Keynote: Working in an Open Science Environment: a factory report

Abstract:

In this talk, I will outline knowledge production processes under Open Science settings. I will introduce the audience to all relevant components of proper Open Science (publications, data, software, …). A focus will be the infrastructural aspects and issues of the current scholarly communication system. In the second part, I will report about two recent projects at GESIS which support Open Science. 1) the OSCOSS – Opening Scholarly Communication in the Social Sciences [1] project and 2) the EXCITE – Extraction of Citations from PDF Documents [2] project. Both software development projects tackle different stages in the scientific communication system and provide prototypical open technical infrastructures: for integrated collaborative writing, submitting and reviewing of academic papers in OSCOSS; for extracting, segmenting, matching and publishing of academic references from PDF full texts in EXCITE.
