innovation in scholary communication
TRANSCRIPT
Scholarly communication
entire ecosystem through which research and other scholarly writings are created, evaluated for quality, disseminated to the scholarly community, and preserved for future use
Science 2.0

Traditional pipeline
Tools requiring institute license
Open science pipeline
Tools accessible to researchers
Discovery
PubCrawler is a free "alerting" servicethat scans daily updates to the NCBIMedline (PubMed) and GenBank(Entrez) databases using searchparameters specified by the user.
Analysis
Electronic lab books and management tools
Bioinformatic tools
Ingenuity Pathway analysis (IPA) is acommercial web-based analysis toolto model, analyze, andunderstand the complex biologicaland chemical systems.
Some of its features are:- structure & function of isoforms- pathway comparison- network analysis- disease and biological function
Writing
Reference management and sharing
+ PDF annotation
Zotero is a free and open-sourcereference management software tomanage bibliographic data andrelated research materials (such asPDF files).
Some of its features are:- web browser integration- online library syncing- library sharing- in-text citations, footnotes and
bibliographies using wordprocessors
PaperShip is a tablet client for referencemanagement and pdf annotation.
Some of its features are:- library syncing (Mendeley, Zotero)- Pdf download- Pdf annotation (highlighting, notes)- Pdf sharing- altmetrics
Pre-publication
copyright & self-archiving
Pre-print servers
Sherpa/Romeo is a website listingpublishers' copyright agreements andretained author rights.
Copyright & self-archiving
bioRxiv is a free online archive forpreprints in the life sciences, enablingauthors to make their findingsimmediately available to the scientificcommunity and receive feedback ondraft manuscripts before they aresubmitted to journals.
A few journals will not considerarticles that have been posted topreprint servers which can be foundon SHERPA/RoMEO.
Pre-print servers
Publication
Publication & Post publication (peer) review
Open peer review
F1000 research is open accesspublishing platform offeringimmediate publication, open peerreview and full data deposition andsharing.
open peer review
PubPeer is a website that allowsacademics to engage in post-publication peer review, and hashighlighted shortcomings in severalhigh-profile papers, in some casesleading to retractions.
Post publication peer review
Retraction Watch is a blog thatreports on retractions of scientificpapers.
Post publication peer review
Data sharing
Figshare is an online digital repositorywhere researchers can make their researchoutputs available in a citable, shareableand discoverable manner, includingfigures, datasets, images, and videos.
Data receive a permanent digital objectidentifier (doi) which can be included inthe published paper.
Outreach
ResearchGate is a social networking site forresearchers to- share papers- ask and answer questions- find collaborators
Assessment & impact
researcher identifiers and author metrics
Altmetrics
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)assigns a non-proprietary alphanumeric codeto uniquely identify academic authors.
It is an open source web-app that allowsother web-apps to use its open applicationprogram interface (API) and mine its opendata.
ORCID is adopted by- Publishers (PLOS, Nature, Elsevier)- Funders (Wellcome Trust, NIH)- institutions
ORCID does NOT provide information onimpact.
researcher identifier
Google Scholar is a freely accessible websearch engine that indexes the full text ormetadata of scholarly literature across anarray of publishing formats and disciplinesincluding pre prints, theses, books, universityrepositories, articles, …
The caveat is that as an author you need tocheck for accuracy as it does NOT use aunique researcher identifier.
Google Scholar does provide information onpublication impact, ie h-index.
author metrics
Impact Story is an open source, web-based tool that measures the impact ofall research outputs, including journalpapers but also alternative researchoutputs such as peer reviews(Publons), datasets, presentations andwebpages.
Metrics include:- # citations- # mentions (twitter, blogs)- # saves- # views
Altmetrics
