Open Access and Scientific Research: Are Digital Repositories A Solution?
Monday, April 23, 4:00 pm
Virginia Dale Room/University Club
Lory Student Center, CSU Campus
Presented by Dr. Peter Murray-Rust
Unilever Centre for Molecular Science Informatics, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge, UK
Digital repository tools are now being widely promoted for the capture and preservation of primary academic research output, in fact, many institutions and funding agencies are starting to mandate such processes. Such repositories enable faculty, students, and researchers to deposit their research into an openly accessible digital environment. In principle, digital repository efforts can be extended to the data on which scientific research rests and have the potential of generating a huge resource for data-driven practice. When data are properly reposited enormous new opportunities in data-driven science arise. Dr. Murray-Rust will report and demonstrate some of the exciting new developments in this dynamic and rapidly evolving arena.
