Academic Productivity » The Future of the Journal, by Anita de Waard

This advice for researchers is apt for ANY writer at work from now on end.

    • A somewhat related idea are the 5 stars of open linked data:


      ★ make your stuff available on the web (whatever format)

      ★★ make it available as structured data (e.g. excel instead of image scan of a table)

      ★★★ non-proprietary format (e.g. csv instead of excel)

      ★★★★ use URLs to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff

      ★★★★★ link your data to other people’s data to provide context
