Tips for next ChemCuration #15

schymane · 2019-12-04T18:40:33Z

This is an issue track for suggestions for next ChemCuration

From my side / from twitter conversation:

recommend poster deposition as PDF (not e.g. pptx) for cross-system compatibility and better previews
make poster evaluation criteria more transparent (e.g. poster, good introduction tweet, active discussion on twitter, availability of data and code, contribution to open/FAIR)
do we require registration in advance or just on the day?
update description (what is curation? what posters are in scope, what are not?)
recommend use of hashtag and to e.g. keep conversation connected to opening tweet for better traceability (or cross-link)
do we explicitly encourage side conversations not directly related to posters?
does the conversation continue on the hashtag to raise awareness outside the event?
invite contributions?

Interim summary from @egonw :

6 posters, 112 unique tweets (not counting replies, questions, answers without hashtag) and a 14 % rejection rate

Yes, agree that PDF would be better
I think that advance registration would be advantageous as it pre-commits people to participate. Also an upfront short abstract helps people know what's coming?
Updated description I think is beneficial...the term curation has multiple uses and I think one of our primary areas of focus is improving data QUALITY
Guidance on side conversations re. posters definitely of value...I think it's a chance to expand on the issues to an interested audience but yes, it can distract too.
I vote for YES we continue the conversation but the #chemcur2019 limits to the 2019 conference so maybe the tag is #chemcuration and #chemcur2019 and #chemcur2020 are the conferences?
We should DEFINITELY invite contributions. Most people should have a poster they can repurpose and reformat?
