Abstract |
Poster presented at Force 2015 https://www.force11.org/meetings/force2015 In the fast developing world of scholarly communication it is good to take a step back and look at the patterns and processes of innovation in this field. To this end, we have selected 101 innovations (in the form of tools & sites) and graphically displayed them by year and also according to 6 phases of the research workflow: collection of data & literature, analysis, writing, publishing & archiving, outreach and assessment. This overview facilitates discussion on processes of innovation, disruption, diffusion, consolidation, competition and success, but also of failure and stagnation, over the last 3 decades. We describe some of the trends, expectations, uncertainties, opportunities and challenges within each of the workflow phases. Also, based on the graphical overview we present a juxtaposition of typical traditional, innovative and experimental workflows. Accompanying material (see links below) 1) Survey on real-world tool usage (open until Feb 2016) 2) Database of 400+ tools (Google Spreadsheet) 3) Database of 101 tools + workflows |
