acawiki: RT @freeculture: Democratize academic knowledge with the 'Wikipedia for academic research' - http://acawiki.org/

@acawiki @freeculture what AcaWiki democratizes is access to the gist of published research results, by far not academic research (i.e. the process that leads to the snapshots we call papers), nor academic knowledge - http://openwetware.org/ , http://www.plos.org/ , http://www.citizendium.org/ and http://www.scholarpedia.org/ and other sites (particularly databases) all cover crucial... more... - Daniel Mietchen

"Collecting the best climate data and doing the best possible analysis on it is not an option. If we get this wrong and don’t act effectively then with some probability that is significantly above zero our world ends. The opportunity is there to make this the biggest, most important, and most effective research project ever undertaken. To actively involve the wider community in measurement. To get an army of open source coders to re-write, audit, and re-factor the analysis software. Even to involve the (positively engaged) sceptics, to use their interest and ability to look for holes and issues. Whether politicians will act on data is not the issue that the research community can or should address; what we need to be clear on is that we provide the best data, the best analysis, and an honest view of the uncertainties. Along with the ability of anyone to critically analyse the basis for those conclusions. " - Daniel Mietchen
