  1. Improving Openness of Scientific Research Brian Nosek University of Virginia Center for Open Science

  2. Mission Improve Openness, Integrity, and Reproducibility of Scientific Research

  3. Central issue Incentives for individual success are not necessarily aligned with doing best science Nosek, Spies, & Motyl, 2012, PPS

  4. Primary Incentive Publish

  5. DocumentationPreservationCurationAccessibility

  6. Barriers • Perceived norms (Anderson, Martinson, & DeVries, 2007) • Temporal construal (Trope & Liberman, 2003) • Motivated reasoning (Kunda, 1990) • Minimal accountability (Lerner & Tetlock, 1999) • I am busy (Me & Everyone else, 2013)

  7. Two Strategies (1) Work with existing incentives (2) Nudge the incentives

  8. Implementation Principles • Leverage existing values • Support workflow across entire lifecycle • Low barrier to entry • Enable openness and other good practices

  9. Open Science Framework Jeff Spies

  10. Open Science Framework (OSF) • For collaboration, documentation, archiving, sharing, registration • Respects and integrates workflow • Replaces ad hoc archiving with shared solution • Merges private and public workflows • Incentivizes openness

  11. Conduct a study Design a study Analyze data New research inspired Draft article Article published Submit for publication Peer Review

  12. Grant applications IRB submission Creating materials Personal file-system Collaboration Data collection Analysis tools Figure creation Data storage Manuscript preparation Review/publishing system Article and material discovery

  14. OPEN GATE Do Research Write Report Publish Report Add to Knowledge

  15. #1 Solve existing documentation, archiving and sharing problems

  16. #2 Version control

  17. #3 Registration

  18. #5 Integrate services into single workflow

  19. #6 Incentives for openness

  20. Incentives for openness Bottom-up – slow, but comprehensive • Researcher’s workflow part of the public record • Methods of reputation building with openness Top-down – fast, but narrow • Funders: require disclosure of grantees • Journals: badges for openness, registration, disclosure

  21. #8 Search, filter, aggregation, discovery
