How open science helps researchers succeed

This workshop was delivered at the Annual Meeting of the PhD-students of the Graduate School Neurosciences Amsterdam Rotterdam (ONWAR). The workshop is based on a paper with same title by Erin C McKiernan et al. published in eLife in 2016 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.16800). The authors of this paper take a researcher-centric approach in outlining the benefits of open research practices. This workshop took a similar approach. Together, working in groups and through an interactive presentation, we looked at the benefits of open science and also at the barriers to adoption of open research practices. The participants shared examples of best practice and advice on how to practice open science within the existing academic incentive frameworks.
