  1. It’s time we changed how research is done William Gunn, Ph.D. Head of Academic Outreach twitter: @mrgunn

  2. [1] Online experimental peer review of the “Arsenic Life” paper that recently appeared in Science: http://rrresearch.fieldofscience.com/2010/12/arsenic-associated-bacteria-nasas.html [2] Open Science is a Research Accelerator, M. Woelfle, P. Olliaro and M. H. Todd, Nature Chemistry2011, 3, 745-748. http://www.nature.com/nchem/journal/v3/n10/full/nchem.1149.html PLoS ONE ALM API: http://api.plos.org/alm/examples/ Mendeley’s API: http://dev.mendeley.com Biocurious: http://biocurious.org/

  3. “All the time we are very conscious of the huge challenges that human society has now – curing cancer, understanding the brain for Alzheimer‘s [...]. But a lot of the state of knowledge of the human race is sitting in the scientists’ computers, and is currently not shared […] We need to get it unlocked so we can tackle those huge problems.“

  4. US National Academies “Grand Challenges”: Climate change Artificial Intelligence Sustainable food supplies Clean energy Clean water Terrorist violence Pandemic diseases Tools of scientific discovery

  5. Mendeley.. ..makes science more collaborative and transparent ..is creating the world’s largest open research database ..helps researchers work smarter Tools of scientific discovery

  6. It’s Open! http://www.isitopendata.org/enquiry/view/43bcbda2-30ef-486b-9c52-4378ede75c7d/

  7. Mendeley helps researchers work smarter

  8. Mendeley helps researchers work smarter Install Mendeley Desktop Mendeley extracts research data..

  9. Mendeley helps researchers work smarter ..and aggregates research data in the cloud Mendeley extracts research data..

  10. By doing this, Mendeley makes science more collaborative and transparent:

  11. University of Cambridge Stanford University MIT Imperial College London University of Oxford Harvard University University of Michigan University College London University of California at Berkeley Sao Paulo University University of Edinburgh Cornell University Princeton University RWTH Aachen Columbia UniversityMax Planck Society University of Cologne Yale University University of Wisconsin University of Florida 1,000,000 people are using Mendeley!

  12. Real-time data on 30m research papers: Last year...

  13. Real-time data on 29m research papers: Thomson Reuters’ Web of Knowledge Last year...

  14. Over 1,000,000 people are using Mendeley • Over 120M papers have been uploaded • Over 1000 API keys have been given to • developers

  15. Open API Mashups with data on: Chemical compounds Locations Alzheimer’s research Grant funding Twitter streams

  16. Scientists Librarians Device Manufacturers?

  17. Select relation: supports refutes complements uses same data ... Human-curated, constantly evolving, linked scientific database
