OpenFest 2023 Online Symposium Keynote 2 - Malvika Sharan, Open science for enabling reproducible, ethical and collaborative research: Insights from The Turing Way
Keynote address from the OpenFest 2023 online symposium 'New Perspectives on Open Research', which took place on 7 September 2023.
OpenFest 2023 Online Symposium Keynote 2 - Malvika Sharan, Open science for enabling reproducible, ethical and collaborative research: Insights from The Turing Way
Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss open science as a framework to ensure that all our research components can be easily accessed, openly examined and built upon by others. I will introduce The Turing Way - an open source, open collaboration and community-driven guide to reproducible, ethical and inclusive data science and research. Drawing insights from the project, I will share best practices that researchers should integrate to ensure the highest reproducible and ethical standards from the start of their projects so that their research work is easy to reuse and reproduce at all stages of the development. All attendees will leave the talk understanding the many dimensions of openness and how they can participate in an inclusive, kind and inspiring open source ecosystem as they collaboratively seek to improve research culture. All questions and contributions are welcome at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way.
Malvika Sharan is a senior researcher and co-lead of The Turing Way project at The Alan Turing Institute which is an open source community and guide for reproducible and collaborative data science. She involves and supports a diverse community of contributors - helping them adopt best practices in their research and collaborate within The Turing Way.
She is a co-founder of Open Life Science, a mentoring and training programme that empowers researchers to integrate open science in the context of their communities. She is a Software Sustainability Institute fellow, Society of RSE trustee, and an active contributor to open source community initiatives including Code for Science and Society, NASA-TOPS,The Carpentries and MetaDocencia.
She works towards enabling collaborative development approaches, embedding inclusive practices and supporting projects to enhance the diversity of marginalised members in research leadership.
