This is what he told us.<\/p>\n<p><b>Is this your first meeting?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>No, I have been at more than half of them before it was Force11. The thing I love about FORCE is it brings communities together, different communities. There aren&rsquo;t enough communities where there are researchers, administrators and funders, very few meetings pull all these people together. The people who are going to [academic conferences such as] AGU or ACS are mostly scholars, and&nbsp;the publishers who go are sales people. There&#039;s little opportunity for the technologists to come together and Force draws those communities together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does NISO benefit from this meeting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are three ways in which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.niso.org\/home\/\">NISO<\/a> benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thought&nbsp;leadership and awareness of where the community is heading. What are the issues that are revealed? like peer review of data and how we improve that. That conversation isn&rsquo;t taking place much and this is a good place to push that idea forward<\/li>\n<li>Promoting work that we&#039;ve done ourselves, such as alternative metrics and data citation<\/li>\n<li>Community development &#8211; we are also a membership organization, seeking&nbsp;to identify and address problems&nbsp;for our members.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is the one thing that stands out during the meeting for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had a conversation with one of the travel fellows from Latin America &#8211; Chile &#8211; talking about the western European-centricity of scholarly communication, that there are problems that we think we are solving that aren&rsquo;t as significant in their eyes. Which is fascinating. It gave me the opportunity to understand better.&nbsp;We don&rsquo;t have enough opportunities to engage these communities outside of our own, which is one of the things I love about FORCE.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How have things changed since the very first conference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FORCE has become bigger, more diverse and the range of the issues that we are trying to address is different &#8211; more practical. <a href=\"\/beyond-the-pdf-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyond the PDF<\/a> started out more revolutionary,&nbsp;but Force11 is more evolutionary. It is simultaneously more narrow but more impactful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens after you leave here?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, we concretely agree that we are going to try and develop a template of what is a peer review for data. There are a lot of practical takeaways from this meeting &#8211; and then we start planning the next one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you plan to stay engaged?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will be on the <a href=\"\/program-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">program&nbsp;committee<\/a> again, and try stay in touch with new Twitter friends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What areas&nbsp;were not&nbsp;sufficiently addressed at this conference that you think should be explored?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peer review and discovery &#8211;&nbsp;how people find and discover science&nbsp;that is relevant to them, and a greater awareness of what is happening outside of western Europe and North America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ct_meta\"><span class=\"ct_label\">Archive:<\/span>&nbsp;<a class=\"ct_archive\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/archive.force11.net\/node\/7966\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/archive.force11.net\/node\/7966<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Force 2017, we caught up with Todd Carpenter and had a little chat.
