Presentations:  

Recognizing Increased Transparency with Badges – by David Mellor, Centre for Open Science Director of Policy (10min) 

Abstract: David Mellor leads the policy and incentive programs at the Center for Open Science (COS) in order to reward increased transparency and reduced bias in scientific research. These include policies for publishers and funders in the Transparency and Openness Promotion Guidelines (TOP); preregistration to increase clarity in study design and analysis; removing publication bias with Registered Reports; and recognizing increased transparency with badges. In this talk, David will share COS’s recent work on digital badging.

Pre-recording by presenter

Advancing Reproducibility in Parallel and Distributed Systems Research – by Professor Manish Parashar, IEEE Editor-in-Chief Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (10 min).

Abstract: Reproducibility is fundamental to scientific and technical research, and has taken an increased urgency in recent year impacting society’s trust in research results. Recognizing this importance and urgency, the IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) remains committed to enabling reproducible research through transparency and the availability and potential reuse of code and data associated with its publications. In this talk, I will introduce the TPDS Reproducibility Initiative and discuss activities and experiences as part of this initiative.

Software Assessment and Badging – by Sandra Gesing, Co-Chair, GO FAIR US, GO BUILD (10 min) 

Abstract: The GO BUILD Pillar of GO FAIR US focuses on the development of a FAIR assessment framework and implementation guidance for research software hosting and sharing platforms. Particular focus has been given to the mechanism of badging for FAIR research software assessment and implementation guidance which has led us to explore topics such as repository workflows and software discovery as well. This talk will summarize the work that has been done so far by the group and describe our next steps towards furthering community guidance and implementations.
