Is open science the way forward? · Daniel P Newman

Is open science the way forward? · Daniel P Newman | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

I’ll be finishing my PhD over the next two months, exciting times! Since I’ve got a thesis to write, I’ll try to keep this post short (or at least written in a short amount of time!). I have to give another shout out to The Peer Reviewers' Openness Initiative (PRO) which is one of several excellent new initiatives in support of open science, and which has already received over 200 signatories. Basically, PRO outlines a mechanism whereby peer reviewers require access to data/analysis code/materials (or at least a reason from the authors why these things are not provided) before conducting a comprehensive review. This is designed to shift incentives and achieve the goal of creating the expectation of open science practices. The advantages that will come with mass uptake of open science practices, particularly in relationship to the PRO initiative, have recently been outlined in excellent blogs by researchers who are more accomplished and qualified than me (e.g. see here , here , here , here , here and here).
