Archives that meet these criteria include:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/osf.io\/preprints\">OSF<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/arxiv.org\">arXiv<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/\">Zenodo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/\">bioRxiv<\/a> (if the topic is appropriate)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do university repositories count? They can, but most are very bad at documenting their compliance with the above criteria. I don&#8217;t want to have to &#8220;just trust that this repository is a reliable one&#8221;. If it&#8217;s a trustworthy repository, it can have an &#8220;about&#8221; page that documents its reliability.<\/p>\n<h1>2. For preregistrations, data, and materials, the URL must be in the paper!<\/h1>\n<p>It&#8217;s common for authors to have a repository with a similar but not quite identical name to the paper. Figuring out if the repository is associated with the paper and what content is in it is a difficult and time consuming judgement call. It&#8217;d be better if the criteria were more objective. So put the URL(s) in the paper. Better yet, put it in the abstract!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/document\/8634427\">Here is an example<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OAVIS will still be offering the &#8220;partial credit&#8221; badges for material posted on personal websites or github. But your work is much more reliable if all material needed to replicate or reproduce your work is on a freely accessible, persistent, immutable, and uniquely identifiable repository such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/osf.io\">OSF<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/zenodo.org\/\">Zenodo<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/aspredicted.org\">Aspredicted<\/a>\u00a0(only for preregistrations)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See guides for open materials and data in <a href=\"https:\/\/osf.io\/gt47j\/\">chapter 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>3.\u00a0Papers not shared via a reliable archive will be called out.<\/h1>\n<p>I can&#8217;t force authors to share their publicly funded work reviewed by volunteers. <a href=\"http:\/\/steveharoz.com\/blog\/2019\/an-open-letter-about-open-research-practices-at-ieee-vis\/\">I tried to<\/a>, but I can&#8217;t. However, I see no reason why the OAVIS site should promote research that its visitors cannot read.<\/p>\n<p>OAVIS has mainly operated with an approach of positive reinforcement. But there are many people who the site has not reached. Last year, I tried graphing the authors with the most open and most hidden papers. There was backlash to the latter graph, but many people on the &#8220;most hidden&#8221; list responded by sharing their work. So expect something similar this year.<\/p>\n<h1>4. The site will freeze before the conference. Post your work ASAP.<\/h1>\n<p>The 2019 VIS papers are finalized and sent to the publisher in August. There is no reason to wait months to post them. It&#8217;s not like you can change the paper. All scanning for the site will happen long before the VIS conference begins.<\/p>\n<h1>Aside: Are you unhappy with IEEE&#8217;s draconian copyright?<\/h1>\n<p>Change it!
