Open Science
Commitment to research transparency and open science
When I say open science, I mean it literally: if you make your analysis code and data public — everything behind your research, not just the results — I trust you, and I trust the way you do science.
As a researcher living through a period of growing distrust in scientific practices, I believe that sharing data, code, and methods openly is what allows our findings to be checked, reused, and built upon by others. It is also a way of giving back to society what we receive through funding agencies.
“Open Science encompasses the entire research process and the entire research community. It empowers researchers everywhere to share valuable artifacts from each stage of their investigation and increase visibility and collaboration around their work. Every research community and individual has an opportunity to shape the activities and norms that inspire trust in their work. A commitment to Open Science, therefore, is not a pledge to adopt a few specific behaviors, but to advance openness, transparency and reproducibility in daily life as a researcher.” (plos.org/commit-to-openness)
