Science requires open data and methods

2013-10-30 22:21:14.280266+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Whoah: AAAS Science magazine requires that contributors make data and source code available to readers:

Data and materials availability All data necessary to understand, assess, and extend the conclusions of the manuscript must be available to any reader of Science. All computer codes involved in the creation or analysis of data must also be available to any reader of Science.

This could be big, and is a huge step towards reproducibility and verification. Kudos!
