Description du projet
Trouver des solutions au problème de la reproductibilité scientifique
Dans le monde de la science, le défi persistant de la reproductibilité jette un doute sur la qualité et la fiabilité des résultats de la recherche. C’est dans cette optique que le projet iRISE, financé par l’UE, vise à transformer le paysage des preuves scientifiques en associant des experts de divers domaines. Réunissant une équipe diversifiée d’experts issus du monde universitaire et des PME, le projet couvre un large éventail de spécialités, des méta-sciences à l’IA et de l’éthique de la recherche à la gestion de projet. Son approche multiforme consiste à développer un cadre global pour diagnostiquer et traiter les problèmes de reproductibilité, à conserver et à évaluer les interventions existantes et à mener des études empiriques pour améliorer la reproductibilité. En accordant la priorité aux pratiques d’équité, de diversité et d’inclusion, iRISE remodèle la culture scientifique et aide la communauté de la recherche à mettre en œuvre des solutions efficaces.
Objectif
Structured understanding of the drivers of irreproducibility and presenting concrete solutions of tools and interventions will help to increase the quality, reliability and re-usability of scientific evidence. To this end, iRISE proposes to provide theoretical and empirical evidence of the effectiveness of specific interventions, and a framework for a robust, evidence-based road map for the development, assessment and implementation of interventions intended to improve reproducibility. iRISE brings together qualitative and quantitative expertise, from academia and SMEs, including meta-science, statistics, economics, artificial intelligence, research ethics and integrity, quality assurance, and project management. iRISE proposes the development of a general framework for diagnosing and addressing reproducibility problems using analytical and computational modelling, simulations and meta-studies. Data on existing interventions will be systematically curated and evaluated, and stakeholders will be consulted to collaboratively identify practices and tools that should be prioritised for implementation. iRISE proposes to conduct empirical studies of both technical and practice-based solutions to increase reproducibility. Across all iRISE activities, the influences of research culture will be investigated, with a focus on mainstreaming systematic integration of equity, diversity and inclusion practices. A comprehensive Stakeholder Forum will be engaged to provide advice, and iRISE will commit to open and reproducible practices. The different types of evidence generated will be integrated into an open knowledge base to support the community in decision-making to identify, test, and implement effective and feasible solutions for reproducibility. The members of iRISE have made pivotal scientific and policy contributions relating to robustness, rigour and reproducibility in the past and have the skills and tools to succeed in this ambitious project that has potential scientific, economic and societal gains both in Europe and beyond.
