open science

Text dump from Slack post:

I can get started and share what I do to support open science in my research career. I was lucky to postdoc at a research center that focused heavily on open science, and since then I've invested in the following practices:

• publishing my manuscripts as open access when possible, and archiving for free when behind a paywall (I only publish in journals that make this possible)
• reviewing only for journals with reasonable open access policies and which allow me to sign reviews
• using open source software tools whenever possible (especially for research computing)
• developing and publishing my code on GitHub to make data analysis as reproducible as possible, and advocating for similar practices with co-authors who are hesitant about this

Here at the Hutch, our team focused on open science by:

• publishing a public-facing website and blog to spread news about our community
• developing and publishing fredhutch.io training materials on GitHub for anyone to view, share, and modify
• advocating for open science solutions on campus
