The Open Science Initiative in the Context of the “Reproducibility Crisis” and Its Impact on Academic Libraries

Mithat Baver Zencir

Reproducibility is important in terms of verifying scientific results and creating reliable information. The emergence of open and transparent research processes is a requirement to ensure reproducibility. At this point, the open science initiative has a critical importance with the activities it covers. Libraries are pioneering institutions in the implementation of reproducible and open research culture. This study discusses reproducibility, the role of open science in ensuring reproducibility, and the duties that academic libraries can take on in this context, based on the literature review. In this way, it is aimed to raise awareness on the issue for academic libraries and other scientific stakeholders in Turkey. As a result of the literature review, it was concluded that the issue of reproducibility in particular is relatively new and at the initial stage in terms of library services. However, new expertise and skills for librarians and information professionals appear to be discussed in the context of open and reproducible research. With the increase in the number of studies on the topic and the prevalence of services, librarians can meet possible researcher needs.

“Tekrarlanabilirlik Krizi” Bağlamında Açık Bilim Girişimi ve Akademik Kütüphanelere Etkisi

Mithat Baver Zencir

Tekrarlanabilirlik, bilimsel sonuçların doğrulanması ve güvenilir bilginin oluşturulması açısından önemlidir. Tekrarlanabilirliğin sağlanması için açık ve şeffaf araştırma süreçlerinin ortaya çıkması bir gerekliliktir. Bu noktada, açık bilim girişimi kapsadığı etkinlikler ile kritik bir önem arz eder. Tekrarlanabilir ve açık araştırma kültürünün hayata geçirilmesinde kütüphaneler öncü kurumlardır. Bu çalışma, literatür incelemesine bağlı olarak; tekrarlanabilirliği, tekrarlanabilirliğin sağlanmasında açık bilimin rolünü ve akademik kütüphanelerin bu kapsamda üstlenebilecekleri görevleri ele almaktadır. Bu sayede ülkemizdeki akademik kütüphaneler ve diğer bilimsel paydaşlar için konuya ilişkin bir farkındalık oluşturulması amaçlanmaktadır. Literatür incelemesi sonucunda, kütüphane hizmetleri açısından özellikle tekrarlanabilirlik konusunun ele alınmasının nispeten yeni ve başlangıç aşamasında olduğu kanısı oluşmuştur. Buna rağmen, kütüphaneciler ve bilgi profesyonelleri için yeni uzmanlık ve becerilerin açık ve tekrarlanabilir araştırmalar bağlamında tartışıldığı görülmektedir. Konuya ilişkin çalışmaların sayısındaki artış ve uygulamaların yaygınlığı ile kütüphanecilerin olası araştırmacı gereksinimlerini karşılaması sağlanabilir.
