Scope
Most of us professionals supporting or conducting research have heard of various aspects of open science and scholarship. But do we really understand the why of these practices, do we recognize open science and do we understand its diversity? And can we apply knowledge of open science in our own institutional contexts?
Using the research cycle as a framework, this course will help you navigate the open science landscape in packed but lively sessions. Sessions will include the following topics:
- research preparation, public engagement and citizen science;
- preregistration, reproducibility issues, open code;
- open data;
- preprints, open access, publication strategies;
- open peer review;
- metadata and open science in monitoring and assessment
You will learn how all these are applied by researchers and supported by librarians, data managers and other professionals. All sessions combine presentation, demonstrations, hands-on exploration and discussion. You will leave the course with knowledge and insights but also with ideas and inspiration to include open science perspectives and practices in your own role and context.
Registration coming soon!!
