Cameron's slides are up at this link: http://www.slideshare.net/Cameron... - Jen Dodd

Nice hand waving on slide 2 - Chad Orzel

2. "What I'm doing most people find a little bit scary" - Jen Dodd

3. Made up numbers suggesting we could save circa one billion dollars a year if people didn't have to repeat each other's mistakes. - Jen Dodd

Imaginary numbers: $100 billion, 25% on research-- save 1 month by knowing something somebody else knows, save millions over whole system - Chad Orzel

4. UK govt considered (and abandoned) idea of assessing grants on ecomonic returns. - Jen Dodd

8. Limited intersections between different groups who are ostensibly "collaborating" - develop ideas and get funding together, do the rest separately. - Jen Dodd

10. Ability of web 2.0 to improve science depends on openness. - Jen Dodd

16. Use of GoogleReader to follow and comment on graduate student's lab progress. - Jen Dodd

17. Example of crowdsourcing research help on FF: http://friendfeed.com/e... - Jen Dodd

20. So far, Pawel (person who offered assistance via FF) will get authorship on any papers to come out; none so far. - Jen Dodd

22. Change of topic to the fears associated with doing science openly. - Jen Dodd

22. Blurring of line between public and private. - Jen Dodd

23. What is the published, peer-reviewed literature good for? Results fixed in time - a full record that supports a claim (or claims), available for detailed examination and critique. - Jen Dodd

Eva - this is equally true in physics. - Michael Nielsen

25. Papers are good for interpretation, but they don't do a good job of giving information about how the analysis was done. - Jen Dodd

The question of scooping is highly community dependent-- there are subfields and groups who really worry about scooping, but there are other areas where things are much more collegial. - Chad Orzel

"Scientists do not do work." - Greg Wilson

29. Automatic blogging by machines. - Jen Dodd

Re: collegiality: see, for example: http://scienceblogs.com/princip... and http://scienceblogs.com/princip... - Chad Orzel

Interesting remark: "I do not deposit into Soton's IR" Too much extra work. - carolh

31. Criteria for making software for scientists. - Jen Dodd

31. Cf blog post: http://blog.openwetware.org/science... - Jen Dodd

34. "Data belongs in the public domain. We shouldn't be talking about licensing data." - Jen Dodd

Wilbanks quote: http://network.nature.com/blogs... - Chad Orzel

34. Need to make strong community norms about how to treat data, rather than legal licenses. - Jen Dodd

36. The seven deadly sins in science - we need to consider how to motivate people, including through motivations of pride, etc. - Jen Dodd

36. Story about Dutch repository that was called "The Cream of Science", convinced some top scientists to be involved, and then had strong response from Dutch scientific community. - Jen Dodd

Some information about the Cream of Science: http://www.ercim.org/publica... - Jen Dodd

37. Personal story: doing open science means no longer caring about what you say to who. - Jen Dodd

Good question session, hard to microblog. - Jen Dodd

@Cameron, can you elaborate why you don't use the SOTON repository, the home of ePrints? - Martin Fenner

Martin - I'll give my answer to that question: I can't imagine using an institutional repository because I can't imagine ever thinking in terms of "I need to find something from a person at institution X". The scientists I know are far more interested in the invisible college than the visible, yet the IRs assume the reverse is true. This is why arxiv succeeds, and the IRs don't. - Michael Nielsen

In other words: a central repository (arxiv, Pubmed Central, etc.) is better than many institutional repositories because a) finding the relevant information is much easier because of centralized search and b) much less input is required from the author (assuming the journal does the paper deposition). But in Germany we have a clear push towards institutional repositories. - Martin Fenner

And now, The Film. Cameron Does Canada :-http://pirsa.org/index... - Graham Steel

Martin, part (b) isn't true of the arxiv, but (a) is very much true - Michael Nielsen
