How can we adopt open science practices?

🧸 Get comfortable

In my experience there are two areas of professional development when it comes to working openly:

• Developing skills
• Developing comfort

I’ve noticed the latter is a larger challenge for many researchers.

How to help others get comfortable?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is hard. Are there any patterns?

🧪 What’s worked

The following solutions have worked in my communities:

• Concern about “scooping” or intellectual theft
  • Include authorship metadata with code
  • Use Zenodo to archive intermediate steps
• Concern about failing publicly
  • Share positive failure interactions
• Concern about loss of ownership
  • Establish a community governance model
