Transparency by Design in eScience Research

Both the landscape of eScience research and the environment in which the research is conducted are undergoing change. Transparency by design in eScience is proposed as a term to describe transparency in eScience practices, processes, methodologies, and research results. We break down different aspects of transparency and urge the eScience community towards a renewed commitment to scientific rigor because of the important role that we as scientists have to improve society and protect the good will that society has bestowed on science.
