Re-inventing the anatomy of a research article.
Saturday, December 29th, 2018The traditional structure of the research article has been honed and perfected for over 350 years by its custodians, the publishers of scientific journals. Nowadays, for some journals at least, it might be viewed as much as a profit centre as the perfected mechanism for scientific communication. Here I take a look at the components of such articles to try to envisage its future, with the focus on molecules and chemistry.

Open Access journal publishing debates – the elephant in the room?
Sunday, November 4th, 2018For perhaps ten years now, the future of scientific publishing has been hotly debated. The traditional models are often thought to be badly broken, although convergence to a consensus of what a better model should be is not apparently close. But to my mind, much of this debate seems to miss one important point, how to publish data.

PIDapalooza 2018. A conference like no other!
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018Another occasional conference report (day 1). So why is one about “persistent identifiers” important, and particularly to the chemistry domain?

Two stories about Open Peer Review (OPR), the next stage in Open Access (OA).
Thursday, October 5th, 2017We have heard a lot about OA or Open Access (of journal articles) in the last five years, often in association with the APC (Article Processing Charge) model of funding such OA availability. Rather less discussed is how the model of the peer review of these articles might also evolve into an Open environment. Here I muse about two experiences I had recently.

Chemistry preprint servers (revisited).
Tuesday, August 16th, 2016This week the ACS announced its intention to establish a “ChemRxiv preprint server to promote early research sharing“. This was first tried quite a few years ago, following the example of especially the physicists. As I recollect the experiment lasted about a year, attracted few submissions and even fewer of high quality. Will the concept succeed this time, in particular as promoted by a commercial publisher rather than a community of scientists (as was the original physicists model)?

Collaborative FAIR data sharing.
Sunday, April 17th, 2016I want to describe a recent attempt by a group of collaborators to share the research data associated with their just published article.[1]
