Overview
This Symposium was proposed by the Reproducible Research study group. Open science and research transparency are crucial for reaching reproducible, reliable results in fields like MR in medicine. Promoting reproducible research (RR) is becoming more and more relevant to face a replication crisis in our field and to foster translation of innovations into clinical practice (Stikov et al., 2019). Last year, the Reproducible Research Study Group (SG) conducted a survey to investigate perception of reproducibility problems in our field (https://ismrm.github.io/rrsg/QuestionnaireSummary/), and for the majority of members, the answer was yes/maybe. Common issues spanned different areas of MR research: from clinical studies to sequences, and not sparing reconstruction and analysis. This is why we believe this proposal will fit well with other annual meeting content. In this symposium - organized by the RR SG - we will address RR issues in a propositive way, not only describing different problems that limit reproducible science, but also giving a hint to possible solutions and promoting awareness and discussion on it. The session will be organized as follows: brief introduction by the trainee representative, four 15-minute talks given by experts working on different aspects of reproducibility, a 20-minute power-pitch session about software tools (we will have an open call and select from the responses), and then a panel discussion in which we will have different vendor representatives share their companies’ views on RR.
Target Audience
Researchers: early-career (usually want but can't do RR), established (often can but won't); publishers, for their impact on reproducibility; vendors.
Educational Objectives
As a result of attending this course, participants should be able to:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to: - Identify reproducible research initiatives in our field; - Facilitate learning to nurture and sustain the culture of reproducibility; - Identify MRI vendors’ vision on reproducibility; and - Name innovative reproducibility tools available in the MR community.
