Speaker
Description
How can publishers, funders, researchers, administrators, and other stakeholders co-operate to make storage and sharing of laboratory notebooks more efficient?
Research notebooks (laboratory and other notebooks) are important to many stakeholders who interact to use and share scientific outputs. Despite concerted efforts to address concerns in this space, support is fragmented and there is room for improved efficiency to foster open data sharing. Using a hands-on approach, we will explore current support offerings and concerns from different stakeholder perspectives and consider practical steps to improve the environment.
During the workshop, participants will be guided to: identify the stakeholders with an interest in research notebooks; identify workflows and points of communication between stakeholders and then identify the pain-points in these workflows. Participants will then highlight the most significant concerns, identify which might be within the control of stakeholders to control and suggest practical solutions to improve these concerns.
