The talk argues that publicly available research is becoming more valuable over time, but that the academic community has not yet found a way to properly value and fund it. If a way could be found to do so, it would have a major impact on how scholarship is conducted and disseminated.

  • 00:00:00 This talk discusses ways to communicate the value of public engagement and research to a wider audience. It proposes using a public dollar to quantify the value of such work.
  • 00:05:00 The speaker discusses the issue of public value, which is the measure of how valuable an article or research is to society as a whole. They argue that, due to the increasing use of citations in academic discourse, the value of publicly available research has been increasing over the past 50 years. If this trend is continued, publicly available research could be worth a significant amount of money. However, if the academic community can find a way to capture and value this public value, it would represent a significant shift in how scholarship is funded and disseminated.
