What is FORCE11?Future of Research Communications and E-Scholarship: A grass roots effort to accelerate the pace and nature of scholarly communications and e-scholarship through technology, education and community

Why 11? We were born in 2011 in Dagstuhl, Germany

Principles laid out in the FORCE11 Manifesto

FORCE11 Vision• Modern technologies enable vastly improve knowledge transfer and far wider

impact; freed from the restrictions of paper, numerous advantages appear

• We see a future in which scientific information and scholarly communication more generally become part of a global, universal and explicit network of knowledge

• To enable this vision, we need to create and use new forms of scholarly publication that work with reusable scholarly artifacts

• To obtain the benefits that networked knowledge promises, we have to put in place reward systems that encourage scholars and researchers to participate and contribute

• To ensure that this exciting future can develop and be sustained, we have to support the rich, variegated, integrated and disparate knowledge offerings that new technologies enable

Page 7: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

The scientific corpus is fragmented

• ~25 million articles total, each covering a fragment of the biomedical space

• Each publisher owns a fragment of a particular field

• The current process is inefficient and slow

Wiley

Elsevier

MacMillian

Oxford

Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Is the current method serving science?

47/50 major preclinical published cancer studies could not be replicated

“The scientific community assumes that the claims in a preclinical study can be taken at face value-that although there might be some errors in detail, the main message of the paper can be relied on and the data will, for the most part, stand the test of time. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.”

Begley and Ellis, 29 MARCH 2012 | VOL 483 | NATURE | 531

“There are no guidelines that require all data sets to be reported in a paper; often, original data are removed during the peer review and publication process. “

Getting data out sooner in a form where they can be exposed to many eyes and many analyses may allow us to expose errors and develop better metrics to evaluate the validity of data

Page 9: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

A new platform for scholarly communications

Components• Authoring tools

– Optimized for mark up and linked content• Containers

– Expand the objects that are considered “publications”– Optimize the container for the content

• Processes– Scholarship is code

• Mark up– Data, claims, content suitable for the web– Suitable identifier systems

• Reward systems– Incentives to change– Reward for new objects

Scholarship must move from a “single currency system”; platforms must recognize diversity of output and representation

Page 10: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

FORCE11.org

• Community platform– Meetings– Discussions– Tools and resources– Blogs– Event calendar– Community projects

• Education– Scholarly

communication 101

>430 members from diverse stakeholder groups

Page 11: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

Beyond the PDF• Conference/unconference

where all stakeholders come together as equals to discuss issues– Publishers– Technologists– Scholars– Library scientists

• Incubator for change• What would you do to

change scholarly communication?

Bridging communities• FORCE11 helps facilitate

communications across disciplines and communities

• Issues are not identical but we can learn from each other– Enhanced publications

• Digital humanities +

– Dealing with data• Science + “What is an ORCID id?”-computer scientist

Page 13: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

Resource for scholarly communications: People, organizations, publications, tools

Upgraded Tool and Resource catalog to be released very soon

ScalarAre we really suffering from a lack of tools?

•or is it usable tools?•or is it tools that are

used?•or is it awareness

that there are tools?•or are these even the

right tools?

Page 15: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

A place to come together: Data citation principles

•FORCE11 provides a neutral space for bringing groups together • 35 individuals representing

> 20 organizations concerned with data citation

• Conducted a review of current data citation recommendations from 4 different organizations

• Will present results at data citation working group meeting at Research Data Alliance meeting in Washington DC next week

Page 16: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

A place for action• Strong sense

that we should “practice what we preach”

• FORCE11 an ideal test community for new technologies and platforms

Why is coordination/cooperation needed?

• New roles and vanishing roles

• Are there broad agreements that need to be forged?

• Are the issues the same for all stakeholders?

Librarians are publishersScholars are curatorsPublishers are archivistsScholars are customersScholars are publishersEveryone is a standards developer

Open citations? Text mining across the corpus? Data: Public-private partnership?

Humanities and sciencesDeveloped and developing worldTechnologists and scholarsInstitutions and individualsScholars and taxpayers

FORCE11 provides a forum for these discussions

Is there still a role for everyone? Are we training an adequate workforce?

Scholars need to be data scientists

Where is lack of coordination holding us back?

Can and should everyone be brought to the table for all discussions?

Page 18: FORCE11:  Future of Research Communications and e-Scholarship

Questions for you?• Is your community represented in FORCE11?• Are your needs the same as the other stakeholders in the areas of:

– Containers

– Processes

– Mark up

– Authoring

– Reward

• Are there new areas not addressed in the manifesto?• What do you need from FORCE11?

– Users?

– Tools?

– Collaborators?

– Advertising?

– A bully pulpit?/platform for cooperation?

– Protocols and best practices?
