Michael Nielsen 最近又开始活跃地 blog 起来。最近一个帖子提到，他也在考虑网络对科学的影响，并已经开始起草一本相关的书，在未来几个礼拜内会贴出一个摘要。摘要将谈到这些内容：

Micropublication（微发表）: Allowing immediate publication in small incremental steps, both of conventional text, and in more diverse media formats (e.g. commentary, code, data, simulations, explanations, suggestions, criticism and correction). All are to be treated as first class fully citable publications, creating an incentive for people to contribute far more rapidly and in a wider range of ways than is presently the case.

Open source research（开源研究）: Using version control systems to open up scientific publications so they can be extended, modified, reused, refactored and recombined by other users, all the while preserving a coherent and citable record of who did what, and when.

The future of peer review（同行评议的未来）: The present quality assurance system relies on refereeing as a filtering system, prior to publication. Can we move to a system where the filtering is done after publication?

Collaboration markets（合作市场）: How can we fully leverage individual expertise? Most researchers spend much of their time reinventing the wheel, or doing tasks at which they have relatively little comparative advantage. Can we provide mechanisms to easily outsource work like this?

Legacy systems and migration（旧体制，以及移植）: Why is it that the scientific community has been so slow to innovate on the internet? Many of the ideas above no doubt look like pipedreams. Nonetheless, I believe that by carefully considering and integrating with today’s legacy incentive systems (citation, peer review, and journal publication), it will be possible to construct a migration path that incentivizes scientists to make the jump to new tools for doing research.

网络对科学的影响是格致从一开始就关注的主题，现在有一个专门的群组：网络与科学，讨论这方面的话题。

Michael Nielsen 不仅是量子信息与计算领域一年轻大牛，而且也属于 web savvy 的科学家。他这样的人开始认认真真地考虑这些事情，让我觉得，这样的变革（所谓科学 2.0）真地会在不久的将来发生。

期待他的详细摘要和新书。

最后八卦一下，他不久前移动到加拿大的 Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics，就是 Yidun 所在的研究所。

补充：他已经贴出关于 Micropublication 和 open source research 的摘要。
