Themes and problems of getting theme research questions answered by blogposts. Finding solutions. This means being inventive in bringing on board new editorial formats for blogposts / content: interviews, making questions clearer in theme announces; asking people to cover events or releases that target a question; collaborative infographics. Other suggestions for formats or ideas welcome.
How to react to fast moving news stories, for examples: predatory publishing; Open Science Monitor Elsevier tender; and on the horizon the OA H2020 EU platform as building block of Open Science Cloud.
The approach could be:
To go slow and analytical
Collaborative and crown sourced writing
Supporting activist groups
Deciding its out-of-scope
?
Improving UX / UI and platform consolidation
Create a graphic library and ways of employing it for narratives and design enhancement of stories / content

Proposal for the model of an ‘Editorial Board’ from Simon.
The issue was raised at the start of the planning work by Janneke Adema that a model close to a journal editorial board of handing out titles and roles is a very good way to gain support from members of a community.
GenR needs support from a variety of fields and interests in Open Science, as well as input take part in occasional special work, like contributing to collaborative writing on topics or scoping out of an area.
The proposed model is one of 8 / 12 people who get the title of ‘Contributing editor and they sit on an editorial board.
The board can have monthly meetings online and members attend as they are available.
The board members can post onto the ‘Notebook’ area, and a couple of blog posts a year.
Give guidance on themes if a them covers their fields.
The board members are picked to have a cross section of Open Science areas covered.
Editorial duties would include: to give their expert opinion on questions, to take part as writers or reviewers when important issues need input.

FYI - Editorial Modules
These items are in addition to the Advisory Board Agenda, but I just wanted people to be aware of them and we can follow up in another way later.
These are components being worked on, or under consideration for development.
Note
The Open Science Taxonomy and Zotero Libraries are connected modules. With the taxonomy coming first and then being used for the library. These will then be building blocks for mapping Open Science, first in the Research Alliance and then in Europe. In March ’19 a #barcamp session will be held and then ‘Mapping Open Science in Europe’ can be taken on a stage further as a multi-stakeholder editorial project. This is also being done in the context of the Open Science Monitor for Europe.
Open Science MOOC is a partner project and serves as a location to contribute outcomes of GenR work.
History of Open Science OS MOOC module – Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin (a suggestion under consideration) – No date confirmed, Spring 2019 as teaching starts then.
