3rd Place – Why are we so Attached to Attachments?  Let's Ditch them and Improve Publishing, Kaveh Bazargan, River Valley Technologies

The FORCE2015 Vision & Great Ideas session, inspired by Robin Williams’ remark, "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world,” gave attendees a chance to bring up an idea that might help change the future of scholarly communication. Anita Bandrowski, Theodora Bloom, and Daniel S. Katz organized the submission and acceptance process, and ran the session. Three speakers were awarded prizes based on audience feedback immediately after the presentations. The first prize went to Javier Guillot and the OndaPolitica team who presented their ideas on how to bridge the gap between researchers and practitioners in the field of public policy, pointing out that existing digital tools and workshops can be combined to reach wider audiences more effectively. Second prize was awarded to Rebecca Lawrence discussing how the elements in publications can be made more interactive and dynamic. Third prize was given to Kaveh Bazargan proposing how a paper can be created in a single electronic format that allows the authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers all to have different views of the same underlying document, removing layers of unnecessary work for everyone. The other topics discussed included: how machine-readable connections between actors, processes, and elements of the scholarly web could be enabled (Herbert van de Sompel), how research objects that are not just papers can be published (Scott Edmunds), how recent infrastructure has allowed us to make progress on helping researchers get credit for all their work (Euan Adie), how journals can involve researchers in deciding what happens to the value they generate (Dan Morgan), and how the research process can be captured so that all of it is available, not just the final outputs (Chris Chapman).
