Right time
We have a problem.

right now
the world of scholarly
communication is changing
bring you up to date on three areas
1. Public Access to papers
doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1001235.g001
• for whom are we doing research and building our research infrastructure?
• what do we want our next generation infrastructure to look like?
• what should be the role of scholarly societies? of commercial publishers?how important is it to preserve current business models?
1. Public Access to papers
2. Papers as Data
• what may we do with a scientific paper? we can read it with our eyes. May we read it with our computers? Often against subscription terms of use, and in some countries it has been against copyright.
• who can analyze it? for what purposes? after how many hoops? using what standards? through what interfaces?

Right time
These issues are HOT.
iEvoBio
Right place
iEvoBio attendees are right in the middle
of all of this
very well situated to see the changes, understand them, guide them
• I’ll cover the first two changes quickly, then spend a bit more time onData Archiving because that’s where I think ievobio is in the most unique position,
plus I have some fresh-off-the-presses data to share with you!
1. Public Access to papers
• Real evolution papers out where the public can read them: help the public learn what real science looks like.
• Openly available data that is described only in a subscription-based publication is a problem.
• ievobio community includes strong societies and great OA advocates.
So what should the journal of the future look like? How should it be funded? Who should own the work? How would you like to be able to build on it?
• You are the right place!
2. Papers as Data
• Tracking and valuing attribution to datasets as suggested through JDAP requires papers as data
• Easier and less expensive dataset curation? Metadata suggestions from full text requires full text mining.
• iEvoBio attendees have the programming chops and the informatics mindset to understand the potential and inform the infrastructure.
• You are great people to champion and contribute to these changes.
3. Dataset Archiving

• this means the Evolution and Ecology communities have cutting edge experience with some of the problems, and are well poised to start considering solutions.
Study of attitudes, experiences
- online questionnaire- corresponding authors- 40 journals- 3 years
Data collection ongoing...this is a sneak peak!

but
we need to fix that.
Change the world.
Why?
• the environment is changing. Fact.We must adapt.
• So that our values are reflected in the outcome
• competitive advantage
How?
• figure out what bugs you
• learn. blog while you learn. learning lunches.
• discuss, write, speak, blog, tweet.
• colleagues, coauthors, students,journals, conference organizers
• build something.
• make principled choices. Stand up for them.
here’s how I’m doing it

furthermore
We bleed for each data point.
Why would we hand that all over for someone who never sets foot in the field and then publishes our work at our expense?
I am worried about a rise in "data vultures" or "arm-chair field ecologists"
Data took 3 years to collect and compile.
If someone wants this type of data, they should go out and collect their own.
I'm supposed to be happy to see my data in someone else's publication because they cited me? Please...

we need to change the recognition

time to move from a 1 dimensional
evaluation system
