"Scholarly HTML: new approaches to authoring Scientific Papers"
Friday 11th March

Todd-Hamied Room

Peter Sefton, Univ. Southern Queensland
Martin, Brian and Peter will present ideas and get feedback in a 2-hour session 1530-1730. The blog posts below give an idea of the material, but the themes are:
* Authors should be able to write articles in the medium that suits them and not have to reformat for every different publisher.
* Authors should be able to include semantic live content (molecules, scripts, tables, etc.)
* The tools should help authors with tedious and trivial tasks such as managing references, crossreferencing, packaging materials for submissions
* It should be technically trivial to create new types of publication

We have invited these authorities in electronic authoring and publishing to join us afterwards for a weekend's hackfest March 12/13 (http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2011/03/08/scholarly-html-hackfest/ ) to prototype better ways of writing and publishing science, especially chemistry.
(and weekend Hackfest )
This will be in the Unilever centre where we will build prototypes of these. As a starting point we'll probably focus on a "data journal" in Crystallography looking at how we can associate structure with crystallization procedures. We expect several other visitors for the hackfest (including members of JISC and our JISC projects). Geek food provided.
All are welcome to either / both events.
