Open Science and Research Reproducibility
نویسنده
چکیده
Many scientists, journals and funders are concerned about the low reproducibility of many scientific findings. One approach that may serve to improve the reliability and robustness of research is open science. Here I argue that the process of pre-registering study protocols, sharing study materials and data, and posting preprints of manuscripts may serve to improve quality control procedures at every stage of the research pipeline, and in turn improve the reproducibility of published work.

Comment on "Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science".
A paper from the Open Science Collaboration (Research Articles, 28 August 2015, aac4716) attempting to replicate 100 published studies suggests that the reproducibility of psychological science is surprisingly low. We show that this article contains three statistical errors and provides no support for such a conclusion. Indeed, the data are consistent with the opposite conclusion, namely, that ...

متن کاملDoing Things Twice: Strategies to Identify Studies for Targeted Validation
The “reproducibility crisis” has been a highly visible source of scientific controversy and dispute. Here, I propose and review several avenues for identifying and prioritizing research studies for the purpose of targeted validation. Of the various proposals discussed, I identify scientific data science as being a strategy that merits greater attention among those interested in reproducibility....
متن کاملReproducibility as a Technical Specification
Reproducibility of computationally-derived scientific discoveries should be a certainty. As the product of several person-years’ worth of effort, results – whether disseminated through academic journals, conferences or exploited through commercial ventures – should at some level be expected to be repeatable by other researchers. While this stance may appear to be obvious and trivial, a variety ...
