Abstract: Open access, open data, open source and other open scholarship practices are growing in popularity and necessity. However, widespread adoption of these practices has not yet been achieved. One reason is that researchers are uncertain about how sharing their work will affect their careers. We review literature demonstrating that open research is associated with increases in citations, media attention, potential collaborators, job opportunities and funding opportunities. These findings are evidence that open res… Show more

“…Concerning the association of code sharing with the conventional research citation rate and the alternative research metric Altmetric Attention Score, the results of this study did not find an association between code sharing and citation rate, but revealed a positive association between code sharing and Altmetric Attention Score. These findings are supported by previous research into open science practices which found similar increases in the number of mentions in alternative sources (Adie, 2014;McKiernan et al, 2016;Wang, Liu, Mao, & Fang, 2015).…”

“…In accordance with studies by Lawrence (2001) and Piwowar et al (2007), McKiernan et al (2016) reported several studies that found a relationship between open access publishing and citation rates (Hitchcock, 2016;Adie, 2014;Eysenbach, 2006;Hajjem et al, 2006;cited in McKiernan, 2016). Moreover, McKiernan et al (2016) found open research practices to be associated with alternative research metrics as well. For example, open publications get more media coverage than articles that are not openly accessible (Adie, 2014a;Wang et al, 2015;cited in McKiernan et al, 2016).…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Moreover, it has also been highlighted that authors may receive early media coverage based on preprints [27], which we see confirmed in our experience with a preprint based on an earlier version of this article [78,79]. Openness in science can even promote equality by making resource-costly data or rarely available observations accessible to a wider range of communities [74,75].…”

“…The benefits of true transparency have been previously noted (22, 23), and we reiterate that our proposed solution has lasting positive effects for the principal investigator, funding agencies, peer review, collaborators, and the general public. The solution is flexible and applicable to the broad needs of multi-omics integration for climate research, clinical proteogenomics, systems biology, computational neuroscience, and so on.…”
