For a long time, technological obstacles existed preventing transparency from being the norm. With the advent of the internet, however, these obstacles have largely disappeared.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Leading member of the initiative Richard Morley, from the School of Psychology, said: \u201cWe all value openness but as authors it is not necessarily in our best interest to be open. Openness might open us up, for example, to others finding our mistakes. We are therefore trying to increase the amount of open data out there through peer reviews.\u201d <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Professor\u00a0Jo Cable who developed Bin and Remove Cymru (BARC) with the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University stressed the importance of open data for the purpose of public interest. <\/span><br \/>\nDr Cable set up BARC in 2013 to monitor local prevalence of the parasite Toxocara in Cardiff parks. The parasite, which can cause blindness, poses a particular risk to animals like dogs.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe put all our research for the project on to our website for the public to see and we have gained a lot of interest as a result. You have to research things the public are interested in,\u201d she said. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a result of the project\u2019s open data, Professor Cable now works in association with Cardiff parks to try and reduce dog mess which contain the parasite. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MORE transparence is needed in science, say researchers at Cardiff University.
