<p>A bit later than intended, but I am pleased to announce the winner of the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.nl/2017/11/winter-solstice-challenge-what-is-your.html" target="_blank">Winter solstice challenge</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/MsPhelps" target="_blank">Bianca Kramer</a>! Of course, she was <a rel="nofollow" href="http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.nl/2017/12/winter-solstice-challenge-2-first.html" target="_blank">the only contender</a>, but <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/bmkramer/WinterSolsticeChallenge2017" target="_blank">her solution is awesome</a>! In fact, I am surprised no one took her took, ran it on their own data and just submit that (which was perfectly well within the scope of the challenge).</p>
<p><b>Best Tool: Bianca Kramer</b><br>The best tool (see the code snippet on the right) uses R and a few R packages (<a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rorcid/" target="_blank">rorcid</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rjson/" target="_blank">rjson</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/httpcache/" target="_blank">httpcache</a>) and services like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://orcid.org/" target="_blank">ORCID</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://api.crossref.org/" target="_blank">CrossRef</a> (and the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://i4oc.org/" target="_blank">I4OC project</a>), and the (also awesome) <a rel="nofollow" href="http://oadoi.org/" target="_blank">oadoi.org</a> project. The code is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/bmkramer/WinterSolsticeChallenge2017/blob/master/WinterSolsticeChallenge_2017.R" target="_blank">available on GitHub</a>.</p>
<p><b>Highest Open Knowledge Score: Bianca Kramer</b><br>I did not check the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/MsPhelps/status/942106207686455296" target="_blank">self-reported score of 54%</a>, but since no one challenged here, Bianca wins this category too.</p>
<p>So, what next? First, start calculating your own Open Knowledge Scores. Just to be prepared for the next challenge in 11 months. Of course, there is still a lot to explore. For example, how far should we <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)" target="_blank">recurse</a> with calculating this score? The following <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/dgonzales1990/status/953737802205794304" target="_blank">tweet by Daniel Gonzales</a> visualizes the importance so clearly (go RT it!):</p>
<div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/dgonzales1990/status/953737802205794304" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://i1.wp.com/4.bp.blogspot.com/-zsA6FTq--AI/WmMdZUjlN9I/AAAAAAAAFdA/ml2fqxfwnfIG1iLohoI_zZq8spansFjbQCLcBGAs/s320/Screenshot_20180120_114116.png?resize=450%2C556&ssl=1" data-original-width="450" width="450" data-original-height="556" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>We have all been there, and I really think we should not teach our students it is normal that you have to trust your current read and no be able to look up details. I do not know how much time Gonzales spent on traversing this trail, but it must not take more than a minute, IMHO. Clearly, any paper in this trail that is not Open, will require a look up, and if your library does not have access, an ILL will make the traverse much, much longer. Unacceptable. And many seem to agree, because <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/Sci_Hub" target="_blank">Sci-Hub</a> <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=sci-hub&src=typd" target="_blank">seems to be getting more popular every day</a>. About the latter, almost two years ago I wrote S<a rel="nofollow" href="http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.nl/2016/02/sci-hub-sign-on-wall-but-not-new-sign.html" target="_blank">ci-Hub: a sign on the wall, but not a new sign</a>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Of course, in the end, it is the scholars that should just make their knowledge open, so that every citizen can benefit from it (keep in mind, a European goal is to educate half the population with higher education, so half of the population is basically able to read primary literature!).</div>
<div></div>
<div>That completes the circle back to the winner. After all, Bianca Kramer has done really important work on how scientists can exactly do that: make their research open. I was shocked to see this morning that Bianca did not <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/author/Q47465798" target="_blank">have a Scholia page</a> yet, but that is fixed now (though far from complete):</div>
<div></div>
<div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/author/Q47465798" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://i0.wp.com/2.bp.blogspot.com/-_ZmBPDhHHzw/WmMpWXj3-MI/AAAAAAAAFdQ/GCZGH2BKaJMpghAI5Xm1iGG6toyiaQoEgCLcBGAs/s640/Screenshot_20180120_123216.png?resize=450%2C716&ssl=1" data-original-width="450" width="450" data-original-height="716" data-recalc-dims="1"></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>Finally, follow <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/MsPhelps" target="_blank">her on Twitter</a> and read her latest work posted as <a rel="nofollow" href="https://peerj.com/preprints/" target="_blank">preprint at PeerJ</a>: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://peerj.com/preprints/3520/" target="_blank">Open access levels: a quantitative exploration using Web of Science and oaDOI data</a>! BTW, if you want to use Scholia to show <a rel="nofollow" href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/authors/Q47465798,Q47465827" target="_blank">more work together with Jeroen Bosman, try this</a>.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Other papers that you should be read more include:</div>

<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://doi.org/10.1186/s13643-016-0215-7" target="_blank">Comparing the coverage, recall, and precision of searches for 120 systematic reviews in Embase, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar: a prospective study</a></li>
