Range of Options for Further Research Session Chair: John King, University of Michigan Based on the results obtained in response to the preceding discussions, define a range of options that can be used by the sponsors of the project, as well as other similar organizations, to obtain and promote a better understanding of the computer-mediated scientific knowledge discovery processes and mechanisms for openly available data and information online across the scientific domains. The objective of defining these options is to improve the activities of the sponsors (and other similar organizations) and the activities of researchers that they fund externally in this emerging research area. - Discussion 15:30 End of Meeting We are grateful to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for support of this project under NSF grant number 1042078.
