The changing world of scholarly communication and the emerging new wave ‘Open Science’ or Research’ has brought to light a number controversial hotly debated topics. Evidence-based rational debate is regularly drowned out by misinformed exaggerated rhetoric, which does not benefit evolving system communication. This article aims provide baseline evidence framework for ten most contested topics, in order help frame move forward discussions, practices, policies. We address issues around...

With the advent new post-genomics technologies, becoming increasingly prevalent; yet full impact these can only be realized through data harmonization, sharing, meta-analysis, and integrated research.

Abstract In the last decade Open Science principles have been successfully advocated for and are being slowly adopted in different research communities. response to COVID-19 pandemic many publishers researchers sped up their adoption of practices, sometimes embracing them fully partially or a sub-optimal manner. this article, we express concerns about violation some its potential impact on quality output. We provide evidence misuses these at stages scientific process. call wider practices...

There is no clear-cut boundary between Free and Open Source Software Scholarship, the histories, practices, fundamental principles two remain complex. In this study, we critically appraise intersections differences movements. Based on our thematic comparison here, conclude several key things. First, there substantial scope for new communities of practice to form within scholarly that place sharing collaboration/open participation at their focus. Second, Both practices FOSS can be more deeply...

Abstract The systematic study of single-cell migration requires the availability software for assisting data inspection, quality control and analysis. This is especially important high-throughput experiments, where multiple biological conditions are tested in parallel. Although field cell can count on different computational tools segmentation tracking, downstream visualization, parameter extraction statistical analysis still left to user currently not possible within a single tool. article...
Cell migration research has become a high-content field. However, the quantitative information encapsulated in these complex and high-dimensional datasets is not fully exploited owing to diversity of experimental protocols non-standardized output formats. In addition, typically are open for reuse. Making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) will enable meta-analysis, integration, mining. Standardized formats controlled vocabularies essential building suitable...

These advances enabled a radical transformation practice science, which now more open, global collaborative, closer to society than ever. Open science has therefore become an increasingly important topic. Moreover, as open actively pursued by several high-profile...
This document aims to agree on a broad, international strategy for the implementation of open scholarship that meets needs different national and regional communities but works globally.Scholarly research can be idealised as an inspirational process advancing our collective knowledge benefit all humankind. However, current practices often struggle with range tensions, in part due fact this (or “commons”) ideal conflicts competitive system which most scholars work, because much infrastructure...

Abstract Summary: Automated image processing has allowed cell migration research to evolve a high-throughput field. As consequence, there is now an unmet need for data management in this domain. The absence of generic system the quantitative generated assays results each dataset being treated isolation, making comparison across experiments difficult. Moreover, by integrating quality control and analysis capabilities into such system, common practice having manually transfer different...

We summarize our personal experiences form ‘ten simple recommendations’. Typically, these collaborative, online...
