Enabling Research Innovation ⏐ Friday, October 4 @ 1pm ET
How COS makes it possible for researchers to practice open science

Open science entails the pursuit of better research outcomes through more transparent and rigorous research processes. However, many researchers face barriers to adopting new research methods that underpin these processes because they lack access to the necessary tools and resources.

In this inaugural installment of our Supporter Engagement Series, we’ll explore how optimizing the global research system begins by improving the technologies that enable open research. Join us to learn from research reform professionals and from researchers themselves about the value of open research technology infrastructure. We’ll also share details on a large-scale new community engagement effort designed to bring shared governance and collaborative development to the Open Science Framework.

You'll find value in attending if you're curious about...

• How digital research tools enable open science
• The experiences of researchers in diverse fields on practicing open science
• The intersection between open scholarship and open source software
• Opportunities to fund transformative technologies in open research

Program Schedule

Welcome and Introduction

Terry Foor
Director of Development, Center for Open Science

The Value of an Open Research Process

Brian Nosek
Executive Director, Center for Open Science

How can a more transparent and rigorous research process facilitate more trustworthy research outcomes? Brian will discuss the relationship between rigor and credibility in research with a focus on the role of open research infrastructure.

Open Research in Action

Felipe Vilanova
Ph.D. Candidate, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul Faculty Member, Universidade LaSalle, Brazil

Clarke Iakovakis
Scholarly Services Librarian and Associate Professor, Oklahoma State University

What value does the Open Science Framework present to researchers and their institutions? Terry speaks with Felipe Vilanova and Clarke Iakovakis about how OSF facilitates open research techniques like preregistration and sharing of data, code, and research materials.

Strengthening Infrastructure through Community Engagement

Nici Pfeiffer
Chief Product Officer, Center for Open Science

Lenny Teytelman
Founder & President, protocols.io

You might know that OSF is open-source software. Did you know that COS is actively engaging research community partners to help us improve it? Lenny Teytelman from protocols.io joins Nici and Terry to discuss challenges and opportunities at the intersection of open research and open-source software development.
