The document discusses open science and open scholarship. It covers open access and data sharing, including publicly funded research being made publicly available. Code sharing and reproducible research are also discussed, specifically the three R's of sharing: reuse, replication, and reproducibility. The benefits of data sharing, code sharing, and citizen science are provided. Open science is defined as working transparently using social media to get early feedback from the community.

Open Science, Open Scholarship • Open Access & Data Sharing  • Code Sharing & Reproducible Research  • Networking & Citizen Science
Open Access & Data Sharing Data sharing policies Publicly Funded Research Should Be Made Publicly Available. - OECD declaration, 2007 - Followed by research funders - Then by institutions
Open Access & Data Sharing Open Access publications becoming norm • Monographs still the exception – (Pressure on Humanities?) • Institutional support for Green and Gold OA • Preprints & embargoes help speed up dissemination • Publishing not yet “Beyond the PDF”
Open Access & Data Sharing What’s different about data (sharing) ? • A researcher’s working capital • ‘Ownership’, rights problematic • Curation required for re-use • Citation non-standard • Career rewards uncertain
Open Access & Data Sharing Benefits of data sharing • More eyeballs (scrutiny) on your work • Publish for posterity • Deposit for safekeeping • Sharing goes both ways
Codesharing and Reproducible Research 3 R’s of sharing • Re-use • Replication (independent verification of findings) • Reproducibility (analysis can be repeated using same code & data)
Networking and Citizen Science Benefits of citizen science • Public engagement • Crowdfunding • Data gathering, cleaning • Citizen scientists (informed citizenry)
Science 2.0 = Open Science • EC consultation on ‘Science 2.0’- Sep ‘14 • Social media for scientists & scholars • Working transparently: “This is what I’m working on,” getting early feedback • eg MyExperiment, Seek4Science Networking & Citizen Science

Editor's Notes

  1. “Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the public interest, which should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible in a timely and responsible manner that does not harm intellectual property.” RCUK Common Principles on Data Policy http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/datapolicy/
  2. “Reproducibility is particularly important in large computational studies where the data analysis can often play an outsized role in supporting the ultimate conclusions.” Quote by Roger Peng, blog post Simply Stats, 6 June 2014, http://simplystatistics.org/2014/06/06/the-real-reason-reproducible-research-is-important/  
  3. EC: ‘Science 2.0’ describes the on-going evolution in the modus operandi of doing research and organising science. These changes in the dynamics of science and research are enabled by digital technologies and driven by the globalisation of the scientific community, as well as the need to address the Grand Challenges of our times. They have an impact on the entire research cycle, from the inception of research to its publication, as well as on the way in which this cycle is organised.
