A Huge Leap Forward for Open Science

A Huge Leap Forward for Open Science
www.crowdsourcing.org
"This week’s news that researchers at Cern (European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland are publishing their results “so other scientists can determine if the approach contains any mistakes” represents a huge leap forward for Open Science....In the course of the experiments, during which muon neutrinos were sent through the earth to an underground lab at Gran Sasso in Italy to see how many show up there as tau neutrinos, researchers noticed that the particles were consistently arriving up to 60 billionths of a second earlier than if they had been travelling at the speed of light. Although this change is tiny and fractional, it was happening consistently. This would be deemed as a “formal discovery” in scientific circles, but the team is aware that systematic errors could lead to erroneous results – a possibility that has led to them publishing their measurements online....Failure to find any mistake has led to the research team opening up the findings to the global scientific community for scrutiny in the hope that other scientists may find inconsistencies in measurements, leading to repetition of the experiment elsewhere...."

Public-Knowledge-Projektgründer plädiert für "Kultur des Teilens"
Heise Online
From Google's English: "The free access to scientific literature and thus the results of publicly funded research, for which the open access movement begins, is only at first glance, a break with the commercialization of scientific publications and is about creeping intellectual property rights dar. This thesis represented Stanford Professor John Willinsky , at the PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference 2011 at the Free University of Berlin. Historically, the culture of sharing of results and findings would be very much older than the publishing industry and in general even than the invention of printing...."

European Science and Technology Issue 12 - Foreword: Dieter Imboden, President of EUROHORCs, the association of heads of European Research Organisations
www.publicservice.co.uk
"NROs [National Research Organizations] increasingly pool their efforts with the aid of pan-European umbrella organisations, such as the new organisation 'Science Europe' that will be founded in October this year. The creation of Science Europe reflects the conviction that joint actions of NROs, as outlined in the Roadmap for a Globally Competitive ERA (2009) developed by ESF [European Science Foundation] and EUROHORCs [European Heads of Research Councils], need a more efficient umbrella organisation. Such actions include the creation of simple cross-border funding schemes like the Money Follows Researcher and the Lead Agency programmes, the advancement of Open Access, the constant improvement of peer review, and more...."
