Unconference Critique Digitale

Panel 3, Session 2 Zurich

Do., 21.10.21, 15.45 - 16.30

Title: Moritz Mähr: Micropublications (secure research data, do something participant driven, new ways for preprints)

What are micropublications?

• (Short) text(s), source(s), collection(s)
• Hypertextual (or even linked data)
• URI (URL, DOI, ARK)

Examples

• https://cache.ch/

Gabi

• Securing research data

Ina

• What to report?

Wendelin

• The act of publishing (the meaning)
• Finalising thoughts by publishing

Victoria Fleury

• Repositories

Open Questions/Topics:

• What is research data? What to report?

• Which steps do you take (method)

• Documenting everything? Does it help to grasp the essence? Culture of your discipline!?

  • Status -> temporary, intermediate or final (and who has the authority)

• Blogging is more accessible

• Half of the professionals get the concept (writing papers instead) > Blog turned into a journal?

• Temporary status has a value of its own (3 reasons to have a blog that disappears afterwards: collaboration, marking territory, influencing)

• Publications as products and not only as data

  • Repositories

• https://mhistories.hypotheses.org/

• Low entry barrier infrastructures for authors

• (Collaborative) annotations like https://web.hypothes.is/

What we wish for:

Gabi: More flexibility, more acceptance

Ina: Infrastructure for student writing and temporary writing (but it needs to be maintained)

Victoria: Hybrid and more freedom

Wendelin: Where does valuation take place? > more critical stance against instiutions, publishing houses
