We will talk about...
What is Science 2.0?
Tools of Science 2.0 / Chemistry 2.0
Science 2.0: great new tool or great risk?
Exemples

“Science without communication is like toast without
vegemite”
Alan Graham MacDiarmid
(Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2000)
Emanuela Casson
There can be no science without communication
The communication is the heart of science and the
most powerful tool for correcting mistakes, building
on colleagues' work and creating new knowledge

There can be advancement in the sum of human
knowledge if no one knows about the work

Greater accessibility to the data enhances the
ability to do science.

Emanuela Casson
What is Science 2.0? (1)
“Science 2.0 generally refers to new practices of
scientists who post raw experimental results, nascent
theories, claims of discovery and draft papers on the
Web for others to see and comment on”
M. Mitchell Waldrop , Science 2.0 : Is open access science the future?
Emanuela Casson
What is Science 2.0? (2)
Science 2.0 takes its cue from the technologies of
Web 2.0.
Wikis, RSS, blogs, podcasts and such instruments
make information available in ways that create a
conversation between researchers, lets them
discuss the data and connect it with other data that
might be relevant.
Conversation creates knowledge
Emanuela Casson
Tools of Science 2.0
Chemistry Social Networking (1)
Methods of sharing your science online include:
ResearchGate <http://www.researchgate.net/> or your own blog
for first hypothesis/doubts

Scribd
<http://www.scribd.com/explore/Research/Science>,
DocStoc
<http://www.docstoc.com/>,
Esnips
<http://www.esnips.com/category.php?cat=13> for document/data


Slideshare <www.slideshare.net/>for presentations (ppt)
Remote collaboration of high-number of scientists (Open
Notebook
Science),
es.
UsefulChem
Project
<http://usefulchem.wikispaces.com/>

Emanuela Casson
Chemistry Social Networking (2)
Methods of sharing science online include:
Current Controlled trials <http://www.controlled-trials.com/> for
definition of research protocols

Google Scholar <http://scholar.google.it/>, Microsoft Academic
Scholar <http://academic.research.microsoft.com/> for papers

 ChemSpider <www.chemspider.com/> database for molecular
formula with crowdsourcing approach
 FigShare <http://figshare.com> for data and figures
 Zotero <www.zotero.org/>, Mendeley <www.mendeley.com/> are
reference management softwares, but also... Refworks ;-)
Emanuela Casson
Citations and evaluations

Google Scholar Citations <http://scholar.google.com/citations>
“provides a simple way for authors to keep track of citations to their
articles. You can check who is citing your publications, graph
citations over time, and compute several citation metrics. You can
also make your profile public, so that it may appear in Google
Scholar results when people search for your name”

Alt-Metrics <http://altmetrics.org/manifesto/>
“altmetrics is the creation and study of new metrics based on the
Social Web for analyzing, and informing scholarship”
Emanuela Casson
Science 2.0: Great New Tool or Great Risk? (1)
 Proponents say these “open access” practices
make scientific progress more collaborative and
therefore more productive.
 Critics say scientists who put preliminary findings
online risk having others copy or exploit the work to
gain credit or even patents.
Despite pros and cons, Science 2.0 sites are
beginning to proliferate.
Emanuela Casson
Science 2.0: Great New Tool or Great Risk? (2)
Science 2.0 has the potential to:

speed up the process of scientific discovery
overcome problems associated with academic
publishing and peer review

remove time and cost barriers limiting the process
of generating new knowledge



"Science happens not just because of people
doing
experiments,
but
because
they're
discussing those experiments"
Christopher Surridge, editor of PLoS ONE
Plos: peer review, open access, IF and… “Communitybased dialogue on articles”
A good example of Science 2.0
