o work on a more detailed business model, based on the Business Model Generation methodology
I still think sustainability of the whole ecosystem is a big theme. I know that Cameron is doing work on this but it would be good to bring this into the FORCE11 community.
On the Force11Â website, we make some concrete proposals for describing and utilising such new metrics.
Do we actually have this? I think we don't have many guidelines here, which would be great.
It is the mandate of force to facilitate that acceleration:
I wonder about two things: The back catalog that's not denovo OA and also about sustainability here. This is something where FORCE11 could potentially contribute.
Traditional Publishing Models
I think the interesting movement here is toward the post first model happening using arxiv. Overlay journals are really starting to happen. http://openreview.net
reusable
We're starting to see some of this in code but I think there's a long way to go ... What can FORCE11 do to help this?
Terms in electronic documents may be automatically disambiguated and semantically defined by linking to standard terminology repositories, allowing more accurate retrieval in searches; complex entities mentioned in documents may be automatically expanded to show diagrams or pictures that facilitate understanding; citations to other documents may be enhanced by summaries generated automatically from the cited documents. Documents may be automatically clustered with others that are similar, showing their relationship to others within their scholarly context, and their place in the ongoing evolution of ideas. Ancillary material that augments the text of the scholarly work may be linked to or distributed with the work; this may include numerical data (from experiments), images and videos (showing procedures or scenarios), sound recordings, presentational materials, and other elements in forms of media still on the horizon. Extracts and discussions of scholarly work on social media such as blogs, online discussion groups and Twitter may greatly broaden the visibility of a work and enable it to be better evaluated and cross-linked to other information sources.
The funny thing is that if you look around you can find many examples of exactly the things envisioned here. I think we just need to market them more i.e. the scholarly landscape. The future is already here it's just unevenly distributed.
open movement
We seem to have become a community rather than the name of a movement.
