For #openscience newbies like me, be aware that if you would like to publish your paper in @biorxiv_neursci, you have to do it prior to submission to a scientific journal.

[E. Richard Gold @IP_policy]

We are looking for partners to (i) develop #OpenScience (OS) standard form agreements & policies, (ii) measure and share data re research & innovation outcomes, & (iii) analyse that data to determine if, when & where OS provides better outcomes to communities, firms & countries.

Is science synonymous with ‘truth’? Game theory says, ‘not always’

Just as I started to get papers on misuse of statistics and P-values for a #Collection in @Science_Open look what I found:

Bishop on "four horsemen of the #reproducibility apocalypse: publication bias, low statistical power, P-value hacking and HARKing"

"Everyone doing open-source is trying to achieve a common goal, make everything better." - we cannot agree more.

If your company would like to support #openscience via #opensouce, the #eLIfeSprint is the event for you! Please check out https://t.co/KPbPxLe6Ja 🙏

This is gold -- thanks, @AleLautarescu for putting it together!

[Dr Alexandra Lautarescu @AleLautarescu]

Wrote a short intro guide to #OpenScience resources including #OpenSource #OpenData #OpenAccess @OSFramework & @ukrepro. If I missed any important resources please send them my way. #ECRchat

What’s a working paper?

How does peer review work?

Who owns my published research?

An excellent introduction to scholarly communication in an #OpenScience age from @familyunequal

[The Science of Science @SciofSci]

This is interesting (and important!), but we're inclined to say that #reproducibility issues result from bigger, more difficult issues than this.

#Microbes May be to Blame for the #Reproducibility Crisis
#Scientists find varied #microbiota among the same #strain of #mice from 4 vendors—and that variability affects their susceptibility to #infection

Reminder: Everything we create is also available for use outside of the MOOC platform itself, via @ZENODO_ORG https://t.co/o9Hoam7JPA

Why? It is important for us for the community to have as much choice as possible in how/where to learn about #openscience!

[The Science of Science @SciofSci]

Wow, what a thorough article. "1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility"
Surprised by responses to the question of what would boost reproducibility (with necessary caveat that the article is 3 years old)

[Labscene @AskLabscene]

Do you have experience with these issues? #ecrchat #phdchat #openscience #opendata #reproducibility

[eLife Innovation @eLifeInnovation]

Having a data management plan *before* the start of an experiment is so crucial for #reproducibility, yet so often overlooked. #Researchers - here's a great slide deck to help you out (thanks @rob_beiko!).
Any other useful resources out there?
