  Beyond the Journal:Scholarly Communication Throughout the Research Life Cycle Presented by Kristen Ratan to the EC Expert Panel on the Future of Scholarly Communication 26 March 2018, Brussels

  Proposal: Return scholarlycommunication to being a public good An open ecosystem that ensures that the production, communication, access, and use of all research objects across the research cycle maximizes the global public good by being rapid, transparent, relevant, equitable, and inclusive.

  Research Lifecycle –Sharing Outputs At Every Stage Data/results Micropublications PreprintArticle Discovery and Use Data is annotated and openly available, notebooks are shared Short, citable publications are shared early and often Early forms of article are posted and available for comment, and various forms of review Article is a living publication, able to be updated, versioned, and open access Research objects are networked to each other and available for real-time collaboration Incentives and rewards motivate the behavior at each stage

  Communities are workingto solve these problems • Caltech Wormbase Micropublications, RapidScience, eLife’s collaborative peer review, PLOS Currents, F1000Research, preprint projects/services Slow • Stencila living figures and data-driven documents, RapidScience Evidence Reviews, Hypothes.is, data/code repositories Static • Removing journal name in researcher assessment, RapidScience’s collaboration score, alternative metrics, “counting” preprints in tenure/promotion/grant, funder publishing channels Incentives • Open access, standing up to “big deals”, open source alternatives to commercial vendors, efforts to track true costs of publishing, low cost/free publishing alternatives Entrenchment

  Coko believes... No oneplatform can solve all the problems. We need an ecosystem of tools and software. We should build modular & interoperable things. The community must create and own solutions.

  It’s working An improvementfor one becomes an improvement for all. Individual communities can focus on core areas of expertise — peer review, hosting, discovery — knowing that their innovations will improve the entire system. The result is more creativity, a more diverse set of solutions, and, ultimately, faster progress. -Andrew Smeall, Hindawi Having other people build components to solve the problems you are facing is a great benefit of a common infrastructure. but also knowing that what you’re building is useful to more than just your team really adds energy and purpose to our teams of developers and designers. -Paul Shannon, eLife
