S3E02: Citational politics in open science: don't be a d*ck about it

This is an AI-generated podcast for the article "Automating the Practice of Science - Opportunities, Challenges, and Implications": https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.05890

The podcast was generated with https://notebooklm.google/

Abstract:
Automation transformed various aspects of our human civilization, revolutionizing industries and streamlining processes. In the domain of scientific inquiry, automated approaches emerged as powerful tools, holding promise for accelerating discovery, enhancing reproducibility, and overcoming the traditional impediments to scientific progress. This article evaluates the scope of automation within scientific practice and assesses recent approaches. Furthermore, it discusses different perspectives to the following questions: Where do the greatest opportunities lie for automation in scientific practice?; What are the current bottlenecks of automating scientific practice?; and What are significant ethical and practical consequences of automating scientific practice? By discussing the motivations behind automated science, analyzing the hurdles encountered, and examining its implications, this article invites researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to navigate the rapidly evolving frontier of automated scientific practice.

Podcast - Automating The Practice Of Science

In this episode, Will is joined by Lianne Wolsink, PhD candidate at Ruhr University Bochum and current steering committee member of ReproducibiliTea. Will and Lianne discuss the ReproducibiliTea reading lists, created to help journal clubs do deep dives on metascience topics. Lianne created reading lists on replication and science communication; Will created an introductory reading list on Open Science, preregistration, and theory in psychology.

S4E8 ReproducibiliTea Reading Lists

The Autonomous Empirical Research Group aims to accelerate and enhance scientific discovery through the automation of empirical research processes—from hypothesis generation to experimental execution to automated documentation. We develop methods for automated scientific discovery and seek to co-create and share our work with empirical scientists across disciplines, enabling them to advance their research without sacrificing essential scientific standards like reproducibility, transparency, and rigor. We welcome talented researchers and students from diverse backgrounds, inviting them to join us in creating systemic change within our group and the broader scientific community.
