Toward Open and Reproducible Epidemiology

Abstract: Starting in the 2010s, researchers in the experimental social sciences rapidly began to adopt increasingly open and reproducible scientific practices. These practices include publicly sharing deidentified data when possible, sharing analysis code, and preregistering study protocols. Empirical evidence from the social sciences suggests such practices are feasible, can improve analytic reproducibility, and can reduce selective reporting. In academic epidemiology, adoption of open-science practices has been slowe… Show more

“…Fourth, we applied Bayesian statistical model which incorporated our prior background knowledge into the analysis; in this way, the current analysis provides a solid basis for future analyses. Finally, we adopted open and reproducible research practices [ 107 ]—we developed a priori statistical analysis protocol, documented in detail the research process, and made R scripts publicly available.…”

“…Moreover, many cohort datasets in Epidemiology have been made accessible for reuse by others [e.g., 43 , 44 ], leading to better research. Yet, despite some exceptions, open-science practices have been embraced at a slower pace in research in Epidemiology compared to the Social Sciences [ 41 ]. To understand how open research data sharing and reuse can be further improved in the field of Epidemiology, this study explores the facilitating role that infrastructural and institutional arrangements play in this research discipline.…”
