A micropublication, also called a Single Figure Publication, is “a peer-reviewed report of findings from a single experiment”. Are micropublications the ultimate in salami slicing – the least publishable unit of research? Or are they an important step on the road to converting research literature into a fully semantic web, a re-imagining of research outputs for the 21st century? Will researchers see micropublications as a quicker and more manageable way to keep informed about new results or as a new fad in publishing that they don’t want to participate in? How do the economics of this new kind of publishing stack up? (Source for event info from: LIS-Bibliometrics list)
