Reproducibility of experiments and analysis by others is one of the pillars of modern science. Yet, the description of experimental protocols, software, and analysis is often lacunar and rarely allows a third party to reproduce a study. Such inaccuracies has become more and more problematic and are probably the cause of the increasing number of article withdrawal even in prestigious journals and the realization by both the scientific community and the general public that many research results and studies were actually flawed and wrong. Open science is the umbrella term of the movement to make scientific research, data and dissemination accessible to all levels of an inquiring society.
In this talk, I will give an introduction to reproducible research (challenges, ethic, …) and explain in a practical session how to produce replicable articles and manage a laboratory notebook on a daily basis. For more information, check the associated github page. This talk will take place at the MJK on campus but will be screencast and possibly followed at Inria Rhone Alpes in A103.
