This project will explore how ICT and lessons from the software engineering and social web communities can be applied to provoke a radical paradigm shift in the way scientific knowledge is created, disseminated, evaluated, and maintained. This new paradigm will transform a scientific publication from a static artifact to a Liquid Publication that can take multiple forms, that evolves continuously, and is enriched by multiple sources.
The expected benefits of this transformation are:
- Earlier and greater circulation of innovative ideas, hence, more effective dissemination.
- Collaborative research efforts built on previous knowledge.
- Optimization of the time researchers spend creating, assessing and disseminating knowledge while improving the quality of the paper selection processes for conferences and journals.
- Rationalization of credit attribution processes based on social networks, team and community work, collaborative problem solving, social reputation, and distribution of knowledge.
- Delivery of innovative products and services for publishers that add value to their traditional businesses.
Our contribution:
The UDT-IA's current tasks as part of the development of the LiquidPub platform are:
- OpinioNet Reputation Module: The OpinioNet reputation module provides a set of algorithms for computing the reputation of two of the resources defined in the LP Platform: contribution and person.
- LiquidPub Management System (LPMaSys): LPMASys providies users with straight forward means for the specification and the automatic execution of the processes concerned with the creation, dissemination, and evaluation of research work.
