Dr Yarkoni is a Research Assistant Professor in the
<http://www.psy.utexas.edu/> Department of Psychology at the University of
Texas, where he directs the  <http://pilab.colorado.edu/> Psychoinformatics
Lab. His research focuses on the development and application of new methods
for acquiring, organizing, and synthesizing psychological data on a large
scale. Tal's work applies techniques from behavioral psychology, functional
neuroimaging, and computer science to multiple domains within psychology,
with a particular focus on personality and individual differences.

 

Abstract:

In principle, science is a cumulative, community-driven enterprise. To make
new discoveries, researchers build directly on the products of other
researchers' efforts, and in turn, reciprocally share their own findings
with the world. In practice, of course, things rarely proceed quite so
idealistically. Researchers regularly hide their latest findings from one
another as they compete for publication in rarified journals; data and
protocols are hoarded to maintain competitive advantage; and "Questionable
Research Practices" such as optional stopping and selective reporting are
engaged in with alarming frequency, often under the justification that there
is no other way for a modern scientist to succeed. In this talk I take issue
with this philosophy, and argue that it is indeed possible for an open
scientist to both survive and thrive in the modern environment. I review a
series of open practices that can help advance one's career while
simultaneously maximizing the reproducibility, reliability, and
accessibility of one's scientific work. These include preprint deposition,
open-access publication, preregistration, version control, and social media
use, among others. I dispel a number of myths about these practices, and
review empirical evidence suggesting that they are, if anything, beneficial
to one's reputation. I conclude by suggesting that early-career scientists
are no longer faced with a hard choice between good science and good
politics, and encouraging researchers to actively contribute to the rapid
ongoing shift in structural incentives and cultural expectations.

 

I hope to see you there / J’espère vous voir nombreux.
