New Webcast: Open Science and Scientific Publishing
Recorded at MIT on November 13, 2007. Runs 76 minutes.

Speakers:
Hal Abelson: Class of 1922 Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, MIT School of Engineering

John Wilbanks: Vice President, Science Commons

Anna Gold: Associate Dean for Public Services, Robert E. Kennedy Library, California Polytechnic State University

Summary:

Scientists and educational institutions in a digital age must push back forcefully against the old paradigms for scholarly communications, or risk imperiling the course of scientific research. These speakers describe how traditional modes of publication have constricted public sharing of ideas on which scientific progress is based, and propose approaches more appropriate for a web-based world.
