"Towards Reproducible Science: a few building blocks from my personal experience

It is well understood that achieving Reproducible Science across all scientific disciplines is an extremely ambitious goal that will be really difficult to achieve. However, there are many small steps that can be taken towards improving our way of doing, communicating and advancing Science, by making the experiments that we describe in our scientific papers easier to reproduce.

In this talk, I will talk about some of the efforts that we have been working on in the context of our research group, focused on achieving a more Reproducible Science. First, our work on ontologies for the representation of Wetlab laboratory protocols (for plant genomics). We have been working on analysing manually papers describing laboratory protocols, deriving a representation for them, understanding how Instruments, Reagents, Outputs, etc., have to be identified and annotated, publishing now this laboratory protocols as Linked Data. Second, the work that we are doing in the context of the STARS4ALL EU project, where we are trying to provide support to the research (and activists) community working on light pollution. We are working on making research data available as open data, as well as creating ontologies that can be used by public institutions. Finally, I will discuss on what I believe that is still needed in order to achieve the broader goal of Reproducible Science and will open a discussion on the current barriers to achieve this goal."
