The document discusses 10 observations about using open access content and summarizing a lecture on the topic. It observes that the amount of scientific literature is increasing rapidly but can only be read fractionally. It notes that open access could change scholarly discourse by making literature freely available. It suggests merging databases and journals for a new learning experience, using semantic enrichment to better integrate content, and utilizing rich media like video to increase discovery rates.
Ten Simple Observations Using Open Access Content SciVee & Beyond the PDF
1. Using Open Access Content: Ten Simple Observations SciVee & Beyond the PDF Philip E. Bourne University of California San Diego [email_address] www.sdsc.edu/pb http://www.slideshare.net/pebourne/p-lo-s
5. Let me Start with a Few Observations Observation 1. Scientific culture is causing us to try and write more and read more
6. You Cannot Possibly Read a Fraction of the Papers You Should write more and read more Renear & Palmer 2009 Science 325:828-832
7. Scanning More Reading Less Renear & Palmer 2009 Science 325:828-832 write more and read more

9. Observation 2 In 1993 there were very few electronic journals, by 2003 nearly all were on-line, by 2013 there will be little or no paper Most traditional publishers have only really achieved an electronic print like experience – the power of the medium is for the taking
12. Observation 5. I Believe Open Access IF Fully Accepted Could Profoundly Change Scholarly Discourse It remains a big IF Open Access: Taking Full Advantage of the Content PLoS Comp. Biol. 2008 4(3) e1000037

14. Growth of PubMed Central Open access could profoundly change scholarly discourse

17. Observation 6 A biological database is not really that different from a biological journal – this can be exploited PLoS Comp. Biol . 2005 1(3) e34
18. The Data Knowledge Cycle Biocuration Electronic Supplements Databases versus journals

23. The Test Bed http://www.wwpdb.org/ http://www.plos.org/ http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/ Merge journals and databases

27. Author Submission via the Web Depositor Submission via the Web Syntax Checking Syntax Checking Review by Scientists & Editors Review by Annotators Corrections by Author Corrections by Depositor Publish – Web Accessible Release – Web Accessible Similar Processes Lead to Similar Resources Merge journals and databases
28. So the processes are not that dissimilar it is the final product that is perceived so differently Even that might be changing slowly? PLoS Comp. Biol. 2008 4(12) e1000247 Merge journals and databases
29. Merged: The Database View www.rcsb.org/pdb/explore/literature.do?structureId=1TIM Merge journals and databases
30. Merged: The Literature View Nucleic Acids Research 2008 36(S2) W385-389 http://biolit.ucsd.edu Merge journals and databases
37. Challenges: Author Use IF one or more publishers fast tracked a paper that had semantic markup I would argue it would catch on in no time Merge journals and databases – requires semantic enrichment
39. Where We Would Like to Be: Data Clustering via the Literature Shared Function Enhanced modes of learning Immunology Literature Cardiac Disease Literature
Specifically, our aim is to achieve open access to the literature, whereby journal articles are freely available immediately upon publication their use is unrestricted, so that readers can download, print off, reanalyse, extract data and so on authors retain the copyright, and specifically the right to be appropriately cited papers are also deposited separately from the publisher in a public online archive (PMC)
