Can open science help with public engagement of science? “Mapping the hinterland: Data issues in open science“, an article in Public Understanding of Science, explores this question.- Nature Communications will start publishing the peer review histories of articles from January onward, unless the authors opt-out.
- In response to the above news, Leonid Schneider blogged about the importance of making peer review open as a standard practice (like we do here at F1000Research), rather than giving authors the chance to opt out of it. Earlier this week, he also blogged about signed vs anonymous post-publication peer review. Lots to read, and the comments are open on both posts for you to join the discussion.
- New open science journal RIO journal has published their first articles, among which an editorial by Daniel Mietchen, Ross Mounce and Lyubomir Penev.
- “On the first day of Xmas my true love gave to me: My very own ORCID ID”. This is the first line of the 12 days of Open Xmas, Vanessa Proudman’s adaptation of a classic Christmas carol. The full lyrics are in a slide presentation (pdf).
This is the last “open science roundup” of 2015, because the next two Fridays are both holidays! We hope you share as much holiday cheer the next weeks as you would normally share your science.
