1:00 – 3:00 pm Open Discussions: What Does the Caltech Community Want in the Scientific Paper of the Future? In this session participants will discuss their visions for a more open, transparent and reusable scientific communication. Discussions will start in two self-organized breakouts: experimentalists and theoreticians/modelers. Our conversations will be led by the morning speakers, using the following two framing questions: – What opportunities do not exist today that could exist with open publishing platforms? – What factors would accelerate change? Perspectives from the day will be shared with the Faculty Library Committee and will be used by the Caltech LIbrary to inform its future planning to support 21st century publishing."
