Workshop: The Gold Standard of Reproducible Research

Conference on March 9, 2017. Reproducibility is held as the gold standard for scientific research. The legitimacy of any published work depends on the question: can we access the data, replicate the analysis and come to the same results? In many cases, we cannot. In Political Science, Economics, Psychology and many other fields, scandals involving fabricated data or scientific misconduct have stirred a debate on reproducibility that calls for fundamental changes in the way research is done. This interdisciplinary conference discusses why authors are not sharing their work, how new initiatives across the social sciences are challenging the status quo, and what researchers can gain from sharing their data. A part of the conference will be two hands-on workshop sessions tailored for qualitative and quantitative researchers to embed tools such as the Qualitative Data Repository, Open Science Framework and the TIER protocol into their workflow. We end with a panel discussion about how universities, journals, funders and researchers can nurture a reproducibility culture to ensure that the gold standard of reliable, credible and valid research is upheld.

2017年3月9日举行的学术会议。可复现性被视为科学研究之金科玉律。任何已发表作品的合法性均取决于以下问题：我们能否获取数据、复制分析并得出相同的结果？在许多情况下，我们无法做到。在政治学、经济学、心理学及众多其他领域，涉及伪造数据或科研不端行为的丑闻引发了关于可复现性的辩论，呼吁对研究方式进行根本性的变革。此次跨学科会议旨在探讨作者为何不分享其研究成果，社会科学领域的新倡议如何挑战现状，以及研究者通过共享数据可以获得哪些益处。会议的一部分将包括两个实操工作坊环节，专为定性和定量研究者量身定制，旨在将如定性数据存储库、开放科学框架和TIER协议等工具嵌入其研究流程中。会议最后以一场讨论会结束，讨论大学、期刊、资助机构和研究者如何培育可复现性文化，以确保可靠、可信且有效的科研金标准得到维护。会议注册和信息链接：https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-gold-standard-of-reproducible-research-how-to-make-it-work-tickets-29455916439.
