Eleven countries have introduced open science policies, strategies and legislative frameworks since the adoption of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science two years ago, according to the UNESCO Open Science Outlook 1: Status and Trends Around the …
This book starts from the premise that there is a lot we can all do to increase the benefits of research.
Let’s consider the main limitations of research that is not carried out and shared in an open, transparent, and reproducible way:
If papers …
Digital archivists are already experts at tackling the complex challenges of making research data open and accessible. We can help to smooth the transition.
We provide a neuroimaging database consisting of 102 synaesthetic brains using state-of-the-art 3 T MRI protocols from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) which is freely available to researchers. This database consists of structural (T1- and …
The FAIR Principles are a set of good practices to improve the reproducibility and quality of data in an Open Science context. Different sets of indicators have been proposed to evaluate the FAIRness of digital objects, including datasets that are …
Background
Open Science Graphs (OSGs) are scientific knowledge graphs representing different entities of the research lifecycle (e.g. projects, people, research outcomes, institutions) and the relationships among them. They present a contextualized …
Introduction
The practice of creating large databases has become increasingly common by combining research participants’ data into larger repositories. Funders now require that data sharing be considered in newly funded research project, unless there …
Social media data enable insights into human behaviour. Researchers can access these data via platform-provided application programming interfaces (APIs), but these come with restrictive usage terms that mean studies cannot be reproduced or …
Head fixation allows the recording and presentation of controlled stimuli and is used to study neural processes underlying spatial navigation. However, it disrupts the head direction system because of the lack of vestibular stimulation. To overcome …
