The International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI) has announced that it is organising a one-day workshop titled Interactive Publications and the Record of Science. Open to both members and non-members, the workshop will be held at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, on February 8, 2010.
The Web is by nature an interactive environment. Yet online journals are mostly still consistent with their traditional role as a never-changing scholarly record. However, this traditional role is increasingly challenged as browser technologies leap forward, dynamic visualisation and presentation tools proliferate, and primary data are linked to research articles. Publishers, publishing service providers, librarians, editors and authors will participate in this one-day workshop, organised by ICSTI, to survey the most exciting and challenging of the new developments. Also, they will seek to identify the necessary infrastructure for including interactive content within the record of science.
Speakers include representatives from the Nature Publishing Group, National Library of Medicine, Royal Society of Chemistry, International Union of Crystallography, OECD, Concept Web Alliance, SciVee, British Library, CrossRef and Cell Press. Registration will open October 23, 2009.
