Workshop to Align Funders & Publishers Regarding Policies Associated with Open Science

http://www.sparc.arl.org/

Some Conclusions

Need to state the problem you are trying to solve Need exemplars that solve that problem Turn those exemplars into use cases that the

community will support Need to understand the norms of the community at a

granular level Policies need to shift those norms Conformance to policies has to be measured and

evaluated Incentives need to be in place The infrastructure to support the above is non-trivial

NIH’s Response to Some of These Conclusions

State the Problem You Are Trying to

Solve

…accelerate efficient, cost-effective biomedical research

to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability

Goals expanded from recommendations in the June 2012 DIWG and BRWWG reports.

Need to understand the norms of the community at a granular level

Policies need to shift those norms

Conformance to Policies has to be Measured and Evaluated

We need machine readable data sharing plans

Data and software need provenance that includes grant numbers

Incentives Need to be in Place

Badges

Data & software citation needs to be encouraged

VPR’s & tenure committees need to be educated
