Managing Scientific Literature with Software from the PORTAL-DOORS Project

Scholarly research associated with finding and citing scientific literature in the 21st century requires new approaches to address the continuing problems that occur with the provenance of content in the literature as well as the peer and editorial review process for publishing this literature. The PORTAL-DOORS Project (PDP) has developed software for the Nexus-PORTAL-DOORS-Scribe (NPDS) cyberinfrastructure in support of identifying, describing, locating and linking things on the internet, web and grid with both lexical and semantic tools and applications. This presentation of our PDP software will highlight Discoverable Data with Reproducible Results for Equivalent Entities with Accessible Attributes and Manageable Metadata with the DREAM principles, and the Fair Acknowledgment of Information Records also called the Fair Attribution to Indexed Reports with the FAIR metrics. This software demonstration will explain use of the network of metadata repositories for scientific literature accessible from www.portaldoors.org, and use of the open source software that powers the NPDS cyberinfrastructure, PDP web sites and PDP web services. Our PDP software for the NPDS cyberinfrastructure will be released publicly at this presentation of the software where we will also discuss challenges in the peer review process that include plagiarism detection.
