The document discusses open science and the Frankl project. Open science aims to make scientific processes and results more transparent by freely sharing research materials, data, and lab procedures online. However, barriers to data sharing include lack of incentives and standard protocols. Frankl is developing apps and a token economy to incentivize and facilitate open science practices through features like partial refunds for data sharing, privacy controls with smart contracts, and an airdrop program to educate scientists. The goal is to build open practices directly into the scientific workflow.

3. OPEN SCIENCE IS A SET OF PRACTICES DESIGNED TO
MAKE SCIENTIFIC PROCESSES AND RESULTS MORE
TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE
RESEARCH TEAM. IT INCLUDES MAKING COMPLETE
RESEARCH MATERIALS, DATA AND LAB PROCEDURES
FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE TO ANYONE.

4. “NO ONE IS INCENTIVIZED
TO BE RIGHT. INSTEAD,
SCIENTISTS ARE
INCENTIVIZED TO
BE PRODUCTIVE.”
Richard Horton, editor of
The Lancet

5. OPEN SCIENCE COLLABORATION 2015, SCIENCE
REPRODUCIBILITY PROJECT: PSYCHOLOGY
‣ Replicated 100 studies
published in 3 top psychology
journals
‣ 97% of original studies had
significant effects
‣ 36% of replication attempts
were significant

6. “WITHOUT HIGH LEVELS OF
TRANSPARENCY IN SCIENTIFIC
PUBLICATIONS, CONSUMERS OF
SCIENTIFIC MANUSCRIPTS ARE IN A
SIMILAR POSITION AS BUYERS OF
USED CARS — THEY CANNOT
RELIABLY TELL THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LEMONS AND HIGH QUALITY
FINDINGS.”
Simine Vazire

7. HOUTKOOP ET AL 2018 ADVANCES IN METHODS AND PRACTICES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE
SURVEY OF DATA SHARING AMONGST 600 PSYCHOLOGISTS

8. BARRIERS TO SCIENTIFIC DATA SHARING
▸ Lack of standard protocols built
into data collection
▸ Lack of incentives to compensate
for the time and effort involved
▸ Concerns around data security,
integrity, intellectual property, and
privacy

9. BUILDING DATA ARCHIVING INTO THE SCIENTIFIC WORKFLOW

10. PRIVACY SETTINGS CONTROLLED BY SMART CONTRACTS

11. SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

12. TOKEN SALE
▸ Frankl is an ERC20 token
▸ People buy Frankl tokens
for ether or fiat (dollars,
euros)
▸ First token sale scheduled
for July
▸ Guaranteed second token
sale

13. TOKEN ECONOMY
Phase 1
▸ Frankl build apps
Phase 2
▸ Release open source code
▸ Work with other scientists
▸ Marketplace for Frankl apps

14. TOKENS INCENTIVISE DATA SHARING
▸ Partial refund for releasing
data collected on Frankl apps
▸ Incentive to share data even
if study isn’t published!

15. APPLICATIONS

16. IPAD-BASED COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT
▸ We have expertise
▸ Important for clinical practice as well
as research
▸ Open science has strong support from
psychology researchers
▸ $8 billion market

17. VIRTUOUS CYCLE OF GOODNESS (VCOG)

18. HOW DO WE GET BUY IN FROM SCIENTISTS?
▸ Education and reassurance
▸ Good products
▸ Target new generation of
scientists
▸ Remove friction points

19. FRANKL AIRDROP
▸ We’re giving away tokens to
scientists and science
students
▸ Join our Telegram (instant
message) community
▸ Extra tokens for referrals and
sharing on social media

20. HUT34 WALLET
▸ Creating an Ethereum address
is complicated and confusing
▸ The Hut34 wallet allows you
to create an Ethereum
address using your Google
account

22. "THE KEY QUESTION IS
WHETHER WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER TOWARDS A
COMMON GOAL OR WHETHER
WE HAVE TO FIGHT UNTIL
THERE IS ONLY ONE WINNER
AND WHETHER THAT WILL
THEN BE PWNED."
Peter Murray-Rust

23. “ONE APPROACH IS TO BUILD MODULAR
PROJECTS… THERE’S AN ECONOMIC
INCENTIVE FOR PROJECTS TO BUILD AND
DEPLOY MORE USEFUL LEGO BRICKS.
EACH TIME A LEGO IS USED, THE
CREATOR RECEIVES A MICRO PAYMENT.
THUS IT'S IN THE INTEREST OF
PROJECTS TO BUILD LEGOS THAT LOTS
OF OTHER PROJECTS WANT TO USE.”
Nathan Waters

24. MAKING ALL SCIENCE OPEN SCIENCE
▸ Build open practices into the scientific workflow
▸ Make ‘products’ that are better / cheaper than existing tools
▸ Work with scientists, understand the realpolitik of science
▸ Provide incentives that genuinely reward open science
▸ Remove points of friction
▸ Modular approach that rewards collaboration
