About the Event:

Reproducibility is crucial to the progress and impact of Research and Innovation (R&I) as it confirms or corrects the outcomes of single studies, resulting in higher quality research, more reliable and implementable outcomes, and a reduction of research costs. OSIRIS (Open Science to Increase Reproducibility in Science) is one of three EU funded consortia studying reproducibility in Europe. It aims to facilitate this shift by systematically gathering knowledge on the underlying drivers, testing effective evidence-based solutions, identifying incentives for reproducibility by stakeholders, and embedding reproducibility in research design. This talk examines the work done by OSIRIS to date to understand what reproducibility means across contexts, what evidence exists to improve it, and how we are working to generate new evidence in the field.

About the Speaker:

Nicholas J. DeVito, MPH, DPhil

Nick is a postgraduate researcher at the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, University of Oxford. He leads all research integrity work at the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science including the influential TrialsTracker project and as a member of the OSIRIS Consortium. His research focuses on using mixed-methods approaches to understand how governments and institutions can support and promote more rigorous, transparent, and reproducible research. In addition to his funding from the EU, he currently also receives funding from UKRI for metascience work and supports the OpenSAFELY project at the Bennett Institute.
