Software is increasingly been recognized as valuable research output but there’s still a perceived lack of consistent processes for software citation. Sophia Dörner hosted a session on exactly this question to collect some community feedback. Here are her impressions and learnings from the session.
Claudia Göbel (European Citizen Science Association) hosted a session on Citizen Science and opening even more to doing research with people from outside academia. Link to the session pad.
Gabriela Mejias and Christian Pietsch moderated a session on ORCID (the Open Researcher and Contributor ID) and how to use the BASE search engine to get scientists‘ publications into ORCID.
Lambert Heller (TIB) and Wolfgang Böttner (De Gruyter, OA journals for Societies) moderated a session on moving from traditional platforms to peer-to-peer networks as a basis for academic publishing. After the session they were so kind to share with us their impressions and main discussion points from the session.
Daniel Mietchen hosted another session at yesterday’s Open Science Barcamp, specifically looking at potential valid reasons for opting out of sharing scientific work openly. We asked him to share his impressions and insights with us.
Lambert Heller from TIB gave an ignition talk this morning at the Barcamp Open Science about why we should move scholarly publishing to peer-to-peer networks (Blockchain being one of the more widely known examples). He was also kind enough to give us a short overview about the reasons he (and his colleagues) identified.
