Open Science + Open Data by sjohn217 on 02-20-2023
Jane and John are presenting an explanation of open science and open data ahead of a research study they're conducting.
Ok, I'll start...Open Data is defined as a strategy for incorporating research data into the permanent scientific record by releasing it under an Open Access license.
So, we are proposing is that the data we collect in this study be released using an Open Access license to allow it to be used by other researchers and curious people.
This would mean that the findings of this research will be published on an Open Access forum. Practicing Open Science would make it easier for other researchers to replicate and confirm our findings, or even expand our initial scope.
Along with Open Data, there is also Open Science. Open science encompasses unhindered access to scientific articles, access to data from public research, and collaborative research enabled by ICT tools and incentives.
Someone asks what makes it necessary to have both Open Science and Open Data.
By making both the findings and the raw data publicly available, we are promoting research to anyone interested. They can use our data, replicate our analysis, and get our results.
Participating in Open Data makes participating in Open Science a given. With our raw data available for public use, there's no reason not publish the findings as well. Replication is an important of research.
