Current Issues in Computational Methods: Roundtable

Topic: Open Science in the MCD Community. In 2023, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced the Year of Open Science and allocated resources to advance open science throughout research communities. In the past several years, we have seen growing support for open-source software and open publishing in MCD and ANS. In this roundtable we’ll discuss open science practices in the MCD community – including open results, open data, publishing, and open source software – and explore existing issues and barriers to its practice. How do we transition to open practices from closed cultures? What incentives are there to be open? What are we doing well? What should we not do? Panelists will discuss these topics in conversation with the moderator and the audience.
