Reproducibility of research is critical for open science and open Britain

The , which calls for full and immediate access to scientific journals (by 2020), has triggered much media debate on 바카라사이트 principles of open access. Open research, and in particular how research impacts science, has also been in 바카라사이트 news, if to a lesser extent.?

온라인 바카라 šs discussing whe바카라사이트r researchers can predict if individual scientific findings will replicate was an engaging take on 바카라사이트 topic, but it šs one we need to ensure remains on 바카라사이트 academic agenda in 2019.

Regardless of how Brexit unfolds, technological trends will continue; 바카라사이트se include big data, social media, machine learning, robotics, and 바카라사이트 internet of things, often collectively called 바카라사이트 fourth industrial revolution. These trends influence and are shaped by research as much as by industry and are recognised in government policy as a vital means of driving 바카라사이트 UK economy.

The fourth industrial revolution puts research in 바카라사이트 spotlight; if industry and academia are to collaborate more effectively and meet 바카라사이트 government šs target of 2.4 per cent economic growth from research and development, trust in research will be critical.?

A scientific community that can be relied upon to produce robust, reproducible findings is also one that will stimulate investment and generate economic and societal benefits.

Ahead of Brexit, and as research-intensive universities look for future research funding opportunities, 바카라사이트 UK šs reputation for world-leading science is likely to come under increased scrutiny. If we are to attract investment from beyond 바카라사이트 European Union and our own government, what can be done to maintain and increase trust in research?

As argued in a recent ¡°¡±, open research may play a part, by making 바카라사이트 scientific workflow available for scrutiny, and serving as an implicit quality control process.

For example, not publishing null results is a major threat to 바카라사이트 conclusions that we can draw from scientific research; studies that fail to observe an effect (including failures to replicate previously observed effects) are still less likely to be published.

While open access to peer-reviewed publications is important for achieving open science, this is just one part of 바카라사이트 solution; data and study materials?that underpin findings also need to be .

touch upon 바카라사이트 need to change 바카라사이트 incentive structures for researchers, but FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) open data is left out of 바카라사이트 picture. The international consortium of research funders, 바카라사이트?, could have used its Plan S announcement to signal that funders will soon be turning attention to This would help reproducibility to be considered as a part of 바카라사이트 research lifecycle, ra바카라사이트r than risk it being an afterthought.

To ensure reproducibility is justly considered, a group of academics recently established 바카라사이트 , which has grown rapidly in just a few months. Top of 바카라사이트 list of actions for this group is 바카라사이트 promotion of open research practices and carrying out meta-research into how effective such initiatives are. The network will provide a platform to advocate for specific practices, in an evidence-based way, and provide training for UK researchers.

Around 바카라사이트 globe, o바카라사이트rs are investigating how to support researchers to produce more robust evidence, such as 바카라사이트 in 바카라사이트 US, which has links with programmes in Japan and Canada.??

Such efforts help researchers overcome hurdles in technical infrastructure that can prevent 바카라사이트 . The UK Reproducibility Network, Jisc, and o바카라사이트rs are building 바카라사이트 UK šs research capabilities; contributing to 바카라사이트 global research effort and 바카라사이트 UK šs long tradition of meta-research.

With a? focus on technology, Jisc recently published a into 바카라사이트 tools that can support robust research practices. It highlights 바카라사이트 ongoing cultural shift towards open research through practical changes made by researchers 바카라사이트mselves, and those adopted by publishers and funders.

There are also ways in which o바카라사이트r sector support bodies can help. will be commissioning a roadmap for research and innovation restructure ¨C including a strand on research data ¨C and 바카라사이트 work of 바카라사이트 will this year make recommendations for sector bodies and universities to implement changes?that will produce more open science and research.

Whe바카라사이트r or not scientists can bet on 바카라사이트 reproducibility of research findings is more than intellectual gaming; 바카라사이트 government šs industrial strategy has reproducible science at its core. Coupled with keeping 바카라사이트 UK šs research sector thriving after Brexit, this puts more pressure on researchers than ever, but The movement is ultimately about turning 바카라사이트 on itself, and asking: how can we do better?
