New access structures to scientific information: the case of Science 2.0 Sonja Špiranec; Ana Babić, Ana Lešković Department of Information Sciences, Croatia
2
Science 2.0 Although efforts in this direction are still too scattered to be called a movement, an ever growing number of researchers are beginning to harness wikis, blogs and other Web 2.0 technologies as a potentially transformative way of doing science. Science + Web 2.0 = Science 2.0 Potentials + Risks = Science 2.0
3
Acceleration and multiplying of scientific communication processes
4
New communication channels: blogs, wikis...
5
Access points to knowledge, collaborative organization of resources
6
Alternative forms of evaluating and pre- reviewing scientific works
7
Risks Diverse issues that arise within Web 2.0 collaborative model of knowledge production, mash-up practice anonymity, privacy information spaces where authenticity, trustworthiness, authority and reliability have to be continually questioned. misinformation emerges, is worked over, refined A particular risk for scientists refers to the copy-past habits scientists who put preliminary findings online risk having others copy or exploit the work to gain credit or even patents; particularly in hypercompetitive fields promotion and tenure can hinge on being the first to publish a new discovery
8
Science 2.0: how far are we? researchers have begun to carry out their work via the wide-open tools of Web 2.0 the goal is to discover the degree of application of Web 2.0 tools within the scientific community
9
Research research (2009) in two directions: 1. Have Web 2.0 services already been integrated into academic databases? 2. To what degree have scientific information spaces been created within the world of Web 2.0?
10
Integration of Web 2.0 services into academic databases Citeseer (Citeseer x ) personalization and Web 2.0 features such as personal collections, tagging for articles, error correction and document submission (user-created content) offers bookmarking through several services such as Connotea and Bibsonomy
12
Bookmarking services the mostly used 2.0 applications in scientific work the most known bookmarking services in the scientific community are Connotea, Bibsonomy and CiteUlike created by the scientific community for the scientific community special features for this particular audience
13
Bookmarking services… All of the services continuously expand existing functionalities and include new ones
14
Scientific information spaces within the world of Web 2.0 2collab platform for cooperation using bookmarks or tags and sharing Internet resources, from articles to video clips building networks and find, evaluate and initiate contact with new people completely free, open and independent service
17
Trends Big databases incorporate in Web 2.0 trends work with services like RSS, bookmarking, tagging, annotation and reviews prevention of the risks that are caused by anonymity (identification of the user)
18
Conclusion comparison older or classical scientific practices with Web 2.0 practices transformation and shift Improvement of many facets of scientific work return to the values that where the supposed hallmarks of science emergence of ambiguous and controversial aspects
19
Science 2.0 allow scientists to build networks and communities, market themselves, improve multidirectional communication, publish or disseminate materials Web 2.0 tools have been integrated into academic databases and vice versa, scientific information spaces have been created within Web 2.0 environments
