- DOI
- A “Digital Object Identifier” is a string of characters (e.g. Donoho (2023)) that uniquely identifies an object (any object: physical, digital, or conceptual). Read more on the official DOI website.
- Frontmatter
- A way of embedding metadata with YAML at the front (top) of a document. Frontmatter can be embedded at the top of a Markdown document or in the first Markdown cell of a Jupyter Notebook. Read more in the official MyST frontmatter docs.
- Open science
- A movement to make research products (papers, data, software) and processes accessible to everyone. A more stringent interpretation of open science involves enabling not just access, but collaboration, throughout the scientific process, not just at the end. Read more on Wikipedia.
- ORCID
- An “Open Researcher and Contributor ID” that uniquely identifies an academic contributor and enables tracking and associating their identity with DOIs. Read more on the official ORCID website.
- Provenance
- The history or chronology of a thing. The provenance of your research products can be established and verified by publishing the source code and creating DOIs.
- Scooping
- Being “beaten to the punch” or left in second place in the attempt to publish research or a discovery. This term is often used as a counter-argument for open science by implying that sharing your work openly will result in plagiarism. For more, please read Afraid of Scooping – Case Study on Researcher Strategies against Fear of Scooping in the Context of Open Science.
