There’s an interesting article [1] by Chelsea Wald in Science magazine published today, about Open Science including Open Source Code, Open Notebook Science, Open Data and Open Access Publishing.
It interviews some of the advocates and sceptics of a more open approach to doing Science, including:
- Jonathan Eisen, University of California Davis
- Steve Koch, University of New Mexico
- Anthony Salvagno, University of New Mexico
- Sarah Kendrew, Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands
- Jean-Claude Bradley, Drexel University
- Carl Boettiger, University of California Davis
- Brian Krueger, University of Iowa
It’s well worth a read, despite being a bit US-centric, and looks like it’s freely available via Open Access Publishing [2] too.
[Update: There is some follow-up commentary on the original article here and here]
