Webinar: How Can Open Science Practices Increase Trust In Research?

The open science movement is changing the way research is published, providing new methods of dissemination and evaluation like preprints and open review that are accelerating the pace and transparency of science. At the same time, these new, more open methods of communicating science threaten to expose the publication process to bad actors keen on weaponizing science for political purposes, spreading misinformation, or publishing junk research to advance their careers.

Join The Journalist's Resource for this panel bringing together representatives from each stage of open science, from active researchers to open publishing platform developers and journalists for a frank discussion of how each part of the publishing process must adapt to make sure open science advances not just science itself, but society’s understanding of, trust in, and willingness to invest in research.

Panelists will share:

• New trends in open science and how they will change the way policymakers, journalists, and the public encounter, make sense of, and ultimately trust science.
• Potential risks posed by the adoption of open science and how researchers and publishers can work with journalists and policymakers to mitigate them.
• Why researchers are adopting open science, and what it means for the future of access to scientific knowledge.
• Lessons learned from the news media’s history with free online publishing, and what the academic publishing community can take and adapt from them.
