Warning and disclaimer!
• IANAL• I have too many slides
–But they will be available online later
• You are expected to tweet!–#oaweeknl–#oaweek2012–and #oaweekum ?

Bioinformatics is ...
… development of new microscopes by which we study life.
(by finding new correlations and translate those into causal relations)

Open Science
• Reproducibility!–How did that compound get synthesized?–Why can't I reproduce that cell line experiment??–Why are those data point errors suspiciously
distributed?–Can I apply that to my own data too?
There is no place in Science for trust.
“If there are two competing opinions but without arguments, we'll take mine.”
Department of Bioinformatics - BiGCaT 9
Social Contract!
• Collaboration–Shared goal, shared ownership–More efficient and cheaper than other solutions
(e.g. consortium agreements, patents, IP)
• Impact for your research!–dissemination beyond 'friends'–#altmetrics
• Education– I will do as much as I can to make it easier for my
students to learn what I expect them to lean and more.

Get more impact: Nature citations
• The Journal Impact Factor (JIF or IF) is a bad indicator of impact
• Less than half of the Nature papers has more than zero citations in past two years1. most Nature-worthy research has very
limited impact2. many papers get more cited than the
average Nature paper

The 3 #openscience corner stones
• Knowledge (data, methods, conclusions) can be freely used
• It can be freely modified• It can be freely redistributed
(for #opendata, #opensource and #openstandards)

Open Source Cheminformatics
• Metabolomics• Drug discovery• Toxicology

What about Dept. of Bioinformatics?
We take advantage of Open collaborations in our study of life.

Be clear in what you want!
• Whatever license you pick, make sure that people know your wishes!
• Data without a license statement, is a potential gold mind, with a large legal department behind it waiting to feast.
(So, you move on to the next data set)

Data sharing?
FigShare!

Conclusions
• Open Science–use it to your advantage; look at what
we achieved by everyone contributing their bit
– it improves science and education
