### Introduction
An example of the many available tools of Open Science: [phd-starter-kit](https://raoofphysics.github.io/phd-starter-kit)
> Researchers may feel discouraged by the many tools of the open science ecosystem.

### Overview: 3 papers
[Improving Transparency and Reproducibility](http://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002506)
> "A practical guide for researchers at any stage of their careers that will help them make their research more reproducible and transparent while minimizing the additional effort that this might require."
[Do You Speak Open Science?](https://peerj.com/preprints/2689/)
> "A field guide for scientists who want to perform science in the open, offering resources and tips to make open science happen in the four key areas of data, code, publications and peer-review."
[Using Open Data Science Tools](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-017-0160)
> "Describing of how several free software tools have fundamentally upgraded our approach to collaborative research, making our entire workflow more transparent and streamlined."

### More Than OA Publishing
[Center for Open Science](https://cos.io/prereg/)
> On the importance of preregistration.
[Rescience](https://rescience.github.io/)
> CS journal encouraging explicit replication of already published research.
[dokie.li](https://dokie.li/)
> Clientside editor for decentralised article publishing, annotations and social interactions. (Made in Switzerland)
[protocols.io](https://www.protocols.io)
> Version, modify, and discuss existing lab protocols.
[Open peer review](https://f1000research.com/articles/6-588/)
> The ultimate 120 definitions of open peer review.
[impactstory.org](https://profiles.impactstory.org/u/0000-0001-6001-2677)
> Calculating the OA output of individual researchers.
---
### Open Data and Analysis
[datproject.org](https://datproject.org/)
> A distributed data sharing tool.
[dataverse.org](https://dataverse.org)
> Open source research data repository software.
[ropensci.org](https://ropensci.org/packages/)
> Dedicated R library collection (somewhat still missing in Python).
---
### Spreading the Word of Data Science (and possibly RENGA)
[Meetups](https://www.meetup.com/PyData-Zurich/events/243246870/)
> Community driven pop-up meetings about Big Data, Python, R, and more.
[Data Science for Doctors](http://datascibc.org/)
> A project backed by The Software Sustainability Institute.
[Programming Historian](https://programminghistorian.org/)
> Tutorials helping humanists learn a wide range of digital tools, techniques, and workflows to facilitate research and teaching.
[Software Carpentry](https://software-carpentry.org/)
> Teaching researchers the computing skills they need to get more done in less time and with less pain.
[Cambridge Coding Academy](https://cambridgecoding.com/)
> Boot camps and summer schools, in Cambridge, UK. Now also known as [cambridgespark.com](www.cambridgespark.com).
[recurse.com](https://www.recurse.com/)
> Iconic sabbaticals for coders in NYC.
---
### AI For Knowledge Discovery
[iris.ai](https://iris.ai/)
> The Artificial Intelligence that reads science.
[meta.com](http://meta.com/)
> The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative tool that helps researchers understand what is happening globally in science and shows them where science is headed.
[sparrho.com](https://www.sparrho.com/)
> Combining artificial intelligence and human experts to democratise science.
[semanticscholar.org](http://allenai.org/semantic-scholar/)
> Classifying citations in the main text and calculating impact accordingly.
---
### Open Science Netbooks
[Review paper](http://rfsic.revues.org/3186#tocfrom1n3)
> Open notebook science as an emerging epistemic culture within the Open Science movement.
[opendatagroup.com](https://www.opendatagroup.com/), Chicago, IL
> FastScoreā¢
[openml.org](https://www.openml.org/)
> Somewhat related to RENGA, but very different focus.
