Presentation: Using Blockchain for Scientific Transparency

Kweku Opoku-Agyemang will give a presentation titled “Using Blockchain for Scientific Transparency” at this year’s Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Washington, D.C., on February 15, 2019.

His presentation will discuss how trusted timestamping, an approach based on Blockchain technologies, offers a way to credibly use observational data with pre-registered pre-analysis plans, and make pre-registered experiments more robust. He will examine how automated trusted timestamping of statistical analyses makes research, replications and meta-analyses more transparent without sacrificing the rigor of science.
