Contribution to Open Science

prismAId supports Open Science in many aspects:

Transparency and Reproducibility

prismAId ensures transparency in the analysis process, making it easier for other researchers to understand, replicate, and validate the findings.
prismAId removes the subjectivity of individual interpretations, making systematic literature reviews 100% reproducible.
As a software tool, prismAId helps maintain detailed logs and records of the analysis process, enhancing reproducibility.

prismAId facilitates collaboration among researchers by providing an open tool that makes it possible to share data, analysis methods, and results.
prismAId is open source and openly licensed. Making analysis tools openly available promotes wider participation and contribution from the scientific community.
prismAId releases and their source code are archived on Zenodo, ensuring long-term accessibility and referencability. This helps address legacy issues for analyses conducted using prismAId, making the tool and its results open, replicable, and understandable over the long run.

prismAId can handle large volumes of data efficiently, making the analysis phase quicker and more scalable compared to traditional methods.
This efficiency supports open science by allowing more comprehensive and timely reviews, reducing the time society needs to properly ‘digest’ scientific innovations.

By explicitly defining each piece of reviewed information through prompt configurations, prismAId enhances the quality and accuracy of data extraction and analysis, leading to more reliable systematic reviews.
Publishing prismAId project configuration files ensures that approaches, biases, and methods are visible and verifiable by the broader research community. By doing so, they are also reusable and extendable.

Using prismAId means explicitly addressing biases and incorporating ethical considerations in its design and implementation to minimize biases in data analysis.
prismAId enables open science approaches, ensuring full transparency on ethical standards, with community oversight and input helping to identify and mitigate potential biases.

prismAId promotes scientific innovation by fully formalizing the analysis process, creating standardized procedures that ensure consistency and accuracy in systematic reviews.
This formalization makes methods and procedures reusable and extendable, allowing researchers to build upon previous analyses and adapt methods to new contexts.
By facilitating incremental discoveries, prismAId supports the cumulative advancement of science, where each study contributes to a larger body of knowledge.
prismAId’s commitment to open science principles ensures that all tools, methods, and data are openly accessible, fostering collaboration and rapid dissemination of innovations.
