Interdisciplinary and “in the wild” *
* “in it” versus “on it”

1. It was no longer possible to include the evidence in the paper – container failure!
“A PDF exploded today when a scientist tried to paste in the twitter firehose…”
![Page 18: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
2. It was no longer possible to reconstruct a scientific experiment based on a paper alone
![Page 19: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
3. Writing for increasingly specialist audiences restricted essential multidisciplinary re-use
Grand Challenge Areas:• Energy• Living with Environmental Change• Global Uncertainties• Lifelong Health and Wellbeing• Digital Economy• Nanoscience• Food Security• Connected Communities• Resilient Economy
![Page 20: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
4. Research records needed to be readable by computer to support automation and curation
A computationally-enabled sense-making network of expertise, data, models and narratives.
![Page 21: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
5. Single authorship gave way to casts of thousands
![Page 22: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
6. Quality control models scaled poorly with the increasing volume
Filter, Publish, Filter, Publish, …Like big data, publishing has increasing volume, variety and velocityBut what about veracity?
![Page 23: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
7. Alternative reporting necessary for compliance with regulations
One piece of research may have multiple reports and multiple narratives for multiple readerships, in multiple formats and languages(Computer are readers too!)
![Page 24: Future of Scholarly Communications](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042623/54b31b7f4a795983288b457f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
8. Research funders frustrated by inefficiencies in scholarly communication
An investment is only worthwhile if• Outputs are discoverable• Outputs are reusable…and preferably outputs accrue value through use
Using an obsolete scholarly communication system impedes innovation and hence return on investmentWhat are we doing about it?Trying to fix it using an obsolete scholarly communication system!

Real life is and must be full of all kinds of social constraint – the very processes from which society arises. Computers can help if we use them to create abstract social machines on the Web: processes in which the people do the creative work and the machine does the administration... The stage is set for an evolutionary growth of new social engines. The ability to create new forms of social process would be given to the world at large, and development would be rapid. Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999 (pp.
172–175)

1. Shifts in scholarship– A “turn” or ongoing transformation?
2. End of the article– Don’t retrofit digital, think post-digital
3. Research Objects– Inevitable with automation– How do we cite them, how are they curated?
4. Social Machines– Humans in the loop, empowered– Can you view your projects as social machines?
