Hey open-science list,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>We're in the process of compiling a list of notable, 'senior' open scientists to publish on a dedicated page on <a href="http://science.okfn.org/" target="_blank">http://science.okfn.org/</a></div>
<div>We think this is an important move to publicly demonstrate that open approaches & advocacy, in STEM research are used by the very best.</div><div><br>Who would you nominate as an excellent example of an established open scientist?</div>
<div><br></div><div><b>Criteria & Guidance:</b> We're looking for Principal Investigators and above here.</div><div>Whilst there are many excellent open grad students and postdocs out there, we're just looking for a list of very <i>established</i> open scientists on this occasion.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our list in progress is linked below (it's only just begun, we're probably missing many obvious names):</div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbO6mZEvieCdDlNd0p3RXRzQVhTcjg4Q19hXzFhX3c&usp=sharing" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbO6mZEvieCdDlNd0p3RXRzQVhTcjg4Q19hXzFhX3c&usp=sharing</a> </div>
<div><br></div><div>If you have any suggestions for other excellent, established open scientists please add them directly to the above spreadsheet with supporting details of how/why they represent open science and links. Also, better descriptions of why they're open are very welcome!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Elsewise, feel free to discuss nominations further on-list here.</div><div><br></div><div>Some guide examples:</div><div><br></div><div>John Sulston - Strong advocate and supporter of open data in science. Nobel Prize Winner</div>
