Folks, what are different definitions of reproducibility v. robustness v. replicability that you have seen? (Please RT)

For example, from @PatSchloss: mbio.asm.org/content/9/3/e0…
Also: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
From @kirstie_j: figshare.com/articles/Showi… (ht @PatSchloss & @martinjones78)

From @CaroleAnneGoble: figshare.com/articles/Open_… Figure by Carole Goble adapted from Drummond C, "Replicability is not Reproducibility: Nor is it Good Scienc" (2011) [ht @danielskatz]

This thread is going to be a plea for nuance and civility in open access/science discussions. I do this, realizing that Twitter rewards and pushes for extremes, hyperbole, provocation.

I know this is an uphill battle, but please bear with with me. 1/
If you want to say "science is broken", pause and ask yourself, "is it?" There's daily progress w/ new discoveries, treatments, etc.

Millions of hard-working scientists are doing their best; don't dismiss their efforts.

Instead consider, "Science works but can work better." 2/
If you want to say, "publishing is an evil scam", don't. Think of the thousands of your colleagues, doing their best to facilitate sharing of results.

Consider, "Science publishing works, but there is lots of inefficiency; it can be cheaper, open, more transparent..." 3/

I don't know about 50 years ago, but there's plenty of evidence that our methods sections today are typically insufficient for reproducing the published work. "We used a modified version of paper XYZ" and "contact author for details" are common. 1/
Key early lesson from the @elizabethiorns @BrianNosek Cancer Reproducibility project is that the protocols are often missing. 2/ vox.com/science-and-he… nature.com/news/cancer-re… theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
In his 2015 blog post, @tpoi nailed the state of methods sections: medium.com/@tpoi/do-the-r… 3/

I REALLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS! #Regrets
4.5 years later...
I guess it's never too late...
I'd do it a bit differently now..
Also i needed an editor so bad!
"A remarkable story of bedside-to-bench-to-bed side research is the discovery of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coreceptor CCR5
and the subsequent therapeutic advances made because of this knowledge"

natap.org/2014/HIV/nejme…
"We investigated whether site-specific modification of the gene (“gene editing”) — in this case, the infusion of autologous CD4 T cells in which the CCR5 gene was rendered permanently dysfunctional by a zinc-finger nuclease (ZFN) — is safe."

New essay from @patrickc and myself, arguing that science has suffered from greatly diminishing returns over the past century: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
Of course, others have argued for similar conclusions before. But the argument has usually been made anecdotally. We bring a new type of evidence to the discussion.
The trouble with anecdotal argument about the question "What’s the rate of progress in science" is that it's too big and vague a question, and answers are easily swayed by feeling. That makes it easy to dismiss answers that you don't like.

Five hours in @Reagan_Airport and still here; twice rebooked due to thunderstorms—hope I make it to Boston tonight for tomorrow's IEEE #reproducibility workshop.
As the @IEEEorg steps into the #reproducibility discussion, I'm really hoping they'll pay attention to terminology—"Terminologies for Reproducible Research" arxiv.org/abs/1802.03311
My assessment after reviewing literature from more than a dozen fields is that the predominant usage for #reproducibility is “same data+same methods=same results.”

🚨 Please share broadly! As usual, the Kochs are dumping tons of money into GOP candidates...especially into *critical swing districts* we need to flip.

I've threaded links below to the Democratic challengers in these races. Please RT and support them! /1
truth-out.org/news/item/4458…
I focused the list of NOMINEES. These are Democrats in swing districts who have already won their primaries and are facing off against Koch-infused Republicans in fall.
