JISC launches Research 3.0 campaign

JISC in the UK is launching a year-long campaign called ‘Research 3.0 – driving the knowledge economy’. The aim is to debate how digital technologies are changing not only what research we do, but how it can be carried out.

The campaign's website features a video, ‘How digital technologies are creating a new paradigm in research’, which sets the agenda for the coming year and introduces the key issues such as how to share data, why collaborate and how to publish research work online.

In addition, JISC’s new Open Science report written by UKOLN at the University of Bath and the Digital Curation Centre, is stimulating discussion about the impact of open-ness (making methodologies, data and results available on the Internet, through transparent working practices), data driven science and citizen involvement on tomorrow’s research practice.

People can contribute their thoughts and ideas about both of these at the JISC Research 3.0 blog.
