If we say ‘data’ we also automatically say ‘metrics and analytics’. New analytics tools have surged innovative new applications using the increasing abundance of data. In sports the use of new metrics and analytics creates a whole new area of science, as shown by baseball historian and researcher professor David W. Smith (who is also professor of Biological Sciences). In the area of STM publishing, analysis of publication data helps visualize the mapping of science. Pioneer Kevin Boyack of Scitech Strategies shows several real life examples. |

Searching for Data and Finding New Science Anita de Waard, Elsevier, Vice-President Research Data Collaborations
Increasingly the research article becomes computable, adding research data, algorithms and smart searching. How intelligent will the article become; Can it find you so you no longer need to search for it? Can it test assertions? Generate new hypotheses? Can articles generate new articles without human interference? Will human analysis be eliminated and, if so, up to what point….where are the new opportunities for publishers. Come and listen to two experts in data mining and actionable articles, both well known from FORCE11. |
