Various interventions – especially those related to open science – have been proposed to improve the reproducibility and replicability of scientific research. To assess whether and which interventions have been formally tested for their effectiveness …
The United Kingdom is experiencing the largest-ever increase in public investment in
research and development, with the Government R&D budget set to reach £20 billion
a year by 2024/5. The creation of the new Department for Science, Innovation and …
Efforts to replicate portions of the scientific literature have lead to widely varying and often low rates of replicability. This has raised concerns over a ``replication crisis'' whereby many of the statistically significant claims in the published …
Reproducible research and open science practices have the potential to accelerate scientific progress by allowing others to reuse research outputs, and by promoting rigorous research that is more likely to yield trustworthy results. However, these …
Conservation science is a multidisciplinary and collaborative discipline. This journal's policy is to encourage transparent and open practices in science, including sharing of data, code, and survey instruments. Such practices are especially …
The scientific endeavor is one in which the capacity to replicatefindings is a foundational tenant. It is unfortunate that therehave been a number of highly publicized cases over the pastdecade of scientists who have not practiced science with …
A central tenet of systems biology is that biological systems are greater than the sum of their component parts. Spaceflight is associated with hazards including radiation exposure and microgravity which impact different echelons of biological …
Discussions around transparency in open science focus primarily on sharing data, materials, and coding schemes, especially as these practices relate to reproducibility. This fairly quantitative perspective of transparency does not align with all …
A group of fourteen authors came together in February 2018 at the TIB (German National Library of Science and Technology) in Hannover to create an open, living handbook on Open Science training. High-quality trainings are fundamental when aiming at a …
The ease with which scientific data, particularly certain types of raw data in experimental biology, can be fabricated without trace begs urgent attention. This is thought to be a widespread problem across the academic world, where published results …
