Lost In Translation when machines meet STM content…
This presentation was designed to be delivered live. To help you understand the content I have added these
notes…
The Economist published a piece last month on the reproducibility crisis. The article was wide ranging in scope and explored a number of themes thought to contribute to
the lack of experimental reproducibility…
Referenced in the Economist piece was interesting work by Melissa Haendal et al., which specifically examined the relative identifiability of material resources in a relevant
sample of biomedical literature…
Identification
Resource
Initiative
This study reported that less than 50% of mentioned resources were uniquely identifiable by humans. The gradual recognition of this identifiability problem as a
significant contributor to poor reproducibility has given rise to the Resource Identification Initiative (#RII)
1. Unique Identifier
AB_1234578 A central aim of the RII is to develop a standard
identification nomenclature for all experimental resources (Commercial and Non-commercial)…
2. Editor Awareness
• Drive adoption • Better XML standards • Content machine friendly
Publishers have a significant role to play in these efforts. By simply improving and enforcing material and method
author guidelines the relative identifiability of experimental resources could be dramatically improved…
3. Distribution…
As a company scrazzl/CompareNetworks are supporting the efforts of the RII. Our business goals are to have third parties like scholarly publishers use our product data in
their web applications…
Quartzy
This type of collaboration allows our partners to avoid the costs of managing their own product databases while
growing ancillary revenues by using our product URLs….
JoVE
JoVE and Quartzy are both using our product API to power product discovery on their websites. This saves them data
management costs and allows them to grow ancillary revenue through syndication…
Biocompare
Our focus on product analysis in research content allows us to make the content of publishers we work with more
discoverable. The Citation Feed service is used by product vendors to manage citations on their websites…
Interested In
• Discussion about best practice in material and method sections.
• Users of product information APIs. • Data mining access to material and
method sections.
Please join the efforts to improve resource reporting by joining the RII. You can learn more about our APIs and the
other ways that we work with publishers by going to developers.scrazzl.com…
