Dear all, I'm doing some investigation on behalf of the Centre for Research Communication's Research Communications Strategy project on strategic issues for open science and citizen science. For more details and definitions see here: http://rcsproject.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/open-science-and-citizen-science-investigating-the-strategic-issues/ I'm wondering what people on this list who are involved in open access for research publications think about some of the issues we're looking at (I'll also be asking the JISC-OER community in relation to teaching & learning so please hold those points for that thread!). This isn't a survey, more an attempt to spark some discussion and see what you all are thinking, doing or wanting in open science and citizen science. If any of these questions elicit a response that you'd like to share, please go for it. I'll also accept non-open (off-list) responses if you have observations you'd prefer be anonymised for my report! - Do you think repositories for open access research publications should get involved in supporting open scientific/research data? What about open notebook science, the practice of making the entire research process (not just findings/data) openly available to all on the Web? - If not, why not? Who should be taking care of this data and how? - Are you already involved in supporting open notebook science or open science data at your institution? What about citizen science initiatives? - If so, what are the implementation issues? Storage and scaling, formatting, user interfaces, metadata, etc., etc.? - What, in your view, are the issues for strategists, policy makers and funders, at institutional, government and funding body levels? What do you think should be funded or supported by policy? What's your wish list?
