We're facing a new era in scholarly communication: eager postdocs, well-funded PIs, ambitious entrepreneurs, and curious kids with computers are trying to build here-to-fore impossible systems on top of the research literature. How will this change the skyline of research? What works now to support these structures, what challenges exist, and what infrastructure is still needed? Dr Heather Piwowar will share the dreams, blueprints, and experiences of developers working to build skyscrapers with our scholarship. - See more at: http://www.crossref.org/annualmeeting/agenda.html#sthash.K3DSPG1s.dpuf
