What is open source?
the idea of sharing isn't new
it just had to be respecified
BY-NC-SA Emilio Quintana
The Four Freedoms
3. improve the program and release improvements
0. to run the program for any purpose
1. to study how the program works, and change it
2. to redistribute copies
Creative Commons
Open Source
Open Hardware
Open Access
Scientific publication process
competition
not cooperation
driven
scarcity of resources
grant funds
authority-based
individual propositions
often reviewd based on
researcher's standing
replication, not continuing research:
insufficent know-how
migration between research centers almost inexistent
By contrast:
open source world
meritocratic on issue basis
authorities only arbitrary
ability to fork
unlimited resources
very mobile
Open access
Green access
self-archiving
no peer review
often only preprint
not all journals agree
White
no self-archiving
Green
post- and pre- print
Blue
only post-print
Gold
already open
Yellow
only pre-print
Journal classification:
Gold access
normal publication
free to read
expensive
to publish
Revolution in open research?
PeerJ Preprints
PeerJ
sea of knowledge for everyone
peer-reviewed and chosen based on quality, not impact
$99
for life
1 article/year
$199
$299
2 articles/year
unlimited
per researcher
Who reviews the articles?
everyone!
Researcher's github
How can we publish openly?
quality
impact
prestige
access
Suggestion:
mandatory green archiving?
Suggestion:
for
Open Access publications
when awarding grants
bonus points
How to open the research itself?
Open tools, open methods:
Let others replicate!
Publication is only a summary.
Why not share your results?
Let's make it a standard!
Crowdfunding research
When there are no grants...
kickstart the research!
Who?
Why?
How?
Science enthusiasts
Groups of interest
Curiosity
Will to help
Personal interests
Foundations
Where does the research happen?
Research in a
Do-It-Yourself world
hacker & makerspaces
natural refugee from the
stiff rules of the Academy
only for the passionate
experts in their fields,
even without formal education
trying, hacking, breaking,
making
experts, not associates
you don't pay them
you have to interest them
short attention span
and cryptic culture
Out- and opensourcing
many possibilities
