Open Science Framework
Jeffrey SpiesUniversity of Virginia
Scientific Values
ScientificPractices
Examples
• Journals strongly favor– Novel findings over replication– Positive over negative or inconclusive results– Confirmatory over exploratory analyses
• As a result, scientists engage in questionable behaviors
• The state of data sharing
Solution
Transparency and Openness

Be Practical
• Scientists have developed workflows that allow themselves to be successful in the current system
• Scientists must remain productive within the current system in order to acquire jobs, promotions, grants, etc.
Updated Solution
• Incentivize openness• Don’t interfere with productivity• Don’t make more work
Open Science Framework
• Web applicationhttp://OpenScienceFramework.org
• Open source software (mostly Python)• Focus on integrating and incentivize openness
at the workflow level• Make workflow more efficient
Open Science Framework1. Content management system
– Makes it easy to document, organize, and search the entire lifespan of a research project
– Collects metadata at each stage2. Collaboration tool
– Real-time feedback3. Version control system
– Interface and abstraction layer to current VC tools– Projects can be forked
4. Scientific network5. Open Science interface
– Connect resources via APIs
Big Data
• Datasets so large that they are difficult to manage with traditional tools
• Simple statistical models with large amounts of data outperform elaborate models with smaller amounts
• This principle has the possibility to be transformative
Big Science
• Large-scale collaborations and openness to such a degree that it will be difficult to manage with current tools
• New tools need to be developed:
