Open Notebook Science History[edit] The term "open notebook science"[6] was first used in a blog post by Jean-Claude Bradley, an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Drexel University. Bradley described open notebook science as follows:[7] ... there is a URL to a laboratory notebook that is freely available and indexed on common search engines. It does not necessarily have to look like a paper notebook but it is essential that all of the information available to the researchers to make their conclusions is equally available to the rest of the world—Jean-Claude Bradley Practitioners[edit] Active[edit] Experimental[edit] Jean-Claude Bradley[8]Andrew S.I.D.

Enabling Open Scholarship - Open Access policies for universities and research institutions Conference Berlin7 Les premières journées de la Science Ouverte - Sciencesconf.org Jeudi 06 décembre Ministère de l’enseignement supérieur, de la recherche et de l’innovation - Amphi Poincaré | 09.00 - 18.00 L'évaluation par les pairs L'évaluation est considérée comme un facteur crucial de conservatisme dans les communautés scientifiques. Faut-il pour autant que la science ouverte s'impose de nouvelles modalités, mesures et pratiques d'évaluation ? Parmi les multiples pratiques d'évaluation portant sur les projets, les résultats, les données, les communications, les publications et les personnes, nous avons choisi d'aborder deux chantiers en cours de transformation par la science ouverte. D'une part, nous traiterons de la question du peer review pour les articles et livres, du point de vue des collectifs qui organisent l'évaluation de manuscrits. D'autre part, nous traiterons de la question d'une évaluation dans un monde qui ne serait plus dominé par l'obsession des supports de publication, et en particulier du Journal impact factor.

Berlin 9 Open Access Conference 2011 Science Europe – cOAlition S On 4 September 2018, a group of national research funding organisations, with the support of the European Commission and the European Research Council (ERC), announced the launch of cOAlition S, an initiative to make full and immediate Open Access to research publications a reality. It is built around Plan S, which consists of one target and 10 principles. cOAlition S signals the commitment to implement, by 1 January 2020, the necessary measures to fulfil its main principle: “By 2020 scientific publications that result from research funded by public grants provided by participating national and European research councils and funding bodies, must be published in compliant Open Access Journals or on compliant Open Access Platforms.” cOAlition S currently comprises 13 national research funding organisations and two charitable foundations from 13 countries who have agreed to implement the 10 principles of Plan S in a coordinated way, together with the European Commission and the ERC.
Why Hasn’t Scientific Publishing Been Disrupted Already Photo from iStockphoto. Looking back on 2009, there was one particular note that seemed to sound repeatedly, resonating through the professional discourse at conferences and in posts throughout the blogosphere: the likelihood of disruptive change afoot in the scientific publishing industry. Here in the digital pages of the Scholarly Kitchen, for example, we covered John Wilbanks’ presentation at SSP IN and Michael Nielsen’s talk at the 2009 STM Conference. They were both thoughtful presentations and I agree with many of the points raised by both speakers. I think Wilbanks is right when he says that thinking of information in terms of specific containers (e.g. books, journals, etc.) presents an opening to organizations in adjacent spaces who are able to innovate without the constraints of existing formats. It has occurred to me, however, that I would likely have agreed with arguments that scientific publishing was about to be disrupted a decade ago—or even earlier. And yet it has.
Innovation, Transforming Discovery, and Citizen Science to be Highlighted at Berlin 9 Open Access Conference -- Program Annou... For immediate release August 1, 2011 (Washington, DC) The program for the international Berlin 9 Open Access meeting has been announced today by the organizing coalition. Focusing on the impact of Open Access in research and scholarship, the event will explore how open, online access has the potential to transform the process of discovery and the translation of knowledge into benefits to society, as well as to enhance public engagement and create new opportunities for scholarship and business. This ninth installment in the Berlin Open Access conference series, which convenes leaders in the science, humanities, research, funding, and policy communities around The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, will take place at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, MD, on November 9 & 10, 2011, with pre-conference meetings planned for November 8th, in Washington, DC. Meeting Sponsorships are now being welcomed. For more information, contact:
C&EN: COVER STORY - OPENING ACCESS Time was, a researcher typed a manuscript and mailed it to a publisher. If the manuscript made it through peer review and was accepted, the author could expect the article to appear in a printed journal some months later. How times have changed. Now a researcher submits a digital manuscript, which the publisher passes on to reviewers, who may offer feedback in as little as a day. As soon as a manuscript is accepted, it may be posted on a journal's website, before or after the paper goes through digital editing and production. Digital capabilities clearly have enhanced the publishing process, and in isolation, they might have left the fundamentals of the journal market unchanged. First, prices for many journals that cover science, technology, and medicine (STM) have risen substantially over the past decade, particularly for those produced by commercial publishers. Publishers who choose to commit to open access also have to decide how open the access should be. Steven M.
