Subject: [i-announce@ischool] Don't miss tomorrow's special lecture: "Toward
Reproducible Computational Science" with Victoria Stodden
Don't miss Tomorrow's Special Lecture at the UC Berkeley School of Information:
Toward Reproducible Computational Science: Reliability, Re-Use, and Readability
with Victoria Stodden
Wednesday, April 9, 2014, 4:10 pm - 5:30 pm
210 South Hall
The dissemination of reproducible computational research — where the code and data that
generated the results are made conveniently available — is now widely recognized as a
transformative movement within the scientific community. It is attracting attention not
only from researchers but also from librarians and repository managers, journal editorial
boards, funding agencies and policy makers, and scientific software developers.
This talk motivates the rationale for this shift, and presents solutions I have been
developing to facilitate reliable and re-usable computational research including: new
empirical findings on changes to journal data and code publication policies; best
practices for code and data release; the open source dissemination and access tool
ResearchCompendia.org; and the "Reproducible Research Standard" for ensuring the
distribution of legally usable data and code. Some of these results are described in the
forthcoming co-edited books Implementing Reproducible Research and Privacy, Big Data, and
the Public Good.
Victoria Stodden is assistant professor of statistics at Columbia University and serves as
a member of the National Science Foundation’s Advisory Committee on Cyberinfrastructure
(ACCI), and on Columbia University’s Senate Information Technologies Committee. She is one
of the creators of SparseLab, a collaborative platform for reproducible computational
research and has developed an award winning licensing structure to facilitate open and
reproducible computational research, called the Reproducible Research Standard. She is
currently working on the NSF-funded project “Policy Design for Reproducibility and Data
Sharing in Computational Science.”
Victoria co-chaired a working group on Virtual Organizations for the NSF’s Office of
Cyberinfrastructure Task Force on Grand Challenge Communities in 2010. She is a Science
Commons fellow and a nominated member of the Sigma Xi scientific research society. She
also serves on the advisory board for hackNY.org, and on the joint advisory committee for
the NSF's EarthCube, the effort to build a geosciences-integrating
cyberinfrastructure. She is an editorial board member for Open Research Computation and
Open Network Biology. She completed her Ph.D. and law degrees at Stanford University.
Her Erdös Number is 3.
