Last week, I attended the Berlin 6 Open Access Conference in Düsseldorf (Germany). It was an interesting conference, on different aspects of Open Access: making publications freely available online. There was a wide variety of talks, from publishers’ perspectives over financial models for Open Access and open standards, to benefits of Open Access for developed and developing countries.
One of the sessions was organized by Mark Liberman around the topic of reproducible research. I gave a talk there about my experiences with reproducible research, but that’s not what I want to talk about here. I found it very interesting to see the wide range of subjects and perspectives that Mark gathered in that session. Slides of the entire session are available here for those who are interested.
