Science Reproducibility Workshop with Center for Open Science | Sackler

"Open science and replication are hot topics (in cancer, psychology, and science generally). The Center for Open Science is offering a hands-on workshop at Tufts to incorporate open science principles and practices into your research pipeline. Topics include: 

• Project documentation 
• Employing version control 
• Creating pre-analysis plans 
• Using the Open Science Framework 
• Potential benefits to researchers for engaging in open practices

Bring your laptop to fully participate since this is a hands on workshop. Register here: https://tuftspda-cos.eventbrite.com

All faculty, staff, post-doctoral scholars and graduate students are welcome. Contact Sarah Dykstra with any questions: Sarah.Dykstra@tufts.edu

Reproducibility Workshop with Center for Open Science

In the past two decades, advanced cyberinfrastructure has become a critical element of science and engineering research – a result of the increasing scope and accuracy of simulations of natural and engineered systems as well as the growing volume of data generated by instruments, simulations, experiments and observations. The National Science Foundation (NSF) embraces an expansive, ecosystem view of research cyberinfrastructure – spanning advanced computing resources, data and software infrastructure, workflow systems and approaches, networking, cybersecurity and associated workforce development – elements whose design and deployment are motivated by evolving research priorities as well as the dynamics of the scientific process. The critical role of this broad spectrum of shared cyberinfrastructure resources, capabilities and services – and their integration – in enabling science and engineering research has been reaffirmed by the National Strategic Computing Initiative, which was announced in July 2015, and in the National Academies' 2016 report on Future Directions for NSF Advanced Computing Infra-structure to Support U.S. Science and Engineering in 2017-2020. While these efforts are computing-centric, they expose the inherent inseparability of computing from the larger cyber ecosystem. With this DCL, NSF seeks input that provides a holistic view of the future needs for advanced cyberinfrastructure for advancing the Nation's research enterprise. In this Request for Information (RFI), NSF encourages community input to in-form the Foundation's strategy and plans for an advanced cyberinfrastructure that will enable the frontiers of science and engineering to continue to advance over the next decade and beyond (NSF CI 2030). This whole-of-NSF activity recognizes that researchers in different disciplines may need different resources; may have differing priorities for access, interoperability, and continuity; and may require external expertise to address the most critical problems in their discipline. We therefore strongly encourage researchers in all fields of science, engineering and education to respond to this Request for Information."
