I’m leading a project on writing a high-level open science guide for Parkinson’s disease researchers as part of the Data Modality & Methodology task force. I’m seeking feedback, ideas, resources, etc. on a document that outlines the chapters of this book.
Here’s a Google Doc with some preliminary ideas that I will continue to build out. Feel free to mark up the document with ideas, comments, links, etc.
If you are interested in contributing, at any level, please do not hesitate to reach out. And if you do not have access to this document, feel free to request.
To provide a brief update on the project, I’ve mapped out the layout of the book and written the Preface. You can take a look here: Open Science Guide
I’m currently writing Chapter 1 that provides an overview on the principles of open science. I know there’s not much so far, but if you have any feedback please let me know. I’ll update the group as soon as Chapter 1 is finished.
Hi @mattk , looks great so far! I saw you mentioned the FAIR principles in research (findable, accesible, interoperable, and reusable) I was curious if you’re aware of / perused through materials around FAIR practices from the International Neuroinformatics Coordinating Facility (INCF)? They have a FAIR roadmap for researchers (along with a wealth of other similar resources) that might be helpful in the creation of your guide. As an organization they’re primarily focused on neuroscience, but I think a lot of their findings would extend neatly to other domains.
Hi @gginnan! Thanks for taking a look and for sending those resources. I haven’t seen these before, but I’ll be sure to link to them in the relevant sections so that readers can visit and learn more. Thank you!
I added a pull request - looking at your google doc too, I think the Data Wrangling Guide would be a great addition/incorporation in your examples section for chapter 4, or maybe something separate. It’s a PDF on zenodo right now but maybe it could be converted to book format in quarto with some sections linked in your guide… thinking through this. As in, the AMP-PD section in Chapter 4 could link to the AMP-PD section in the Wrangling Guide.
Hi @ehutchins, thank you for taking a look and for submitting an issue to include the Data Wrangling Guide.
I think linking specific sections of the OSG to the Data Wrangling Guide, and citing it where appropriate, would be a great way to point researchers to this great resource that you developed.
As for FAIR Guiding Principles, they are currently in Chapter 1, but I was thinking of moving them to Chapter 2 - Considerations for Open Science. I couldn’t agree more that they should be in the book and I’m glad to see DataTecnica and CARD incorporating them.
It goes over the Considerations when planning/executing a research project adhering to the principles of open science. A huge thanks to @hirotaka for drafting the majority of this chapter!
Chapter 3 of the Open Science Guide for Parkinson’s Research is now live: Chapter 3 - Tools
Please feel free to read through and provide feedback, especially if there’s a tool that you use that is not listed in the chapter. Bonus points if that tool aligns with the principles of open science!
Thank you to @hirotaka for reviewing and @jf.daneault for providing a list of open science tools to incorporate.
Chapter 4 of the Open Science Guide for Parkinson’s Research is now live: Chapter 4 - Examples
It features examples of projects that practice open science in Parkinson’s research. Are there any projects with good open science principles that are missing from this list? If so, please let me know and I can add them to the chapter.
