THINK PAIR SHARE
From your perspective:
Why do you think so few researchers make their data openly available? What would motivate them to share?
- Think for 1 minute
- Get together in groups of three and discuss
- Present your 1 main motivation and 1 barrier
Main motivations:
- Researchers are afraid of being scooped
- Want to re-use same data for subsequent article but fear being outpaced
- They don’t want to share low quality results, fear of criticism
- The fear of misinterpretation
- Infrastructure issue
- Lack of knowledge: people don’t know what to be shared
Main barriers:
- Ethical reasons, personal data and intellectual property
- Transparency
- Consolidation of data collection

reproducible research = same results with the same protocol and data \cite{Peng_2009}
replicable research = similar results with the same protocol but new data
About the p -value “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure” Goodhart Law
Solutions proposed:
1. Research teams need to skill up in statistics and data science. This can be achieved through training and more heterogeneous teams (division of tasks).
3. Better curate workflows (github, OSF etc.)
4. Reflect on what could affect personal judgement
5. Attempt a replication!
Interesting article: ” Why Most Published Research Findings Are False ” \cite{Ioannidis_2005}
Problems with replicating research:
- difficult to find funding
- difficult to get published
- BUT: you get a doi if you publish it (citable)
11:00-11:30 Martin Vetterli, EPFL President
For universities, open science is important bcause:
- it increases visibility.
- the research is paid by tax payers (public money)
- open science increases quality and efficacy of publications
- there is a larger impact (more people have access to the article)
11:30-12:30 Laurent Gatto, Computational Proteomics Unit, University of Cambridge, UK
Have you ever heard a scientist introducing herself/hisself as a “closed scientist” ? No. So ”when will ‘open science’ become simply ‘science’ ? \cite{Watson_2015}
What is research ?
Answer : research output= free to access(read) + free to use/re use/mine + free to disseminate(publish) + inclusive
Open Science should be open as welcoming !
Are you wondering why to work reproducibly ? Here are 5 reasons \cite{Markowetz_2015}
No researchers is too junior to fix science \cite{Tregoning_2017}
