Rethinking Scientific Publishing

2Scientific communication is changing
CINF Webinar August 26, 2014
3Present Status
The internet has fundamentally changed the scholarly publishing paradigm No need for journals as “container”. Immediate publication and worldwide open access. Impact can be measured on article level and Journal Impact
Factors lose meaning. Publishing becomes a service and fees can be based on the
real costs of publication. Public discourse on scientific research in blogs, social media,
scientific networks and on PubMed Commons.
CINF Webinar August 26, 2014
4The opportunity
Provide free and immediate access to knowledge to drive creativity, collaboration, innovation and development.
Allow ideas to be judged on their merit, regardless of where they come from – open, transparent and fair.
CINF Webinar August 26, 2014
5The challenge
How to maintain quality of scientific communication in an internet model? Current system derived from paper-based communication
depends on anoymous pre-publication Peer Review. But recent cases have highlighted that with the internet, more
eyes are more likely to find errors and communicate them more quickly.
New modes of network-based evaluation of research are required.
New measures for rating and ranking scientific results required.
