\subsubsection{Dedication}\label{dedication}

The Transforming Scholarly Communication workshop was largely the
brainchild of Lee Dirks, of the Microsoft Research ``Connections''
group. Lee passed away in August 2012, and we hope that all of the good
outcomes of this workshop serve forever as a tribute to Lee.

\subsubsection{Summary}\label{summary}

Funds from Sloan Foundation grant B2011-35 were employed, in concert
with additional support from the Moore Foundation and Microsoft
Research, to organize and host an invitation-only workshop on the future
of scholarly communication entitled \emph{Transforming Scholarly
Communication.} Hosted by Microsoft Research and Harvard University's
{[}Seamless Astronomy Group{]}
(http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/seamlessastronomy/), the
\href{http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/escience2011-scholarly-communications/}{workshop}
took place on October 23rd-25th, 2011 at Microsoft's
\href{http://microsoftcambridge.com/Default.aspx}{New England Research
\& Development Center} in Cambridge, MA. The workshop hosted 75 experts
in scholarly communication from across the academy, the publishing
industry, scholarly and learned societies, as well as funding agencies
worldwide. Rather than focusing on policy, the workshop focused on
practice: existing and newly developed technologies designed to enhance
scholarship and scholarly communication we discussed in order to
determine factors for their success and their potential. The workshop
was organized into six thematic themes: \#resources \#review
\#literature \#media \#recognition \#platforms. Participants were
assigned to one of these themes based on their expertise. Each group
prepared a final report which summarized: a) most important changes that
need to occur in the research ecosystem, specifically in the context of
the group theme, and b) what projects, tools or programs of research can
be adopted to ensure they are enacted. The full official reports from
the workshop can be found at the website:

\subsubsection{Highlighted Outcome:
Authorea}\label{highlighted-outcome-authorea}

The document you are reading was created in a new online scholarly
publication authoring system, called \textbf{Authorea}, inspired by the
Sloan-supported workshop. It offers many features that discussions at
the workshop deemed desirable, including:

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  easy system allowing many co-authors to work collaboratively online,
  all at once
\item
  support for markup languages (LaTeX) and Markdown
\item
  flexible handling of image formats
\item
  option to make work private or public, and the opportunity to make
  initially ``private'' work public
\item
  provenance-aware authoring (github backend used for version control)
\item
  transparency of author contributions (thanks to github backend)
\item
  easy citation insertion, using extant repositories (e.g.~ADS)
\item
  export to ``standard'' formats for Journal article submission
\end{itemize}

\href{https://www.authorea.com}{Authorea} was co-founded by
\href{http://albertopepe.com}{Alberto Pepe}, a postdoctoral fellow in
the \href{http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/seamlessastronomy/}{Seamless
Astronomy} group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
(Alyssa Goodman serves as Pepe's postdoctoral sponsor, and as scientific
consultant to the Authorea project.) Pepe, who is also now a fellow at
Harvard's \href{http://cyber.law.harvard.edu}{Berkman Center}, was a key
member of the organizing committee for the ``Transforming Scholarly
Communication'' workshop. Pepe set up this workshop's tumblr site, and
Authorea was, in-part, inspired by the frustration tumblr users
experience when trying to work collaboratively online. Further
inspiration came from looking over all that was learned at the workshop,
and from experiences beforehand, which showed that even though systems
with desirable properties existed (e.g.~github for provenance, Markdown
for easy ascii authoring), they had yet to be combined into an
easy-to-use tool for scholars.

Today, Authorea has more than 1000 users, even though it is still in a
very early stage of active development. The near-term future of Authorea
will see:

\begin{itemize}
\tightlist
\item
  dynamic image formats
\item
  additional output file format options (for increased compatibility
  across fields and publishers)
\item
  expanded commenting and annotation options
\item
  access to works for referees, as non-authors
\item
  links to the Dataverse project
\item
  general expansion of the model so as to include projects that bear
  less resemblance to scholarly articles (e.g.~inclusion, easy access,
  to more file types in the ``Folder'' view)
\item
  collaborations with publishers, foundations, and other organizations
\end{itemize}
