[Sigsti-l] Fwd: [PAMNET] Open Science Workshop - Nov. 12 - Cross posted

[Joe Hourcle]

I thought people on here might be interested in this.

If you didn't see the National Academy's hearing on opening up federally funded research, John King gave the final summary of the data side of things:

(I have no idea how to give a direct link to the talk, as Safari on Mac seems to stop on Jillian Wallis, even though there were lots of speakers after her)

> This one-day workshop is a must for anyone involved in managing the flow of scientific and scholarly communication. The Open Science movement has the potential to dramatically change that flow as well as the roles of all involved if the key emerging issues can be resolved. Open government, open data, and open access are all necessary but insufficient movements to make open science a reality. This workshop will explore the technical, financial, political, and social/cultural forces that are driving the movement; the key issues that may impact your organization - issues such as creator/author rights, attribution, information sharing and re-use, machine access and interoperability, preservation of the record of science, etc.; and the policies and tools that are being created to make open science a reality.  Mark your calendar now to reserve the date. Registration will open September 6, 2013, to accommodate those who need to pay before the new fiscal year begins. Seating is limited so register early!

> THE FOCUS OF THE DAY
> 
> 
> John King, Vice Provost for Strategy at the University of Michigan, will open the day with an overview of the Open Science movement, why it started, how far it has come, and the practical issues that must be resolved to make it a reality. This will be followed by a session on the policies behind open science, which will include both government and researcher perspectives, and will explore the challenges any policy must address in order to catalyze a wholesale shift toward more open science at the community level.

> After lunch (which will be provided), speakers from the academic and publishing communities (Drexel University, Harvard University, and Elsevier), will discuss some of the tools that have been created to support collaborative research, tools such as open notebooks, Authorea (manuscript creation software), and Mendeley.   In addition, there will be a case-study panel that will highlight three open science initiatives - the Materials Genome project, Galaxy Zoo, and Mapping the Human Brain.  The speakers will discuss why the projects were started and the challenges and practical issues that have had to be addressed to bring them to fruition.
