    Chapter XXXIX of Focus on Open Science: Budapest

    Presentation: Accelerating Open Science with Tools not Rules

    The movement to make research more open is decades old. Although we are finally seeing real progress, with more and more researchers opening up their papers, peer reviews, data, protocols, code and other research outputs, to those of us who have been campaigning for greater openness in research the pace of progress has been frustratingly slow. In this talk, I’ll look at some of the key milestones on the long road to open science. And I’ll describe how tools rather than rules are helping researchers improve the transparency, reproducibility and integrity of their research.
