My {Biased} Perspective
• I am a domain scientist (computational molecular biology)
• I co-direct the RCSB Protein Data Bank• I co-founded and am EIC of one Public Library of
Science (PLoS) open access journals – There must be a business model
• I co-founded a company, SciVee Inc., that is attempting to leverage the perceived changes in scholarly communication
• I support a small academic scholarly communication group

What Drives Me….
The Story of Meredith

Meredith was Successful Because….
• She is an exceptional individual
• Much of the data and knowledge she needed she had to beg for; she used the UCSD library
• She easily got access to computer time
I want others less smart like myself to be successful too..

What is Wrong Today?
• Formal science communication:– Occurs too slowly – Reaches too few people– Costs too much– Ignores the data– Is very hard to reproduce
• Is stuck in the era of the printing press – we need to move Beyond the PDF and use the power of the medium

It’s a Start…
• We have scratched the surface, but have yet to explore the core
• But look what we could do…

1. A link brings up figures from the paper
0. Full text of PLoS papers stored in a database
2. Clicking the paper figure retrievesdata from the PDB which is
analyzed
3. A composite view ofjournal and database
content results
My Dream
1. User reads a paper (one view of the info)
2. Clicks on a figure which can be analyzed
3. Clicking the figure gives a composite database + journal view
4. This takes you to yet more papers or databases
4. The composite view haslinks to pertinent blocks
of literature text and back to the PDB

Much of What We Try and Do Leverages Open Access

Literature: OA Biosciences
• Meredith certainly benefited from the OA literature, but not enough …
• … we have a long way to go in several respects

Literature: So What has Happened with This?
• The value seems to be in restful services that enable databases to recognize where in the literature their data are referenced
• We use this in the PDB in the following way….

Literature: Word Add-in for Authors
• Allows authors to add metadata as they write, before they submit the manuscript
• Authors are assisted by automated term recognition– OBO ontologies– Database IDs
• Metadata are embedded directly into the manuscript document via XML tags, OOXML format– Open– Machine-readable

Lets Turn Our Attention to Data ….

Data: Thoughts from the Biosciences
• Growth – DNA sequence data are doubling every 5 months
• NLM/NCBI is amazing• Other great resources – but a slow realization
they are appearing stove piped• Data are undervalued (more on this)• We need a data registry for deep search and
comparison

Methods: Is Reproducibility a Myth?
• My views of reproducibility:– We all express the importance, but the only time
it is tested is when something is truly novel or error is suspected
– Reproducability covers a spectrum of meaning – by whom and with how much effort
– The longer the time lag the less likely something is reproducible

PLoS Comp Biol Software
• Requires source be deposited in an open source public repository
• Encourages a copy of record be deposited with the article
• Requires that the reviewer be able to test the software if they wish - implies data, documentation, test parameters and output be provided for checking
Motivation: S.Veretnik, J.L.Fink, and P.E. Bourne 2008 Computational Biology Resources Lack Persistence and Usability.

Methods: Workflows - Our Own Experience
• Its hard and embarrassing• We have a working prototype using Wings• I can feel the potential productivity gains• My students are more doubtful• Its been a lot of fun and will enable us to
improve our processes regardless of the workflow system itself

Nothing is Going to Change Unless The Reward System Changes

Interim Solution: Use the Traditional Reward System
The Wikipedia Experiment – Topic Pages
• Identify areas of Wikipedia that relate to the journal that are missing of stubs
• Develop a Wikipedia page in the sandbox
• Have a Topic Page Editor Review the page
• Publish the copy of record with associated rewards
• Release the living version into Wikipedia
