Writing

Working together to write papers requires the ability to simultaneously work on documents, and keep track of edits and versions.As software in this area becomes more social, it is also hooking into submission systems and workflows.
Peer reviewTwo approaches to “social” reviewing:
• Public reviewing, enabling researchers to be credited for this valuable contribution:
• Reviewing post-publication, publicly though possibly anonymously in some services, to broaden and democratize the process of discussing research findings

Publication
It’s not just about the text!Researchers need to be able to discover, re-use, cite – and be credited for – a wider range of outputs• Datasets• Figures• Posters

Talking about your research is proven to increase the impact of your research
It’s helpful to do so in a way that enables you to track the effect of
social communication on key metrics such as
views, downloads, mentions, citations
The glaucoma-associated olfactomedin domain of myocilin (myoc-OLF) is a recent addition to the growing list of disease-associated amyloidogenic proteins. Inherited, disease-causing myocilin variants aggregate intracellularly instead of being secreted to the trabecular meshwork, which is a scenario toxic to trabecular meshwork cells and leads to early onset of ocular hypertension, the major risk factor for glaucoma. Here we systematically structurally and biophysically dissected myoc-OLF to better understand its amyloidogenesis. Under mildly destabilizing conditions, wild-type myoc-OLF adopts non-native structures that readily fibrillize when incubated at a temperature just below the transition for tertiary unfolding. With buffers at physiological pH, two main endpoint fibril morphologies are observed: (a) straight fibrils common to many amyloids and (b) unique micron-length, ~ 300 nm or larger diameter, species that lasso oligomers, which also exhibit classical spectroscopic amyloid signatures. Three disease-causing variants investigated herein exhibit non-native tertiary structures under physiological conditions, leading to a variety of growth rates and a fibril morphologies. In particular, the well-documented D380A variant, which lacks calcium, forms large circular fibrils. Two amyloid-forming peptide stretches have been identified, one for each of the main fibril morphologies observed. Our study places myoc-OLF within the larger landscape of the amylome and provides insight into the diversity of myoc-OLF aggregation that plays a role in glaucoma pathogenesis.
Explaining in plain language
Explaining in plain language
• people within your field to skim and scan more publications
• people in adjacent fields to understand the relevance of your work to what they are doing
• people outside academia to get a handle on research and
apply it in non-academic ways• people searching lay
keywordsto find publications otherwise “hidden” from them
Easier for:
Discovery
Whether for talking about their own research, or bookmarking other people’s research, LOTS of growth out of the “reference manager” space – solutions are now broader and more sophisticated than that provenance implies!
MetricsSnowball Metrics
The more people conduct and communicate research in social ways, the more metrics can evolve to give a nuanced understanding of the effect of research throughout its life cycle
Providers are differentiated by data sources and algorithms.
