My presentation for the General ONline Research Conference in Cologn, Germany on March 6, 2014. On these slides I detail our proof-of-concept of making all our digital data openly accessible online by default, automatically, whenever the researcher who collected them evaluates them using our custom R-Scripts.

SCHOLARSHIP

Institutions produce publications, data and software

CRISIS I

Dysfunctional scholarly literature

Literature

• Limited access• No global search• No functional hyperlinks• No flexible data

visualization• No submission

standards• (Almost) no statistics• No text/data-mining• No effective way to sort,

filter and discover• No scientific impact

analysis• No networking feature• etc.

…it’s like the web in 1995!

CRISIS II

Scientific data in peril

CRISIS III

Non-existent software archives

small data – long tail

JULIEN COLOMB

One person is not an institutional infrastructure

Software to control the experiment and save the data

Software to analyze and visualize the data

buridan.sourceforge.net

Scientific Code with Persistent Identifiers

FigShare API

The figshare API allows you to push data to figshare, or pull data out. This first version is a basic implementation that allows you to manage your figshare account or build applications on top of the figshare platform and public research.

Add new, or update an existing article

Run your script and...

Same type of experiments → same scriptDefault: → same categories

→ same tags→ same authors→ same links→ same description

→ One complete article, in one click.

Update the figure: Higher sample size directly published while analysed, your boss may see the results before you do! (or you may see the results of your student before they do)

Possibility to make it public and citable in one click or directly in the R code.
