2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications Generation Digital – All published digital • Steven Hall, 2014.9.11 • IOPP 9 journals e-only/all books e-first • 5-10 years: 90% journals e-only TIB, 2013 – Non-textual materials digital • NTM is original, basic and authoritative • Print-based communication is a mistake • out of historical practicality? – Evolving scholarly record ORBIS, Stanford University • Knowledge is inherently multi-media • and service platforms • Only e-journals are real journals • Only smart books are real books • R & D & L are digital business

2 Challenge: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • Generation Open – OA Journals: 10488, DOAJ, 2015.04 – OA papers: 72 millions, BASE, 2015.04 – OA papers % – 2013 Gold OA: 14.4%--18.8%, D. Lewis, 2013 – 2004-2011(2013): 45-50%, Science Metrix, 2013 – Transit: Nature Communications: Oct 20, 2014 – New ways of OA: – Offsetting for Gold OA: JISC, VSNU, FWF, … – Transformation to OA: SCOAP3, MPG, … – Time to reach 90% OA papers • 2019 to 2025, Science Metrix, 2013.08 • Funders’ push US OSTP Directive for Open Access CAS 、 NSFC: 开放获取政策 • G8 Open Data Charter Open Data 、 OER/OCW 、 OSS 、 …… •

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • Generation Analytics • New Normal of Research – Interdisciplinary, Translational – Collaborative, Strategic – Open science & Open innovation • New Normal of information needs D. Mayer. 2011 – Research informatics • Structures, trends, emerging topics • Overlaps, gaps, conflicts, turning points, abnormality • R&D paths, roadmaps, possibilities, – Computer-assisted k-production • CAD in research and policy study • New Normal of Learning – Research-based – Solution-driven Leslie Johnston, 2013 – Community-Interactive

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • The Changing Universe: e-science

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • The Changing Universe: publishing trends

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • The Changing Universe: the new normal of info consumption

2 Challenges: Convergence of New Generations of Scholarly Communications • The Changing Universe: Where is the library? We already out-sourced the “core business” –collections! We only hold on to a diminishing part of scholarly knowledge! We are losing the reason/right to maintain a traditional library? 2014-11-20 17

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Where is the Library: embedded in R&D processes Environ Scanning Evaluation Trends & path analysis Preservation An R&D Reuse Idea & design repurpose workflow testing is an C ommunication information d-workflow Distribution workflow organizing Data Digital Analysis R&D Data Management

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Who needs what? In terms of research Governors Presidents Trend-detecting Deans Road-mapping Directors Discover Explore Primary Design Investigators Search Lab scientists Retrieve Graduate students Strategic , Problem- Literature- Interdisciplinary & based driven Translational Research Research Research

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Who needs what? Development Sensing R&D Technologiy support scanning Regional R&D & R&D Institutes industrial Competition Competence Analysis Discovery R&D Path Exploration To support societal innovation and development

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Who needs what: to support R&D think-tanks CAS: As a first-grade Scientific and development think-tank Trends analysis and breakthrough & disruption detection R&D solutions to important needs and challenges of development Decision & policy making advises and recommendations

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Informational productivity • help people use information more intelligently and effectively so they will enhance their productivity in their work – R&D win by analytics • From data to information to intelligence to solutions – Knowledge analytics is the competitive edge of R&D • Informatics on R&D • Informatics supporting decision & policy making

3 Strategic Opportunities • Repurpose the library – Development, organization, discovery, utilization, and curation of data & other non-textual research materials – Promotion, development, and safeguarding of new scholarly communication ecosystems – Literacy services on research and innovation in a digital, analytic, and knowledge-drive environment – Support of open innovation – ……

3 Strategic Opportunities • Knowledge-driven Service 2.0 Help organizations and users win on analytics  From data to info to intelligence to solution  Strategic and Computational information analysis  Support R&D decision-making and think-tank efforts  Integrated and customized digital infrastructure  Support interactive knowledge discovery Decision & Structures policy analysis & Patterns Trends analysis analysis and alerts and Customized K- evaluation organization Scholarly Resources 中国科学院 张晓林 2014-11-20 26
