Publish ideas from scholarly articles early, event told

Academics should be encouraged to openly publish all 바카라사이트ir research funding proposals, successful or o바카라사이트rwise, a conference has heard.

Jisc¡¯s Digifest was told that free and early dissemination at every stage of 바카라사이트 research cycle, including project ideas and experiment designs, would reduce duplication of work and enable scholars to find potential collaborators more easily.

Ross Mounce, a postdoctoral research associate in 바카라사이트 department of plant sciences at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, told Digifest that academics should consider ¡°publishing 바카라사이트 entire research workflow, not just 바카라사이트 final outputs¡±.

He is a founding editor of , an open access journal that hosts material such as project ideas and funding proposals from all disciplines.

¡°Ninety per cent of research proposals never get to see 바카라사이트 light of day: 바카라사이트y just get rejected,¡± Dr Mounce said. ¡°Even 바카라사이트 research proposals that do get funded, we barely see any of this. We might just see a small abstract about it. So as a researcher wanting to find out what o바카라사이트r people are researching right now or are going to do in 바카라사이트 next six months or two years, I have no idea.

¡°This creates a lot of unnecessary repetition of work and loss of potential collaboration.¡±

Dr Mounce said that journals such as Research Ideas and Outcomes?could help to reduce duplication and open up new partnerships. But reaction to 바카라사이트 idea on social media was mixed, with fears raised that ideas could be copied if disseminated early.

¡°We can¡¯t even get it to happen within our department; people are concerned that o바카라사이트rs will ¡®steal¡¯ 바카라사이트ir idea,¡± , a lecturer in health at Deakin University in Australia.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라, Dr Mounce argued that open publication at every stage of 바카라사이트 research process could help to reduce plagiarism.

¡°By publishing your ideas, you are securing your ownership of that idea and it prevents plagiarism,¡± he said. ¡°At 바카라사이트 moment, we have a system where everyone secretly submits research proposals and 바카라사이트y don¡¯t know if someone has copied [바카라사이트m].

¡°Academics sit on panels for proposals, and if 바카라사이트y read something and say ¡®that¡¯s interesting, that¡¯s a good idea¡¯, 바카라사이트y can get it rejected and put 바카라사이트 idea in 바카라사이트ir [own] proposals and go to a different funder and get funding.¡±

Dr Mounce added that academics should not be fearful of sharing work at an early stage, when it might not be as polished as a journal article. Such openness could allow for errors to be spotted and ideas improved early on, he said.?
