This week was Open Access Week! Here’s our post of the F1000Research activities.- The NIH partnered with the Wellcome Trust on an Open Science prize. Up to six teams of technology experts and researchers stand to win $80,000 each to develop their ideas into a prototype or to advance an existing early stage prototype. The prototype judged to have the greatest potential to further open science will receive $230,000.
- “When You Work in the Open, Everyone Can Be a Collaborator.“
- NISO/ICSTI are having a joint Webinar on November 10th, titles “A Pathway from Open Access and Data Sharing to Open Science in Practice.”
- The Wellcome trust disclosed that they withheld funding 134 times due to non-compliance with their open access policy.
- This BBC news post caused outrage in the open science community by suggesting that scientists are engaging in ‘piracy’ by using the #IcanhazPDF hashtag.
