Pedro has been on quite a roll lately, with a series of wonderful posts. In keeping with the current thread on open science, I would like to point you to this post, where Pedro talks about a presentation by Chris Surridge, managing editor of PLoS One. In the presentation, part of OpenWetWare’s seminar series, Chris talks about the philosophy and aims driving PLoS One.
I found it quite amusing to hear the science 2.0 term, since I have been consciously avoiding it in these pages. I also found the whole discussion around why journals exist quite interesting. It’s over an hour long, so make some time. I am still not sure what to expect, but I can’t wait for PLoS One to come out.
Just because I have never done it before, I am going to embed the video here as well

After a while the 2.0 gimmick becomes a bit too much. It is a very successful meme. Here is for example a podcast about Library 2.0
I have been trying to say open science instead of science 2.0 to mean a more transparent scientific process and not just open access that refers to accessibility to the papers.

It almost becomes negative, and I think in science, it’s almost self defeating. I’ll definitely check out the podcast later today. As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve been using open publishing/open access a lot more. Time to start talking about “open science” more as well. The key is to make people understand that open science is all about having an open dialogue and about sharing and not just because we need to, but because it actually helps develop the field.
