Open Access Week, now entering its fifth year, is just around the corner. It is a global event which promotes the benefits of open access publishing via free, immediate and online access of scholarly research (#OAW2011).
I will be celebrating the week by speaking at MIT on 10/26. I will discuss how scholarly communications has changed in recent years and the need for article level metrics to help identify what we don’t know, we don’t know.
My presentation, The Scholarly Communication Collider, will also explore how bringing together the right content, in the right place at the right time, helps create scholarly research.
Members of the MIT community are welcome to attend, Wednesday, October 26 from 11:30-12:30 in 3-270.

Kirby Ferguson is a quirky New York-based filmmaker with an interesting idea. He wanted to show copying was often part of the creative process by providing popular examples of remixed content. The research and examples from different types of media have been aggregated into an extremely well done, short video series titled Everything Is a Remix. Since I’ve blogged about plagiarism and Open Access in the past, a few people recommended the series to me and it got me thinking about scholarly research in a new and different way.
In the first of the (very soon to be) four videos, he jumps in with recognizable audio examples from Led Zeppelin in the 60′s to Sugar Hill in the 70′s. Sugar Hill’s early example of “sampling” a base line from Chic’s “Goodtimes” has been remixed dozens of times since then. Kirby suggests that remix techniques (collecting material, combining, transforming, and distributing) are the same ones used in any other creative process. In effect, he argues, everything is a remix.
This was an eye opening perspective for me.
I immediately drew several correlations between Kirby’s premise and what I have been seeing and speaking about over the last few years. The SSRN eLibrary provides simple, easy, Open Access to scholarly research in a way that wasn’t previously possible. And, this new level of access allows researchers to remix different perspectives from different disciplines into new innovative research.
My simple definition of innovation is
the ability to create new things by being exposed to broader and deeper set of existing things.
One of the core ideas behind SSRN is that scholarly research relies on previous research to identify new problems, develop solutions to problems, or empirically test those solutions. We created CiteReader and continue to update it so that readers can easily go backwards and forwards through the scholarly literature. We provide tomorrow’s research today so that it can be used to create new, innovative research faster.
Larry Lessig, Director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics, Harvard Law School Professor and former SSRN Editor, discusses remix from another perspective in his TED talk about copyright laws choking creativity and finding a balance. His concern is limiting creativity and innovation by constraining how content can be used.
The question of whether remixing content is part of the creative process or stealing someone else’s work is a very interesting topic that we will continue to explore in the future, but I think Carl Sagan probably summed it up best:
If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
I’m flying to Berlin, Germany this weekend for the third international PKP Scholarly Publishing Conference (#pkp2011) and looking forward to presenting on SSRN’s Open Access approach and the benefits of article level metrics. The PKP conference attendees are a broad group of publishers and others interested in Open Source software, new publishing models and providing greater access to scholarly research.
PKP developed the Open Journal Systems (OJS), an Open Source journal management and publishing system, to expand and improve access to research. There are over 7500 journals using OJS.
If you are attending the conference or want to meet in Berlin to talk about SSRN or scholarly research in general send me a message.

Announcing New ERN Subject Matter eJournal Abstracts & Papers on SSRN
In cooperation with the American Economic Association, the Economics Research Network (ERN) is pleased to announce Ten Years & Beyond: Economists Answer NSF’s Call for Long-Term Research Agendas eJournal papers in the SSRN eLibrary.
TEN YEARS & BEYOND: ECONOMISTS ANSWER NSF’S CALL FOR LONG-TERM RESEARCH AGENDAS eJOURNAL
View Papers: http://www.ssrn.com/link/Ten-Years-Beyond.html
Description: We would like to acknowledge and thank the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (NSF/SBE) for challenging economists and other relevant research communities “to step outside of present demands and to think boldly about future promises.” Specifically, NSF/SBE invited groups and individuals in August 2010 to write white papers that describe grand challenge questions in their sciences that transcend near-term funding cycles and are “likely to drive next generation research in the social, behavioral, and economic sciences.” NSF/SBE planned to use these white papers “to frame innovative research for the year 2020 and beyond that enhances fundamental knowledge and benefits society in many ways. This request is part of a process that will help NSF/SBE make plans to support future research.” At the conclusion of the submission period on October 15, 2010, NSF/SBE had received 252 papers. A compendium of abstracts to the 252 white papers and most of the full texts of the white papers can be downloaded from the website http://www.nsf.gov/sbe/sbe_2020/. We are disseminating the white papers of interest to economists independent of the NSF because these papers offer a number of exciting and at times provocative ideas about future research agendas in economics that are worth further consideration by economists. These papers could also generate other compelling ideas for infrastructure projects, new methodologies and important research topics. Also some of these papers are not available at the NSF website because they were not submitted successfully by the deadline. We have placed 54 of the white papers on our website http://www.aeaweb.org/econwhitepapers/ and have assembled these white papers in this electronic publication.
We are pleased to announce Duquesne University School of Law has started a Law School Research Papers – Legal Studies series, within the Legal Scholarship Network (LSN).

The School of Public Policy is the flagship school of public policy in Canada. Under the leadership of noted economist Dr. Jack Mintz, the School takes a practical, global and focused approach to policy research and education across three focus areas: Economic & Social Policy, Energy & Environmental Policy, and International Policy. All research combines detailed empirical analysis with firm policy recommendations.
In 2011, the School launched its Master of Public Policy program. Instruction from leading policy experts and a course framework unlike any other in Canada has helped attract top students from across Canada, the United States and the world.
In cooperation with the American Accounting Association (AAA), the Accounting Research Network (ARN) is pleased to announce the 2011 AAA Annual Meeting – Tax Concurrent Sessions papers in the SSRN eLibrary.
