the “social” side of digital science
about Digital Scienceour view of “social”changing behavior

what we think of as “social” in research
(from 33,000 feet)
(not in the social networking business)
social has been worked into (almost) every aspect of our
online interaction
science is changing(and the research workflow)

science = inherently social (with a few bugs)
(think knowledge exchange)
social in terms of knowledge discovery
still the starting point
patents are no better(in many cases, worse)
can streamline
in labs, this is social

sharing information
different types of “data”
“i invented a folder based system ...”
“i invented a folder based system ...”
“yeah, we had a LIMS. it only ever got used to store photos
from lab nights out.”
social for data
feedback, visibility, etc.
sharing informationstill hits most’s mental block
how we measure, incentivise
data capture(of a different sort)
the “social issue”best practices
behaviour roadblocksdiscipline / researcher specific
change in what we measure
paper’s still the currency
“scientific contribution” has moved beyond just the
paper
our metrics need to reflect that

using technology to spur cultural shift
what do we want on the back of our (science) baseball
cards?
