Activity: Spreadsheets

What do you observe about the data?

Can you describe the experiment that was being done?

What did the researcher do well?

What can be improved in how the data is kept/shared?

Case Study 2: Breaking Bad

Activity: Lab Notebooks

Conversation: Code

What is special about code?

What do you need to know to help a patron code?

What are best practices for code use?

Could you find out the most used bits of code in 2014?

Some disciplines have repositories. Some don’t.

Some institutions have repositories. Some don’t.

figshare.com Share research components to make them discoverable & citable; get metrics

DOIs for Code

Github + Mozilla + Figshare à DOIs Mozilla: Software Carpentry

Future: Electronic Lab Notebooks

Science metadata depends on the discipline.

Sort of.

Some Problems with Science (Data)

Scientists are lazy.

But: They’ll do what funders tell them to.

Crowd-Funding Science Funding science may no longer rely upon government. Interested people, engaged by social media presence, are key to raising money from the crowd.

Reproducibility Initiative Address the reproducibility of your research in a blind, fee-‐for-‐service validaFon

Validated studies receive a Cer*ficate of Reproducibility acknowledging that their results have been independently reproduced.

(Some) Scientists are private.

About some things. And some scientists are not.

ORCID, ResearcherID, etc. Unique idenFfiers for researchers to cross-‐reference publicaFons, acFviFes, etc.

John Smith vs. J. Smith vs. John D. Smith vs. J. D. Smith vs. JD Smith vs. …

Wang Kim vs. W. Kim vs. Kim Wang vs. K. Wang …

ORCID: 0000-‐0003-‐0458-‐2127

ResearcherID: J-‐6870-‐2012

Sharing doesn’t count.

Until now.

Run My Code Share code used to analyze data; others can implement the same methodology

•  Biology •  Mathema*cs •  Neuroscience •  Sta*s*cs •  Social sciences

•  Economics •  Econometrics •  Finance •  Management

•  R •  MATLAB© •  C++ •  Fortran •  Rats •  More sodware will be

added soon.

Oh, and it’s free!

Altmetric(s) Capture overall impact of a publicaFon in blogs, tweets, menFons, news, etc.
