Open Science Community on Mastodon - an easy to use online directory
by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 25, 2022

Nov. 25, 2022

Forwarded on behalf of the German Reproducibility Network ________________________________ Dear colleagues, there is currently an intense debate in the scientific community about whether to continue using Twitter. Many scientists use Mastodon as an alternative platform to connect to their colleagues and talk about things that matter to the Open Science movement. Switching to a new platform always involves certain hurdles and opportunity costs. In order to lower these thresholds and aid the development of the Open Science community, the GRN is maintaining a directory of community members to increase findability on Mastodon. So, If you're wondering how to find your existing contacts on Twitter on the new platform this list is your first stop: https://germanrepro.github.io/Mastodon-OpenScience The list serves two purposes, on the one hand you can add your own Mastodon account there to be found easier, on the other hand you can import the accounts stored there (all or selected) into your Mastodon account and follow them directly. A general overview about Mastodon and how it works can be found in the following article: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/08/mastodon-quick-start-guide/ An overview of different server instances (so-called federations) from the scientific field can be found on the following page: https://fediscience.org/server-list.html An interesting analysis, about switching to the new platform, which we would like to recommend, has been written by Andy Tattersall: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2022/11/10/academics-can-eas… Please share this mail with your colleagues and within your networks! Best regards and see you on the other side, Rima, Guido and Maximilian from the GRN

How to build, grow, and sustain open science initiatives, virtual brainstorming event and panel session, November 22-23, 2022
by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 18, 2022

Forwarded on behalf of the German Reproducibility Network which the LMU Open Science Center is now a part of! ________________________________ Dear all, We hope you are well, and please excuse any double-posting of this message. We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming virtual brainstorming event (VBE) on “How to build, grow, and sustain reproducible research or open science initiatives” on November 22-23, 2022. There will also be an optional one-hour welcome session on November 21. The event is open to all individuals passionate about reproducible research and open science. A live panel session on the same topic will be held during the event on November 23. Some of the specific topics that we will discuss during the VBE include: What resources and strategies have you used to start initiatives focusing on reproducibility or open science? What techniques and creative solutions have you tried to grow and sustain your initiative? What worked, and what didn’t work? What challenges or obstacles has your initiative faced? How did you overcome these obstacles? How can we engage initiative participants, while building connections with those who aren’t involved yet? What advice would you give to someone who is just starting an initiative? What do you wish you’d known, when you first became involved? Please sign up to the virtual brainstorming event via this link<https://www.bihealth.org/en/translation/innovation-enabler/quest-center/eve…>. Registration will close when 100 participants have registered, or on November 18. Please sign up for the panel discussion via this link<https://gfz-potsdam-de.zoom.us/meeting/register/u50rf-ihqj0iH9LPgPTRzTSHPAL…>. Panelists are actively involved in initiatives that focus on open science, open code, reproducible research, or guidelines and research practices. Find more information on the panelists and the session via this link<https://www.bihealth.org/en/notices/how-to-build-grow-and-sustain-reproduci…>. Please feel free to share this e-mail with your networks! More information on the event format A virtual brainstorming event (described in more detail here<https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/articles/6-156> and here<https://osf.io/c5gyz/>) is an asynchronous unconference-style group event where participants use an online chat platform (e.g. Slack, Microsoft Teams) to engage in discussions and share their experiences with others of several days. Participants do not need to be online the whole time - we encourage them to check in a few times per day to catch up with the discussion, expand on ideas, and share their thoughts. Participants can also join live discussion in the virtual open space. The discussions in this event will be used to share lessons learned and brainstorm ways to build, grow, and sustain reproducibility or open science initiatives. We may synthesize the discussion and lessons learned through a paper or by posting materials on the German Reproducibility Network website in the months following the event. Please contact Friederike Kohrs (Friederike-elisabeth.kohrs(a)charite.de<mailto:Friederike-elisabeth.kohrs@charite.de>) if you have any questions or concerns. Best wishes, and we hope to see you soon!

by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 8, 2022

Nov. 8, 2022

Dear Open Science enthusiasts The reproducibilitea journal club is resuming its regular hybrid discussions this semester and welcomes researchers from any career stage and any disciplines to discuss papers and ideas about improving science, reproducibility, and the Open Research movement. Please sign up to the reproducibilitea mailing list to stay up-to-date with the programming, and receive meeting links / room information to join! https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/reproducibilitea. You can also contact them with any questions: reproducibilitea.munich(a)gmail.com<mailto:reproducibilitea.munich@gmail.com> Meetings will usually take place every other Fridays 14.30 - 16:00. The first session is: Welcome to the Open Science Universe When? Friday, 11th of November 2022, 14:30-16:00 Where? Hybrid: Room 3322 at Leopoldstraße 13 and via Zoom: Meeting ID: 917 8852 1090 / Password: Replicate (https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/91788521090?pwd=QmJPeEZLcGtYeGlmeGFnazVoUVFzQT…) What? Two members of the organising team, Franka Etzel and Laura Goetz will give an introductory talk on Open Science and the replication crisis (approx. 30 minutes). There will then be an open discussion where you can contribute your own thoughts and questions. Finally, there will be time to get to know each other and talk in smaller groups. This session's primary goal is to welcome newcomers to these topics - so please circulate to whom it may be relevant! Experts are also welcome to join and make the discussion more interesting!

But how can you leverage this to identify and fix common problems in your own research? How can you engage in your own meta research? And will this be beneficial for your career? PD Dr. Ulf Tölch will give an overview of current developments in the field and how these connect to your recent research endeavors. Presenter: PD Dr. Ulf Tölch is Head of research group 'Education, Training & Quality in Research' at the QUEST center for Responsible Research of the Berlin Institute of Heath from the Charité, Berlin Registration: https://en.xing-events.com/RGNEAAB.html 1.
