First International Workshop on Reproducible Open Science (RepScience 2016)

September 09, 2016

Hannover (Germany)

Call For Papers

This Workshop aims at becoming a forum to discuss ideas and advancements towards the revision of current scientific communication practices in order to support Open Science, introduce novel evaluation schemes, and enable reproducibility. As such it candidates as an event fostering collaboration between

• (i) Library and information scientists working on the identification of new publication paradigms;
• (ii) ICT scientists involved in the definition of new technical solutions to these issues;
• (iii) scientists/researchers who actually conduct the research and demand tools and practices for Open Science.

The expected results are advancements in the definition of the next generation scientific communication ecosystem, where scientists can publish research results (including the scientific article, the data, the methods, and any “alternative” product that may be relevant to the conducted research) in order to enable reproducibility (effective reuse and decrease of cost of science) and rely on novel scientific reward practices.

Topics of Interest

The topics of this workshop are of interest to, but not limited to, the following research avenues:

• Classification (models and ontologies), description (e.g. metadata), identity management, of products of science different from the traditional article;
• Representing, exchanging, sharing, assessing (peer-reviewing), depositing, preserving products different from the traditional article
• Publishing workflows for products different from the traditional article, e.g. submission, review, scientific reward (e.g. software publishing, research data publishing)
• Interlinking and contextualization or products: mining techniques, LOD, data models, relationships (citation, versioning) between research results, etc.
• Findability of products of science: indexing, searching, browsing challenges
• Controlled access to products of science (e.g. anonymization, role-driven views)
• “Packaging research results”: identification, representation, description (metadata), deposition, preservation, evaluation, and interoperability of “research results packages” (e.g. Research Objects, Elsevier’s “article of the future”, executable papers, RMap)
• Systems, tools, paradigms, publishing workflows towards favouring repetition (“same experiment, same laboratory”), replication (“same experiment, different laboratory”), reproduction (“same experiment, different input parameters”), or re-use of science (“use as parts of other experiments”).
