  2. What is the FORCE11? Future of Research Communications and E-Scholarship: A grass roots effort to accelerate the pace and nature of scholarly communications and e-scholarship through technology, education and community Why 11? We were born in 2011 in Dagstuhl, Germany Principles laid out in the FORCE11 Manifesto

  3. FORCE11 Vision • Modern technologies enable vastly improve knowledge transfer and far wider impact; freed from the restrictions of paper, numerous advantages appear • We see a future in which scientific information and scholarly communication more generally become part of a global, universal and explicit network of knowledge • To enable this vision, we need to create and use new forms of scholarly publication that work with reusable scholarly artifacts • To obtain the benefits that networked knowledge promises, we have to put in place reward systems that encourage scholars and researchers to participate and contribute • To ensure that this exciting future can develop and be sustained, we have to support the rich, variegated, integrated and disparate knowledge offerings that new technologies enable Beyond the PDF Visual Notes by De Jongens van de Tekeningen is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

  9. Manifesto 1.0 Manifesto 2.0 Can we check some things off? What do we need to add?

  10. Why is the Manifesto a PDF? • The Manifesto should be an exemplar of a new form of scholarly communication • Interactive • Collaborative • Born for the web • The Digital Humanities has been thinking and creating in this medium Tara McPherson, University of Southern California

  11. Scholarly communication landscape: Is there a big picture? Workflows 4Ever ORCID Data Verse PeerJ, eLife Are we really suffering from a lack of tools? -or is it usable tools? -or is it tools that are used? -or is it awareness that there are tools? -or are these even the right tools? Research Data Alliance Scalar Impact Story, Rubriq Data journals Sadie

  12. What can we do now? • Are there known best practices and tools that can/should be used now by the FORCE11 community? e.g., ORCID ID • Shouldn’t we be inventing the future?

  13. What big issues are we not addressing? New roles and vanishing roles • Librarians are publishers • Scholars are curators • Publishers are archivists • Scholars are customers • Scholars are publishers • Everyone is a standards developer! • Is there still a role for everyone?

  14. What big issues are we not addressing? Are there broad agreements that need to be forged? • Open citations? Text mining across the corpus? An open alternative to Google Scholar? • Where is lack of coordination holding us back? Are the issues the same for all stakeholders? • Humanities and sciences • Developed and developing world • Technologists and scholars • Institutions and individuals • Scholars and taxpayers Can and should everyone be brought to the table for all discussions?

  15. Questions for you? Is your community represented in FORCE11? Are your needs the same as other stakeholders in the areas of: • Containers • Processes • Mark up • Authoring • Reward Do you have other needs not outlined in the manifesto? What do you need from FORCE11? • Users? • Tools? • Collaborators? • Advertising? • A bully pulpit? • Protocols and best practices? What can you do for FORCE11?
