Round-up of links we have recently loved
Things have been a little hectic, so we are simply listing here a collection of links which have stopped us getting on with work and caused us to open a new tab in Firefox. Hopefully they will do the same for you:
- BBC News: Tim Berners-Lee is increasingly worried about the way the web has been used to spread disinformation and wants a way to help people separate rumour from real science
- UK petition to get publically funded research published in OA journals
- The Economist on user-generated science
- Jon Udell on machine readability of data. If you ever wondered why we insist on fully-marked up xml when people currently tend to print off pdfs, this is a simple example why.
- The next 50 years of science: In the next 50 years, as the technologies of information and
knowledge accelerate, the nature of the scientific process will change
even more than it has in the last 400 years.
- Ever wondered what $700bn in science funding would look like?
- A proposed standard for the Scholarly Citation of Quantitative Data
- Perils of non-OA publishing: Dear Nature...
- BioMed Central's Matt Cockerill on the future of science
- Science in the 21st century - a fantastic-looking conference with all the presentations in mp3 and streaming video format for ipod enjoyment.
