Your research as Open Science

Outline

•  The Problem •  Why it is important? •  Open Software •  Open Data •  Open Access •  DOI •  Conclusion

The Problem

•  Reproducible research is still a challenge! – 10% of cancer studies (Reuters, 2012) – 21% of oncology studies (Nature, 2011) – 25% of CS studies (UA, 2014) – etc.

•  This is horrible.

Why it is important?

It is egoistic. Improve your own citation index. altruistic. Your results may drive the studies of other people. ethical. Do not waste the people’s money if you have a government grant. proper. Clarification and verification of your approach. redudant. Backups!

Open Science is just a term. Let’s use it for the greater good.

Open Software

•  Do not hesitate to publish your source code. •  Do use GitHub, Bitbucket, Assembla. – https://github.com/ – https://bitbucket.org/ – https://assembla.com/

•  Provide a link to your source code in your paper.

•  Licenses: GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT.

Open Data

•  How to clarify that your results have been obtained not by a chance?

•  How to reuse your results? •  Please, upload somewhere your datasets,

dictionaries, corpora, etc. •  Provide a link. •  Licenses: Creative Commons, GFDL.

Open Access

•  Before submitting an article, check the copyright form presented by a publisher.

•  Sometimes you are allowed to publish preprints (and sometimes not.)

•  Upload your preprint to arXiv.org!

Open Access (cont.)

•  Sometimes an author is allowed to share a copy of the final paper in the manuscript form under non-commercial terms.

•  Use ResearchGate to ask and to share papers with other researchers. – https://researchgate.net/

•  Yes, this is yet another boring social network. Just disable notifications.

DOI

•  A digital object identifier is a unique identifier of an electronic document.

•  You may cite your software and data when they have an assigned DOI.

•  This service was paid-only until Zenodo has appeared. – Yes, it is possible to get a free DOI. – Upload your outputs to https://zenodo.org/

Now, make your study open. It is simple, free and just awesome.

Please.

Thank you!
