“Cutting-edge” research can take years to be made public due to academic communication using prescribed manuscript formats via publishers which may pay-wall the work. Open notebooks permit the free sharing of research from desk or bench to “publication” in just hours. Sharing research in an open notebook can engage larger communities of stakeholders including patient groups, disease advocacy organizations, funders, researchers and the public. In this session, Rachel Harding will share her experiences of running an open notebook and practical steps forward to build open notebook communities.
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto studying Huntington's disease. I publish all of my research in real time using an open lab notebook in an effort to accelerate research in my field.
