The document provides an overview of the LiquidPub Snow Workshop 2010 agenda. The workshop will include parallel panels on Friday morning discussing dissemination and discovery of scientific knowledge, collaborative creation of scientific knowledge, and novel methods for organizing conferences. The afternoon will include collaborative sessions and informal discussions. On Saturday, there will be feedback from the advisory board. The document also provides summaries of the three panel discussions.

Nevertheless, formal peer review as we understand it today still dates back to at least the 18th century. The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London—founded in 1665, the same year as the Journaldes sc¸avans—was selective in its choice of manuscripts, but this was an informal process in the handsof the editor [137]. The Royal Society of Edinburgh’s Medical Essays and Observations, first publishedin 1731, was probably the first to introduce peer review as we would recognise it today, with submittedmanuscripts being distributed by the editor to appropriate specialists for assessment [137, 6];

Liquid journals belong to a research line, in which we are trying to understand the challenges and opportunities the Web has made possible in terms of knowledge dissemination and evaluation.
To understand these possibilities and opportunities we need to look into the current dissemination model, and the reasons behind its structure. But what’s under the hood.. If we look at the current model we see that most of the features are there because of historical reasons.. ICSOC/ServiceWave2009
The Web has changed the way we get, share, produce and consume scientific content. Publishing is almost free. We have now new formats and new types of scientific content: We have blogs, papers, datasets.. provided by a variety of services on the Internet. In traditional and non traditional sources. The problem is now the attention [Huberman] ICSOC/ServiceWave2009
T The problem has become, for the readers. How do I get interesting an relevant content? For the authors, how do I make my work visible? The problem is now the attention [Huberman] ICSOC/ServiceWave2009
Original reasons for journal model now gone. Scarce resource now is attention Liquid journals: back to the roots – how to provide interesting content Separate the production/publication of content from the selection and grouping A journal is a view over scientific content avail on the web (free or not) The journal is defined as a query over the Web The editor specifies the type and properties of the content What behaviours are good for science?

And let users discover and get interesting problem. Focusing their attention to the things they care about.

And therefore to understand and define the dimensions of what is scientific content How we can enable behaviours that are good for science? -enable early sharing -having people giving feedback How can the new publication mechanism benefit from the Web? What are the processes to follow How can we enable new possibilities?! We have defined an early model based on some initial research ICSOC/ServiceWave2009

Some scenarios are more developed (specially the first one) than others. So, we would probably spend more time on them.
Fabio, Paco, Stefan want to do a LB togheter (e.g. “ Smart Web 2.0 applications” ) Each professor wants to obtain tailored and packaged teaching material for the class. They feel that by sharing their books/lecture notes can only get better each one of them has a different area of expertise they will put together their competences and materials, that already have or that are writing, to "compose" the LB. The three authors have many overlapping competences, although each of them has a field in which he is stronger. They all teach classes related to this topic, with different Teaching material they have includes slides, lecture notes, exercises, reference literature, etc.). --------------------------- It is unrealistic to assume that an author can just take somebody else's content and put it into their book without any change. Some, at least minimal, changes are always needed (references, terminology)
In this first scenario we have a small set of authors, not so much content, authors just started the LB, and we suppose they use whatever system they prefer to share content and collaborate: svn-like, launchpad, etc. Moreover we consider for simplicity, that the final output is just a pdf with a companion web site)
have some guarantee that "their" content will be used appropriately. N o one want "to loose control" on their content (does everybody need to agree on all editions that anybody publishes?). If Stefan changes Paco content (given that Stefan is allowed to do that) to adapt that to his class, what if Paco does not like that content and does not approve that change?
Let us imagine that Fabio has written a document A, then Stefan takes this doc and modifies it (doc A2), then Paco takes this content A2 and modify it again (A3). Should the authors be notified of this changes? Probably yes. Then if Fabio takes his content A and modify it, creating content AB should Paco and Stefan be notified that the seed document has been modified?
Approval policies : once somebody reuses my content, do I require my approval on the final version to see that my content has been used appropriately and interpreted correctly? - Policies to opt out : if I do not want to be part of this team anymore, and I want to opt out, what happens to my content? I probably cannot just delete my content, also because other authors have already taken that and modified it and included it in their books.
Once Stefan has taken some content from Paco's and Fabio's one, he will have edited that, changed/added something and then arranged the new content in a new book tailored for his class of "Web 2.0 applications". Now the problem is: who is the author of the book? and, how to decide this? It is clear that Stefan did the main work, but he took content that Fabio and Paco have written. Possible solutions could be: - Stefan is listed as main author (a sort of editor), and Fabio and Paco are listed as contributors (but on the main cover); - The three authors are listed simply "as authors", without any distinction; - Stefan is listed as the only author, but inside the book, for each section there is the indication of who wrote/inspired/initiate the section itself. - There is authorship with the description of what each contributed, what has been reused, extent of changes, etc.... -...
There are lots of platforms that should support the collaborative writing: svn, gdocs, wiki, etc. However each one of that lacks some support for different tasks. Some platforms, like gdocs, are in principle very simple to use, while lacking lots of features (like ...), some others are more complete, but sometime require a learning effort that discourage the user to deal with that. Also: how much can the IT do for us?
