Abstract
The progress in technology had a great impact on people’s daily life, especially in the last two decades, by delivering new ways of communication, education, collaboration and sharing information. If we compare that to the evolution in the scientific publishing process during last hundred years, we realize very little have been upgraded regarding editing, peer review process, accessing scientific contents/data, etc. For the realization of any major change in the scientific publishing, we need to inform the research community about the existing issues and initiate constructive discussions around the subject. Recently, we developed a project called Colper Science with the aim of advancing the scientific publishing towards a more open and efficient system. We inform people about the concerns regarding scientific publishing through our podcast and social media hoping to trigger productive discussions in order to discover practical solutions. The future publishing systems can be evolved based on novel ideas derived from consultations among the research communities.

Transcript: English(auto-generated)
Hi everyone, my name is Kambis Cizayi. I'm a research associate at Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal. I'm going to talk about a podcast that we are developing. It's a podcast on open science, which was started by Ilyas Tabyayi and myself a few months ago.
And it's called Copper Science Podcast. So basically what we are doing is we interview those who are active in open science. For example, those who are doing something interesting with open data, open source programs, or developing an open access publishing platform.
In our previous episodes, we interviewed Jane Berpe, an associate librarian at McGill University, who is here with us. She talked about open access publishing and how researchers can help open access movements by sharing their manuscript in open access archives.
She also talked about non-traditional scholarly communication. She introduced video journals or stories about students in Harvard who submitted a rap album as his thesis, which was a very successful story.
We also interviewed Dr. Patrick Diehl, who is also here with us. He introduced some open source software, which can be a good replacement for the proprietary software and talked about how to move from proprietary software
towards open source ones. Here are other examples of the episodes we did, like Bastian Grisaki, he talked about his project on OpenSNP. Dr. Monica Granados, she talked about how to work in open and how to do research in open.
Dr. Rachel Harding, she talked about her blog, which was called Lab Scribbles. She updates very frequently the data she obtains from her experiments on her blog.
If you'd like to hear about these stories on open science, you can find our podcast on our webpage copairscience.com. There is a link to our podcast, you can choose the episode that you'd like to hear. Also, if you'd like to get informed about the episodes that come out,
you can subscribe to our RSS feed. If you'd like to follow us, there are links to our Facebook and Twitter at the bottom of the page. If you'd like to listen to podcasts using your phone, you can find us in Google Play Music or Apple Podcasts
and other podcast apps such as Podcast Addicts. The most important thing is if you're working on a project which is related to open science, like you're working on open data, open source programs, or you're developing an open access publishing platform, feel free to approach us.
If you'd like to cover your story, we would love to do that. You can contact either me or Elias, my colleague here. And also, there is this link to our email address, contact at copairscience.com.
That's pretty much it. Feel free to approach us and talk about your stories on open science. Thank you very much.
