Journals can help to fight the replication crisis by embracing open science

Moderated by: IJsbrand Jan Aalbersberg, Elsevier

It has become clear that in many disciplines only less than half of published studies can be replicated. Scholarly journals are an important stakeholder in fighting this replication crisis. Specifically they can do so by publishing replication studies and by adopting open science modalities like open methods, open codes and open data. Journals can also adopt the registered report format to optimize the impact of peer review on study and publication quality and to prevent selective reporting effectively. Possibly allowing preprints and adopting open peer review can contribute as well to solve the replication crisis.

New standards by Gerry Grenier, Senior Director of Content Management, IEEE

Reproducibility badges for published papers

Why it is important and how to make it work.

A new NISO standard is set for the introduction of reproducibility badges in scholarly research papers. Learn how the badging works and why it is important, explained by Gerry Grenier, chair of the NISO project that helped forge agreement toward a common vocabulary for quality badging. Gerry will address the practical issues that researchers and publishers face as they implement reproducibility.

Discussion panel: Preprint servers vis-a-vis publishers: friends or foes?

Don’t compete; here are the best ways to collaborate

Introduction and Moderated by: Dr Oya Y. Rieger, Senior Strategist at ITHAKA S+R

Sabine Kleinert, The Lancet, Senior Executive Editor
Mario Malički, Stanford School of Medicine

In a lively panel, preprint experts and publishers collaborating with preprint servers will discuss why both preprints and peer-reviewed publications are important in the eco system of scholarly communications. It is all about collaboration to improve both speed and quality of publications.

Transparency of peer review: what is what, how to start

Peer review is the backbone of scholarly and academic publishing, but why are we publishers being so opaque about what it entails. STM is launching a taxonomy that enables publishers to be crystal clear about the kind of peer review that took place and where it sits on the spectrum of openness and transparency. Short talks will lead you through these newly agreed standards for peer review, followed by a discussion.

Research data sharing; looking back & forward

During STM’s research data year a good majority of scholarly publishers embarked on the program to motivate authors to share, link and cite their research data. Learn about the results and experiences, and discuss what should be next on research data sharing.
