“The Joint Infor­ma­tion Sys­tems Com­mit­tee (JISC), UK, has released a report as part of its ‘Research 3.0 – dri­ving the knowl­edge econ­omy’ activ­ity, which launches at the end of Novem­ber. The new ‘Open Sci­ence’ report trails key research trends that could pur­port­edly have far-reaching impli­ca­tions for sci­ence, uni­ver­si­ties and the UK society.”

“The report looks at how tech­nolo­gies can sup­port the open move­ment to share data, work­flows, meth­ods and research out­puts. It also illus­trates the vital role librar­i­ans could have in sup­port­ing these new trends and the recog­nised need to build rela­tion­ships between researchers and librar­i­ans to sup­port the research of the future.”
