• The author grants to all users: a free, irrevocable, worldwide right of access a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit and

display the work publicly

The Changing Nature of Research in Science

“Instead of spending six months doing an experiment which you can then understand in an afternoon when you're done, you can do an experiment in an afternoon and it takes you six months to figure out what you've got.”*

*Chronicle: Learning to Swim in the Rising Tide of Scientific Data

“Enriched” publications


Bas Savenije

“Well in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else - if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
