OA – OAIG, but Johannes will say moreOB – RDTFOC – Open Citation (Oxford), Repositories (Soton)OD – MRD programme, infrastructure, policies, culture - data publication, citation... (Outcomes from Prato)Literature as data – SAPIENT-Automation, UKPMC and textmining, linking to data, integrated environment for research and discovery.Note problems found by UBIRD study (with publishers) of complex and fragile resource discovery / access for researchers.Implies shifting boundaries, responsibilities, rights, etc across the scholarly record and associated value chains.
Science 2.0? Probably notThe evidence is patchy. On the one hand, a recent RIN report found that some researchers of all ages are beginning to use tools such as Zotero and OpenWetWare, but this it is not widespread, even among tech savvy doctoral students according to early findings from the JISC/BL study on “Researchers of Tomorrow”. Another recent report found that such early career researchers are inhibited from greater use of social media because they do not find enough of their professional network using them yet. On the other hand, the December 2010 report from the JISC Research Communications Strategist stated that one such service, Mendeley, now has 52 million documents, with 653,575 users from 15,557 institutions. A recent Nature article also describes some, albeit slow, uptake of ‘Science 2.0’ services such as ResearchGATE and VIVO, mainly by working with institutions and companies rather than individual researchers. The RCS report suggests that it is services such as these, which add value to researchers’ work at little or no additional cost in terms of their time, and which recognise existing academic practice and the imperatives of research management, that are the key to any move toward a more open, social scholarship.http://www.rin.ac.uk/our-work/communicating-and-disseminating-research/use-and-relevance-web-20-researchershttp://www.efc.co.uk/projects/researchers_of_tomorrow.jsphttp://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/programmes/vre/earlycareerresearchers.pdfhttp://ie-repository.jisc.ac.uk/502/http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/2010/101216/full/nj7326-993a.htmlWebtracksTo specify and implement the Intercom Protocol so that it can communicate a range of types of semantic links between resources via a secure communication mechanism. To develop a practical working scenario involving data repositories, publication repositories, open science notebooks and publishers. To develop aggregation techniques supporting added value services in search and impact analysis. To evaluate of the approach with the identified stakeholders groups. Webtracks outputs:Specification of the InteRCom protocol Development of generic, open-source packages for InteRCom sender and receiver services Development of demonstration tools to provide aggregator services based on the link graph Development of a exemplar services within the exemplars to search for associated resources, to provide provenance traces, and to analyse citation graphs for impact analysis Evaluation report on the integrated case study Project workshop to engage key stakeholder communities, including repository managers, publishers, facility and discipline user communities, developers within the semantic web (M10)The purpose of the ADMIRAL Project is to create a two-tier federated data management infrastructure for use by life science researchers, that will provide services to:meet their local data management needs for the collection, digital organization, metadata annotation and controlled sharing of biological datasets; andprovide an easy and secure route for archiving annotated datasets, complete with assigned Digital Object Identifiers and Creative Commons open access licences, to an institutional repository for long-term preservation and accessAims and objectivesprovide a local easy-to-use data management system for the collection, digital organisation, annotation, secure storage and automated backup of biological datasets, especially of image and spreadsheet datacreate controlled web access to these datasets, permitting owners to share access within their research group and with trusted colleaguesprovide the ability for researchers to upload their datasets easily from our local ADMIRAL data store to the Oxford University DataBank for long-term archiving and preservation, by an automated ingest process, using metadata previously acquired, organized and packaged with the datasetsCollaborate:The discussion we had at last weeks KE VRE Working Group was that the key message is: VREs are crucial to the success of the European Research Area and as research becomes more global VREs will help support international research and be an enabler to collaboration. This is quite a general message at the moment but it will be discussed further at the KE VRE roundtable discussion on 12 May. The programme for the roundtable is: Project showcases; What is next in VREs (relevant national studies and papers, international perspectives); Sustaining VREs; What policy makers and funders can do to help; Policy and strategic drivers. We should have a clearer idea following the roundtable on how to sustain VREs, identifying the business case for them and create the groundwork for future funding. Anne Sandfaer from DEFF and Chair of the KE Open Access Group was at the recent KE VRE meeting and will be at the Open Access meeting so she should be representing the VRE group.CompeteRIM and transaction data, Symplectic,SciVal, ...Open data, open standards, cost-effectiveness...Note JISC Journal Usage Stats Portal as an example where collective action by HE can support individual HEIs competing against each other.
New models exploiting these approaches: - arXiv – invisible hand plus journal peer review - Economics (Germany) – two-stage review (i) peer review of scientific integrity, (ii) open peer commentary plus metrics - Faculty of 1000 – post-publication reviews (subscription service) over OA content - PLoS, Sage Open, Nature Scientific reports, etc – review for scientific integrity then publish, then metrics (PLoS) - BMJ Open – open peer commentaryNote all based on OA content, usually using CC licences. Business model requires “reuse”, sometimes commercial reuse...UK House of Commons review into peer review
JISC BCE work: - What HEIs need to do to support open innovation – IPR, policies, practice... - CRM and Research expertise self-assessment toolkits - Testing and extending VRE tools to support business collaboration - Access mgmt for business collaboration - Access to business resources via HEIsJISC+TSB – workshop on re-use of data for business intelligence and other applications, and we're planning a joint work shop, mapping our relevant projects across linked data, geo, research data to TSB data projects. We started to develop the idea of mapping a lifecycle for data re-use. Zoe and I also discussed the issues of re-use around data and the value that can be derived, and where open data can drive commercial models, revenue, knowledge. We agreed to explore this and to make it clear to the DBIS that we are. - Developer and innovators: - TSB’s “IC Tomorrow” platform for content owners and app developers to test drive ideas and applications with a closed group of consumers (sign-up here) using content from major content owners including Sony Music, Getty Images and Crytek. - JISC’s DevCSI

Venue
Quality and value in open, social scholarship
Dr Neil JacobsProgramme Director
Open Scholarship
Putting the scholarly record on the web:
A – Open Access
B – Open Bibliography
C – Open Citation
D – Open Data
The scholarly record as a special kind of “data” for researchers
Social Scholarship
Evolution, not revolution...
Quality
Scientific integrity (peer review, semantic citations, “invisible hand”)
Relevance (peer review, comments, transaction data, citations)
Significance (peer review, comments, transaction data, citations)
“Beyond Impact” workshop 9-11 May, Wellcome Trust, London
Value
Cost-benefits of OA demonstrated by
Houghton et al (Aus, UK, Denmark, Netherlands, US)
CEPA (co-sponsored by publishers, funders and libraries).
Forthcoming joint report notes
UK has 1.8m knowledge workers.
A single publisher turned away 14m potential users in 6 months.
Benefits of OA to private sector, public sector (outside universities), voluntary and community organisations
Value of UK academics’ work on peer review is estimated at well over €120m per year.
Cost-benefits of open bibliography, citation and data are less well established, but...
Science as intelligence for knowledge economy/society
The Economist, 25th February 2010
Credit-card companies monitor every purchase and can identify fraudulent ones with a high degree of accuracy, using rules derived by crunching through billions of transactions
In health care, the digitisation of records would make it much easier to spot and monitor health trends and evaluate the effectiveness of different treatments.
In science policy:
- MESUR
- STAR-Metrics
Core infrastructure:
- Shared data models
- Core identifier sets
- Repositories
And:
- Legal frameworks and tools
- Quality assurance with value-for-money
