Impact/Purpose:
Open science has two components. First, that scientific knowledge should be freely accessible, and, second, obtaining that knowledge should be done with data in transparent and reusable format by means of standards-based technology tools. That latter point of tools can be a bottleneck for those just starting to do open science as the types and number of tools can be overwhelming. The purpose of this presentation to the Tampa Bay Open Science subcommittee is to provide some steps of initiating open science with partners.
Description:
An open science framework enables transparency, reproducibility, and efficiency in synthesizing and analyzing of environmental data and transferring of the information to decision-making. In my presentation I illustrate an open science workflow as applied to the project Statewide Predictions of River and Stream Nutrient Concentrations. This project is a Regional Applied Research Effort (RARE) and collaboration with Indiana Department of Environmental Management and EPA Region 5. I present questions we used to start the open science process and give examples of different tool we are using. By using an open science framework, we want predictions from our spatial stream network analysis to be transparent, reproducible, and transferable.
