- Jason R. Kelly 15:41, 15 March 2008 (CDT): Goal here is to do our best to loosely specify the research process and highlights points were information is generated or where collaboration occurs. Our hypothesis is that science would benefit from the information being shared and the collaboration happening widely and in the open.
- Define each of the stages in the open research pipeline. How important are they to both the existing OWW community and new communities for enabling research or helping it flow more smoothly?
- Determine the tools, both on OWW and in other places, that support each of the stages in the open research pipeline. Are these the right tools? How do they help the researcher move from one stage to the next, or between stages?
- Where are the bottlenecks in the open research pipeline?
- Where are the opportunities to improve the process?
Ideas
- Current widely accepted practice: Ideas are normally not widely shared at this point in the pipeline. Occasionally they will be shared among close colleagues, collaborators, or within labs. Sometimes contained in discussion section of peer-reviewed publications.
- Best examples of sharing/openness: In science: IGEM:Idea exchange. In other fields, haven't looked much: kluster.com
Background Research
- Current widely accepted practice: This is an information aggregation process. Background research is most commonly disseminated in the form of closed-access, peer-reviewed literature reviews.
- Best examples of sharing/openness: Aggregator sites such as postgenomic, scintilla?, OpenWetWare:Reviews. In non-scientific fields there are many examples of tools to aid this process: delicious, technorati
Refined Ideas
- Current widely accepted practice: These are actionable ideas based on experts parsing previous work, and making seeing a gap in knowledge that can be addressed experimentally. These are almost never shared outside of labs.
- Best examples of sharing/openness: None?
Experimental Plan
- Current widely accepted practice: The experimental plan for conducting research.
- Best examples of sharing/openness: Thesis proposals? I posted mine ;)
- There might be incentive to share something like this if there was a market of free-lance scientists that were interested in taking on side projects / plan proposer would need to feel that they were protected from theft of their ides.
