co-creation workshop on the democratization of open science at LMU; May 15 15:00-17:00
by LMU Open Science Center News April 24, 2024

April 24, 2024

Dear open science enthusiasts, The OSC is happy to welcome Iris Lechner (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) to conduct an in person co-creation workshop on the democratization of open science at LMU. When: May 15 2024, 15:00-17:00 Where: Room 3322 in Leopoldstr. 13 Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/democratize-W-1/ Abstract: During this workshop Iris Lechner will provide an interactive co-creation workshop to explore ideas on how Open Science can be democratized at LMU. We raise questions such as, how can we change the perceptions of open science? How can we foster institutional change and rewards? What are barriers towards Open Science at the university, and how can we overcome them? What can you as an individual researcher or student, do to foster Open Science practices? During the workshop we will do several interactive exercises to think about out-of-the-box solutions to democratize Open Science. We will focus on exploring ideas, identifying barriers and how to overcome them to strengthen Open Science for individual researchers and in a team setting. Target audience: The workshop is open to all levels of career stages: students, PhD candidates, post-docs, lecturers and professors. Instructor: Iris Lechner is PhD candidate at the philosophy department of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her thesis focuses on the question 'what is a good university?'. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and sciences she studied health sciences and bioethics. Recently, her interests have geared to social epistemology, philosophy of higher education, research integrity and the application of qualitative research methods in these fields.

online meeting 10.05: "The Good, the Bad and the Inbetween - The many facets of quality in scholarly publishing"
by LMU Open Science Center News April 19, 2024

April 19, 2024

Dear all, We all want to avoid publishing in predatory journals, but which journals are predatory? Where is the border between the good and the bad? (Is there any clear border at all?) The online Open Science Initiative in Medicine (OSIM)-meeting on Friday May 10th, 14.00-16.00 (previous tentative title: "Predatory Journals") will this time take the form of a small workshop with discussion led by our three guests, including two co-leaders of the project 'Predatory Publishing', part of Austrian Transition to Open Access 2. Please find a teaser below. This online workshop is open to all LMU employees and students, including people who are not in the OSIM mailing list. You are welcome to join! No registration needed. https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/99839017446?pwd=VjdGcWpldktwWnlxaG1ETEFBRlE2UT… Best wishes Anne-Laure Boulesteix Title: The Good, the Bad and the Inbetween - The many facets of quality in scholarly publishing The relevance and validity of the sciences as well as the reputation of scholars are more and more questioned, at best, or put in disrepute, at worst. Upholding the highest quality standards in scholarly communication is thus of vital importance for scholarship as well as for safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly commons and the scholarly ecosystem. Predatory publishing has gained much prominence in recent years as one new persistent phenomenon that undermines the foundation of scholarly publishing and its principles and standards. On the 10th of May you are invited to a lively discussion and exchange on this matter. Veronika Reinertshofer (UB LMU) Susanne Luger (JKU Linz, Project 'Predatory Publishing', Austrians Transition to Open Access 2) and Clara Ginther (University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna, Project 'Predatory Publishing', Austrians Transition to Open Access 2) will provide short inputs on quality and scholarly publishing as well as predatory publishing. This is interlaced with opportunities for discussion and exploration. The aim is to initiate an ongoing dialogue on how to address these questionable practices which are ever-evolving and changing. Susanne Luger is head of the department License Management and Scholarly Services at University Library of the Johannes Kepler University Linz. Clara Ginter is Head of the University Library at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. They co-lead the project 'Predatory Publishing', part of Austrian Transition to Open Access 2 (AT2OA2). Veronika Reinertshofer is employee of the University Library of LMU Munich and works in the associated electronic publishing divisions: publishing services open access.

FAIR data documentation in the social sciences - online workshop 30.04.
by LMU Open Science Center News April 9, 2024

April 9, 2024

Dear social scientists and students, The OSC is pleased to welcome Dr. Katarina Blask (Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID)) to deliver the workshop: "FAIR data documentation in the social sciences - an online workshop providing hands-on guidance" When: April 30 2024, 09:00-13:00 Where: Online Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/FAIR-soc-sci/ Transparency and openness in the research process are becoming increasingly important in all scientific fields - including the social sciences. Accordingly, researchers should not only make research results freely available, for example in the form of scientific articles (open access), but also provide research data, analysis scripts and study materials. However, the reusability of the data made available requires comprehensive research data management (RDM) on the part of the researchers. In particular, research data should be made available in accordance with the FAIR principles, meaning that research data should be Findable, Accessible, and usable (Interoperable and Reusable). In this workshop, you will learn about FAIR data management in the social sciences. Specifically, you will 1) create a data management plan and 2) get an introduction to FAIR data documentation. Target audience: PhD students and post-docs from the social sciences (e.g. psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc). However, interested students are also welcome. Prerequisites: There is no prior knowledge required on research data management or the implementation of the FAIR principles. To participate in the hands-on session on data management planning, please create an account for the DMPTool https://dmptool.org/ if you do not already have one. Logistics: This event will be held online. Priority will be given to LMU members. Non-members will receive confirmation whether their attendance is possible at least 2 days before the workshop.
