We are especially looking forward to continuing our collaborations with the Munich Cluster for System Neurology and with the Excellence Cluster ORIGINS, both Funding Institutional Members of the OSC. Congratulations on the success of this monumental application project! 🎉 Survey results: Open Research at the LMU Biomedical Center 📊 A survey we conducted In January 2025 at the BMC revealed strong awareness but limited practice of open research practices, with key barriers being lack of training, norms, and incentives. Respondents overwhelmingly requested more training (particularly for FAIR data and code sharing), expert consultations, and community support. The OSC will strive to provide these services at the BMC, an Institutional Member of the OSC, to the limits of our time-capacity. Access the report and associated data, material, and code<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15304213>. 📢OSC Institutional Members can contact us to coordinate the administration of this survey which assess attitudes toward open research practices and recruitment criteria. 📝 2. News from OSC members Prof. Dr. Anne-Laure Boulesteix awarded meta-research grant! 🌟Member of OSC's first Scientific Board Team and senior member of the Open Science Initiative in Medicine, Anne-Laure has been awarded €750,000 over five years by the DFG - Reinhart Koselleck project. Her project, titled “Design, interpretation and reporting of empirical evaluations of statistical methods” focuses on metascience and replicability in the context of methodological statistical research. Congratulations!🎉We look forward to seeing how this research will advance open and rigorous research practices and to connect it with other LMU meta-research programs! Guidelines about research data integrity by Dr. Elmar Spiegel 📚Ensuring research data integrity is essential for accuracy and reproducibility. Our associate member Dr. Elmar Spiegel from Helmholtz proposed practical guidelines for handling research data from planning and collection to processing: Guidelines for Research Data Integrity<https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-024-04312-x> and a checklist<https://ascgitlab.helmholtz-munich.de/cf_statcon/grdi> to improve robustness and reliability in science. 3. Events Upcoming Events Research Data Rescue Hackathon - August 7 🗂️The Trump administration is aggressively deleting<https://www.ft.com/content/ccb0c850-f466-4b74-8c07-7d01230679a4> scientific and governmental research data, purging thousands of web pages and datasets related to climate, health, demographics, LGBTQ + issues, and more — silently erasing vital knowledge that underpins scientific progress. Grassroot initiatives like the "Data Rescue Project<https://www.datarescueproject.org>" and "Safeguarding Research & Culture<https://safeguar.de>" have mobilized volunteers, librarians, and scientists to download and archive these resources before they are lost forever. We are running a hackathon which will directly support these efforts: Join the global coalition of data rescuers by turning your own laptop into a Research Data Rescue Node, scraping at-risk data sets, and breathing new life into your old HDD as part of the global, decentralised network. 📦 Data Rescue Hackathon — 07.08.2025, 16:00–19:00 📍 Leopoldstr. 13, Munich 🍕 Free pizza! 👉 Interested?

These include lectures from OSC's Managing Director Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt and Coordinator Dr. Malika Ihle, but also keynotes from * Prof. Dr. Richard McElreath, Director of Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology: "Science as amateur software development" * Dr. Tim Errington, Senior Director of Research at the Center for Open Science: "Assessing the replicability of research" Recent Events Reports “Open Access: From DEAL to Diamond” 💎 On June 24, we hosted an event on managing publication costs and the future of publishing. The DEAL is a national initiative that negotiates publishing agreements and processing fees with for-profit academic publishers. Diamond Open Access, in contrast, refers to publishing models where neither authors nor readers pay fees, supported instead by institutions or public funds. Over 70 guests joined the event to discuss publication models beyond the DEAL, aiming to regain scientific autonomy. Discussion of these alternative models included: * Journal flips or founding of Diamond Open Access journals * Community-led publishing like Peer Community In<https://peercommunityin.org/> * “Replacing Journals” — exploring a modular and interoperable infrastructure designed as a public good for scholarly publishing Sounds interesting? Check out the recording<https://osf.io/zn38s> and slides<https://osf.io/bhfcr> from the event! Software Carpentry Workshops 💻Twelve out of our 15 newly certified Software Carpentry instructors have already collaboratively delivered 4 two-day workshops covering the Shell, Git, and either R or Python. Over 150 early career researchers registered to attend and fill our 100 available seats! Attendees came from the Faculties of Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Business Administration, Statistics, Social Sciences, Language & Literature, History & Arts, and Study of Culture.

Data Under Threat — Join the Data Rescue Hackathon (Aug 7)
by LMU Open Science Center News July 11, 2025

July 11, 2025

Dear colleagues, the Trump administration has aggressively removed scientific and governmental research data from public access, purging thousands of web pages and datasets related to climate, health, demographics, LGBTQ + issues, and more — silently erasing vital knowledge that underpins scientific progress. While some European institutions start backing up at-risk research data, the data rescue movement is driven by grassroots efforts like the "Data Rescue Project" and the "Safeguarding Research & Culture" initiative, who have mobilized volunteers, librarians, and scientists to download and archive these resources before they are lost forever. 🚀 Join the LMU Open Science Center Safeguar.de Hackathon [PastedGraphic-1.png] At this hands-on event, we welcome Henrik Schönemann (HU Berlin), an initiator of safeguar.de, for an ignition talk. In the practical part, we will directly support the data rescue efforts: * Learn & Build: Install a BitTorrent client on your own machine to seed and safeguard critical research datasets. Scrape at-risk data sets. * Repurpose Old Hardware: Turn old 2.5" HDDs, Raspberry Pis, or laptops into dedicated data rescue nodes by installing Linux and setting up archiving tools. * Improve Tools & Docs: Write better documentation and develop one-click installation scripts to simplify deployment on any system. When: Thursday, 7 August 2025, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Where: Leopoldstr. 13, 80802 München (exact location will be announced to registered participants) 🤝 Open to Everyone — Not Just Coders While some parts are technical, we welcome everyone to contribute to: Outreach, documentation, coordination, creative ideas. Let’s work together to preserve scientific knowledge and build a resilient, community-powered data infrastructure. You can contribute to the project by ... * Donating old hardware and/or * Attending the Hackathon * Participating in the discussions 👉 Register your interest and stay informed: https://surveys.osc.lmu.de/safeguard-hackathon Best regards, Felix Schönbrodt & Philipp Sckopke LMU Open Science Center --- Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany Managing Director of the LMU Open Science Center | http://www.osc.lmu.de Psychological Methods and Assessment, Department Psychology | https://www.psy.lmu.de/pm/personen/lehrstuhlmitarbeiter/schoenbrodt/index.h… http://www.nicebread.de http://www.researchtransparency.org http://www.shinyapps.org Mastodon: @nicebread@scicomm.xyz<https://scicomm.xyz/web/@nicebread> ‌

Juni 2025 09:27 To: 'lmu-osc(a)lists.lrz.de' <lmu-osc(a)lists.lrz.de> Subject: Call for applications: Open Science Summer School including Instructor Training track, Sept 15-19, Hybrid Dear Open Science enthusiasts, The LMU Open Science Center (OSC) is excited to announce the call for applications for its 5th hybrid summer school (OSSS25): deadline July 14! Please circulate to whomever this may be relevant! This year's iteration has two tracks to provide participants with two sets of skills. You are invited to apply for one or both tracks. For either track, you can choose to participate either online or in-person (Philologicum Library, Ludwigstraße 25, Munich or on Zoom). Track 1: Open Science knowledge and skills In this track, early career researchers who are Open Science novices learn to make their research more transparent, reproducible and credible in the eyes of their peers, the public, and funding agencies. This track consists of public lectures accessible to anyone as well as hands-on practical workshops for selected applicants and extends from Monday 15.09.2025 9:00 to Friday 19.09.2025 14:30. Participants of this track learn how to: * Specify research design and set up statistical plans in advance of collecting data to prevent biases in analyses, with the help of preregistration and data simulation; * Create computationally reproducible workflows to be more efficient and spot mistakes in data wrangling or analyses, through programming with version-controlled scripts; * Prepare and share data and code in connection with manuscripts by applying the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable principles, and using adequate repositories and licenses to accumulate credit and citations. Keynote presenters: * Prof Richard McElreath, Director of MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology * Dr Tim Errington, Senior Director of Research at the Center for Open Science Track 2: Open Science instructor training In this track, early career researchers or research support staff interested in becoming Open Science instructors develop essential pedagogical skills to promote Open Science through teaching - no prior experience in teaching required. This track extends from Friday 19.09.2025 14:30 to 17:30. Participants of this track learn how to: * Design and deliver Open Science workshops, and apply basic didactic techniques to diverse audiences; * Apply activation methods in the classroom to foster motivation and attention; * Develop skills to advocate for Open Science, to lead research groups and discussions around Open Science, and to analyse the potential challenges and issues around the implementation of Open Science practices. After joining this track, you will have the opportunity to put your new skills into practice and co-deliver a workshop at LMU to become a certified Open Science instructor. Participating * You can apply for Track 1, Track 2 or both, before July 14 by visiting the summer school website, reviewing selection criteria, and filling out the application form: https://lmu-osc.github.io/Open-Science-Summer-School-2025/Join.html * Alternatively, you can solely attend the public lectures online upon simple registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS25/ * All materials of the summer school will be made available publicly with an open license here: https://osf.io/m7h4c/ We are looking forward to your participation!
