Interactive Publications and the Record of Science
ICSTI Winter Workshop
Université Pierre et Marie Curie,
4 place Jussieu 75005 Paris, France
Monday, February 8, 2010
The Web is by nature an interactive environment, yet online journals are mostly static, befitting their traditional role as a never-changing scholarly record. However, this traditional role is increasingly challenged as browser technologies leap forward, dynamic visualization and presentation tools proliferate, and primary data are linked to research articles. In an important and timely workshop, publishers, publishing service providers, librarians, editors and authors meet for a one-day workshop under the auspices of ICSTI to survey the most exciting and challenging of the new developments, and to begin to identify the necessary infrastructure for including interactive content within the record of science.
