*Reminder for tomorrow's talk by* #Lisa McShane: "Reproducibility of omics research: Shared responsibility and consequences of ignorance" A talk by the Acting Associate Director, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, National Cancer Institute The IBE, LMU Open Science Center, STRATOS, and the European Bioconductor Meeting cordially invite to a guest talk: **When: December 5, 2018 - 5:00 pm s.t.** **Where: Schellingstr. 3, Room S005** *Abstract:* Irreproducible biomedical research is particularly concerning because flawed findings have the potential to make their way to clinical studies involving human participants. Many factors have been suggested as contributors to irreproducible biomedical research, including poor study design, analytic instability of measurement methods, sloppy data handling, inappropriate and misleading statistical analysis methods, improper reporting or interpretation of results, and on rare occasions, outright scientific misconduct. Potential for these problems to occur is amplified when the research involves use of novel measurement technologies such as “omics assays” which generate large volumes of data requiring specialized expertise and computational approaches for proper management, analysis and interpretation [http://www.nationalacademies.org/hmd/Reports/2012/Evolution-of-Translationa…] Successful translation of omics research findings to safe and effective clinical tests requires a research team with expertise including laboratory and clinical science, bioinformatics, computational science, and statistics. Team members share responsibility for ensuring that research is performed with integrity and best practices are followed to ensure reproducible results. Although making data and computer code publicly available are valuable and important first steps toward promoting reproducible research, they are not sufficient. Through a series of case studies, the many dimensions of reproducible omics research are explored, and shared responsibilities are discussed. Maintaining a culture of reproducible research requires effort, resources, and vigilance to counter many potential threats. --- ![](cid:6AAB3D2E-ABDD-4FEA-A419-8F4A7B3FFAED@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ --- PD Dr. Felix Schönbrodt Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany Managing Director of the LMU Open Science Center | http://www.osc.lmu.de Psychological Methods and Assessment, Department Psychology | http://www.psy.lmu.de/pm_en/team/staff/schoenbrodt http://www.nicebread.de http://www.researchtransparency.org Twitter: @nicebread303

Open Science Days 2019
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 3, 2018

Dec. 3, 2018

*[News from Martin Boosen from the Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL)]* The Max Planck Digital Library (MPDL) cordially invites you to participate in the in the **Open Science Days 2019**. As was the case at our recent conferences, we would like to put an emphasis on one of the numerous areas of Open Science: The focus topic in 2019 will be **RESEARCH SOFTWARE**. There will be presentations about practical examples of software development, usage and dissemination, as well as platforms supporting this practice. We would like to take a look at the reality in day-to-day research, e.g. regarding software citation and reproducibility of research findings. How important is free accessibility of the software (Openness)? Which are the major problems regarding the usage of software in academic life? The event will take place at the Harnack House in **Berlin** and is going to extend over one and a half days (**February 05/06**). It is directed at researchers and specialists from inside and especially from outside the Max Planck Society who are interested in an interdisciplinary communication about Open Science. The conference language will be English. The participation fee is 100 € and the number of participants is limited to 70 persons. For registration, preliminary program and additional information please visit: http://osd.mpdl.mpg.de/ --- ![](cid:B0B9CF01-8C0D-4215-96DF-2C0822DF3D8D@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc
