The Fourth Paradigm:

Early Information Technology Influences on My Career as a Scientist

The Fourth Paradigm:

Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery

“In Jim Gray’s last talk to the Computer Science and Telecommunications Board on January 11, 2007, he described his vision of the fourth paradigm of scientific research.

He outlined a two-part plea for the funding of tools for data capture, curation, and analysis, and for a communication and publication infrastructure.

He argued for the establishment of modern stores for data and documents that are on par with traditional libraries.”

Science in the Age of Openness


Challenges Remain

■Open access■Data management &

access■Public engagement


Open Access


Emerging Issue: Open Access

Open Access

■ Open Access literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions

■ Works are still covered by copyright law, but Open Access terms apply to allow sharing and reuse

■ All major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on the importance of peer review

A movement in higher education to increase access to scholarly research and communication, not limiting it solely to subscribers or purchasers of works.

Public Engagement


Roscoe Collegiate High School■ Roscoe Collegiate became the

first rural Early College in Texas in 2009 – a college readiness program

■ Intent of the Roscoe Collegiate Model ■Each student to complete the

Associate Degree as an indicator of college readiness,

■Students earn a STEM field endorsement as an indicator of workforce readiness.

http://www.wtc.edu/students/distancelearning/roscoecollegiate.html


Roscoe Collegiate Capstone STEM Research Experience

■ As alternatives to standardize testing, students engage in authentic research projects■Student-led questioning, data collection and analysis,

poster development & presentation■All students in grades 3-11 conduct 4H-based (agricultural)

research projects■Grade 12 year-long, career path relevant capstone

research project.■ Bond approval to construct STEM Research Center


Open Access to Knowledge Search (OAKSearch)

■ “It was very helpful to me as I used it for writing some curriculum material.

■ Another teacher I know used it for her work on her masters degree.

■ We used it in our college readiness program to teach students the differences between lower level sources and academic sources.

■ Lastly, our STEM research class students used it to find sources!“ http://library.tamu.edu/oaksearch/
