- Open Source and Global Development in Epidemiology Training EunRyoung Sa, Akira Sekikawa, Ronald LaPorte Global Health Network Supercourse Graduate School of Public Health University of Pittsburgh
- Slide 2
- Open Source Model Software development process Traditional model Copyright Source code: Closed Bugs/problems Open Source model Free software, Internet Source code: Open Fast & cheap
- Slide 3
- Open Source Model Openness of knowledge Transparent knowledge quality improvement Knowledge sharing time, cost, efficiency Knowledge translation local need, local customization Global sharing, collaboration decentralized development
- Slide 4
- Open Movement in Biomedical Science Information sharing & knowledge dissemination for quality improvement Open access journals Open archives, Pre-print servers Open Epidemiologic data Open lecture archives
- Slide 5
- Open access journals What: Peer reviewed journal articles available on the Internet for free of charge Why: To improve knowledge dissemination, eventually biomedical science worldwide Examples: BMJ www.bmj.com BiomedCentral www.biomedcentral.com PubMedCentral www.pubmedcentral.gov Smaller independent journals www.jmir.org
- Slide 6
- Open Archives What: Shared scientific archives around the world Archives: scientific articles before publishing E.g. Findings from on-going project Standard format (OAI, Metadata) Better search for research Pre-print servers, E-prints, Net-prints Why: To share scientific findings among peer researchers worldwide Broader feedback to improve their research Examples: arXiv.org in Physics www.netprints.org in Biomedical sciencewww.netprints.org Individual authors homepages
- Slide 7
- Epidemiologic Data Publishing What: Attached electronic appendices to e-papers Original dataset and/or SAS code Why: Research transparency, open review, extended analysis/ research Good source for epidemiologic training Examples: Individual researcher Hutchon DJR. Publishing raw data and real time statistical analysis on e-journals. {Infopoints} BMJ 2001;322:529-530 Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group Original data (SAS files, protocols etc) NTIS (Nat Technical Info Service) NIH grant proposal plans to require by this October
- Slide 8
- Open Lecture Archives in Higher Education What: MIT Open Course Ware Opening all MIT lectures free of charge on the Internet lecture notes, course outlines, reading lists, assignment Why: To improve quality in teaching in physics both at MIT and worldwide Progress: Initiated in 2001, will be open soon
- Slide 9
- Open Lecture Archives in Higher Education What: Supercourse Faculty open their lectures and share them worldwide free of charge on the Internet Why: To improve Epidemiology training worldwide Progress: Initiated in 1997 fall 4 lectures 80 faculty members Year 2002 1000 lectures 9236 faculty members from 118 countries
