TIER2: ENHANCING TRUST, INTEGRITY AND EFFICIENCY IN RESEARCH THROUGH NEXT-LEVEL REPRODUCUBILITY IMPACT PATHWAYS

研究结果缺乏重现性已成为近年来的一个主要主题。随着我们从新冠肺炎大流行中走出来，经济压力(对研究资金的审查日益严格)以及社会对科学缺乏信任的后果暴露出来，使得解决可重复性问题变得迫切重要。Tier2通过选择3个广泛的研究领域(社会、生命和计算机科学)和2个跨学科的利益相关者群体(研究出版商和资助者)来系统地调查不同背景下的可重复性。该项目首先彻底审查了影响跨背景可再现性的含义和含义的认识论、社会和技术因素(认识论多样性)。接下来，我们根据现有的可再生性干预措施、工具和实践建立最先进的证据基础，确定关键的知识差距。然后，Tier2将使用(共同创建)场景规划、回溯和以用户为中心的设计技术来选择、确定优先顺序、设计/调整和实施新的工具/实践，以提高跨环境的可重复性。调整活动确保工具是EOSC可互操作的，与社区(即可再生性网络)的能力建设行动将促进认识、技能和社区接受。对各种情况下干预措施效果的系统评估将综合关于可再生性、收益和节约的知识。与利益攸关方共同制定了未来可再现性的最终路线图，包括政策建议。因此，Tier2将极大地提高可重复性知识，创造工具，让社区参与进来，在不同的背景下实施干预措施和政策，以提高欧洲研究领域和全球R&I的研究成果的重复使用和整体质量，从而增加研究的信任、完整性和效率。

Lack of reproducibility of research results has become a major theme in recent years. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, economic pressures (increasing scrutiny of research funding) and exposed consequences of lack of societal trust in science make addressing reproducibility of urgent importance. TIER2 does so by selecting 3 broad research areas (social, life and computer sciences) and 2 cross-disciplinary stakeholder groups (research publishers and funders) to systematically investigate reproducibility across contexts. The project starts by thoroughly examining the epistemological, social and technical factors (epistemic diversity) which shape the meanings and implications of reproducibility across contexts. Next, we build a state-of-the-art evidence-base on existing reproducibility interventions, tools and practices, identifying key knowledge gaps. Then TIER2 will use (co-creation) techniques of scenario-planning, backcasting and user-centred design to select, prioritise, design/adapt and implement new tools/practices to enhance reproducibility across contexts. Alignment activities ensure tools are EOSC-interoperable, & capacity-building actions with communities (i.e., Reproducibility Networks) will facilitate awareness, skills and community-uptake. Systematic assessment of the efficacy of interventions across contexts will synthesise knowledge on reproducibility gains and savings. A final roadmap for future reproducibility, including policy recommendations is co-created with stakeholders. Thus, TIER2 will significantly boost knowledge on reproducibility, create tools, engage communities, implement interventions and policy across different contexts to increase re-use and overall quality of research results in the European Research Area and global R&I, and consequently increase trust, integrity and efficiency in research.
