STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OFPUBLISHING ALTERNATIVES

2015

the global scientific publication output isgrowing at a rate of approximately 3

annually

The volume of publications doublesapproximately every 24 years

WHAT IS RESEARCH DATA (EC) - TAKE 2Research data refers to information in particular facts or

numbers collected to be examined and considered and as abasis for reasoning discussion or calculation In a research

context examples of data include statistics results ofexperiments measurements observations resulting from

fieldwork survey results interview recordings and imagesThe focus is on research data that is available in digital form

Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data in Horizon 2020

Available on the web (whatever format) butwith an open licence to be Open Data

Available as machine-readable structureddata (eg excel instead of image scan of atable)

as (2) plus non-proprietary format (eg CSVinstead of excel)

All the above plus Use open standards fromW3C (RDF and SPARQL) to identify things sothat people can point at your stuff

All the above plus Link your data to otherpeoplersquos data to provide context

Future of publishing is interwoven with the capacity oftransforming a ldquopublicationrdquo - research output ndash into a hub

A possible trend for publishing is reserved to the mutabledocument and data if the data is the document In fact

mutable to a form that will enable others to ldquosee furtherrdquothrough possible re-use forking and versioning The is a

nuance in the sense that a difference has to be madebetween the peer-reviewed publication of one author aspart of the scientific record which is immutable and the

research database or data set that is mutable

It is wise as a creator as a researcher to retain alldocuments produced alone or in collaboration The reasonsare multiple but the biggest threat is web services evolutionsometimes leading to site-deaths taking off and breaking allthe permalinks (links retrieving a single post) in the process

Another reason for self-publishing is linked to ownership ofthe resources created which in turn leads to a direct chain

of citations And one of the most valuable gain is having theURLs of the resources in your domain In time this resolves

to better searchability and better metrics through localanalytics
