[LMU-OSC News] Welcome our new members: 4 researchers and 1 institute

[LMU Open Science Center News]

# Please welcome our new members - [4 
researchers](https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/newsmember4/index.html) 
and [1 
institute](https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/newsmember5/index.html):


### Prof. Dr. Marco Düring (Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research)
https://www.isd-research.de/duering-lab

I am research group leader and Professor for Experimental Neurology at 
the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research.

Research must always be performed in an open and reproducible fashion. 
This is especially true in the age of big data, which can facilitate 
questionable research practices, such as p-hacking. Sharing methodology, 
pre-specifying analyses and independent replication are the best tools 
to solve the reproducibility crisis. I’m looking forward to working 
with the Open Science center in order to promote Open Science.



### Dr. Julian Unkel (Department of Media and Communication)
https://www.ls1.ifkw.uni-muenchen.de/personen/wiss_ma/unkel_julian/index.html

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Media and 
Communication. My field has been slowly but steadily adapting open 
science practices in the last few years. I try to promote open science 
by consequently following open science standards in my own research, by 
contributing to open-source research software development, and by 
integrating topics such as preregistration and reproducibility into my 
course syllabi. I am also part of an international multi-author team 
that suggests “An agenda for open science in Communication” in the 
Journal of Communication.

### Prof. Dr. Helmut Küchenhoff (Statistical consulting laboratory)
https://www.stablab.stat.uni-muenchen.de/personen/leitung/kuechenhoff1/index.html

I am head of the Statistical Consulting Unit (StaBLab) at the Department 
of Statistics, LMU. I want to integrate the ideas of open science and 
reproducable research into our consulting practice.

### Dr. Julia Schulte-Cloos (Geschwister-Scholl-Institute for Political 
Science)
https://www.gsi.uni-muenchen.de/personen/wiss_mitarbeiter/julia_schulte-cloos_dr/index.html

I am LMU Research Fellow at the Geschwister Scholl Institute of 
Political Science and an advocate of open science. I have been actively 
involved in teaching reproducible research. I am convinced that 
spreading knowledge about research transparency tools and practices 
helps to promote support for open science among students and the 
scientific community. I am also a member of the catalyst network of the 
Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS).

### The Department of Statistics
https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/newsmember5/index.html

The Department of Statistics does research on development and 
application of statistical and machine learning methods. Statistical 
consulting and teaching are at the core of the department. It is located 
next to the Siegestor in Munich (see image).

The LMU Department of Statistics supports the goals of the OSC and wants 
to take on a leading role in fostering good research practices and 
promoting open science. The department believes that statistics as a 
subject plays a major role in solving the reproducibility crisis and in 
working towards better, open research.


*With our 4 new members, from 4 different disciplines, the OSC counts 54 
members from 15 disciplines.*
