[GOAL] BLOG: Taking a Principled stance - the Scholarly Commons

[Heather Morrison]

hi Danny,

The idea of  "an attempt to define what the community considers the attributes and behaviours of a person who is fully participating in research" can be interpreted as signalling a movement towards negative branding or deprecation of anyone the community considers less than pure according to community standards, as does this discussion point" "An agreement as to inclusion implies a concomitant agreement to exclude".

Is it one of the purposes of the group to attack or deprecate a "person" whose "attributes and behaviours" are not what this group considers to be "fully participating in research"? Perhaps I am misunderstanding - please advise.

best,

I have just returned from a two day workshop looking at the 'Scholarly Commons'. Never heard of it? You might want to read on...

"Taking a Principled stance - the Scholarly Commons" https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=919 is a blog about the FORCE11 event, now published in Unlocking Research.

Taster:
********************
It only rains about 10 days a year in San Diego. And Tuesday was one of them. In a rooftop room on campus in San Diego at UCSD, a group had gathered for the FORCE11 Scholarly Commons workshop<https://www.force11.org/group/scholarly-commons-working-group/san-diego-workshop-sept-2016>. The workshop brought together members of the Scholarly Commons working group<https://www.force11.org/group/scholarly-commons-working-group>, who hail from around the world and come from the broad scholarly commons. The Scholarly Commons is an idea to help define the future of research communication. The goal is to promote the best research and scholarship possible through rapid and wide dissemination to all who need or want it.

We were meeting to discuss the draft of 18 Principles of the Commons<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p7RoG_ja-8Gx-7YODw8iHWFsKn5YAVeHv0UYRyzWmL4/edit> – an attempt to define what the community considers the attributes and behaviours of a person who is fully participating in research. The Principles are broadly separated into four major themes of being Open, Equitable, Sustainable and Research & Culture Driven.
