29 Jul 2020 TI Methods Speaker Series: Open Science: Transparency and reproducibility in the research life cycle
Matthew Vis-Dunbar
In 2005 John Ioannidis published an article in PLoS Medicine titled “Why Most Published Research Findings Are False“. This was quickly followed by claims that science was broken; lacking power and ripe with bias. Replication studies ensued, engaging high power studies, but a lack of well described protocols and detailed methods challenged researchers to find similar results. Open Science has since grown into a movement that at its core challenges researchers to be transparent and engage in practices that limit bias and enhance transparency. Open Science touches on all aspects of the research life cycle, from the impacts of publication bias to the publish or perish system of metrics and evaluation, and the need to preserve both content and processes associated with a research project. It also embraces equity in the research life cycle: prioritizing inclusiveness and ensuring equitable engagement of all stakeholders in the research process, including production, dissemination and access. In this workshop we’ll talk about the history of the Open Science movement, the issues its trying to address, and what future directions might look like.
