What an amazing BioMISS season this has been! From learning about the Genomic Epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, to Making Medication Information
Computable and Interoperable, the opportunities to gain knowledge of salient topics in biomedical informatics were virtually endless. Rest assured, the season finale is still guaranteed to impart new vigor to the mind.
You are invited to join us on Thursday, December 2nd from 10 to 11 AM, for a virtual seminar by Melissa Rethlefsen, MSLS – Executive Director of the UNM Health Sciences Library & Informatics Center.
Topic: Changes in Scholarly Communication to Improve Rigor, Reproducibility, and Transparency
Background: Experiments in peer review and publication models are rapidly changing the expectations for scientific articles. From required data and code sharing to portable peer review to required preprint sharing, innovations in scholarly communications will influence how research will be shared, read, assessed, and judged. What will it mean to “publish” in the future?
Learning Objectives – By completion of this seminar, participants should be able to:
1. Understand the changes in the preprint ecosphere and its influence on journals’ publication models
2. Identify innovative projects and programs in peer review and publication
3. Identify changes in scholarly communication designed to improve transparency and reproducibility
