Please recommend women leaders in the Open Access/Science area. Too many conferences/boards feel like openness in science is only for men.

The thread goes on for ages, until April Hathcock (Scholarly Communications Librarian, New York University) wrote a blog post in which she discusses how lists and visibility are always great, but we need to start putting them into action -- in this case, inviting more women speakers. She also released an accompanying open google doc which had a list of women who work in the open which anyone can add names to.

I went ahead and blogged about this and created an open list. Add names. You're welcome. https://t.co/qFTngfevlI https://t.co/h8yxcUFChB

I built the website based on a lot of free and open source software and code. I built the website using Bootstrap3, the open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS. I modified the Flatly theme from Bootswatch for the website aesthetics, only changing it to make it purple rather than green (I just like the purple better, ok?). This site would have required SO MUCH MORE coding on my part if it wasn't for the code called 'CSV to HTML table' by Derek Eder, available here: https://github.com/derekeder/csv-to-html-table. This let me easily plug in a csv file to a website and get a nice searchable, sortable list. The map was built using leaflet open source JavaScript library used to build interactive maps on the web. I cleaned up the data using OpenRefine and their excellent Geocoding wiki.

All this to say -- YES open code, YES open data, and YES to all the wonderful women working towards openness!

So I'm at SciPy2017 (I had a talk on ReproZip accepted - slides) and I learned about some amazing open source tools for research! This year, SciPy 2017 was in Austin, Texas from July 10-16, 2017. It was the 16th annual Scientific Computing with Python Conference, and focused on great new tools and methods for research with Python.

These are my top 5 favourite takeaways from SciPy 2017!

  1. SciSheets: Anyone who knows me knows that I really can't stand Excel. It encodes your data weirdly, and is such a black box it causes more errors in research than it ever helps analysis. This is why I was pumped to see a session on building a better spreadsheet - one that combines programming with the simplicity of spreadsheets. SciSheets is a web application that allows users to run Python expressions or scripts in a spreadhseet, but also export spreadsheets to a standalone Python program! You can find a demo video here!

  3. nbgrader: This is a phenomenal application for assignment management and grading in Jupyter notebooks. The nbgrader extension for Jupyter notebooks guides the instructor through assignment and grading tasks using the familiar Jupyter notebook interface. It's made up of a few Jupyter Notebook extensions. The formgrader extension allows instructors to use functionality from nbgrader to generate student versions of assignments (including releasing to students), collecting assignments, and auto and manual grading submissions. Students just work in the notebook and submit! You can read more at the GitHub repo.

  4. Dataflow: This extension to Jupyter Notebooks answers the question, "how can a notebook be structured so rewriting isn't necessary?" and "how can cells in a notebook be linked more robustly?" Their solution was to make cell IDs persistent, similarly to UUIDs. This allows users to powerfully reference previous outputs. You see the slides from SciPy here.

  5. The Journal of Open Source Software: Ok, I didn't just learn about JOSS (I have a paper there!) but it's still one of my favourite things. It's an open source journal for software. Developers just have to write a short essay (2 paragraph markdown file with some references and an image) and have their code available for review on GitHub. The reviews look at the source code, and test it out before acceptance. From their website: "The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is an academic journal with a formal peer review process that is designed to improve the quality of the software submitted." It's a great way for developers in academia to get their work reviewed, and get credit for their excellent software.

  7. Elegant SciPy book: Written by Juan Nunez-Iglesias (@jni), Harriet Dashnow (@hdashnow), and Stéfan van der Walt (@stefanv), and published by O'Reilly Media, this fully free and open book focuses on the foundations of scientific python. You can download the book from the GitHub repository as Markdown or an executable Jupyter Notebook. Great work done on opening the book in a machine readable and executable format!!

The LIS Scholarship Archive first opened for sumbmission in August 2017, for a "soft launch" period to see where functionality and usability can be improved for a full-launch. We picked this week in October to coincide with Open Access Week, an international, annual scholarly communication event focusing on open access, sponsered by SPARC. LISSA accepts the full range of content from the library and information science (LIS) community and allied fields, including but not limited to: data, code, oral histories, zines, articles, books/book chapters, and student work. LISSA is governed by a board of LIS professionals from a range of backgrounds, and managed technologically by the Center for Open Science.
