A Self-Organizing and Collective-Intelligence Approach
to the Peer-Review Publication Process

Place: room 3C204 (building C, 3rd floor),
<http://www.vub.ac.be/english/campEt.html>VUB campus Oefenplein
Time: Friday, Feb. 4, at 17:30 h.


Abstract:
The peer-review process is the foundation by which the scientific
community publishes its research findings.  With advancements in the
communication medium brought on by the Internet, some journals have
been able to reduce their costs by providing electronic publications.
This work is an attempt to further the advancement of electronic
publishing by providing the scientific community with a software
system that is able to collect, review, and ultimately disseminate
articles without the involvement of a 3rd party entity.  Such a
system relies heavily on the social networks created by the
scientific community as a mediating factor to steer the dissemination
of pre-prints for review, the selection of reviewers to evaluate the
paper's quality, and the spread of publications after acceptance.
The promise is to further reduce the cost of publications in order to
meet the desires of the OAI (Open Access Initiaive).
(This work is an advancement to candidacy talk and will discuss some
preliminary insights into how this research will be carried out.)




Preliminary ECCO seminar programme

Francis Heylighen: The role of mediators in the self-organization of
biological, social and cognitive systems
