"eLife – Towards open communication in science"

Abstract:

There is a wide and expanding range of options for scientists to share their ideas, opinions and findings. But in most people’s eyes the only channel that ‘counts’ is still the peer-reviewed journal article. This talk will explore the approaches that eLife, and others, are taking to improve the evaluation and presentation of research, along with some of the forces that might be challenging the primacy of the journal article, and how these changes could lead to a more transparent and collaborative culture in science.
