This site offers tools that can be adopted by institutions to help promote transparency in ecology and evolution. At this point, these tools consist of checklist questions that journals can adopt to help authors comply with TOP (Transparency and Openness Promotion) guidelines and to help reviewers and editors assess that compliance.

The scientific objective of the first Edition (2017) of EMOSE is to review methods in marine plankton metagenomic analysis, essentially comparing the different filtration, sequencing and analysis pipelines used by recent initiatives, i.e. Tara Oceans, Malaspina and the Ocean Sampling Day. Already published data from these projects will be complemented by a new set of data obtained from a comparative experiment of protocols used in the three initiatives. The bulk of the analyses will be...

Presentations on open technical infrastructure that supports research reproducibility, open access mandates, and data management and sharing requirements. Panel on Thursday, May 25th, 2017 at 4pm

Considering preservation before there is a need for preservation may be the next wave of corporate interest. While corporate interests often have to do with keeping up with Jones Co, preservation, I hope, will not suffer the same fate as other fads. Preservation of corporate information has multiple challenges: legal, real estate, bottom-line and out of date equipment required to access superseded formats. It does, however, also offer an element of content management that can...

A workshop organized by the DASPOS project, to be held 19-20 May 2016.

Replication of "Inhibition of BET recruitment to chromatin as an effective treatment for MLL-fusion leukaemia”. Includes information to prepare the replication experiments. Includes data, code, and digital materials from started, but incompleted replication experiments.

Distributed Pharmaceutical Analysis Lab

CREP’s mission is to provide training, support, and professional growth opportunities for students and instructors completing replication projects, while also addressing the need for direct and direct+ replications of highly-cited studies in the field.

Replication of "Intestinal inflammation targets cancer-inducing activity of the microbiota”. Includes information to prepare the replication experiments. Includes data, code, and digital materials from completed replication experiments.

Johns Hopkins University, the University of Notre Dame, Duraspace, and the Center for Open Science have collaborated to create an integration between the OSF and Fedora to bring preservation into the active research lifecycle.

The Center for Open Science (COS) and technical partners propose to extend its open infrastructure to support ASAPbio's call for a central service. COS's approach is community based and is accompanied by letters of support from 12 preprint services (e.g., arXiv, bioRxiv, SocArXiv), 15 data repositories (e.g., Dryad, Protein Data Bank, figshare), and 5 other stakeholders (e.g., HHMI, Health Research Alliance, GBSI).

Examples of stimulus sets for the to-be-named stimulus discovery database

Replication of "Fusobacterium nucleatum infection is prevalent in human colorectal carcinoma”. Includes information to prepare the replication experiments. Includes data, code, and digital materials from partially completed replication experiments.
