"OSF is an open collaboration of scientists to increase the alignment between scientific values and scientific practices. Efforts include development of tools and infrastructure, and conducting research about scientific practices. Infrastructure and tool projects include tools to improve and document scientific workflow and defining Replication Value of existing findings. Research projects include the Reproducibility Project evaluating the replicability of published psychological science, and a survey of opinions about disclosure standards in scientific reportin"
"The Open Science Summit unites researchers, life science industry professionals, students, patients and other stakeholders to discuss the future of collaborative science and innovation."
"CKAN is the Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network, a registry of open knowledge packages and projects (and a few closed ones).
CKAN makes it easy to find, share and reuse open content and data, especially in ways that are machine automatable."
"Scientific publishing as it stands is an inefficient way to do science on a global scale. A lot of time and money is being wasted by groups around the world duplicating research that has already been carried out. FigShare allows you to share all of your data, negative results and unpublished figures. In doing this, other researchers will not duplicate the work, but instead may publish with your previously wasted figures, or offer collaboration opportunities and feedback on preprint figures."
Dryad is an international repository of data underlying peer-reviewed articles in the basic and applied biosciences. Dryad enables scientists to validate published findings, explore new analysis methodologies, repurpose data for research questions unanticipated by the original authors, and perform synthetic studies. Dryad is governed by a consortium of journals that collaboratively promote data archiving and ensure the sustainability of the repository.

Open Access and the divide between "mainstream" and "peripheral" science

emergentTM (a major rewrite of PDP++) is a comprehensive simulation environment for creating complex, sophisticated models of the brain and cognitive processes using neural network models. These same networks can also be used for all kinds of other more pragmatic tasks, like predicting the stock market or analyzing data.
VisTrails is an open-source scientific workflow and provenance management system developed at the University of Utah that provides support for data exploration and visualization.
The CellScope project focuses on the development of a modular, high-magnification microscope attachment for cell phones. Due to its portability, affordability and functionality, the CellScope will enable health workers in remote areas to take high-resolution images of a patient's blood cells using the mobile phone's camera, and then transmit the photos to experts at medical centers.
What happens if we make scholarly publication into a collective enterprise?
-
Obviously we have the technical capacity to collaborate and publish online with either open access or a pay model from micropayments to freemium and so on. Most of the costs associated with online scholarly publication are labor, and social networking, properly handled, can reduce the management costs. So let's say you had 15-20 active scholars, who saw their work as inter-related. Together, they might publish 15 articles and a couple books each year. The group works as an editorial collective. Honestly you might get more feedback with this model than you get on articles you publish now.
