Clarifying the TopicWhat is ‘enhanced publication’?
“…a publication that is enhanced with research data, extra materials, post
publication data, database records (e.g. the Protein Data Bank), and that has
an object-based structure with explicit links between the objects. In this
definition an object can be (part of) an article, a data set, an image, a movie,
a comment, a module or a link to information in a database.”
(Woutersen-Windhouwer & Brandsma, 2009: 20)

• persistent identifiers; unique and global• timestamp & citation info• file types: common• datasets with universal numeric ID• technical quality meriting preservation• consideration of legal issuesalso • availability & sustainability• ownership & responsibility• peer reviewed, ranked, cited & commented• balancing complexity & utility

Enhanced Publications: clustering components
Central components •Accessibility
– Open access to publications
•Durability– Repositories for publications– Persistent identifiers for objects of publications
•Interoperability– Interlinking of objects
•Replicability– Availability of data for inspection & secondary analysis
Secondary Components•supplementary research materials
– instrumentation, additional analyses
•contextual materials– setting, object of study, background of researcher
•Visualizations– use of color, dynamic figures
•Multimedia– podcasts, videos

Next Steps
• Completion of 4 books with WordPress prototype for enhancement (Sept. 2011)
• Presentation of prototypes to publishers & authors (Sept. – Dec. 2011)
• Development & launch of a series of topic-related enhanced scholarly publications (Jan. – June 2012)
10 June 2011 KNAW e-Humanities Group 24
Enhancing Scholarship...enduring questions
• To what extent does enhancement contribute to the quality of an ‘argument’ in a scholarly publication?
• What solutions are available for multiple challenges confronting enhanced scholarly publications?– Preserving / archiving dynamic objects in a Web environment– Interrelating objects of EPs– Convincing key players (publishers, editors, authors) of value and affordability
