1science’s originsthe tipping point
Challenges met by OA initiatives and
movement“Where can we find it all?”
“How can we publish?”“How can we assess quality?”
“Can we replace part of our subscriptions with OA content?
If so, how?”
We built 3 complementary products to address the cost and
accessibility issues
OA papers discovery
Custom-made reports to increase subscriptions’cost-effectiveness and identify institutionalstrengths
OA papers global discovery&virtual repository
A SOLUTION TO HELP EMBRACE OA MORE ACTIVELY
Our biggest challenges
Build a kick a** engineering team in Montreal’s saturated recruiting market
Data treatment and quality validation
Release a big data product within 12 months
1science “ELECTION” TECHNOLOGY
Why would I work for you ?
Simon Sinek’s TED talk. The golden circle.
Why?We believe institution’s access to knowledge should be easier and cheaper
By facilitating the flow of knowledge thanks to the open access movement and technology
