Thank you to those who participated in the open peer review of the OA APC dataset and its documentation. The final version of the documentation is posted here: https://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/2019/11/20/oa-main-2019-dataset-documentation-and-open-peer-review-invitation/
If you are more interested in a summary of results to date, as a reminder this can be found here: https://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/2019/11/27/oa-apc-longitudinal-survey-2019/ One of the comments from Heather Staines has inspired a discussion on open peer review per se. In brief, some initiatives are forging ahead with technologies to support open peer review such as the Knowledge Futures Commonspace. I applaud and support these early experiments, but also suggest it is early days and it is timely to begin a discussion about what we might want the new technologies available to us to achieve. For example, the potential of online annotation is exciting, but a technology that directs our attention to annotation strikes me as likely to focus our attention on wordsmithing and minor issues and away from more substantive issues such as critique of underlying assumptions. I invite anyone interested to read the discussion between the two of us (so far), at https://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/2020/01/08/open-peer-review-discussion/ and contribute your own perspective, whether on the blog or on the list. best, Dr. Heather Morrison Associate Professor, School of Information Studies, University of Ottawa Professeur Agrégé, École des Sciences de l'Information, Université d'Ottawa Principal Investigator, Sustaining the Knowledge Commons, a SSHRC Insight Project sustainingknowledgecommons.org heather.morri...@uottawa.ca https://uniweb.uottawa.ca/?lang=en#/members/706 [On research sabbatical July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020]
