Open Science practices create new opportunities for researchers to easily build a positive reputation and advance their career. Consistent application of Open Science practices contributes to a reputation for integrity, high-quality research, collaboration, and leadership in the field that will stay with you throughout your career.

This discussion (held live on Researcher App on September 16, 2021) explores the role that publishing protocols have in providing credit and recognition for your work.

Panelists:
Dr Lily Yan from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and the Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections in Haiti
Dr Vanessa Rouzier from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and the Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections in Haiti
Dr Emily Chenette, the Editor in Chief of PLOS ONE.

Lily and Vanessa are co-first authors on Study Protocol called “Treatment of early hypertension among persons living with HIV in Haiti: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial”, and shared their perspectives on publishing this particular protocol, as well as the relevance of protocols in general for credit and recognition of research.

A note: there were some audio glitches in the beginning of this discussion which muted participants early on. We have posted the transcript for the introduction below to help fill in the gaps in information.

INTRODUCTION TRANSCRIPT

Hello everyone, and welcome to Protocols and Recognition, a live panel discussion as a part of our weeklong Scientists for Open Science program. There is more to research than articles. Resources like study designs, protocols, code and methods; raw data and images; preprints, peer reviews and commentary are research in and of themselves—and researchers deserve academic credit for their contributions in these areas.

Open Science practices create new opportunities for researchers to easily build a positive reputation and advance their career. Publishing under an Open Access license and sharing other Open Science artifacts maximize reach and citation potential. Open Science tools like registered reports, preprints, and incremental publication give researchers more control over the publication cycle, so you can establish priority and share progress in advance of grant applications or tenure reviews. Tools like ORCID and CRediT help to track your contributions with less manual work, and ensure that authorship and peer review are properly attributed, even if you have a common name, or if your name changes.

Consistent application of Open Science practices contributes to a reputation for integrity, high-quality research, collaboration, and leadership in the field that will stay with you throughout your career.

This event today will explore the role that publishing protocols have in providing credit and recognition for your work. Joining me today are Dr Lily Yan from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and the Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections in Haiti; Dr Vanessa Rouzier from the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York and the Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections in Haiti; and Dr Emily Chenette, the Editor in Chief of PLOS ONE. Lily and Vanessa are co-first authors on Study Protocol called “Treatment of early hypertension among persons living with HIV in Haiti: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial”, and they’re here to share their perspectives on publishing this particular protocol, as well as the relevance of protocols in general for credit and recognition of research.

Protocols and Recognition: a Scientists for Open Science discussion

The need for equity in publishing models - a Scientists for Open Science discussion

In a world where climate change impacts us all, PLOS Climate is empowering global collaboration between all stakeholders – researchers and organizations, individuals and policymakers. 

In this panel discussion (hosted live on May 10, 2022) Editor-in-Chief Emma Archer and Executive Editor Jamie Males discuss the aims of the journal, and how it contributes to some of the biggest conversations about the future of our planet. They were also joined by PLOS Climate author John Bruno, marine ecologist and Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (US) to highlight his recent co-authored paper, “A century of warming on Caribbean reefs"
