PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.

"#Reproducibility isn’t just about repeating results, it’s about making the research process transparent, so others can follow the path you took and understand how you got there."

🎧 We are preparing new episodes for our #OpenScience Bites #podcast.

"Reproducibility should be a key factor in all your research, in all your projects. It costs time, but it's also shifting the time, and in the end it can save time again."

🎧 We are preparing new episodes for our #OpenScience Bites #podcast about #reproducibility.

We talked to Michiel de Boer of the @Dutch_Reproducibility_Network and we are very much looking forward to this episode. So stay tuned!
