Shifting Scientific Practice (K. Thaney)
1 like1,173 views
The document discusses shifting scientific practice towards more open, collaborative and web-enabled research. It outlines current challenges around measuring contributions beyond publications alone. It then presents several initiatives to promote open scholarship, including contributorship badges to recognize different types of scientific work, dashboards to improve software discovery, and community events and fellowships to train future leaders in open research practices. Sustaining these efforts will require addressing incentives, professional development needs, and lowering barriers to participation.
