Cameron Neylon is a leading advocate of data availability. He writes frequently at Science in the Open on the technical and social issues involved with Open Science. Last month, he gave a presentation titled “Walking the Walk: The experience of using Web 2.0 tools in active research projects” at the e-Science Institute, focusing on several case studies and attempting to identify what makes a Web 2.0 service actually useful for researchers.
The talk provides some practical examples of what works and what doesn’t when applying Web 2.0 principles in active research projects, so I thought it would be useful to repost here at Next Generation Science. A lengthy discussion on the presentation is available on Friendfeed.
