System of Journals
October 8, 2014 CC-‐BY-‐SA, @hvdsomp and @atreloar
System of Journals • Rosendaal and Geurts (1997) • Registration
– submission of manuscript • Certification
– peer-review (pre-publication) – commentary (post-publication)
• Awareness – discovery services
• Archiving – libraries (print) – publishers (electronic) – special purpose organisations (e.g. Portico)

Pointers to the future
“the future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed”
William Gibson, NPR interview So, let’s look at the most evenly distributed example we have - lifesciences

Caveats
• Different disciplines have different cultures and practices
• Lifesciences even differ somewhat from other sciences
• But they are tackling some of the challenges now that other disciplines will face soon (or are grappling with now): – increased data volumes and complexity – greater reliance on in-silico science – need to support greater transparency and collaboration

Web platforms for scholarship
• Common web platforms are increasingly used for scholarship – Wikis, GitHub, DropBox, Twitter, Wordpress, etc.
• Many of these have desirable characteristics: – Versioning – Timestamping – Social embedding
• They record rather than archive • But they are capturing critical elements of the
scholarly process

Github terms of service
October 8, 2014 CC-‐BY-‐SA, @hvdsomp and @atreloar

Web of Objects – Core Observations
• The research process, not just its outcome, is becoming visible … on the web
• Massive extension of the scholarly record with an enormous variety of novel objects
• The objects are heterogeneous, dynamic, compound, inter-related and distributed across the web
• The objects are often hosted on common web platforms that are not dedicated to scholarship
The archival paradigm [and infrastructure] must take these characteristics into account

Transfer from recording to archive
• What: Boundaries of archived object(s) • When: Triggers for archival transition • Who: Archivist? Researcher? Software? • Why: Motivations to archive
October 8, 2014 CC-‐BY-‐SA, @hvdsomp and @atreloar
Further work
• Exploring the implications of this approach, and answers to some of these questions, together with the archival team at DANS (and the institutions/researchers with whom they engage)

Conclusion
• Nature of research process is changing • Kinds of research objects (inputs and outputs)
are changing • Need the ability to record and archive processes
as well as outputs • Archives need to respond to these changes
