| Full name: | The next generation of scientific journals |

The NextGeneration project aims at the re-thinking of the terms scientific publication and scientific journal and researching the new generation of publications (multi-layer, enhanced publications, nanopublications, data papers, etc.). We would also like to prepare for a paradigm shift in the handling of primary/raw data, annotations, reviews and open access regarding research papers. A concrete pilot is planned with a Hungarian journal on economics.
The project will focus on the current problems including:
- Semantic processing of metadata and content of publications and connecting them to the LOD cloud.
- Support for reproducibility of scientific results, including the preservation and sharing of primary data and used algorithms.
- Beyond open access publication, the investigation of open review mechanisms and open discussion of papers in scientific communitites.
The new journal as a model and prototype will provide a space for experimentation as well in order to develop new paradigms for scientific publication.
