Open science is at the heart of the mission and work of ASAP. Our vision is to facilitate a research environment where meaningful collaboration, research-enabling resources, and data sharing provide the answers we need to understand, diagnose, and treat Parkinson’s disease.
We are actively engaged with the broader open science community and have published articles, blog posts, and other resources detailing our philosophy and the framework surrounding the implementation and evaluation of our Open Science Policy. We hope that these resources assist other funders and institutions as they consider open science implementation frameworks.
ASAP Manuscripts on Our Open Science Practices
This Blueprint presents initial findings on how our approach to open science has solidified and evolved over the years, data and metrics on progress, and CC-BY versions of assets that can be adopted and adapted by others. We update the Blueprint with new findings and updated versions of these assets on a regular basis.
In this publication, we evaluate our effectiveness in improving research output sharing using new tools developed by DataSeer.ai for all articles processed in the ASAP Compliance Workflow.
“Costs and Barriers to Implementing an Open Science Policy: A Funder’s Perspective” (2024)
In this preprint, we detail the costs and effort associated with each point in the ASAP Open Science Policy. We also outline ways to implement open science at various cost levels.
ASAP Open Science Blog Posts
ASAP created an open access, collaborative data-sharing tool with a unique harmonized dataset of human postmortem-derived brain samples, available to the full research community.
The Stories That Drive Open Science
This blog series delves into specific stories about data, protocols, code, and lab materials to highlight the importance of sharing these research outputs according to the principles of Open Science.
ASAP shares insight on why we require that all code used in a manuscript to be shared in a publicly accessible repository.
Open Science Resources
This suite of documents is designed to assist grantees by providing guidance on Open Science best practices. These documents are licensed with a CC BY license for reuse, adapting, and distribution by other funders.
ASAP developed this tool, which contains recommended repositories for the most commonly used data types in the ASAP network, as well as a brief description of best practices for sharing that data type.
This resource provides fine-grained detail and an unambiguous explanation of the ASAP Open Science Policy requirements.
