DocMaps: What are they and how can I benefit from using them?
Doc Maps are a community-driven framework for describing the processes used to create documents in a structured manner. Over the last few months, four open science organizations — eLife/Sciety, EMBO, Cold Spring Harbor Lab (CSHL) Press, and Knowledge Futures — have been piloting using DocMaps to describe emerging preprint evaluation models pioneered by groups like the Novel Coronavirus Research Compendium (NCRC), EMBO Press, Review Commons, eLife, and the MIT Press’s Rapid Reviews: COVID-19 (RR:C19) journal. DocMaps will provide machine-readable data and context about how community groups and peer review platforms are evaluating preprints, which will be aggregated by eLife's Sciety and EMBO's EEB platforms and consumed and displayed on CSHL's medrxiv and biorxiv preprint servers.
During the session, we'll start by describe the philosophy and rational of DocMaps and show working examples of the in-progress implementation. Then we'll turn the agenda over to you. We're ready to break out into groups to provide guidance for publishers who want to add DocMaps to their works, dive deep into implementation with tools/platform developers, discuss potential use-cases for researchers, brainstorm reader-facing visualizations, and whatever else you're interested in.
