HOW

Slide 18

Slide 18 text

How to be open Make the work obtainable Make the work understandable Make the work reproducible Make the work inclusive 18

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

To be obtainable Preprint and self-archive Publish open access Open up other artifacts 19

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

Preprints... → speed up dissemination → should be licensed and formatted to facilitate reuse → provide a record of priority → do not lead to being scooped → provide access to scholarly content that would otherwise be lost 20 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005473

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Preprints... → do not imply low quality → supports the rapid evaluation of controversial results → do not typically preclude publication → can further inform grant review and academic advancement → one size does not fit all 21 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005473

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

To be understandable Think about the audience Consider accessible language Focus on applications/implications 22

Slide 23

Slide 23 text

To be reproducible Use reproducible workflows Use open and non-proprietary softwares Provide what others will need 23 DOI: 10.7717/peerj-cs.112

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

To be inclusive Accommodations for all who might want to access your work? Project teams that include a diversity of perspectives Sustained, evidence-based efforts to remove established cultural and structural barriers and recognize implicit biases 24 Resources: one, two, three

Slide 25

Slide 25 text

There are many resources available Make the work available in the correct format How will others find it and interact with it? Use the available tools! 25

Barriers to adoption Need for training and updated workflows Career reward structures Pressures of capitalism 35

Slide 36

But what about patents?1 Of course the rules of prior art still apply In the US, preprinting may help establish your priority Is patenting your best route to having an impact? 36 1I am not an attorney and this is not legal advise.
