The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), UK, has announced the launch of a year long campaign called ‘Research 3.0 – driving the knowledge economy’, to debate how digital technologies are changing not only what research we do, but how it can be carried out.
According to JISC, the UK can maintain its worldwide reputation for quality research, only if researchers take advantage of the digital revolution. As the key provider of digital infrastructure for UK higher education and research, JISC is seeking answers to the question ‘How will research be in future?’ during the Research 3.0 campaign.
A new video, ‘How digital technologies are creating a new paradigm in research’, sets the agenda for the coming year and introduces key issues such as how to share data, why collaborate and how to publish research work online. To support this video, THE (Times Higher Education) has published a ’Data Revolution’ supplement highlighting how JISC is supporting universities and the Research Councils to advance in the ever-changing technology landscape.
Earlier this month, JISC released a report as part of its ‘Research 3.0 – driving the knowledge economy’ activity. The new ‘Open Science’ report trails key research trends that could purportedly have far-reaching implications for science, universities and the UK society. Written by UKOLN at the University of Bath and the Digital Curation Centre, the report identifies open-ness, predictive science based on massive data volumes and citizen involvement as being important features of tomorrow’s research practice. It is hoped that this document will stimulate and contribute to community discussion in the UK, which is ranked second in the world for its output of quality research. It is also expected to fuel the open science debate on the global stage.
