Open Notebook Science: Research in Real-Time

Open Notebook ScienceResearch in Real-Time by anthony salvagno research.iheartanthony.com

how is science traditionally carried out?

closed & isolatedideas results and the outcome...

...is peer review publication writing formatting acceptance inaccessible limited

peer review is designed to weed out misinformation... ...but now there are so many journalsscientists will eventually get published.

What is the alternative?

open science open access outreachdata methods public access reinventing discovery citizen science

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

project inception, project intro in notebook

plannning,project plan on mindmeister

protocols,how to seal a sample

equipment,equipment list with links to sources

data,tobacco seed growth in heavy water via google docs and figshare

and conclusions.recap of trial 4 from tobacco seed growth experiment

what are the Key aspects ofOpen notebook science?

repeatability transparency provenancecommunication

What’s in it For me?

lots of publications measurable impact open notebook science real-time peer review warm fuzzies and (outreach)collaboration

What’s the catch?

can you still publish in a journal?will my notebook be around when I’m dead?how many people are doing this?would anyone even read my notebookand comment in it?

right now the ons community is smalland diversethis makes it hard to understand howcollaboration and peer review wouldwork in this environment so...

Physics 308L Junior lab: the ons case study 2012juniorlab.iheartanthony.com

12 students 2 groups (mon & wed) electronics lab

the rules: 1 pick any notebook platform 2 must read and comment in each others’ notebooks 3 “cheat” when able

results (still in progress): prefer electronic notebook format benefitted from collaboration had to be encouraged to “cheat” found it useful learned how to use collaborative tools for science

What’s next for open notebook science?

the bottom up approach:teach students the benefits of ons convince professors that going open isn’t a sacrifice find and propogate ons success stories reu/igert training specifically for open science

the top down approach:help develop open science tools fix archival issues find the ideal open notebook platform require open access for funding

The End

busting science open iheartanthony, do you?
