Publishing scientific papers in the 21st century

Publishing scientific papers in the 21st century

Part of "Wiley Research APAC Webinars", join Alberto Pepe and Matteo Cavalleri to discover how preprints, open data, interactive figures, multimedia elements, and code integration are changing research communication in scholarly journals.

The format of science papers and articles now have hardly changed since the 17th century, even though research methods and published content have evolved immensely. Why do scientists produce innovative modern-day research, but still publish it in a 400-year-old format? What can we do to produce scientific articles ‘of the future’ that better serve the global, collaborative, and data-rich science of the 21st century?

Alberto Pepe, Senior Director, Strategy and Innovation, Atypon and Matteo Cavalleri, Publisher, Wiley will be discussing Wiley’s vision of the scientific article, and how preprints, interactive figures, multimedia elements and code integration are innovating scholarly publications.

  2. Research is becoming more
    computational, collaborative, data-
    driven, automated, and web-based.
    Researchers produce
    21st century research
    Written up using
    20th century technology
    Published in a
    17th century format
    Most paper formats are not natively
    collaborative, data-driven, version
    controlled, or backwards compatible.
    A centuries-old research “paper” is
    much like papers we publish, share
    and read today (i.e., static, 2D PDFs)

    So… 🤔
    Why not use preprints to experiment with 21st
    century publishing?💡

    considerable effort to verify the software and re-run analyses with, say, changed parameters. 10.22541/au.160211021.13787691/v1
