hi i'm heather Steans the director of partnerships for hypothesis today I want to recreate for you a flash presentation that I gave in London in December at the STM innovations meeting I hope you find
00:00:12
it useful the research life cycles we know it's a day well it's pretty broken there's a lot of proprietary tools things are siloed researchers have to enter the same information over and over again often cutting and pasting it's a
00:00:25
mess it's enough to make you want to pull your hair out what have I told you about a tool that you could use throughout the entirety of the research lifecycle you'd have access to all the digital notes you've ever made on the web private public and in groups and
00:00:38
that you could use it to filter search and explore in the creation submission revision collaboration process you could even use it for deep linking welcome to open standards-based annotation you can create a free account at our website
00:00:50
today publishers and platform hosts can embed the free version of hypothesis to give their users a great annotation experience and if you want something a little bit more customized we can work with you to create a branded moderated
00:01:01
annotation layer here's a shot of my hypothesis profile page I have access here to every article I've ever annotated I can get back to them I can see what I've written I can click on my tags I can filter and explore I don't
00:01:15
have to worry about ever losing access to my articles again if I remove my name I have access to the public annotation stream everything that's been annotated publicly anywhere around the world I can
00:01:27
explore annotations made by others I can take a look at the articles that they're looking at all this is included in the cross rep event data and indexed by Google in February 2017 the w3c approved
00:01:39
annotation is a web standard this means in future versions of browsers you'll be able to select your annotation client in the same way that you tell your browser now what your preferred search engine is it'll be just that easy we recently passed 2.3 million
00:01:54
annotations and we're going strong we cost 1 million in February 2017 two million October 2017 we even had a couple of 10,000 annotation days we're looking forward to our three millionth annotation happening sometime in early
00:02:07
2018 I want to talk about annotation how it can be used throughout the entire research lifecycle with a particular attention to preprints because I don't have a slide on that will be providing annotation capabilities for both bio
00:02:21
archives and for the new agey user frequent server annotation and peer review is a frequently requested use case here's an example of how a journal press has integrated hypothesis and it's available
00:02:33
to any of the publishers who are using their platform we're in touch with other our manuscript submission systems today to include hypothesis and other aspects of peer-review close replication discussion is another frequent use case
00:02:46
we're working with publishers to create a brand and moderated annotation layer this will by default on their content so users no need no longer need to upload a PDF to another site in order to collaborate on top of it
00:02:59
publishers can have multiple layers of annotation on their content they can decide who gets to see annotations and who gets to create them you might have one layer for example for general discussion that anyone can join and maybe some limited layers maybe one
00:03:11
limited just to authors annotating on their own work maybe one for exposing peer review some rooms the dashboards for cross these different layers can be as broad or as narrow as you like you could have one per book one per journal
00:03:23
title you could gather together a selection of journals in a similar subject area or have it go across the entirety of German your domain it's a great way for readers to explore others can use hypothesis to connect
00:03:36
their research to supplemental materials and updates even if the material is located on many places across the web they can use hypothesis to correspond with readers or with reviewers you can
00:03:49
also use hypothesis for the automated annotation of entities 125 journals and neuroscience use research resource IDs for reproducibility you can have material from an external database pop up along the side of your content in the
00:04:01
form of an annotation card experts can also use hypothesis to connect resources across the web for example for fact-checking purposes you can link readers to a piece of content
00:04:13
in a citation or in an annotation card and take them exactly to the piece of content that you're referring to hypothesis is also being used all around the world in the classroom we have an integration with the canvas LMS and
00:04:27
other learning management systems coming soon it's great for collaboration and close reading assignments for students professors are very excited about it hypothesis is a non-profit and we think this is critical for the
00:04:41
future annotation ecosystem we can maintain an independent voice we're not beholden to shareholders but to our publisher partners and we cannot be acquired by your competition we'll stay independent I want to end today by
00:04:56
telling you that it's not just about annotation it's about the technology behind it we think of the web in terms of page level URLs page level addresses it's what we've had we today with the hypothesis technology we can have more
00:05:08
we can create a unique persistent web address for a sentence for a paragraph for a cell in a vsv csv file for a word for link data this is going to be absolutely essential and the greatest
00:05:21
thing is you don't have to retag or enrich your content in any way it will just work thank you very much for listening don't hesitate to contact me if you've got any questions about hypothesis and more importantly please
