An article in PLOS Biology, and discussed on The Scientist, revealed that, of a random sample of over 400 articles in the biomedical literature, none provided access to all the data!
The funders held a webinar on 10 December 2015 (11:00 EST; 16:00 GMT) to further discuss the Prize with potential entrants and answer questions. For more det...
Wikidata is to databases what Wikipedia is to encyclopedias - the free version that anyone can edit. Both aim to share "the sum of all human knowledge" across the world in a multitude of languages, and while Wikidata is younger ...
Thanks to David Bruggeman’s Dec.8, 2015 posting on his Pasco Phronesis blog, I’ve gotten some details about the European Union’s (EU) Open Science Policy Platform and about a science, technology and arts programme to connect...
The landscape of scholarly communication is changing rapidly as calls for “openness” in both research and publishing continue to grow. Panelists presented th...
As molecular-level electronic, photonic and biological devices grow smaller, approaching the nanometer scale, chemists, physicists and materials scientists strive to predict the magnitude of the fundamental intermolecular interactions, and whether...
You are free to download, reuse, and modify the figures from the book. If you do so, please cite the book, the chapter, or web page. We kindly ask you to send records of modified and/or reused figures and texts to the editors and chapter authors. Preferably send the overall document that contains the figure so that we can understand the context.

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).
Open data can help boost democracy around the world, wrote Jonathan Gray in The Guardian. Writing in advance of the fifth global Open Data Day, he argued that open data are vital in struggles for social justice and democratic accountability.
