Open Science issues vary from pre-registering a study protocol and data-analysis plan to publishing your findings, codes and data sets open access. But why would we do this? And how do all these new methods work?
The essence of Open Science is that you make your research transparent, reproducible and re-usable. To improve Open Science practices, various registries exists were study protocols can be registered, if needed under embargo, with options for updating the protocol if required.
Reporting guidelines help you to fully, clearly and transparently report your study. Preprints of your manuscripts accelerates communication and invites pre-submission peer review. Various repositories exists to safely store your codes and data after finishing your study.
The Libraries of Amsterdam UMC play an important role in advising and enabling researchers to practice open science. By facilitating access to medical literature and negotiates with publishers about open access fees. By developing (online) tools and teaching materials, and advising on open access issues and collaborating in research.
To allow fellow researchers to credit your work and to expose your work on the Amsterdam UMC research website, researchers are advised to create an ORCID, and subsequently link it in Scopus (Web of Science), HR Peoplesoft, and PURE. This way new publications are easily found (automatically) by these systems.
