Blue has begun automatically acquiring U-M authored works published by BioMed Central (BMC) using the SWORD protocol. Our first batch batch from them added 23 items to our Interdisciplinary and Peer-Reviewed collection. Older articles will start to flow in shortly, and from now on the articles will come to Deep Blue as they appear in BMC journals.
We recently completed an analysis of current U-M authors represented in Deep Blue. There are a lot of ways to look at the data, but the most compelling statistic is probably this one: roughly 55% of our full time professors have work in the service.
