science 2.0

Widespread use of a comprehensive CI framework has the potential to revolutionize every science and engineering discipline as well as education. Computing power, data volumes, software, and network capacities are all on exponential growth paths. Highly diverse, multidisciplinary collaborations and partnerships are growing dramatically, greatly enabled by new and emerging technologies, spanning multiple agencies and international domains to address complex grand challenge problems. Scientific discovery is being advanced by linking computational facilities and instruments to build highly-capable simulation models, sophisticated algorithms, software, and other tools and services. CIF21 will enable new approaches to research and education - supporting new modalities such as distributed collaborative networks, allowing researchers to more easily adapt to changes in the research and education process, and providing an integrated framework for people, instruments, and tools to address complex problems and conduct multidisciplinary research. CIF21 will consist of secure, geographically distributed, and connected CI: advanced computing facilities, scientific instruments, software environments, advanced networks, data storage capabilities, and the critically important human capital and expertise.

The Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST) is a NASA funded project to support and provide to the astronomical community a variety of astronomical data archives, with the primary focus on scientifically related data sets in the optical, ultraviolet, and near-infrared parts of the spectrum.

The Planetary Data System (PDS) is an archive of data products from NASA planetary missions, which is sponsored by the NASA Office of Space Science. We actively manage the archive to maximize its usefulness, and it has become a basic resource for scientists around the world. All PDS-produced products are peer-reviewed, well-documented, and easily accessible via a system of online catalogs that are organized by planetary disciplines

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.

The goal of EarthCube is to transform the conduct of research by supporting the development of community-guided cyberinfrastructure to integrate data and information for knowledge management across the Geosciences. This website has been set up to foster community collaboration, and will provide updated information, resource documents, and discussion forums so that community groups, consortia, researchers, and educators can share ideas, introduce concepts, and find and develop collaborative efforts.

What is Pink Army? Pink army isn't like anything you've seen before. A new approach to developing breast cancer treatments. Pink Army is a community-driven, member owned Cooperative operating by open source principles. Using synthetic biology and virotherapy to bring individualized treatments tailored to each patient's DNA and cancer, faster and cheaper than ever before.

MyDaughtersDNA.org This site is dedicated to expanding our understanding of genetics conditions and variations in the human genome. The primary purpose of the site is to provide a forum for those searching for explanations and the help of the interested community of geneticists, patients, physicians, scientists and family members.

research project on open access (incl. software)

THE HARVARD LIBRARY TRANSITION Skip to main content.

"EMAPS (Electronic Maps to Assist Public Science) is a collaborative research project aiming at answering in the most innovative way the topic SiS.2011.3.0.6-1 which calls for an assessment of "the opportunities and risks in the use of the web and the social media as a meaningful information tool and for developing a participatory communication between scientists and the different publics". To do that, our proposal focuses first on the emerging uses of the web as a tool of collective endeavor and public debate, then on engaging actors involved in two particular technoscientific issues (aging/life expectancy and climate change adaptation) in an 'open-air' experiment using online interactive platforms that will be designed and developed within the project."

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.

Prior to all the nonsense with the Research Works Act, I had been having a discussion with Heather Morrison about licenses and Open Access and peripherally the principle of requiring specific licenses of authors. I realized then that I needed to lay out the background thinking that leads me to where I am.

Now Open for Beta Testing The website is designed to make it quick and convenient to upload reports but also to require enough detail to make the report credible and responsible.The site also provides a discussion forum for each posting, allowing users to discuss the report (potentially allowing collective brainstorming about possible moderator variables, defects in the original study or in the non-replication attempt, etc.)

Elsevier boycott after the Research Works Act

Research in context The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is the first publisher to place transparent and comprehensive information about the usage and reach of published articles onto the articles themselves, so that the entire academic community can assess their value.

Scholastica makes managing an academic journal better and faster. It provides an academic ecosystem around the activities that scholars do in real life - peer review new ideas, decide which to publish, and discuss new ideas to push knowledge ever forward. Simple tools to help manage your scholarly journal Powerfully search and sort all of your journal's manuscripts.
