Researchers are human: Implications for Open Science and the Scientific Record

Author(s) / Creator(s)

Gonzalez-Marquez, Monica

Abstract / Description

People are excellent at pattern-seeking. We also love stories, solve problems in similar ways and have porous memories. Some people are also researchers. What do these characteristics mean for the creation of a scientific record that can be understood and used long after our atoms have been returned to the cosmos? In this talk, I will discuss a model of open scientific documentation that centers the constraints of human cognition. By returning to first principles about the purpose of publishing papers, i.e. the creation of a usable and reliable scientific record, I will describe how by acknowledging our very human minds, and working within their structures, we can drastically improve how well we understand and produce scientific information.
