一些学者认为,开放科学实践限制了研究人员的创造力,例如,预先注册会阻碍数据探索,从而扼杀发现。在本文中,我们提出相反的观点:开放科学实践是解放性的,可以培养创造力。开放科学实践具有解放性,因为它们 (a) 使我们能够透明、舒适地探索数据; (b) 奖励质量,这是在我们控制之下的,而不是结果,因为结果是我们无法控制的; (c) 减少需要寻找“积极”结果以促进职业发展的束缚。开放科学实践可以培养创造力,因为它们可以培养开放和灵活的思维方式,创造更具协作性和建设性的氛围,并生成更准确的信息并使其更容易获取。总之,开放科学对研究人员的解放多于对他们的限制。
Some scholars think that Open Science practices constrain researchers in ways that reduce their creativity, arguing, for instance, that preregistration discourages data exploration and so stifles discovery. In this article, we argue the opposite: Open Science practices are liberating and can foster creativity. Open Science practices are liberating because they (a) enable us to explore data transparently and comfortably; (b) reward quality, which is under our control, rather than outcomes, which are not; and (c) reduce the choke hold of needing to find "positive" results for career advancement. Open Science practices can foster creativity because they cultivate an open and flexible mind-set, create a more collaborative and constructive climate, and generate more accurate information and make it more accessible. In sum, Open Science liberates researchers more than it constrains them.
