PubUp.org is a not-for-profit website that allows people to submit a published research article or preprint which will be peer-reviewed by all site users and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a new article it will be placed in the unpublished area (New) until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page (What's Hot).

John Seely Brown - Cultivating the Entrepreneurial Learner in the 21st Century. Keynote Presentation at DML 2012 Conference in San Francisco, CA. Thursday March, 1st 2012.

We analyze the online response of the scientific community to the preprint publication of scholarly articles. We employ a cohort of 4,606 scientific articles submitted to the preprint database arXiv.org between October 2010 and April 2011. We study three forms of reactions to these preprints: how they are downloaded on the arXiv.org site, how they are mentioned on the social media site Twitter, and how they are cited in the scholarly record. We perform two analyses. First, we analyze the delay and time span of article downloads and Twitter mentions following submission, to understand the temporal configuration of these reactions and whether significant differences exist between them. Second, we run correlation tests to investigate the relationship between Twitter mentions and both article downloads and article citations. We find that Twitter mentions follow rapidly after article submission and that they are correlated with later article downloads and later article citations, indicating that social media may be an important factor in determining the scientific impact of an article.

Peer Evaluation is about giving Open Access to your primary data, working papers, articles, media and having them all reviewed and discussed by your peers. Peer evaluation is a strong supporter of qualified peer reviewing and is, in that respect, a valuable supplement, inspiration and hub for peer reviewed journals and publications. Finally, Peer Evaluation is an independent and community interest project.

Kudos to the city of Brussels for starting its open data initiative.
