Course description:
In an age of increasingly complex and data-intensive, collaborative
scientific practices, scandals of irreproducibility, and a growing
societal ethos of transparency and accountability, a new paradigm has
arisen: Open Science. In this three day course, we will introduce to
you the three organizing principles and practices that undergird this
paradigm:
Open Access scholarly publishing
Open Source software development
Open Data integration and sharing
For this, we will be introducing a set of technologies and ways of
using them. The reasonable expectation is that the participants will
feel empowered and start using them for the above purposes in a highly
productive way. The use-cases that we will be working on are going to
be based on bioinformatics, but the principles are very broadly
applicable to other fields. You do not need to have any particular
programming or otherwise computational experience beyond what is
normally required from a scientist in graduate school and beyond,
i.e., you should not be afraid of interacting with a computer and
editing simple text files.
We will then steer the participants into good practices in data
management and work on practical examples taken from published papers
and data, showing how these practices influence replicability and
reproducibility. At the end we will discuss publication bias and its
consequences in current research quality.
