open notebook science - unm biomed symposium edition
DESCRIPTION
Scientific information is published in peer reviewed journals as a complete account. Unfortunately there is nothing complete about the process. Frequently intermediate and supplementary experimental data is excluded, methods are not nearly detailed enough, and results are manipulated for appearance. Open notebook science aims to be a complete account of the scientific process: from ideas and planning, to experimental setup and protocol design, all the way through data interpretation and commentary. Here I talk about tools to create and support an open notebook, effective use of the medium, and how social interaction creates a community using examples from my own open notebook for research.TRANSCRIPT
Open Notebook Science:Research in Real-Time

how is science traditionally
carried out?
closed & isolated
and the outcome...
ideas results
...is peer review publication
writingformattingacceptance
inaccessiblelimited
peer review is designed to weed outmisinformation...
...but now there are so many journalsscientists will eventually get published.
What is the alternative?
open science
open access
data methods
reinventingdiscovery
outreach
publicaccess

open notebook science
and that record includes...
...the practice of making the entire primary record of a research project publicly available online as it is recorded.

are there drawbacks?
can you still publish in a journal?-YES!
-perhaps...will my notebook be around when I’m dead?
-small but expanding communityhow many people are doing this?
-at first no, but over time contributions will come
would anyone even read my notebookand comment in it?
How do we take open
notebook science
to the next level?
require open access for funding
teach students the benefits of ons
show professors that going open is not a sacrifice
find and propogate ons successstories
reu/igert training specifically foropen science - proposal pending!
The End
busting science openiheartanthony, do you?
