An introduction to open science for the Library Journal webcast Case Studies for Open Science on February 9, 2016. http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2016/01/webcasts/case-studies-for-open-science/

1. Case Studies for
Open Science
Robin Champieux – Scholarly Communication Librarian, Oregon
Health & Science University
Heather Coates – Digital Scholarship & Data Management Librarian,
Indiana University Purdue University – Indianapolis (IUPUI)

5. Elements of open science
Making each phase of
the research life cycle
more open
• Open notebooks
• Open data
• Open research software
• Open access
Each element of the
research process should
• Be publicly available
• Be reusable
• Induce collaboration
• Be transparent and
have appropriate
metadata

7. Ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record
• Open Access
• IR for pre- and post-prints, conference presentations, posters, all manner
of grey literature
• Supporting OA journals
• Pre- & post-pub peer review
• Reduce time-to-publication
• Open Data
• Open data standards & guidelines
• Data publishing – journals & repositories
• Data discovery, citation, & impact
• Open Reproducible Research
• Study registration
• Cite code & software
• Publish negative/neutral results
• Using open file formats
• Long-term preservation

8. Ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record
• Open Science Evaluation
• Metrics for all products
• Open metrics (citation, ALM, altmetrics, webometrics)
• Open peer review
• Open Science Policies
• Retraction & correction
• Licensing for reuse
• Funder, publisher, institutional policies
• Open Science Tools
• IR & data repositories
• Unique identifiers (e.g., ORCID, DOI, FundRef, etc.)
• Open licenses for IP, data, code, etc.

9. Openness throughout the research process
• Open notebooks
• Open scientific workflows & data provenance
• Open source
• Data sharing/open data
• Use of standards
• Cataloged for discovery
• Machine-readable
• Open file formats
• Reproducibility guidelines
• Reproducibility & irreproducibility (meta)research
• Open peer review
• Open research evaluation data and guidelines

10. Expanding the scholarly record
• Funding proposals
• Data management plans
• Study registration
• Conference presentations, posters, panels, etc.
• Blog posts, social media conversations
• Formal and informal pre- and post-publication review
• Connecting scholarly products through unique identifiers
• Create a more complete scholarly record

11. The potential of open science
• Data reuse & the open data citation advantage
• Open Source Malaria
• Alzheimer’s drug discovery Big Data portal
• Galaxy Zoo
• Foldit
• Open data as open educational resources (pre-print)

12. Open librarianship/LIS
Why?
• Role as practitioners-scholars
• Values align with missions of open science
• Demonstrate the change we want to see from other disciplines
• Provide practical experience and use cases
How?
• Conduct “how open is it?” analysis of our own literature
• Open up our circulation, collection, reference, instructional, &
other data for use as OER by LIS students
• License our data for reuse
• Build our own tools & systems to aggregate and use our data, to
improve practice through data-driven research
