Abstract

In the 20th century, the academic journals got picked up by big publishers who started charging the public a lot of money to access the science. In the 21st century, it is time to take back science publishing by making it open. The large amounts of high quality data generated by scientists today can revolutionize the way we practice and communicate science, but in doing so we need to strike the right balance between transparency and privacy. The first part of the talk will give a historical perspective of publishing and science communication, emphasizing the need for transparency, data and code curation. The second part will introduce the NeuroLibre<https://neurolibre.org/> reproducible preprint server, aiming to go beyond the PDF and point the way toward the research article of the future.






Welcome All!
