Re: Publication of scientific research

Hi all,

generally, it is really interesting to follow this discussion. I've 
never been a friend of the cumbersome scientific research publishing way 
(that's why there are no real scientific publications available from 
myself - except the two theses that I wrote during my studies ;) ). So 
I'm really looking forward to a more webby for doing this since ages.
When I wrote my final thesis in 2010/11 - I tried to publish as many 
content (section excerpts, slides, ontologies, code, ... e.g. [3, 4, 5]) 
on the web from my theses as I could. For a starting point Wordpress and 
Drupal are your friends (as Ivan already suggested). With semantic 
annotation plugins รก la RDFaCE [1] one could go even a step further. 
Other plugins such as Angelo's Wordpress extension [2] can deliver the 
metadata.
However, finally I wrote the thesis itself in LaTeX and published (also 
on the Web, e.g., Mendeley or ResearchGate) as PDF, because I never 
found a good LaTeX to HTML converter that could handle my latex document 
in a satisfiable way. Fortunately, Authorea is exactly trying to do this 
for me. So I'll give it try with my theses (with so many web references 
inside ;) ) and let you know whether it is really able to handle a "real 
world" LaTeX document.
At the end tools such as Authorea are the perfect bridge for the way we 
are trying to go now by bringing scientific research publishing to the 
present.

Cheers,


Bo
