    ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. The data exploration can be done interactively in 3D or programmatically using ParaView's batch processing capabilities. ParaView was developed to analyze extremely large datasets using distributed memory computing resources. It can be run on supercomputers to analyze datasets of terascale as well as on laptops for smaller data.

scientific communication open access mestrado peer review open science reputation impact factor research quality

  • Open Access has led directly to an increase in usage of platforms that make is easy for researchers to comply with this mandate by depositing open access versions of their papers. Examples of companies in this space are Academia.edu, ResearchGate.net and Mendeley.  Open Access also means that anyone can contribute to the post-publication evaluation of research articles.
  • There are a number of initiatives focused on improving the process of peer review. Post-publication peer review, in which journals publish papers after minimal vetting and then encourage commentary from the scientific community, has been explored by several publishers, but has run into difficulties incentivizing sufficient numbers of experts to participate.  Initiatives like Faculty of 1000 have tried to overcome this by corralling experts as part of post-publication review boards.  And sometimes, as in the case of arsenic-based life, the blogosphere has taken peer review into its own hands.
  • Traditionally the number of first and senior author publications, and the journal(s) in which those publications appear, has been the key criteria for assessing the quality of a researcher’s work. This is used by funding agencies to determine whether to award research grants to conduct their future work, as well as by academic research institutions to inform hiring and career progression decisions. However, this is actually a very poor measure of a researcher’s true impact since a) it only captures a fraction of a researcher’s contribution and b) since more than 70% of published research cannot be reproduced, the publication based system rewards researchers for the wrong thing (the publication of novel research, rather than the production of robust research).

  • The h-index was one of the first alternatives proposed as a measure of scientific research impact.  It and its variants rely on citation statistics, which is a good start, but includes a delay which can be quite long, depending on the rapidity with which papers are published in a particular field.  There are a number of startups that are attempting to improve the way a researcher’s reputation is measured. One is ImpactStory which is attempting to aggregate metrics from researcher’s articles, datasets, blog posts, and more. Another is ResearchGate.net which has developed its own RG Score.
  • Which set of reputational signifiers rise to the top will shape the future of science itself.

    Figshare allows researchers to publish all of their research outputs in seconds in an easily citable, sharable and discoverable manner. All file formats can be published, including videos and datasets that are often demoted to the supplemental materials section in current publishing models. By opening up the peer review process, researchers can easily publish null results, avoiding the file drawer effect and helping to make scientific research more efficient. Figshare uses creative commons licensing to allow frictionless sharing of research data whilst allowing users to maintain their ownership.

    The Remote Sensing Information Gateway (RSIG) offers a new way for users to get the multi-terabyte, environmental datasets they want via an interactive, Web browser-based application. A file download and parsing process that now takes months will be reduced via RSIG to minutes.

    In the spirit of the well-circulated Facebook friendship map by Paul Butler, research analyst Olivier Beauchesne at Science-Metrix examines scientific collaboration around the world from 2005 to 2009: I was very impressed by the friendship map made by Facebook intern, Paul Buffer [sp] and I realized that I had access to a similar dataset.
