SUMMARY:The 2nd SPARC Japan Seminar 2018 (Open Access Summit 2018) \"Q
 uality Control in the Age of Open Science\"
DESCRIPTION:Open Science is foreseen and expected to make fundamental 
 transform of science itself. Various efforts such as a digitization of
  academic journal have already done for advancing Open Science, even a
 iming publishing broader research results with ICT. Then the quality c
 ontrol of information is crucial to utilize open research results and 
 also to accelerate Open Science. The way of the peer review had been a
 rgued many times in the past, even before digitization of academic jou
 rnal. Nowadays, digitization and openness lead various new attempts ab
 out the quality control, for example open peer review and lightweight 
 peer review. While use of preprints is becoming the main method to pub
 lish research results in some research fields such as computer science
 , the evaluation method of research results without conventional peer 
 review is a pressing issue. On the other hand, the \"Wellcome Trust\",
  a biomedical research charity in UK, launched the “Wellcome Open Re
 search” which was the platform for peer-reviewed open paper and data
  publishing.  Under these circumstances, we once recognized the import
 ance of deepening the discussion about quality control through a discu
 ssion of preprint server and institutional repositories on the 2nd SPA
 RC Japan Seminar 2017. In addition, we talked about a history of scien
 ce and beginning of the peer review on the 3rd SPARC Japan Seminar 201
 7, which reconfirmed that the quality control was a universal issue of
  all time. ICT and openness develop revolutionary research environment
 s. Thus, it is very important for looking into the future of the schol
 arly communication that developing system for quality control, beyond 
 conventional peer review in a specific research community, in inter- a
 nd trans-disciplinary filed or in citizen science field. Therefore, on
  the 2nd SPARC Japan Seminar 2018, we will discuss perspective of qual
 ity control in the age of Open Science and how we could guarantee qual
 ity of contents. We will share information about recent concrete cases
 , too.\n\nFor more information visit http://legacy.openaccessweek.org/
