Today and tomorrow the Future of Research meeting is taking place in San Francisco. You can find a report from their first meeting in F1000Research.- Ron Vale has written a great preprint about the need for preprints. “Our analysis suggests that publication practices have changed considerably in the life sciences over the past thirty years. Considerably more experimental data is now required for publication, and the average time required for graduate students to publish their first paper has increased and is approaching the desirable duration of Ph.D. training.”
- A report from the ASCB suggests that better communication between labs can resolve a lot of reproducibility issues (In other words: open science.)
- Jon Tennant and Ros Mounce have uploaded the Open Research Glossary to Figshare, so it’s even easier to find, read, and cite now.
- A total of $25000 in prize money is available for researchers working on making the social sciences more transparent.
