Walking the walk: how the scientific community is embracing open data

The 2017 Better Science through Better Data event in London, UK, hosted by Springer Nature and Wellcome, was a full day exposé of emerging open data practices, tools, strategies, and policies. Among the potential benefits of open data are replicability, reproducibility, and reusability. While open data is a relatively new hype, some evidence suggests that open data does indeed increase reproducibility.  Read more

Ask not what you can do for open data; ask what open data can do for you

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Ask the expert, Blog, Collaboration, Communication, Data, Open access, Publishing, Research, Technology

Ask not what you can do for open data; ask what open data can do for you

It has been shown that research articles receive more citations when they have their underlying data openly linked to them. With this in mind, it’s time to consider not just the ideological reasons for making research data open, but the selfish benefits of openly sharing data that all researchers can (and should) be taking advantage of.  Read more

TechBlog: My digital toolbox: Lorena Barba

Lorena Barba, a mechanical and aerospace engineer at George Washington University in Washington, DC, has long championed research reproducibility. In January, she traveled to Chile to run a weeklong course on reproducible research computing; the month before, she was awarded a 2016 Leamer-Rosenthal Prize, which celebrates those “working to forward the values of openness and transparency in research.” Here, she talks about flying snakes, “repro-packs,” and copyright.  Read more

Why should we work so hard to make our work reproducible?

Posted by Jack Leeming | Categories: Academia, Career paths, Collaboration, Communication, Data, In the news, Industry, Publishing, Report, Research

Why should we work so hard to make our work reproducible?

The call for reproducibility has never been stronger in the history of science. Since two major pharmaceutical companies, Amgen and Bayer, reported in 2011/12 that their scientists were unable to replicate 80-90% of the findings in landmark papers, scientific news outlets have caught up on the issue. Their reports have catalyzed conversations among stakeholders (policy makers, funding agencies and scientists) to improve reproducibility in science.  Read more
