Laboratory Informatics Weekly Update | Volume 16, Issue 5 | | | | 01/30/2018 - Method-centered digital communities on protocols.io for fast-paced scientific innovation  A major goal among researchers in the age of big data is to improve data sharing and collaborative efforts. Kindler et al. note, for example, that "specialized techniques for the production and analysis of viral metagenomes remains in a subset of labs," and other researchers likely don't know about them. As such, the authors of this 2017 paper in F1000Research discuss the enhancement of the protocols.io online collaborative space to include more social elements "for scientists to share improvements and corrections to protocols so that others are not continuously re-discovering knowledge that scientists have not had the time or wear-with-all to publish." With its many connection points, they conclude, the software update "will allow the forum to evolve naturally given rapidly developing trends and new protocols."
03/22/2017 - Ten simple rules for cultivating open science and collaborative R&D This journal article in PLOS Computational Biology's long-running Ten Simple Rules series goes back to 2013, when a collaborative group of eight authors from around the globe pooled their thoughts together on the topic of open science and collaborative R&D. The conversations (linked to in this article) provide context and insight into the various projects — from the Gene Wiki initiative to the Open Source Drug Discovery (OSDD) project — that have required significant deviation of thought from the traditional company view of conducting business. From "lead as a coach, not a CEO" to "grow the commons," the article's authors provide their thoughts on what best makes for collaborative and open science projects. | | Information Competencies for Chemistry Undergraduates  | | 01/20/2018 - List of data breaches and cyber attacks in December 2017 - 33.8 million records leaked
