Dr. Willi Rath, Theory and Modeling, Ocean circulation and Climate Dynamics, GEOMAR, Kiel (Germany): "Towards Efficient & Reproducible Science"

08:45 Uhr, Gr. Konferenzraum West, Düsternbrooker Weg 20

 

This presentation is about the every-day benefits of reproducible science: making the scientific workflow more efficient by facilitating communication and collaboration between individual scientists or among small groups.  This is often overlooked as scientists are more and more forced to enact reproducibility by a growing public debate on the “reproducibility crisis”, by journals demanding data published along with the manuscript, or by funding agencies more vigorously enforcing open-data policies.
After demonstrating how reproducibility is often undermined, the talk seeks to provide a simple framework for assessing the reproducibility of scientific workflows and to give an overview of existing building blocks for reproducible science at GEOMAR and beyond.
This talk addresses scientists at any stage in their career and in any organizational role, and is also suited for students and technical support staff.
