Hybrid workshop: "Version control with Git and GitHub within RStudio" By OSC Fellows & Coordinator When: 15.01.2024, 13:30-16:30 Where: Leopoldstr 13 Munich, room 3322, and on Zoom Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/version-control/ Abstract: Are you working within RStudio to wrangle and analyses your data? Join this 3 hours workshop to learn how to track and manage changes in your code so you never have to save multiple copies of your script again (e.g. before deleting a piece of code or trying a new function, or just for back-up!). Version control with Git and GitHub will make your workflow cleaner and more reproducible and allow you to code (or even write manuscripts) collaboratively. This workshop will focus on how to use Git and Github within the RStudio IDE and consists in facilitated self-paced tutorials: https://github.com/MalikaIhle/Introduction-RStudio-Git-GitHub and https://github.com/MalikaIhle/Collaborative-RStudio-GitHub that include the setting up and configuring of all software required. Participants: The targeted audience are novices regarding version control / Git, but who use RStudio at least occasionally. No R knowledge is necessary. Requirement: Participants must have their own laptop with admin access. Software will be installed as part of the workshop. No previous knowledge necessary. Instructors: Pat Callahan (Epidemiology), Felix Henninger (Statistics), Alp Aksu (Psychology), and Dr. Malika Ihle (LMU Open Science Center coordinator) Logistics: The format of the session is hybrid (you can attend online or in person). The event will be held in English, one-on-one support can be done in German or English. Participation in the workshop is free and open to all. Priority will be given to, in order, members of Departments sponsoring the LMU Open Science Center (Department of Psychology, Faculty of Business Administration, Faculty of Biology), other LMU members, and non-LMU members. Non-members will receive confirmation whether their attendance is possible at least 2 days before the workshop -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator Website: https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> Mailing list: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lmu-osc.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lmu-open-science-center Mastodon: https://scicomm.xyz/@lmu_osc Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc

Workshop 08.01.2024, 15:00: "How to review from an Open Science perspective"
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 18, 2023

Dec. 18, 2023

Hybrid workshop: "How to review from an Open Science perspective" by Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt When: 08.01.2024, 15:00 - 16:00 Where: Leopoldstraße 13, 80802 München, Room 3322<https://www.lmu.de/raumfinder/#/building/bw0601/map?room=060303322_#/buildi…> and on Zoom Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/peer-review/ Abstract Reviewers have a central role in keeping up quality standards and in establishing implicit and explicit norms of academia. Doing this unpaid voluntary work is vital part of academic functioning (including the much-trumpeted self-correction in science) and can be a powerful lever for improving credibility of published research. I will give a short overview of recent developments, including: * the "Peer Reviewer's Openness (PRO) initiative" * the pros and cons of open peer review * New publishing communities that organize open peer review without commercial publishers * personal reviewing standards and pledges. There will be plenty of room for discussion; for example on the specific challenges for early career researchers might face. Target audience: researchers from all empirical fields, all career stages. Organisers: Open Science Initiative in Psychology and LMU Open Science Center -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator Website: https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> Mailing list: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lmu-osc.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lmu-open-science-center Mastodon: https://scicomm.xyz/@lmu_osc Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc

[https://d15k2d11r6t6rl.cloudfront.net/public/users/Integrators/BeeProAgency…] 1. news from the Open Science Center Impact report We compiled an impact report from 2017-2023 which we are excited to share with you here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10285395 It describes all our activities (training, community building, meta-research, consultations, and liaison with stakeholders), our incomes and expenditures, and our future strategies. We believe this report attests of the Center's success! Below are some statistics on training offers since May 2022 when the coordinator role started, as well as on community building and meta- research activities since the OSC’s foundation in 2017. [https://c56553a7c6.imgdist.com/public/users/Integrators/BeeProAgency/795112…] Grant applications LMU Central study grant ✓ We applied to fund the development of self-paced tutorials on open research that can be facilitated at large scale in a hybrid format or “Open science Hybrid-Facilitated Self-paced Tutorials (Open-HyFaST)”. As a result we were granted 141.490 € to cover the coordinator’s position in 2025 as well as training development. 🎉 Freiraum ⊗ We applied with the concept of Open science Hybrid-Facilitated Self-paced Tutorials (Open-HyFaST) for 150.330 € which was declined in the second round of application. Volkswagen Foundation Pioneer Project 2023 ✓ We applied for the call “Pioneer Projects - Impetus for the German Research System” with a project entitled “From local to systemic implementation: Embedding open research in institutional practices” composed of two work packages: (i) a “switch-to-open” program, an intervention designed to help individual research groups transition from closed to open workflows, (ii) a complementary train-the-trainer program focusing on empowering participants to become instructors of open research practices to increase uptake within their disciplines. We were granted 550.000 € to cover the current coordinator position for 2026, a second coordinator position from 2024 to 2026, and other project costs. 🎉🎉 Formation of an advisory board We are in the process of inviting key internal and external advisors to be part of our advisory board so we can benefit from their feedback and experience. The following invitees already accepted to become our advisors: * Prof. Dr. Stephan Hartmann (Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, LMU Munich) * Dr. Bernhard Goodwin (Executive Director of the Munich Science Communication Lab, LMU Munich) * Dr. Tanita Casci (Research Strategy & Policy Unit Director, University of Oxford) * Prof. Dr. Ulrich Dirnagl (Founding Director of the QUEST Center for Responsible Research, Berlin Institute of Health) Carpentry Institutional membership The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/index.html> is a program focusing on teaching foundational coding and data science skills to researchers. With funding from the Munich Center for Machine Learning, the OSC and MCML established a membership with the Carpentries. Twenty-seven researchers from LMU and TUM applied to follow the Carpentries’ train-the-trainer programme, and 15 applicants with great enthusiasm and skills were selected to be trained in 2024. They will deliver workshops open to all before the end of 2025. Didactics of the hybrid summer school 2023 Malika Ihle, our coordinator, provides a glimpse behind the scenes of the LMU Open Research Hybrid Summer School 2023 in an interview for the ZWB Open Science Magazine. How was the programme's content decided? What didactic strategies were used to suit the hybrid format? Read our coordinator’s advice for organizers of future such events: * https://open-science-future.zbw.eu/en/didactics-meets-openness/ * https://open-science-future.zbw.eu/didaktik-trifft-offenheit/ (translated) Hacky Hour Starting in January, on the last Monday of the month, 16:30-18:00, at Wikipedia Munich, Angertorstraße 3, we will hold themed social sessions to talk about code, research tools, and open science.
