  1. Open Science Framework Jeffrey Spies University of Virginia

  2. Scientific Values Scientific Practices

  3. Examples • Journals strongly favor • Novel findings over replication • Positive over negative or inconclusive results • Confirmatory over exploratory analyses • As a result, scientists engage in questionable behaviors • The state of data sharing

  4. Solution Transparency and Openness CC flickr:ccpixel;flickr:voxtheory

  5. Be Practical • Scientists have developed workflows that allow themselves to be successful in the current system • Scientists must remain productive within the current system in order to acquire jobs, promotions, grants, etc.

  6. Updated Solution • Incentivize openness • Don’t interfere with productivity • Don’t make more work

  7. Open Science Framework • Web application http://OpenScienceFramework.org • Open source software (mostly Python) • Focus on integrating and incentivize openness at the workflow level • Make workflow more efficient

  8. Open Science Framework • Content management system • Makes it easy to document, organize, and search the entire lifespan of a research project • Collects metadata at each stage • Collaboration tool • Real-time feedback • Version control system • Interface and abstraction layer to current VC tools • Projects can be forked • Scientific network • Open Science interface • Connect resources via APIs

  9. Big Data • Datasets so large that they are difficult to manage with traditional tools • Simple statistical models with large amounts of data outperform elaborate models with smaller amounts • This principle has the possibility to be transformative

  10. Big Science • Large-scale collaborations and openness to such a degree that it will be difficult to manage with current tools • New tools need to be developed: http://OpenScienceFramework.org @OSFramework jspies@virginia.edu
