Lightning talk
What should the future look like?
What are the essential characteristics we desire in a relatively near future system to support scholarly communication across the full research life cycle?
What are the key areas requiring attention, action, or investment today to reach the future that we want to reach?
What are the best opportunities to build upon existing practices, investments and infrastructure, both
open and commercially provided?
Where must alternatives be developed?
What areas are already on good trajectories and can be left to evolve without additional intervention

I can access your X
Your X is (re)usable by me and with my tools/data
I get credit for using your X
You can’t use my X
Only access/use my X if I say so
I have resources and skills to make my X reusable
and reproducible and credit for this
I get credit if you use X
Someone else will paying for its stewardship and
archiving. It will always be there & free for me.

Develop a Software Management Plan
Publish your code
Get expert help
Much research software development is not formally planned
Developed to solve a research question
Evolved rather than planned
Even larger research software projects tend to be driven by a single person to start
Software Management Plans are a way of thinking through the process of running a research software development project
Make source code publicly accessible from day one
Make software easy to discover by providing software metadata via a popular community registry
Adopt a licence and comply with the licence of third-party dependencies
Describe clear and transparent contribution, governance and communication processes

Openness is not the ends it’s the means
Harvest from researcher into repositories – pull not push – automated deposition (from FAIRDOM)
Reduce scope to get concrete action
Geoffry Bilder - Stability
Centralisation always happens to help with scale and ease of use
Don’t be surprised!!
Distributed infrastructure has to be centralised.
Deal with it and create procurement norms
Commercial orgs do that – without undermining the system
Provide commercial need – what are the ground rules for demand PROCUREMENT issues.

Commoditisation
Don’t hide the process – it’s the tax for access
Funders DO fund infrastructure just do it really badly
What if we funded electricity like research infrastructure

Side effect (nudge theory)
The Nobel judges’ decision in October 2017 to bestow their award on professor Richard Thaler underlines how prominent and influential nudge theory has become. The term came to the fore in 2008 with the publication of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth and Happiness, the bestselling book on behavioural economics Thaler co-wrote with high-profile legal scholar Cass Sunstein.
