The Quest for Reproducible Science: Issues in Research Transparency
and Integrity - a 2016 ALCTS Preconference
Friday, June 24, 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., Orlando, FL  |  event code: ALC3

The credibility of scientific findings is under attack. While this
crisis has several causes, none is more common or correctable than the
inability to replicate experimental and computational research. This
preconference will feature scholars, librarians, and technologists who
are attacking this problem through tools and techniques to manage
data, enable research transparency, and promote reproducible science.
Attendees will learn strategies for fostering and supporting
transparent research practices at their institutions.
