Based on a sample size of 31,216 papers, we find that a paper in a median impact factor journal uploaded to Academia.edu receives 16% more citations after one year than a similar article not available online, 51% more citations after three years, and 69% after five years. We also found that articles also posted to Academia.edu had 58% more citations than articles only posted to other online venues, such as personal and departmental home pages, after five years.

Review of Muqtada by Patrick Cockburn
Shi'i Iraqi leader Muqtada al-Sadr's versions of nationalism and Islamism are contradictory, and ... more Shi'i Iraqi leader Muqtada al-Sadr's versions of nationalism and Islamism are contradictory, and express deep-rooted conflicts in the Sadrist movement. Sadr's genuine desire for a theocratic government is contradictory in theory and in practice to his equally genuine Iraqi nationalism. Such contradictions are to be expected because of two central tensions. First, Sadr's 'internal' mode of authority within the Sadrist movement, which is charismatic, pulls him to elevate himself to a position where the divine truth he speaks is unchallenged. This is intension with the 'external' basis for his support, which pushes Iraqis into his movement in the first place: hostility to the U.S. occupation, which motivates Sadr to attempt to unite all Iraqis under his banner. Second, the strategic logic of the guerrilla war against the U.S. pushes Sadr to an inclusive nationalism in the search for allies, while the strategic logic of defense against Sunni sectarian terrorists pushes him to organize on a communal, exclusively Shi'i basis.

∙ A tax increase on landlord revenue to capture windfall profits from the real estate boom and ongoing gentrification;
∙ An anti-speculation tax on market-distorting property flips;
∙ A reform of Oakland’s sales tax to make it less regressive by pairing a nominal rate increase with a rebate to all residents;
∙ Putting a price on carbon emissions;
∙ Making use of vacant city-owned property;
∙ A better deal for the City from the Port of Oakland;
∙ Eliminating the fiscal (as well as human) costs of police abuse;
∙ Recovering damages from bank fraud and discriminatory lending.
On a few points reflects the campaign's positions rather than my personal opinion. I owe thanks to JP Massar for his help with research and editing.

... more Policy paper written for Dan Siegel's 2014 campaign for Mayor of Oakland. Argues that the Port:
∙ Mitigate the multiple health impacts of seaport traffic on West Oakland, as well as air pollution associated with the airport;
∙ Impose the fees needed to discourage pollution and recoup the costs of its operation to the public, in collaboration with its regional peers to the extent possible;
∙ Ensure that its employees and those of its business partners have safe working conditions, the right to organize, and receive a living wage;
∙ Partner with nonprofits, worker cooperatives and local small businesses; and
∙ Transfer its surplus revenue to the City, as mandated in its charter.
On a few points reflects the campaign's positions rather than my personal opinion. I owe thanks to JP Massar, Michael Kaufman, Peter Clark and Peter Stokes for help with research and editing.
