\n
\nOn the night we wil
 l consider a range of issues including:
\n
\n#In an age of digital content 
 and communication\, does the notion of the scientific ‘article’ remain rele
 vant?
\n#Is the 300-year old approach to structuring findings – from abstra
 ct to references – still valid in the era of the multi-media research objec
 t?
\n#How should new types of content such as video protocols and embedded 
 datasets be peer-reviewed\, and does it matter?
\n#Will opening access to t
 he outputs of scientific research really improve innovation?
\n#Does more a
 ccess to research data and information necessarily mean we are better infor
 med?
\n#When it comes to communicating research findings\, what are the fun
 damental building blocks and what is the wallpaper?
\n
\nWe have set up a d
 edicated "forum":http://network.nature.com/groups/genuine_article/forum/top
 ics on Nature Networks where you can participate in discussion both before 
 and after the event.
