[open-science] Panton Principles Publicity

[cameron.neylon at stfc.ac.uk]

I'd be inclined to actually go with Publish...presses all the right traditional buttons and the principles themselves are very specific in focussing on "published data from public science" so if it is part of the push to "publish your data" then I think that works. PP was less about publishing more data and more about publishing more effectively.

Cheers

Scientists are more likely to recognize common cause with the PP when the issue is framed in terms of bolstering the scientific method, not when when it calls for behavior (altruistic sharing) that run counter to how 'competitive-collaborative' science is conducted.  Most scientists think of 'sharing' data with collaborators only if and when they can advance their own research.   We don't ask scientists to 'share' their manuscripts (an altruistic act), but rather to publish their manuscripts (a professional obligation but one that brings rewards).  So 'Replicate' -> 'Reuse' -> 'Revolutionize' might be closer to a message that would resonate outside of the choir, and convey the sense that 'open data means better science'.  'Replicate' might not be the perfect term either, though it does at least have the virtue of starting with an 'R'!
