All of the knowledge for all of the machines

By processing and analysing vast amounts of scholarly work, AI will enable breakthroughs in research, innovation, and problem-solving across numerous disciplines. But what can be legally accessed and what can be trusted?

Who benefits when, from FAIR data? Part 1 – Researchers

We are optimistic of a future state world, where a group of researchers generates new information based on new hypotheses, for others to then pull together the combined world’s knowledge to look for new patterns and discoveries that the original authors had not thought to look for.

Academic data publishing is the biggest ROI in research today

Data publishing is the biggest ROI in research today. It is truly an agent of change and I for one am excited that we have made it this far. Now funders have mandated data publishing writ large, I am also excited for the road ahead.

Halfway to happiness — what the OSTP update means in the grand scheme

Academic Data Curation: Who checks? Who Pays? How Much?

The research publishing system works. We get new drugs and new breakthrough discoveries every year. The goal of FAIR research data is to optimise this.
