@openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 Probably the biggest hurdle to get over is to get rid of the fear of being scooped. But how?

January 30, 2013 #

.@randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 think one step beyond the fear: provenance is established _more_ firmly with an open record

@openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 Agreed, but would an open notebook/blog post be officially recognized in the case of a scoop?

January 30, 2013 #

randal_olson Randy Olson
@openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 And what could you do? Once you're scooped, you're scooped.

@randal_olson @openscience @brineydeep4 you could always reveal the unethical behavior of the infringer, you do have proof

@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 this is a real (and justifiable) fear esp for small labs. #speakingfromexperience

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 my lab is/was small --> no fear! #enotes #scio13

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 I think that's great and admire that. Most won't take that perceived risk

@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 provenance doesn't matter if someone else publishes before you

January 30, 2013 #

@RigelMD @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 provenance and reputation do matter. Put a DOI on it? ivory.idyll.org/blog/category/… @ctitusbrown

January 30, 2013 #

randal_olson Randy Olson
@openscience @RigelMD @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown Good thought. Possible to get DOI for ever-changing open notebook / blog?

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown funding/tenure are two biggest determinants of OA adoption.

@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown new scientists have better chance to adopt new mentality #enotes #scio13

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown if NIH takes it into consideration for grants, labs will open notebook

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown now we're talking!

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown maybe we need to be more strategic about this, make good examples.

January 30, 2013 #

randal_olson Randy Olson
@RigelMD @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown Good example: nature.com/nature/journal…

@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown fund/promote a high-profile experiment with open nb's in a subfield

@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown Well, that's being done in drug discovery: @OSDDMalaria

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 @ctitusbrown be more proactive somehow

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 you aren't going to get a new grant if all you have is notebooks

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@openscience @randal_olson @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 it always comes down to the funding model

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 why/how would anyone scoop someone that is willingly sharing their research?

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 I can't answer that, but scooping is a real phenomenon

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 that's for sure

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 in our case, scooper was much bigger, experiment time clearly shorter for them

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 what motivated that, dunno, maybe knowing we were funded, so expt seen as important

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 we were not sharing, but i brought up the idea & i understand the decision not to

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 did u ever confront the scooper? Was there any conversation? How did u discover it?

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 not to my knowledge, that was just sort of how-it-goes. (i was most jr lab member)

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 i think it def played into decision of funding agency not to renew grant 2yrs later

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 really?! That's crazy!

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 we didnt get as many pubs as we wanted out of it. lots of "wasted" effort

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD would it be a waste if u shared the story? What about the protocols? What about other random experiments that aren't publishable?

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant at the time, i dont think it would have made a difference. now, it might.

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant i think you wind up butting heads with publication bias too, as well as archival needs. journals serve that.

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD but u also butt heads with publishers

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant absolutely. incentives out of whack. i just think focus needs to be upstream, like @ NIH, NLM, etc

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant my assumption is that at least some people will want to share and be open, so we should enable that with policy

January 30, 2013 #

brineydeep4 Kristin Briney
@RigelMD @thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson But benefit of 'wasted' effort is still shared as opposed to the usual of being buried.

January 31, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@brineydeep4 @Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson youll get no argument from me on that. challenge is meaningfully indexing it.

@RigelMD @thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson that's where a librarian can help! #enotes

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 this is all hearsay too, really. i could be all wrong about this.

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD I would love to hear the whole non twitter story

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @openscience @randal_olson @brineydeep4 if you had an #opennotebook you have a share mentality #Enotes #scio13

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@randal_olson @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 seeing people, esp small labs, get funding based on the open data they produce?

January 30, 2013 #

randal_olson Randy Olson
@RigelMD @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 Money is traditionally/empirically poor motivator.

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@randal_olson @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 not saying it's a motivator, but definitely a limiting reactant

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@randal_olson @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 but that seems odd to give grants only on data production. what about analysis?

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @randal_olson @openscience @brineydeep4 isn't that part of the scientific process?

January 30, 2013 #

RigelMD rigel
@Thescienceofant @randal_olson @openscience @brineydeep4 yes, but if lab B pubs analysis from lab A data before lab A, what then?

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD @randal_olson @openscience @brineydeep4 I would think that's better. Speed of science is increased.

January 30, 2013 #

Thescienceofant Anthony Salvagno
@RigelMD and there is always the chance the interpreted data in a different way than the first lab

January 30, 2013 #

MatToddChem Matthew Todd
@randal_olson @openscience @Thescienceofant @brineydeep4 The fear of being scooped is over-stated. Not a bug, a feature...
