With this onslaught of data, we can allow the focal point to shift\ntowards answering the question of how we can analyze and understand the massive\namounts of data in front of us. Unfortunately, lack of standardized sharing\nmechanisms and practices often make reproducing or extending scientific results\nvery difficult. With the creation of data organization structures and tools\nwhich drastically improve code portability, we now have the opportunity to\ndesign such a framework for communicating extensible scientific discoveries.\nOur proposed solution leverages these existing technologies and standards, and\nprovides an accessible and extensible model for reproducible research, called\n\"science in the cloud\" (sic). Exploiting scientific containers, cloud computing\nand cloud data services, we show the capability to launch a computer in the\ncloud and run a web service which enables intimate interaction with the tools\nand data presented. We hope this model will inspire the community to produce\nreproducible and, importantly, extensible results which will enable us to\ncollectively accelerate the rate at which scientific breakthroughs are\ndiscovered, replicated, and extended.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1610.08484v5","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.08484v5.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"science-in-the-cloud-sic-a-use-case-in-mri","repo_url":"https://github.com/neurodata/sic","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"cloud-computing","task_name":"Cloud Computing"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
