1. OSC news

The Open Science Center now has a coordinator!

We are very happy to introduce you to our first Open Science Center Coordinator Malika Ihle, who joined our team on the 1st May 2022.
Malika has been dedicated to improve the openness, reliability, and reproducibility of her own research, as well as academic research in general, during her PhD and post-docs in the field of biology. She has then coordinated Reproducible Research Oxford, a grassroots initiative promoting open research at the University of Oxford, for 2.5 years, before chosing to join us to continue fulfilling her vocation. We are very excited to welcome her to the OSC.

2. Future event

Please register<https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/webinar/register/2416520857061/WN_5dfoqO6eRAmCQMyw7OOhSw> for this symposium and panel discussion jointly organised by the LMU OSC and the Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV) :

20.06.2022, 16:00-18:00: "How paper mills publish fake science industrial-style - is there really a problem and how does it work?"

Our trust in academic publishing is the foundation of science. However, there is now an unprecedented industry-style, AI-supported production by paper mills of fake scientific manuscripts which has scaled-up to support a billion-euro industry. Its scope is a concerning, systematic criminal attack on the permanent scientific record.

·       “Fake science publications by paper-mills: pollution of the permanent scientific record” by  Bernhard Sabel (Director, Inst. of Medical Psychology, Univ. Magdeburg)
·       "Radical steps to improve the quality of the preclinical research literature" by Jennifer Byrne (Director of Biobanking, NSW Health Pathology, Univ. Sydney)
·       “Scientific fraud: whose problem is it?" by Dorothy Bishop (Prof. of Developmental Neuropsychology, Univ. Oxford)
·       “The publishers´ perspective of fraud & fake in scientific publishing” by  Chris Graf (Research Integrity Director, Springer/Nature, London)

This event will be hybrid and take place at Luisenstr. 37, Munich as well as on Zoom.

3. Publications from our members

In this section we feature selected papers from our members relating to open research.

·       Our member Julian Unkel was a co-author for: „An agenda for open science in communication“. In order to face the challenges which have caused low reproducibility in ommunication research, seven suggestions to adopt open science practices are proposed… (https://doi.org/10.1093/joc/jqz052)
·       Our members Katrin Auspurg and Josef Brüderl also published a new paper: „Has the Credibility of the Sciences Been Credibly Destroyed? Reanalyzing the "Many Analysts, One Data Set" Project“. The paper gives insight into why the results on this project diverged so much and how in the future this can be avoided. This leads to a broad conclusion on how social science research can become more credible… (https://doi.org/10.1177/23780231211024421)

Note: If you have a new publication about open research and related topics, send a note to franka.etzel at campus.lmu.de<mailto:franka.etzel at campus.lmu.de>, and we will be happy to feature it in our next newsletter.
