Content from the former Open Science Stack Exchange has been moved to two locations where they might see more interaction. Old entries are now part of the Academia Stack Exchange (such as this question) as well as a new platform launched by Christian Pietsch. Stephen Curry shares his thoughts on peer review and preprints on…
Research Ideas and Outcomes (RIO) launched, and will start accepting submissions in November.

One of the trickier aspects of writing a research paper is collaborating with co-authors, especially since you may not always be in the same city or country. F1000Workspace makes this much easier – you can create shared projects and invite co-authors, share a manuscript, and even discuss and annotate articles so that you’re all on…
The Center for Open Science has grants available for developers to help connect various open science services. In other news about connecting resources, the EU is planning to set up a unified “science cloud” to provide access to all European research data. Don’t forget the open science meetup in Berlin, on Friday August 14. It’s…
