@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Promoting Open Science in the University Jake VanderPlas; @jakevdp OSBD, Dec 5, 2016

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Barriers to Open Science in the University Incentives: Little incentive for academics to devote time to openness. Career paths: Relevant skills are more highly valued outside academia. Education: Undergraduate and graduate curricula lag in data science. Interdisciplinarity: Siloization of disciplines leads to missed opportunities.

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas eScience Major Support: Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation & Alfred P. Sloan Foundation - $38 million over 5 years, split between UW, NYU, and UC Berkeley Washington Research Foundation - $9.3 million over 5 years for faculty & postdocs - $7.1 million to the closely-aligned Institute for Neuroengineering University of Washington - $550,000/year for staff support - $600,000/year for faculty support National Science Foundation - $2.8 million over 5 years for graduate program development and Ph.D. student funding (IGERT)

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity Addressing the Problems This level of support has given eScience opportunity to explore many aspects of these challenges . . . Six interrelated “Working Groups” - Career Paths and Alternative Metrics - Education and Training - Software Tools, Environments, and Support - Reproducibility and Open Science - Data Science Ethnography - Working Spaces and Culture.

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity Incentivizing Open Research Practices Rewarding open/reproducible research with “Open Science Badges” One of the ideas being explored by our Reproducibility working group https://osf.io/tvyxz/wiki/home/

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity Incentivizing Open Research Practices http://joss.theoj.org/ Code as a first-class research product (on par with traditional publications) - Short papers, review focused on code - Submitted & reviewed in the open on GitHub - Makes code citeable and indexable by traditional tracking services

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity New Academic Career Paths 2-year/3-year postdoctoral fellowships across a range of departments. Joint mentorship: domain + methodology. Focus on high-impact researchers who will push boundaries in both areas. Post-doctoral Fellowships

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity New Academic Career Paths Example: Mario Juric, Astronomy - Data Management Lead for LSST - Professor of Astronomy, UW - Sr. Fellow at UW eScience Working on scalable software infrastructure for the LSST project, especially regarding the formation, structure, and evolution of the Milky Way. Faculty position half-funded through eScience, half through Astronomy. (one of six such appointments across campus) Interdisciplinary Faculty

@jakevdp Jake VanderPlas Incentives Career Paths Education Interdisciplinarity New Academic Programs Undergraduate Level: “Transcriptable option” for students across departments. Masters Level: Stand-alone evening masters program aimed at working professionals. PhD Level: “Data Science specialty” for graduate students across disciplines.
