Bridging the Gaps Between Research Cultures, Publishing Workflows and Scholarly Infrastructures: Rethinking Reproducibility

The proliferation of digital tools has brought more opportunities than ever to document and open up the research process. At the same time, research cultures have been shifting from the 'publish or perish' paradigm towards openness and transparency. In particular, the ability to reproduce results to confirm their reliability is evolving to become a more established part of the research process: there is agreement that reproducible research practices can enable scientific development and enhance trust in science. We will share stories from academics, librarians, infrastructure providers, and publishers to discuss practices and barriers around research reproducibility. Our session will address a variety of research objects relevant across disciplines –for example, methodologies, research data, and code, plus their role in enhancing trust in the published record. By providing insights at the policy and operational levels, we will help all stakeholders involved advance their understanding and practical involvement in reproducible publication practices. || Learning Level: Mixed-Learning || Speakers: Andrea Chiarelli; Gabriele Hayden; David Mellor; Lars Vilhuber; Rebecca D.

44th Annual Meeting (2022)

“Building a More Connected Scholarly Community” The last 19+ months have been a fascinating contradiction, making us feel both painfully disconnected and also perhaps more bonded than ever before. How can we take the strengths we already possessed as a community, fold in lessons learned during the pandemic, and aim for being an even stronger, broader, and more connected community? Our Annual Meeting brings together academics, funders, librarians, publishers, service providers, technologists, and countless others with a communal interest and stake in the dissemination of scholarly information. We look forward to the 44th Annual Meeting as an opportunity to reconnect and to connect anew.
