\"Photo\nHi all, welcome to this winter solstice challenge! Umm, to not give our southern hemisphere colleagues\nnot a disadvantage, as their winter solstice has already passes, you’re up for a summer solstice challenge!

\n\n

Introduction

\n\n

So, you know ImpactStory and Altmetric.com (if not,\nbrowse\nmy blog);\nthese are wonderful tools to see what people are doing with your work. I hope you already know about\nOpenCitations, a collaboration of publishers, CrossRef, and many others, to\nmake all citation data available. They just passed the 50% milestone, congratulations on that amazing\nachievement! For the younger scientists it may be worth realizing that for the past 20 years, at least,\nthis data was copyrighted and not to be used unless you paid. Elsevier is, BTW,\nthe major culprit\nstill claiming IP on this, but RT this if you are surprised.

\n\n

So, the reason I introduce both ImpactStory and OpenCitations is the following. Scientific articles are\ndata and knowledge dense documents. If we did not redirect the reader to other literature. That may give\na more complete sketch of the context, describe a measurement protocol, describe how certain knowledge\nwas derived, etc. Therefore, just having your article Open Access is not enough: the articles you cite\nshould be Open Access too. That’s the next phase if really making an effort to have\nall of humanity benefit from the fruits of science.

\n\n

I know it is hard already to calculate a “Open Access” score, though ImpactStory does a great job at\nthat! So, calculating this for your paper and the papers those papers cite is even harder. You may\nneed to brush up your algorithm and programming skills.

\n\n

Eligibility

\n\n

Anyone is allowed to participate. Submission of your entry is done online, e.g. in your blog, in a public\nwrite up, or even a open notebook!\nHowever, you need at least on citable research object. That is, it\nneeds a DOI. Otherwise, I cannot give you the prize (see below). The score should be based on all your\nproducts. Bonus points for those who include software and data citations. Excluding citable object to\nboost your score (for example, I would have to exclude my book chapters), is seen as cheating the system.

\n\n

\"Your

\n\n

Depth

\n\n

Calculating your Open Knowledge score can be done at multiple levels. After all, your article depends\n(cites) articles, and your software depends on libraries, but those cited articles and software\ndependencies recursively also cite articles and/or software. The complexity is non-trivial, making it\na perfect solstice challenge indeed!

\n\n

Prizes

\n\n

The prize I have to offer is my continued commitment to Open Science, but that you already get for\nfree and may not be enough boon. So, instead, soon after the winter/summer solstice at the end of this year,\nI will blog about your research boosting your #altmetrics\nscores. Yes, I will actually read and try to understand it!

\n\n

And because there is the results and the method, neither of which exist yet, there are two categories! I just\ndoubled your chance of winning! That’s because humanity is worth it! One prize for the best tool to calculated\nyour Open Knowledge score, and one prize for the researcher with the highest score.

\n\n

Audience Prize

\n\n

If someone feels a need to organize an audience prize, this is very much encouraged! (Assuming Open approaches, of course :)
