By posting preprints authors can help promote openness and transparency and reduce research waste from duplicated efforts and non-reporting. However, there are concerns about providing public access to preliminary clinical research for fear of causing harm. We believe that medRxiv, a new preprint server for the health sciences, will provide a valuable service to the clinical research community...

Being able to replicate, validate and extend previous work speeds new research projects. Scientists are beginning to apply software engineering practises to their research to make it reproducible and to improve their own efficiency. The development and use of container services allow analysis to be rerun easily and each step to be tracked automatically. The possibility of sharing workflows...
