A Skeptic's Guide to Open Science: Steven Novella on tackling biases, publication noise, and pseudoscience
<p><strong>Episode Summary: </strong></p> <p>Our guest this week is the influential skeptic Professor Steven Novella who is the producer and co-host of the very successful podcast A Skeptic's Guide to the Universe and author of a book by the same name. Novella is also an American clinical neurologist and assistant professor at Yale University School of Medicine. In this episode he talks to us about his views on how best to promote Open Science in medicine, the challenges of creating a new publication method, and the importance of communicating science to the public. </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.theskepticsguide.org/podcasts">A Skeptic's Guide to the Universe Podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.theskepticsguide.org/our-book">A Skeptic's Guide to the Universe: How to Know What’s Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake Book</a></p> <p><em>Steven Novella:</em></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/stevennovella?lang=en">Twitter</a></li> <li><a href="https://medicine.yale.edu/neurology/people/steven_novella.profile">Yale Profile</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Episode Quotes:</strong></p> <p>"They are uncomfortable with anything that is in and of itself pseudoscience because they think it taints them"</p> <p>"It doesn't really matter what you say your priorities are, your priorities are whatever it is that you promote people for"</p> <p>"We have an opportunity to completely rethink how we publish science"</p>
Laying it all out: How The Science Breaker is supporting lay summaries and science communication
<p><strong>Episode Summary: </strong></p> <p>In this week's episode we talk to Max Caine who has a created a platform called The Science Breaker where scientists can publish summaries of their research which are easy for non-scientists to understand. We asked Max about how the platform works, what he feels the barriers to science communication are, and how to improve public trust in science. </p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://thesciencebreaker.org/">The Science Breaker</a></p> <p><strong>Quotes:</strong></p> <p>"The spark in our eyes when we are describing the starting question of our experiments, and this is something which engages the public"</p>

Signing up to Open Science: Open Peer Review and Aligning Core Values
<p><strong>Episode Summary:</strong></p> <p>In this episode we are talking to Dr Guillaume Filion from the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona about his decision to put his name on all his peer reviews, why he feels this makes him more accountable, and what choices researchers need to make about whether their values align with those who they will work with. </p> <p><strong>Resources and Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.orion-openscience.eu/node/201">Factsheets</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.crg.eu/en/programmes-groups/filion-lab">Dr Guillaume Filion</a> <ul> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/thegrandlocus">Twitter Page</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="http://blog.thegrandlocus.com/2018/09/on-open-peer-review">Original Blog Post by Dr Guillaume Filion</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.fosteropenscience.eu/learning/open-peer-review/#/id/5a17e150c2af651d1e3b1bce">FOSTER+ Information on Open Peer Review </a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Episode Quotes:</strong></p> <p>“I had the feeling I would do a better job as a reviewer, if I put my name on it, if I put my name on the line then it would force me not to do a bad job”</p>

Use cases were collected using a number of methods to maximise responses. Lead authors of papers published using data accessed via the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) were contacted and asked to contribute their research data use cases, and a number of papers describing fitness for use determination were sent to the ALA Data Quality group. Fitness for use and quality check information from these papers were extracted and transferred to the use case library. These are the results of those surveys.

Effectiveness of Open Science Policies at ESEC/FSE 2019
<p>This report summarizes how the ESEC/FSE 2019 open science policies came to life and how they resulted in openness for the conference. In particular, I provide how authors of 277 papers provided data at peer review time, and how authors of 74 published papers provided their papers and data openly. Finally, I discuss on the obtained results, and provide lessons learned for the development of SIGSOFT open science policies.</p> <p>See: <a href="https://ineed.coffee/5836/effectiveness-of-open-science-policies-at-esec-fse-2019/">https://ineed.coffee/5836/effectiveness-of-open-science-policies-at-esec-fse-2019/</a></p>
