Minisymposium "Beyond the scientific paper", 26 October 2011, TU/e
The minisymposium is part of the TU/e Open Access Week 2011 program. It will bring new ways of scholarly publishing to the attention of TU/e researchers. Various issues surrounding enhanced (or executable or adaptive) publications will be discussed.
Enhanced publications are becoming ever more popular in many fields of science and technology. Enhanced publications are publications – usually textual – that have been enhanced with additional (supplementary) material. The supplementary material may consist, for example, of research data, illustrative images or video, metadata sets, or post-publication data such as comments or rankings. Adding underlying data and models to a paper makes it easier to verify and reproduce, and to re-use results of research while the option of changing post-publication data allows an enhanced publication to develop over the course of time.
Program
* Jeroen Sondervan, publisher Humanities and Online Projects at Amsterdam University Press;

* Sjoerd Miesen, TU/e, repository manager at Information Expertise Centre / Library
Together the four speakers will present an overview of new and exciting ways of academic publishing. The presentations will be followed by a discussion.
After the minisymposium, a simple lunch will be served.
