| *Jasonk 09:26, 6 October 2006 (EDT): Along the lines of adopt-a-protocol, it might be great to have adopt a topic area as well. Basically, trying to solve the problem of review articles always being out of date. It seems like the job of writing reviews would be much simpler if it was done on the fly as new papers came out. THat way when a new paper came accross your desk in the area you review you could read it, and then add the relevant details and the reference to the OWW Review page. This is in contrast to coming back to that same paper a year later when you're asked to write a review and having to re-read it, re-analyze it, etc. Seems like a win-win for the both the review-writer (less work) and the readers (who get a more up-to-date source.)
| | OpenWetWare Reviews is an experiment in providing always up-to-date scientific reviews. When a new publication comes out it can be easily incorporated into the review by OWW editors. This should be a win-win for both the review-writer (less work) and the readers (who get a more up-to-date resource). We'll be trying reviews with a 'curator' (as discussed for [[Consensus protocol|consensus protocols]]) as well as ones without. |
| *'''[[User:Jasonk|Jasonk]] 09:43, 26 February 2007 (EST):''' I think it might be worth trying this out with the 'curator' approach we discussed for [[Consensus protocol|Consensus protocols]].

| *'''[[User:Jasonk|Jasonk]] 11:23, 6 March 2007 (EST)''': Anyone have any suggestions for good reviews? | | *[[Reviews:FAQ]] |
| **[[OpenWetWare:Reviews/Synthetic biology]] -- [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?tool=pmcentrez&artid=1681505 review by Weiss et al in Molecular Systems Biology] which is free to view, but at the moment not approved for derivative works. [http://pbeltrao.blogspot.com/ Pedro Beltrao] is checking if we can do something about that.

| * [[User:pedrobeltrao|pedrobeltrao]] 8 March 2007: Sorry, it looks like for copyright issues it will not be possible to use MSB content for this. | | *[[Reviews:About]] |
| ** '''[[User:Jasonk|Jasonk]] 17:10, 8 March 2007 (EST):''' Wow, not really "open access" I guess. That's pretty disappointing. However, I think the authors hold the copyright when they publish with MSB (see here where they describe their [http://www.nature.com/msb/about/oa.html not-so-open access policy ]), so if we can get Weiss et al to re-release it under a CC license with derivative works allowed then we're good to go, correct?

| *'''[[User:Jasonk|Jasonk]] 11:37, 6 March 2007 (EST):''' Anyone interested in being a curator for a review in their field of expertise? I can't promise you scientific rewards yet, but I suspect this will become an accepted form of merit down the line ;)

| * Is there an easy way to search only OA journals?
| |
| ** Looks like best bet would be to search known OA journals such as [http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/ BMC] or [http://Plos.org PLoS].
| |
| **not sure if this is just OA, but just for UK I think: http://ukpmc.ac.uk/ --[[User:Johncumbers|Johncumbers]] 19:46, 6 March 2007 (EST)
| |
| ***Yeah, I don't think PMC is OA, rather it is mainly "free", which is worse -- "All the articles in [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/ PMC] are free (sometimes on a delayed basis). Some journals go beyond free, to [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/about/openaccess.html Open Access]." (from the PMC homepage).
