Dr. Benjamin White @knowledgerights21.org
Dr. Summer Rosonovski #EuropePMC
💬 Panel:
Melissa Harrison #EuropePMC @ebi.embl.org
Dr. Kiera McNeice Research Transparency Manager*
Dr. Bastian Drees @embl.org
Melissa Harrison on how #EuropePMC applies POSI to sustainability:
• Moving to open-first code with documentation for reuse
• Preserving software via @softwareheritage.org
POSI shapes our funder engagement and long-term planning, and is embedded in our next funding application.
#POSIv2
A key part of this? Extracting evidence directly from the scientific literature 🔎
That’s where #EuropePMC comes in, we used text-mining to extract evidence from over 39M abstracts and 4.5M full-text articles.
#DrugDiscovery #OpenScience #TextMining
Same, same, but (quite) different.
1st comparison of #PubMed vs #EuropePMC for #PatientAuthor pubs.
Same = can search both
Same = rapid increase clear
Different = 2x difference in output
We need research on research methods to advance patient authorship!
