Researchers spend much of their time writing - e.g. grant applications, lab notebook entries, code, conference abstracts, progress reports and what is still called papers. Traditionally, only very few of these works have been published, such that the research process was largely hidden from the public and in many cases remains so. What if research communication were to focus instead on making the process of research visible rather than coarse snapshots of selected intermediate results thereof? Given that most research steps nowadays already take place digitally or at least leave digital traces, an integration of research and publishing workflows is becoming technically feasible. This talk is meant to stimulate discussion as to what these developments mean for researchers, using examples from a range of fields within the natural sciences. In this spirit, the presentation itself will be drafted in public at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Talks/IWR_Annual_Colloquium_2013 and presented from there. |
