Vote for the 1K Challenge! | FORCE11

"At the recent Beyond the PDF2 conference, attendees (both physical and virtual) were invited to submit their idea for the '1K Challenge': What would you do with 1K that would significantly advance scholarly communication that does not involve building a new software tool? Congratulations on our 1K Challenge winners!  We are pleased to award 4 1K Challenge Awards to advance the mission of FORCE11, thanks to generous support by the Moore Foundation.  Thanks for everyone's participation!  The winners are:   1)  The Amsterdam Manifesto on Data Citation Principles (Mercè Crosas, Todd Carpenter, Christine Borgman and David Shotton)  to provide the manpower and resources to set up and manage a web site on which to post the new Amsterdam Manifesto for Data Citation ... 2)  Starting at Ground Zero (Melissa Haendel) ... would reward in 50$ disbursements 15 graduate students/post docs for attending two sessions in the library. The first session would include a 1 hour summary of the beyond the pdf2, highlighting aspects of the data-research cycle in which there are issues surrounding research reproducibility and scholarly communication of findings. Extra money here would go towards distribution of key materials and food/coffee and any extra would be spent on more participants. The second session would be a 1hr hands on session with Library staff, where the participants would be asked to bring a yet-to-be published data set and/or publication. During this session, we would do the following: (1) Determine which aspects of the data require standardized metadata for sufficient reporting and reproducibility, e.g. perform data review; (2) Determine if there is a public repository would the data be relevant and develop workflow to deposit it there; (3) Teach information management strategies ...  3)  Open Scholar Foundation (Tobias Kuhn)  I would set up a simple 'Open Scholar Foundation' with a website, where researchers can submit proofs that they are 'open scholars' by showing that they make their papers, data, metadata, protocols, source code, lab notes, etc. openly available. These requests are briefly reviewed, and if approved, the applicant officially becomes an 'Open Scholar' and is entitled to show a banner 'Certified Open Scholar 2013' on his/her website, presentation slides ... 4)  Academic authoring/workflows  (Stian Håklev) ... Hackfest to create tools/workflows/documentation on using Scholarly Markdown+Git for academic authoring/collaboration ..."
