Re: [Obi-devel] [Obi-coord] OBI coordinators call/ no developers call tomorrow

Publication policy,

I agree with Ryan and would definitely not want/have no right to appear in
the author list of an OBI paper. Real contributors, however, should not be
hidden be in 'The OBI consortium'.

Unfortunately I probably  won't be at Wednesday's coordinator call as it
looks like I'll be on the road. 

 

ISMB poster:

Since I'm not going to be there, I'll happily ask that discussion of a
poster at ISMB in Toronto be added to the agenda. I am highly supportive of
such an undertaking as this is how I bumped into Trish and the FuGO project,
and it will hopefully similarly target other groups. Melanie is preparing a
poster for a flow cytometry conference taking place at around the same time
that could be helpful in preparing the ISMB one (they could even be the
same). She is also planning to go to Toronto, and could help stand on guard
for thee during poster sessions. 

 

Publication policy:

I believe there are three possibilities on how the main OBI manuscript can
be authored. Either as "OBI Consortium", individually by authors, or through
a combination of the both. I would hope that OBI chooses to recognize the
contributions of contributing members through individual authorship to aid
academic recognition of these contributions. My experience on review panels
has been that manuscripts indicated as resulting from a consortium of
authors, regardless of the impact factor of the journal, do not result in
appropriate credit. While plans to have participation in ontology
development be given the same weight as manuscript publication are laudable,
this is not reflected in current academic evaluation criteria. 

 

OBO Foundry Associate Editor:

Happy to serve, however I would be hesitant at having more than one person
responsible for these duties to ensure blame is can be properly partitioned.
Kidding aside, having one OBI OBO FAE should help get the job done, and the
duties do not seem as onerous as to require a group effort.

 

OBI Votes:

Vote early, vote often:

My sincere regrets at not being available,
