Invitation to “NFDI@LMU” & Talk „The Future of Publications and Scientific Exchange in the Age of AI” (07.11.2023)
by LMU Open Science Center News Oct. 26, 2023

Oct. 26, 2023

Dear all, The National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) will change the landscape of Research Data Management (RDM) in the next ten years. With the final funding decisions made in March 2023, a total of 26 consortia (+ one union of consortia – Base4NFDI) aim to address the specific RDM needs of almost (every) research field. More than half of the consortia have participants affiliated with LMU. To raise awareness and to showcase the activities of the NFDI, we invite you to our hybrid “NFDI@LMU” meeting on November 7th . The event will introduce the topic Open Research Data and the corresponding LMU activities – with input by the Open Science Center, Research Funding (Unit VIII.3) and the University Library. The introduction is followed by a talk by Prof. Albrecht Schmidt (Human-Centered Ubiquitous Media @ LMU Munich/NFDIxCS) on the “Future of Publications and Scientific Exchange in the Age of AI”. The talks are followed by a working session to bring together the participants of NFDI consortia. The event is open for all interested students, researchers and staff at LMU. Location: Fachbibliothek Philologicum, Veranstaltungsraum, Ludwigstraße 25, 80539 München or via Zoom Program: 14:00-15:15 Open talks on RDM and NFDI activities [hybrid format, open to the public -> For virtual participation please register here: https://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/u5codeCopjoiHtRS3Lw7C4drmnuWm…] * Basics of Open Data and Research Data Management * Introduction to Open Research Data (Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt, LMU Open Science Center) * Overview of NFDI and related activities at LMU (Dr. Martin Spenger, University Library LMU) * RDM Resources at LMU and Relevance for Research Funding (Dr. Florian Schreck, LMU Research Funding (Unit VIII.3)) * Talk: The Future of Publications and Scientific Exchange in the Age of AI (Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schmidt, Human-Centered Ubiquitous Media @ LMU Munich/NFDIxCS) * Abstract: “Scientific insights are largely shared through publications. Ideas, methods, and results are published in research papers, which are the core of scientific exchange. Quality control through peer review is closely linked to scientific publications, as is the reputation of researchers. But publications do not tell the whole story of the research that has been conducted. Will (generative) AI fundamentally change how we facilitate scientific exchange? Are research papers still an appropriate way to share research approaches and findings? In this talk, we discuss alternatives for capturing insights and sharing knowledge.” 15:15-15:30 Break 15:30-16:30 Update and Working session for NFDI members at LMU [hybrid format, primarily open to NFDI participants -> For virtual participation please register here: https://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/u5cudOmqqD0qG93bzkHzi6Tguif_y…] Please register for the talks and the working session separately. If you have any questions in advance, please contact us here: rdm(a)ub.uni-muenchen.de<mailto:rdm@ub.uni-muenchen.de> We hope to see many of you on November 7th either in person or online. Kind regards, Dr. Martin Spenger for RDM Information @ University Library LMU

Call for application: Software, Data, and Library Carpentry instructor training
by LMU Open Science Center News Oct. 5, 2023

Oct. 5, 2023

Are you interested in becoming a certified instructor to teach your software, data, or library skills that facilitate open and reproducible research? Through generous funding from the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML<https://mcml.ai/>), the LMU Open Science Center (OSC<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>) and MCML have established an institutional membership between LMU Munich and The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/>. The Carpentries is a non-profit, community-led organisation, which specialises in teaching basic Software<https://software-carpentry.org/>, Data<https://datacarpentry.org/>, or Library<https://librarycarpentry.org/> skills to researchers of all career stages and across disciplines, in an inclusive environment. By training trainers to teach reproducible tools that increase integrity, credibility, and reuse, this partnership will foster the expansion of the open science community in Munich. As part of the institutional membership, we are able to offer training, free of charge, for 15 members (students or staff) of the LMU and TUM Universities to qualify as instructors for The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/teach/>. Five of these seats are reserved in priority for MCML members. The training involves attendance of a 16-hour online event<https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/>, followed by a simple check-out process. Applicants are expected to already know or be willing to learn on their own at least one of the practical skills they would teach in their future workshops (e.g. R and/or Python and/or Unix Shell and/or Git, and/or Open Refine and/or SQL, etc.), as the instructor training will focus on the didactics around teaching said skill(s). Certified instructors will then be able to help deliver Software<https://software-carpentry.org/>, Data<https://datacarpentry.org/>, or Library<https://librarycarpentry.org/> Carpentry workshops using the existing open source training material from the Carpentries, for example by co-teaching a workshop for their research group, department, or in a Faculty where computing skills training isn't currently part of official curricula. We expect newly trained instructors to be involved in the delivery of at least one workshop in LMU or TU Munich within 12 months of completing the training. If interested, please read the information below and fill out this application form<https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/carpentries-application>. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with the OSC coordinator, Dr. Malika Ihle (malika.ihle(a)lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de>), or the MCML open science transfer coordinator, Dr. Moritz Herrmann (moritz.herrmann(a)stat.uni-muenchen.de<mailto:moritz.herrmann@stat.uni-muenchen.de>). Timeline Application deadline: 13 November 2023, 08:00 CET Instructor training: Those offered a place are encouraged to attend the online training as soon as possible, from November 2023. Participation for the whole duration of the training is required. This 16-hour event can take place over 2 or 4 days. Minimally two sessions are provided each month, and new dates are shared every quarter. Please see the training calendar<https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/training_calendar.html> for upcoming sessions. Workshop delivery: We expect newly trained instructors to be involved in the delivery of at least one Carpentries workshop at the LMU or TU Munich within one year of completing the training. Eligibility criteria This call is aimed at postgraduate research students, research staff or fellows, and research support staff from any department, who expect to be based in Munich at least through the end of June 2025. Selection criteria Places will be allocated in line with the goal of building a sustainable community of instructors based in Munich. Criteria include: * career stage, motivation, and experience (i.e., balance between early-career researchers interested in building a community of peers, and permanent university staff already involved in training); * representation across Faculties/Schools (i.e., balance between disciplines with high demand for training in computing skills, and disciplines with limited training opportunities in this area); * previous involvement with the LMU Open Science Center and/or with The Carpentries (both favoured, but not necessary); * a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, to ensure that all future workshop participants are able to access training in a welcoming environment. We warmly encourage recent practitioners of software, data or library skills (e.g. students or early career researchers), and members who identify with groups that have been historically excluded from computer science and related fields (e.g., women, people of colour and/or from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community) to apply.

hybrid seminar tomorrow: Replicability of Simulation Studies
by LMU Open Science Center News Oct. 4, 2023

Oct. 4, 2023

Dear open science enthusiasts interested in statistical methods, This hybrid seminar may be of interest: Presenter: Kim Luijken (University Medical Center Utrecht, NL) Title: Replicability of Simulation Studies for the Investigation of Statistical Methods: The RepliSims Project When: Thursday 5 October 2023 at 10 am s.t. Where in person: Library of IBE (LMU Klinikum, room K U1 831, Marchioninistraße 15, 81377 München) Join on Zoom: https://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/j/8425469395?pwd=TlBNbFpqekxNRmRjUWhqazRiNnFld… Abstract: Results of simulation studies evaluating the performance of statistical methods are often considered actionable and thus can have a major impact on the way empirical research is implemented. However, so far there is limited evidence about the reproducibility and replicability of statistical simulation studies. In the RepliSims project, we assessed replicability of eight highly cited statistical simulation studies in teams of replicators based on reported information in the original publications. The talk will go over the lessons learned from this replication endeavor as well as the findings on replicability of the evaluated studies. The aim is to stimulate a group discussion on the concepts of 'reproducibility' and 'replicability' for statistical simulation studies. Best wishes Malika PS: sorry for the last minute announcement - the term 'replicability' was triggering the spam filter of our faculty server, bouncing this email for almost 2 weeks! -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator @MalikaIhle<https://twitter.com/MalikaIhle> | @MalikaIhle@scicomm.xyz<https://scicomm.xyz/web/@MalikaIhle> www.osc.lmu.de<http://www.osc.lmu.de/> | @lmu_osc<https://twitter.com/lmu_osc> |@lmu_osc@scicomm.xyz<https://scicomm.xyz/web/@lmu_osc> www.linkedin.com/company/lmu-open-science-center <http://www.linkedin.com/company/lmu-open-science-center> Mailing-list sign-up: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc
