| 1:30-2:30 | Making sense of science and evidence |
| Tracey Brown, Sense About Science - Video Presentation | |
| Every month there are dozens of news reports about promising research, breakthroughs, scare stories and wonder drugs. Sense About Science has been working to equip the public to ask searching questions about claims they encounter in the media, advertising, campaigning and on the internet. These questions include: what is the status of the research? Is it published in a peer reviewed journal? How does it compare with other findings? These initiatives have made surprising headway and an understanding of scientific scrutiny and the peer review process is now seen as an important consideration by many policy makers, patient groups, healthcare providers, journalists, regulators, educators and by people who want to cut through the hype to evaluate claims. But do scholarly publishing, the quality of peer review and the integrity of the research base support this? Or is scholarly publishing itself dissolving into the internet free-for-all? |
|
| 2:30-3:00 | Which scientists can we trust? |
| Christine Ottery, Science Journalist - Video Presentation | |
| Scientific fraud, outliers and mavericks, and pure disagreement in the scientific community leave the impression that scientists are flawed - and sometimes brilliant - human beings. What criteria do journalists, bloggers or researchers use to decide which scientists to trust? And how can publishers help communicate those criteria? | |

| Toby Green, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) - Video Presentation | |
| OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is one of the world’s largest producers of social, economic and environmental data with nearly 400 datasets being constantly updated. It is also a significant research publisher in journal, book and working paper form. In this session you will learn how OECD has built a new publishing platform that integrates research articles, books, grey literature, supplementary data and original datasets into a single, seamless service. The service, OECD iLibrary, allows librarians to catalogue datasets as easily as books, publishers to link to datasets via CrossRef and offers end-users ready-made dataset citations for their reference management systems. | |
| Communicating Data: New Roles for Researchers, Publishers and Libraries | |
| MacKenzie Smith, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries - Video Presentation | |
| Digital research data is quickly becoming more accessible, and critical, to scientists and e-science. Providing the means to review, publish, visualize, annotate, cite, reuse, reproduce, integrate and analyze data requires traditional scholarly communication players to rethink their roles in relation to data and its infrastructure (software, instruments, databases, etc.). If we continue to see growth in enhanced, data-enriched articles, and if the scholarly record begins to depend as much on the quality and persistence of data as it now does on the literature, researchers, publishers and libraries (and their institutions) will all need to adapt, and quickly, to these new demands. The presentation will focus on what is happening at research universities and how researchers, publishers and libraries might respond. | |
