In a study of nearly 3,000 research articles and conference proceedings published between 2010 and 2017, researchers found that reproducibility and open science literature appeared to adopt different cultural approaches to improve science, with open science literature adopting explicitly communal and prosocial language as well as collaborative authorship networks; women published frequently in high-status author positions within the open science literature, and this participation grew over time, whereas it declined within the reproducibility literature.
