New Internet technologies are radically enhancing the speed and ease of scholarly communications, and are providing opportunities for conducting and sharing research in new ways. This webliography explores the emerging “open science” and “crowd science” movements which are making use of these new opportunities to increase collaboration and openness in scientific research. The collaboration of many researchers on a project can enhance the rate of data-collection and analysis, and ignite new ideas. In addition, since there are more eyes to spot any inaccuracies or errors, collaborative research is likely to produce better quality results. Openness early in the research process alerts others to the work resulting in less duplication of efforts.

  • Open Science and the Role of Publishers in Reproducible Research
    Open science and the role of publishers in reproducible research Authors: Iain Hrynaszkiewicz (Faculty of 1000), Peter Li (BGI), Scott Edmunds (BGI) Chapter summary Reproducible computational research is and will be facilitated by the wide availability of scientific data, literature and code which is freely accessible and, furthermore, licensed such that it can be reused, inteGrated and built upon to drive new scientific discoveries without leGal impediments. Scholarly publishers have an important role in encouraGing and mandating the availability of data and code accordinG to community norms and best practices, and developinG innovative mechanisms and platforms for sharinG and publishinG products of research, beyond papers in journals. Open access publishers, in particular the first commercial open access publisher BioMed Central, have played a key role in the development of policies on open access and open data, and increasing the use by scientists of leGal tools – licenses and waivers – which maximize reproducibility. Collaborations, between publishers and funders of scientific research, are vital for the successful implementation of reproducible research policies. The genomics and, latterly, other ‘omics communities historically have been leaders in the creation and wide adoption of policies on public availability of data. This has been throuGh policies, such as Fort Lauderdale and the Bermuda Principles; infrastructure, such as the INSDC databases; and incentives, such as conditions of journal publication. We review some of these policies and practices, and how these events relate to the open access publishinG movement. We describe the implementation and adoption of licenses and waivers prepared by Creative Commons, in science publishinG, with a focus on licensing of research data published in scholarly journals and data repositories.

    PLOS 2013/2014 PROGRESS UPDATE 2 FrOM ThE ChAIr AnD CEO PLOS has been dedicated to leading a transformation in scientific research communication since its inception. The organization begins its second decade as a publisher by rededicating itself to creating and promoting the most effective means of scientific communication possible. In an age of constant and rapid change, PLOS believes that research assessment is in need of reinvention. One-time pre-publication review must be replaced by continual assessment that offers findings without unnecessary delay and fosters the evolution of scientific ideas over time. PLOS has taken important steps toward this ideal with open evaluation to explore alternative assessments of research outcomes, assessment of impact at the article level rather than by journal and by augmenting the depth of Article-Level Metrics through crowdsourcing of media coverage. Traditional publishing models and the static PDF are insufficient for 21 st century scientific communication. Integral to its effort to move beyond the article, PLOS implemented a new Data Policy that encourages scientific dialogue by ensuring access to the data that underlies the research findings. This in turn advances research through corollary improvements in quality, reproducibility and appropriate credit. Fortunately, growing momentum in Open Access research and policies frees scientific outputs from the constraints of traditional publishing models, accelerates dissemination of knowledge and engages communities in active dialogue and participation. PLOS exists because of the vital contributions of authors, readers, reviewers, editors, advisors, funders, librarians, policy advocates and staff. The active support of this extended community is critical to continue driving research communication towards its full potential.

  • Excellence R Us: University Research and the Fetishisation of Excellence
    1 Excellence R Us: University Research and the Fetishisation of Excellence Samuel Moore, Cameron Neylon, Martin Paul Eve, Daniel Paul O’Donnell, Damian Pattinson1 Abstract The rhetoric of “excellence” is pervasive across the academy. It is used to refer to research outputs as well as researchers, theory and education, individuals and organisations, from art history to zoology. But what does “excellence” mean? Does it in fact mean anything at all? And is the pervasive narrative of excellence and competition a good thing? Drawing on a range of sources we interrogate “excellence” as a concept and find that it has no intrinsic meaning as used in the academy. Rather it functions as a linguistic interchange mechanism or boundary object. To investigate whether linguistic function is useful we examine how excellence rhetoric combines with narratives of scarcity and competition and show that hypercompetition that arises leads to a performance of “excellence” that is completely at odds with the qualities of good research. We trace the roots of issues in reproducibility, fraud, as well as diversity to the stories we tell ourselves as researchers and offer an alternative rhetoric based on soundness. “Excellence” is not excellent, it is a pernicious and dangerous rhetoric that undermines the very foundations of good research and scholarship. Introduction: The Ubiquity of Excellence Rhetoric “Excellence” is the gold standard of the University world. Institutional mission statements proclaim, in almost identical language, their “international reputation for [educational] excellence” (Baylor, Imperial College London, Loughborough University, Monash University, The University of Sheffield are amongst many examples of institutions using these words), or the extent to which they are guided by principles of “excellence” (University of Cambridge, Carnegie Mellon, Gustav Adolphus, University College London, Warwick, again, among many).

  • Objectives of the Workshop May 20, 2010
    Objectives of the Workshop May 20, 2010 To crowd‐open source the electronic printing press of the 21st century with the goal of improving how science is disseminated and comprehended. The current objectives of the workshop are: 1. To define the requirements of various classes of user (reader, author, publisher, reviewer, editor, librarian etc.) that need to be met when developing research objects (RO) that extend the features of a scientific research article beyond that typically embodied in a PDF today to take full advantage of the power of the Internet. This includes, but is not limited to: a. Providing knowledge and data integration – currently the data associated with a research article are typically not available, or in a disparate database, or computationally unusable as a supplement to a PDF, b. Bringing additional senses to the problem ‐ enhance the meaning and/or comprehension of science through the use of rich media (video and podcasts) which are not included with a PDF, or if available divorced (i.e., not integrated) with the work. c. Provide reproducibility ‐ the PDF does not capture the workflow nor any of the discourse associated with the work. d. Provides Interoperability with other ROs and with other forms of discourse e.g., blogs. e. Provide interactivity ‐ the ability to interact with the content in context sensitive ways. f. Provide a living document – additional commentary, reviews, further discourse etc. can be added to the RO at any time and an audit trail maintained. g. Provide new bibliometrics – allow a more meaningful evaluation and reward system for the original work and those that critique it.
