What follows are a mix of technologies and actual search systems that I've been looking at that have potential to go beyond what current web scale or index based discovery offers. Some merely offer a new feature or two that might be incorporated fairly easily, others are based on fundamentally different frameworks and paradigms that supplement or might eventually replace current systems.
A tale of two 'opens': intersections between Free and Open Source Software and Open Scholarship
A tale of two 'opens': intersections between Free and Open Source Software and Open Scholarship
There is no clear-cut boundary between Free and Open Source Software and Open Scholarship, and the histories, practices, and fundamental principles between the two remain complex. In this study, we critically appraise the intersections and differences between the two movements.
Science's 'Irreproducibility Crisis' Is a Public Policy Crisis Too
Congress will have to pay for some steps to ensure greater reproducibility in the sciences. In the end, those steps will save enormous amounts now spent building blind allies and mirages. What’s needed are standardized descriptions of scientific materials and procedures, standardized statistics programs, and standardized archival formats.
