SciVee Pubcasts - New Modes of Scientific Dissemination

描述(由申请者提供)：S公司的主要产品是一个Web2.0资源，可以在http://www.scivee.tv上找到，也是科学家的YouTube，但更多，这将在后面概述。SciVee代表着学术交流方面潜在的令人兴奋和重大的增强。本网站汇集了多媒体内容(视频、播客、文本和数字)，内容涉及从K12到专业科学家的各种科学兴趣话题。该产品是免费内容(根据Creative Commons 3.0许可证提供)，大致可以分为Pubcast和科学视频两类。Pubcast将同行评议科学论文的作者(S)5-10分钟的视频演示与该论文的开放获取内容(如果有，否则只是摘要)结合在一起，以增强一个人理解该内容的能力。封闭获取论文的发布包括视频、补充幻灯片、数据等以及发表的同行评议论文的摘要。视频是对广泛的科学主题的展示，其他媒体，特别是纸质媒体很难传播。与Pubcast和视频相关的是围绕内容刺激的共同兴趣领域形成的用户社区。存在主题、实验室、机构等社区。用户对内容进行评论和评级，这是典型的Web 2.0资源。本网站的目标是：“激发所有年龄段的人对科学的持续兴趣，重点是保留那些对科学刻板印象和教科书格式感到厌烦的年轻人的兴趣，因为这是保持这种兴趣的唯一形式。“吸引YouTube一代，他们是下一代领先的科学家。“为了促进专业人员对不断扩大的科学知识的理解，需要更加多学科的专业人员。“营造科学话语的新型环境。“利用日益增长的全文开放获取(OA)科学文献，以增强学习和帮助促进OA出版模式的方式。SciVee是与公共科学图书馆(PLoS)合作创建的，并得到了国家科学基金会(NSF)的小额探索性研究补助金(SGER)。支付给开发网站的补助金(内容管理系统、后端数据库、冗余服务器等)目前，该网站每月有30,000名独立用户、数千个视频、5000个社区成员和大约40个Pubcast。发展和可持续性的下一阶段(第一阶段)需要对拟议的商业模式进行评价，而后续阶段需要颁布由此产生的经修改的商业模式(第二阶段)。与公共卫生相关：在新的媒介中传播科学有可能在全球范围内改善科学研究和教育。这反过来又会影响公共卫生。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): SciVee Inc.'s major product is a Web 2.0 resource that can be found as http://www.scivee.tv and is a YouTube for scientists but much more, as will be outlined subsequently. SciVee represents a potentially exciting and significant enhancement in scholarly communication. SciVee aggregates multimedia content (video, podcasts, text and figures) on topics of scientific interest for an audience ranging from K12 to professional scientists. The product is free content (available under a Creative Commons 3.0 license) which can be broadly classified as either Pubcasts or scientific videos. Pubcasts integrate a 5-10 minute video presentation by the author(s) of a peer reviewed scientific paper with the open access content (if available otherwise just the abstract) of that paper to enhance one's ability to comprehend that content. Pubcasts of closed access papers consist of a video, supplementary slides, data etc. and the abstract of the published peer reviewed paper. Videos are presentations of a broad range of scientific topics not easily communicated by other media, notably print. Associated with Pubcasts and videos are communities of users that form around areas of common interest stimulated by the content. Communities exist for topics, laboratories, institutions, etc. Users comment and rate content as is typical of a Web 2.0 resource. The goals of SciVee are: " To stimulate continued interest in science by people of all ages with emphasis on retaining the interest of young minds who are turned off by the scientific stereotype and the textbook format as the only form of retaining that interest. " To engage the YouTube generation who are the next generation of leading scientists. " To facilitate the comprehension of an ever broadening body of scientific knowledge by professionals required to be ever more multi-disciplinary. " To create a new type of environment for scientific discourse. " To take advantage of the increasing body of full text open access (OA) scientific literature in ways that enhance learning and help promote the OA publishing model. SciVee was created in collaboration with the Public Library of Science (PLoS) and with a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The grant paid to develop the Web site (content management system, backend database, redundant servers etc.) At present the site has 30,000 unique users per month, several thousand videos, 5000 community members and about 40 Pubcasts. The next stage of development and sustainability (Phase I) requires an evaluation of the proposed business model and the subsequent phase require enactment of the resulting modified business model (Phase II). PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The dissemination of science in a new medium has the potential for global improvements in science research and education. This in turn will impact Public Heath.
