Tired of Recreating someone else’s work? - How Open Science can accelerate research and overcome reinvention

Have you ever found papers on algorithms but their implementation is missing? Found an interesting analysis but there is no way to check the results, as you don’t have access to the data they were derived from? Ever thought you had a great idea for a project, just to find out a year later that you are not the only research group following that specific idea?
