Open Data Impact Award 2022: Ausschreibung / call for application
by LMU Open Science Center News May 25, 2022

May 25, 2022

[English below] Mit dem Open Data Impact Award verleiht der Stifterverband einen Preis, um Open Data in der Wissenschaft zu stärken. Open Data besitzt ein großes Innovationspotenzial. Von der Nachnutzung von Forschungsdaten profitieren alle: die Wissenschaft, wenn Datensätze von anderen Forschenden überprüft und weiterentwickelt werden können. Es gewinnt aber auch die Gesellschaft, wenn aus Daten Innovationen entstehen. Doch im Alltag der Wissenschaft wird diese Praxis noch nicht überall gelebt. Zu den Hindernissen zählen unzureichende Ressourcen, bestehende Reputationsmechanismen und fehlendes Wissen. Was der Award bietet: • Eine Fördersumme von insgesamt 30.000 Euro, verteilt auf drei Preisträger • Sichtbarkeit für Preisträger und Thema durch Medien und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, Porträt der Preisträger:innen durch den Medienpartner DUZ • Vernetzung in der Open Science Community Bewerben können sich: Wissenschaftler:innen (oder Forschergruppen) aller Disziplinen an Hochschulen oder außeruniversitären Forschungsinstitutionen mit einem Sitz in Deutschland, die ihre Forschungsdaten offen gestellt und eine innovative Nachnutzung außerhalb der Wissenschaft ermöglicht haben oder das Potenzial für einen gesellschaftlichen Impact durch Nachnutzung ihrer Daten aufzeigen. Die Bewerbungsfrist für alle Einreichungen ist der 10. Juli 2022. Mehr Informationen zur Ausschreibung und den Link zur Bewerbung unter https://www.stifterverband.org/innosci/open-data-impact-award Wir freuen uns, wenn Sie diese Nachricht an Ihre Netzwerke und Personen weiterleiten, die für den Open Data Impact Awardin Betracht kommen. Sie haben noch Fragen? Gerne an: Anna Held Mail: Anna.Held(a)stifterverband.de<mailto:Anna.Held@stifterverband.de> Telefon: 030 322982-538 Stifterverband – Hauptstadtbüro Berlin Mit herzlichen Grüßen das innOsci Team Dear Sir/Madam With the Open Data Impact Award, the Stifterverband is awarding a prize to strengthen Open Data in science. Open Data has great innovation potential. Everyone benefits from the reuse of research data: science, when data sets can be reviewed and further developed by other researchers. But society also benefits when innovations emerge from data. However, this practice is not yet practiced everywhere in everyday science. Barriers include insufficient resources, existing reputation mechanisms, and lack of knowledge. What the award offers: - A total funding amount of 30,000 euros, distributed among three award winners. - Visibility for award winners and topic through media and public relations, portrait of award winners by media partner DUZ - Networking in the Open Science Community Scientists (or research groups) from all disciplines at universities or non-university research institutions based in Germany who have made their research data open and enabled an innovative reuse outside of science or who demonstrate the potential for a societal impact through reuse of their data are eligible to apply. The deadline for all submissions is July 10, 2022. For more information on the call and to link to the application, visit https://www.stifterverband.org/innosci/open-data-impact-award/english We appreciate you forwarding this message to your networks and individuals who may be eligible for the Open Data Impact Award.

Hybrid Symposium on 20.06 at 16:00-18:00: “How paper mills publish fake science industrial-style ― is there really a problem and how does it work?”
by LMU Open Science Center News May 18, 2022

Please register for our next hybrid symposium: How paper mills publish fake science industrial-style ― is there really a problem and how does it work? Time: 20. June 2022, 16.00-18:00 (4 x 15min presentations + 1h panel discussion) Location: Luisenstr. 37, Munich & Zoom Registration<https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/webinar/register/1616521010589/WN_5dfoqO6eRAmCQM…> Organisers: Bernhard A. Sabel (U Magdeburg) and Felix Schönbrodt (LMU Munich) Sponsors: LMU Open Science Center of the LMU Munich and Deutscher Hochschulverband Our trust in the integrity of academic publishing is the very foundation of the advancement of the sciences and medicine. There are many ways scientific misconduct and questionable research practices undermine trust in science, including number nudging, cherry-picking, abstract spin, plagiarism, or pure data fabrication. During the last decade, however, we witnessed an unprecedented and concerning kind of misconduct: Industry-style, semi-automatic production of fake scientific publications by so-called “paper mills”, professional agencies that fake scientific data, figures, tables, and manuscripts including most recently artificial intelligence. While the number of publications with fake science is generally considered to be small, their number has scaled up and reaches concerning levels in some fields (medicine est. 200,000 annually), supporting a billion EURO paper mill business model. It should be considered a systematic criminal attack on the permanent scientific record (Sabel & Seifert 2021). The symposium sheds light on this new phenomenon and provides a discussion forum for the perspectives of researchers, editors, and publishers. 1. “Fake science publications by paper-mills: pollution of the permanent scientific record” Bernhard Sabel (Director, Inst. of Medical Psychology, Univ. Magdeburg) 2. "Radical steps to improve the quality of the preclinical research literature" Jennifer Byrne (Director of Biobanking, NSW Health Pathology, Univ. Sydney) 3. “Scientific fraud: whose problem is it?" Dorothy Bishop (Prof. of Developmental Neuropsychology, Univ. Oxford) 4. “The publishers´ perspective of fraud & fake in scientific publishing” Chris Graf (Research Integrity Director, Springer/Nature, London) Please contact Prof. Bernhard Sabel at SIA(a)med.ovgu.de<mailto:SIA@med.ovgu.de> with any scientific inquiries and Dr Malika Ihle at malika.ihle(a)lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de> with any logistics questions.

Dear LMU OSC community members, My name is Malika and I am the new coordinator of the LMU Open Science Center (LMU OSC<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>). My role will be, for at least the next three years, to * provide peer-to-peer training and develop an open research curriculum, * coordinate grassroots initiatives and organise various events such as seminars and conferences, * support meta-research collaborations, * liaise with local, national (e.g. the German Reproducibility Network (GRN<https://reproducibilitynetwork.de/>)), and international stakeholders to inform the design of incentives and policies, * and co-develop a strategic plan to make the LMU Open Science Center a sustainable entity. Please do not hesitate to contact me at malika.ihle(a)lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de> with any suggestions, requests, or opportunities pertaining to these activities! Prior to this, I have been in a similar role for 2.5 years at the University of Oxford, supporting Reproducible Research Oxford (RROx<https://ox.ukrn.org/>) in developing a comprehensive approach to open scholarship and reproducible research that extends across all disciplines, using both bottom-up and top-down strategies. I also acted as the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN<https://www.ukrn.org/>) local network lead. I hold a PhD in Biology, and I am a founding member of the Society for Open, Reliable, and Transparent Ecology and Evolutionary biology (SORTEE<https://www.sortee.org/>). I am very excited to start supporting this community!
