4389 "In 2005, at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in northern Italy, "
4390 "teachers and students needed an easy way to use electronics and programming "
4391 "to quickly prototype design ideas. As musicians, artists, and designers, "
4392 "they needed a platform that didn’t require engineering expertise. A group of "
4393 "teachers and students, including Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, "
4394 "Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, built a platform that combined different "
4395 "open technologies. They called it Arduino. The platform integrated software, "
4396 "hardware, microcontrollers, and electronics. All aspects of the platform "
4397 "were openly licensed: hardware designs and documentation with the "
4398 "Attribution-Share-Alike license (CC BY-SA), and software with the GNU "

4464 "them, and made a little profit. They used that to make another thousand, "
4465 "which generated enough revenue to make five thousand. In the early days, "
4466 "they simply tried to generate enough funding to keep the venture going day "
4467 "to day. When they hit the ten thousand mark, they started to think about "
4468 "Arduino as a company. By then it was clear you can open-source the design "

6325 "id=\"0\"/> Figure.NZ founder Lillian Grace said there are thousands of "
6326 "valuable and relevant data sets freely available to us right now, but most "
6327 "people don’t use them. She used to think this meant people didn’t care about "
6328 "being informed, but she’s come to see that she was wrong. Almost everyone "
6329 "wants to be informed about issues that matter—not only to them, but also to "
6330 "their families, their communities, their businesses, and their country. But "
6331 "there’s a big difference between availability and accessibility of "
6332 "information. Data is spread across thousands of sites and is held within "
6333 "databases and spreadsheets that require both time and skill to engage "
6334 "with. To use data when making a decision, you have to know what specific "
6335 "question to ask, identify a source that has collected the data, and "
6336 "manipulate complex tools to extract and visualize the information within the "
6337 "data set. Lillian established Figure.NZ to make data truly accessible to "
6338 "all, with a specific focus on New Zealand."

6344 "Lillian had the idea for Figure.NZ in February 2012 while working for the "
6345 "New Zealand Institute, a think tank concerned with improving economic "
6346 "prosperity, social well-being, environmental quality, and environmental "
6347 "productivity for New Zealand and New Zealanders. While giving talks to "
6348 "community and business groups, Lillian realized <quote>every single issue we "
6349 "addressed would have been easier to deal with if more people understood the "
6350 "basic facts.</quote> But understanding the basic facts sometimes requires "
6351 "data and research that you often have to pay for."

6357 "Lillian began to imagine a website that lifted data up to a visual form that "
6358 "could be easily understood and freely accessed. Initially launched as Wiki "
6359 "New Zealand, the original idea was that people could contribute their data "
6360 "and visuals via a wiki. However, few people had graphs that could be used "
6361 "and shared, and there were no standards or consistency around the data and "
6362 "the visuals. Realizing the wiki model wasn’t working, Lillian brought the "
6363 "process of data aggregation, curation, and visual presentation in-house, and "
6364 "invested in the technology to help automate some of it. Wiki New Zealand "
6365 "became Figure.NZ, and efforts were reoriented toward providing services to "
6366 "those wanting to open their data and present it visually."

6372 "Here’s how it works. Figure.NZ sources data from other organizations, "
6373 "including corporations, public repositories, government departments, and "
6374 "academics. Figure.NZ imports and extracts that data, and then validates and "
6375 "standardizes it—all with a strong eye on what will be best for users. They "
6376 "then make the data available in a series of standardized forms, both human- "
6377 "and machine-readable, with rich metadata about the sources, the licenses, "
6378 "and data types. Figure.NZ has a chart-designing tool that makes simple bar, "
6379 "line, and area graphs from any data source. The graphs are posted to the "
6380 "Figure.NZ website, and they can also be exported in a variety of formats for "
6381 "print or online use. Figure.NZ makes its data and graphs available using "
6382 "the Attribution (CC BY) license. This allows others to reuse, revise, remix, "
6383 "and redistribute Figure.NZ data and graphs as long as they give attribution "
6384 "to the original source and to Figure.NZ."

6435 "making it accessible, understandable, and useful for decision making. "

9102 "off through wide geographic adoption. The OER 2.0 process for OpenStax "
9103 "involves two development models. The first is what David calls the "
9104 "acquisition model, where OpenStax purchases the rights from a publisher or "
9105 "author for an already published book and then extensively revises it. The "
9106 "OpenStax physics textbook, for example, was licensed from an author after "
9107 "the publisher released the rights back to the authors. The second model is "
9108 "to develop a book from scratch, a good example being their biology book."

9112 #: MadewithCreativeCommonsmostup-to-dateversion.xml:7080
9114 "The process is similar for both models. First they look at the scope and "
9115 "sequence of existing textbooks. They ask questions like what does the "
9116 "customer need? Where are students having challenges? Then they identify "
9117 "potential authors and put them through a rigorous evaluation—only one in ten "
9118 "authors make it through. OpenStax selects a team of authors who come "
9119 "together to develop a template for a chapter and collectively write the "
9120 "first draft (or revise it, in the acquisitions model). (OpenStax doesn’t do "
9121 "books with just a single author as David says it risks the project going "
9122 "longer than scheduled.) The draft is peer-reviewed with no less than three "
9123 "reviewers per chapter. A second draft is generated, with artists producing "
9124 "illustrations and visuals to go along with the text. The book is then "
9125 "copyedited to ensure grammatical correctness and a singular voice. Finally, "
9126 "it goes into production and through a final proofread. The whole process is "

9136 "might make more money under the traditional publishing model, but that is "
9137 "only maybe 5 percent of all authors. From David’s perspective, 95 percent of "

9795 "Another adjustable practice is the sharing of articles at early preprint "
9796 "stages. Publication of research in a peer-reviewed journal can take a long "
9797 "time because articles must undergo extensive peer review. The need to "
9798 "quickly circulate current results within a scientific community has led to a "
9799 "practice of distributing pre-print documents that have not yet undergone "
9800 "peer review. Preprints broaden the peer-review process, allowing authors to "
9801 "receive early feedback from a wide group of peers, which can help revise and "
9802 "prepare the article for submission. Offsetting the advantages of preprints "
9803 "are author concerns over ensuring their primacy of being first to come up "
9804 "with findings based on their research. Other researches may see findings the "
9805 "preprint author has not yet thought of. However, preprints help researchers "
9806 "get their discoveries out early and establish precedence. A big challenge is "
9807 "that researchers don’t have a lot of time to comment on preprints."

10265 "helped start a sharing movement four years prior, but over time, they "
10266 "watched one part of the movement stray from its ideals. As giants like Uber "
10267 "and Airbnb gained ground, attention began to center on the <quote>sharing "
10268 "economy</quote> we know now—profit-driven, transactional, and loaded with "
10269 "venture-capital money. Leaders of corporate start-ups in this domain invited "

10280 "Valley version of the sharing economy, while contrasting it with aspects of "
10281 "the real sharing economy like open-source software, participatory budgeting "
10282 "(where citizens decide how a public budget is spent), cooperatives, and "
