What Do I Want from the Publisher of the Future? Philip E. Bourne University of California San Diego pbourne@ucsd.edu http://www.sdsc.edu/pb PLoS Comp Biol 2010 6(5): e1000787.
What is My Twisted Perspective? Background in both IT and science (chemistry, computational biology) My lab. distributes for free data equivalent to ¼ the Library of Congress every month I am a supporter of open access (provided there is a business model) and editor in chief of PLoS Computational Biology I am Co-founder of SciVee Inc.  (conflict?) I am becoming increasingly interested in scholarly communication I Readily Acknowledge Each Discipline is Different
My Comments Are Heavily Influenced by a Recent Workshop –Beyond the PDF The most vibrant workshop I have attended in over 30 years of workshops https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/
Driver of Change With much of the STM research workflow now being digital it makes no sense to retrofit the finding of that workflow into something essentially analog

Article of the Future

Open publishing platforms
  …..,[object Object]
Interactive PDFs– baby steps
Article of the Future – already past
ORCHID – disambiguation of all content
Datacite, Dryad – data treated as publications
Hubs – new forms of integration
Open publishing platforms - competition,[object Object]
The Article of the Future is Not the Killer App – Yet? Semantic tagging to ontological terms is okay, but really only valuable when I gain new knowledge, not the meaning of a term I could look up any way. PaperFlick – maybe Tabs – hey it’s a web site after all Comments – well we know how well that works so far Tables in XLS format – yes! Bibliometrics – its not open
A Way to Reward a Different Model of Scholarly Achievement Would be the Tipping Point Change Reward You don’t get tenure for starting  a PLoS hub!
Reward Scheme – One of Scholarship’s Dirty Secrets – We Claim to be Quantitative, Yet we Measure Ourselves Otherwise Journal Impact factors are not paper impact factors Other forms of scholarly discourse (blogs, database depositions, software etc) don’t rate … Ten Simple Rules for Getting Ahead as a Computational Biologist in Academia.  PLoS Comp. Biol. 7(1) e1002001.
Why Will We Move Beyond the PDF Eventually? Scholarship Will Demand It
Publishing Limitations A paper is an artifact of a previous era It is not the logical end product of eScience, hence: Work is omitted Data and the knowledge of that data are disjoint Article vs supplement is a mess Visualization may be limited Interaction and enquiry are non-existent Rich media can help, but are rarely used There is no true aggregation Drivers of Change
We Cannot Possibly Read a Fraction of the Papers We Should Drivers of Change Renear & Palmer 2009 Science 325:828-832

The Truth About the Scientific eLaboratory I have ?? mail folders! The intellectual memory of my laboratory is in those folders This is an unhealthy hub and spoke mentality Drivers of Change
The Truth About the Scientific eLaboratory I generate way more negative that positive data, but where is it?  Content management is a mess Slides, posters….. Data, lab notebooks …. Collaborations, Journal clubs … Software is open but where is it? Farewell is for the data too Computational Biology Resources Lack Persistence and Usability. PLoS Comp. Biol. 4(7): e1000136 Drivers of Change
Here is What I Want as a Scholar The Knowledge and Data Cycle 0. Full text of PLoS papers stored  in a database 4. The composite view has links to pertinent blocks  of literature text and back to the PDB User clicks on content Metadata and webservices to data provide an interactiveview that can be annotated Selecting features provides a data/knowledge mashup Analysis leads to new content I can share 4. 1. 3.

  • 47. Define a Goal Make a positive contribution that would not otherwise happen in such a timely way https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/
  • 48. What is Being Done? Research objects of the future (ROFs) – Entities that capture all aspects of scholarship: hypotheses, data, methods, results, presentations etc.) that are semantically enriched, interoperable and easily transmitted and comprehended Define a set of requirements to meet the needs of the SMA project. Agree on standards and architecture to support the requirements. Interface with existing efforts under the W3C umbrella. Illustrate that the effort has advanced our understanding of SMA beyond what would otherwise be possible. https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/
  • 49. What is Being Done? Writing – Establishing a scholarly discourse that embraces the idea of ROFs. New writing tools should create ROF containers that contain all relevant files. These containers should be shared using appropriate network protocols. Evaluate existing tools for use in this regard. Settle on tools or agree to modify tools to address the SMA goal. Work to demonstrate the value of the tools in supporting data integration (with appropriate metadata). Have graduate students in several research groups evaluate the tools. https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/
  • 50. What is Being Done? Attribution, Evaluation, Archiving Develop a use case for use by funding agencies to evaluate the effectiveness of funding. A tool to measure citation and attention based metrics across a broad spectrum of sources was proposed. Prototype an impact dashboard to be used by the SMA Foundation. https://sites.google.com/site/beyondthepdf/
