Introduction
Provisional program
The third conference addressed 3 major themes essential to research scientists and academic clinicians, as well as publishers.
- Open Access and beyond. What is happening to OA publishing and OA archiving? Are ‘wikis’ emerging as reliable sources of information and venues for publishing results? What about the importance of datasets being open? And how are reference and bibliometric services responding?
- Impact of science. Can bibliometrics be employed to evaluate research at the level of the researcher, the department, the institute and even at the country or federation level? Are the measures currently being developed sufficiently fair, objective and robust for governing bodies to use them? Is your research being fairly judged? What about (micro-, nano-) credits for small, but significant contributions that are very useful but do not amount to full papers? What information are the funding authorities and tenure committees using to evaluate proposals and achievements?
- Translational Medicine. Is knowledge transferred properly and efficiently ‘from bench to bed’? And is the existing knowledge communicated reliably from the research lab to the general public? If not (yet), what are the sticky points? What is – or should be – the role of publishers in this?
The conference gathered the most authoritative, interesting, and ‘cutting-edge’ opinions on these issues and offered the opportunity to learn about and participate in the worldwide discussions on these topics.
