Design Brief for OpenSciLogs
Target Audience: Readers generally engaged with science; other science bloggers and journalists
Tone: Open to new ideas and directions, transparent, participatory
Platforms: SciLogs.com blog posts for updates and final story; Google doc or other document file sharing for raw materials, notes, references, links etc.; Social media for audience engagement
Content: In-depth, critical analysis of a science or science communication issue or topic that deserves more attention, that readers express an interest in, etc.
Conversation: The goal is to spark conversation and participation in the ongoing story, not to keep materials, quotes, or story ideas close for fear of ‘scooping.’
Specific Design Concepts & Rules1. Crowd-funding of in-depth “open notebook” science
reporting “story project” by one SciLogs blogger every 30 days.
2. Selected blogger, once funded, begins the reporting phase. For each story project, the funded blogger provides all raw data, notes, source information and source contact information (if permission granted from source) in a public Google Doc (or similar public document sharing tool), on an ongoing basis.
3. For each story project, the selected blogger is strongly encouraged to have another blogger, journalist or editor fact-check (for a share of the funding or authorship.)
4. For the duration of each story project, the lead blogger posts weekly short blog updates.
5. Anyone can contribute story ideas, story content and/or multimedia to each OpenSciLogs story project, and are encouraged to claim partial authorship.
