#scidata16: Open data should be easy

On the morning of October 26, 2016, a group of scientists convened in London to discuss the state of open data. The third Publishing Better Science through Better Data conference kicked off with morning tea, international introductions, and furious scribing from @roystoncartoons. The premise was simple: “Today is all about being open”, said conference chair Iain Hrynaszkiewicz. We settled in to learn the advantages of data sharing at both the individual level and for the scientific community at large.  Read more

A day in the life of a Scientific Reports assistant production editor

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: #ScientistOnTheMove, Admin, Ask the expert, Blog, Career paths, Careers articles, Communication, Data, Perspectives, Publishing, Report, Research, Technology

A day in the life of a Scientific Reports assistant production editor

I’ve worked as an assistant production editor for Scientific Reports for almost a year now, and one thing I should mention is that Scientific Reports is an unusual journal. We’re completely open access (which means anyone can access and re-use the research we publish), and we publish loads of research in a rapid timeframe. Ensuring papers are published within the shortest possible time following acceptance is the key driver and focus of the work I complete on a daily basis in the production team.  Read more
