### Journal Club: "ReproducibiliTea: Discussion of central issues and papers concerning Open Science and related topics" We launch an interdisciplinary journal club, in which main questions and current topics concerning Open Science will be discussed. We follow the "ReproducibiliTea" model many locations have adopted. There will be tea, juice and small snacks to live up to the slogan. Everybody is also welcomed to bring their own food and drinks. If you are interested, you are cordially invited to join the first meeting **tomorrow**: **When**: December 18th 2019, 12:30pm-2:00pm **Where**: Room 1407 (house 1, 4th floor), Leopoldstrasse 13, 80802 München **More information**: stephan.nuding(a)yahoo.de As a first paper we chose a classical paper: Ioannidis, J. P. A. (2005). Why Most Published Research Findings Are False. PLoS Medicine, 2(8), 6. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124 It would be helpful to read the paper by the first session (but we'll provide a short summary to bring everyone on the same page). The we will have a discussion about the paper and related topics, in which you will also be able to bring in your own comments, questions or criticism. If you are unable to attend the first meeting of the Journal Club, you can simply send an e-mail to stephan.nuding(a)yahoo.de to join the mailing list for the following sessions. Organizational team: Felix Schönbrodt, LMU Open Science Center (OSC) Laura Goetz, students council of Psychology Stephan Nuding, students council of Psychology Leonhard Schramm, students council of Psychology --- ![](cid:36643C0F-1A4F-4318-A13F-B481BE4C6479@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc [Unsubscribe](https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc) from the newsletter.

Upcoming talk on "Design of Replication Experiments"
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 12, 2019

Dec. 12, 2019

[News from our website: https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/held/index.html] ##Upcoming talk "The harmonic mean chi-squared test to substantiate scientific findings" by Prof. Dr. Leonhard Held, Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Zurich and Director of the Center for Reproducible Science **Abstract**: Statistical methodology plays a crucial role in drug regulation. Decisions by the FDA or EMA are typically made based on multiple primary studies testing the same medical product, where the two-trials rule is the standard requirement, despite a number of shortcomings. A new approach is proposed for this task based on the (weighted) harmonic mean of the squared study-specific test statistics. Appropriate scaling ensures that, for any number of studies, the null distribution is a chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom. Further properties are discussed and a comparison with the two-trials rule is made, as well as with alternative research synthesis methods. An attractive feature of the new approach is that a claim of success requires each study to be convincing on its own to a certain degree depending on the significance level and the number of studies. A real example with 5 clinical trials investigating the effect of Carvedilol for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe heart failure patients is used to illustrate the methodology. As a by-product, the approach provides a calibration of the sceptical p-value recently proposed for the analysis of replication studies. **Speaker**: Leonhard Held is Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Zurich and Director of the Center for Reproducible Science. **When**: 5.2.2020 von 16:00 - 18:00 Uhr **Where**: Luisenstrasse 37, Raum C006 --- ![](cid:3461DCD4-71A5-4386-83D4-5A175A3EF6D7@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc [Unsubscribe](https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc) from the newsletter.

Workshop on Open Access: Options, Requirements and Funding Possibilities
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 9, 2019

Dec. 9, 2019

Dear researcher, on January 20, 2020 we organize a first workshop on Open Access for LMU researches from all disciplines and of all career levels (after the PhD). We aim at providing general orientation on how to publish Open Access as well as on specific requirements and funding possibilities offered by different funders. The LMU Open Science Center, the University Library and the Unit for Research Funding join forces to present you an overview on Open Access in order to enhance research transparency and provide you with the necessary tools to fulfill the guidelines of research funders such as the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the European Commission. The workshop consists of information and discussion sessions and invites attendees to participate actively. Please pass this information on to other interested LMU researchers. The number of participants is limited, slots will be available on a first come, first serve basis. Workshop “Open Access: Options, Requirements and Funding Possibilities” **Date:** Monday, 20 January 2020, 9.00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. **Location:** Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Leopoldstr. 30 Training room S1, ground floor **Speakers:** * PD Dr. Felix Schönbrodt, LMU Open Science Center (OSC) * Volker Schallehn, Andrea Dorner, Vanessa Gabriel, LMU University Library * Dr. Veit Schwab, Dr. Anna Pahl, LMU Unit for Research Funding Please find further information and the registration link here: www.serviceportal.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de/services/forschungsservices/_n…<http://www.serviceportal.verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de/services/forschungsserv…> For questions please contact Dr. Veit Schwab or Dr. Anna Pahl at the Unit for Research Funding (Email: forschungsfoerderung(a)verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de<mailto:forschungsfoerderung@verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de>, Tel: 089 2180-72274 or -72283).
