• Traditionally, research librarians have focussed their efforts on curating and using conventionally published research - books, journals etc. - as a means of preserving the record of scientific progress
• Conventional publication mechanisms are being supplanted by, and are likely to be replaced by, new forms of communication

OPEN DATA, OPEN SCIENCE.
MODE A AND MODE B RESEARCH
Traditional enquiry-driven research has been supplanted by reflexive research, driven by the increasingly necessary flow of external research funding into universities. Largely, this comes from government agencies, but charities (such as the Wellcome Trust) and industry are also powerful sponsors of high-quality activity.
This state has led to the notion of the triple-helix of research - academe, industry and government.
In turn, these inter-relationships have spawned a major industry around assessing and evaluating the impact of research. Initially, the aim was to drive up standards; this is now shifting to a culture of openness, and a desire to foster public engagement.

Open access, open data, open science
!!Increasingly, the “private” nature of academic science is being displaced by a culture of openness - ideas, approaches and observations are shared at the earliest opportunity with colleagues - and sometimes the world at large.!!Whilst the ‘version of record’ approach to journal article creation retains validity, this is increasingly seen as a compliance matter - required to meet career objectives and funder/government requirements!

• Should they be curated? If so, by whom?
• What role do librarians have?

• We have spent 20 years converting material to digital form, establishing standards and protocols, and looking after it
• The rapid development in computing technology and the Internet have opened up new applications for the basic sources of research — the base material of research data — which has given a major impetus to scientific work in recent years.
• Access to research data increases the returns from public investment in this area; reinforces open scientific inquiry; encourages diversity of studies and opinion; promotes new areas of work and enables the exploration of topics not envisioned by the initial investigators.
• The value of data lies in their use. Full and open access to scientific data should be adopted as the international norm for the exchange of scientific data derived from publicly funded research.
“The Holdren Memo”
To achieve the Administration’s commitment to increase access to federally funded published research and digital scientific data, Federal agencies investing in research and development must have clear and coordinated policies for increasing such access.
