- Description: Event Improving open
science and reproducibility is less a technical challenge and more of a
social challenge. Current practice is sustained by a dysfunctional
incentive structure that prioritizes publication over accuracy. Changing
the research culture to prioritizing accuracy over having the work
published will promote transparency and reproducibility, while not losing
the engine of innovation and discovery that drives science into new
domains. Guest
speaker Brian Nosek, co-founder and executive director of the Center for Open
Science, a non-profit organization in Charlottesville, Virginia, lead a
discussion about improving reproducibility, replicability in science. Session
topics include policy, incentive, and normative changes that funders and others
are adopting to improve research credibility and accelerate progress.
