April 14, 2026

Meta-science Summer School: Get hands-on training in research on research Interested in learning how to use "research on research" to improve research in your field? Concerned about the quality, reproducibility, rigor and transparency of research? Apply for the Meta-science Summer School (deadline May 22) to get hands-on experience, while collaborating with researchers from different fields and countries. Meta-research studies the research process and tests interventions to improve research quality, culture and practice. During this week-long school (August 23-28, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany), participants will work in small groups with experienced meta-researchers to design and start meta-research, or science of science, studies. Participants may continue working after the summer school to finish and publish their project. The school is open to researchers from any field and welcomes researchers who do not have meta-research experience. There is no cost to attend. Travel funding is available for a limited number of students. Instructors include Tracey Weissgerber, Vladislav Nachev, Malcolm Macleod, Anita Bandrowski, Rachel Heyard, and Marlene Altenmüller. Learn more and apply before May 22: https://www.bihealth.org/en/notices/meta-science-summer-school-designing-an… The school is funded by Volkswagen Stiftung and organized by the BIH QUEST Center for Responsible Research and the EXCELScIOR ERA Chair meta-research team at the University of Coimbra. Supporting organizations include the German Reproducibility Network, META-REP, iRise and the Portuguese Reproducibility Network. ____________________ TRACEY L.

Malika -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronunciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> From: Infodienst der LMU <infodienst.lmu(a)verwaltung.uni-muenchen.de> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2026 11:32 To: Malika.Ihle(a)lmu.de Subject: [Infodienst] UB.publish! - Die Publikationswoche der Universitätsbibliothek [Logo Ludwig Maximilians Universität München] Universitätsbibliothek Sehr geehrte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler der LMU, gerade zu Beginn der wissenschaftlichen Laufbahn sind mit dem Publizieren von Forschungsergebnissen viele grundlegende Fragen und Entscheidungen verbunden. Aus diesem Grund widmet die Universitätsbibliothek der LMU dem wissenschaftlichen Publizieren vom 26. bis 29. Januar 2026 besondere Aufmerksamkeit. In der Veranstaltungsreihe UB.publish!<https://www.ub.uni-muenchen.de/kurse/wissenschaftler/ub_publish/index.html> greifen wir zentrale Fragen des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens auf – von der Veröffentlichung der Dissertation über Open Access und die Sichtbarkeit wissenschaftlicher Publikationen bis hin zum Umgang mit Predatory Publishing. Schauen Sie vorbei – wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme! Termine: Montag, 26.01.2026, 14-16 Uhr: Join us for The Publishing Trap! Step into the shoes of one of three researchers from different disciplines and accompany them on their journey through the twists and turns of their scholarly careers to explore the impact of publishing choices on visibility, access to research, and professional success in an interactive and fun way. No prior experience needed — just bring your curiosity!

online lecture on clinical data sharing: Ulrich Mansmann, Dec 12 at 14:00
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 3, 2025

Dec. 3, 2025

Dear all The LMU Open Science Initiative in Medicine (OSIM) is pleased to announce an online lecture by Prof Ulrich Mansmann on Clinical Data Sharing, taking place next Friday, Dec 12 at 14:00 on Zoom: https://lmu-munich.zoom-x.de/j/65957504867?pwd=8yysED5YciGYq4gy5QGdy64NvAIf… (Meeting ID: 659 5750 4867; Code: 555795) - calendar invitation in attachment. Prof emeritus Ulrich Mansmann was the director of the Institute for Medical Information Processing, Biometry, and Epidemiology (IBE) at the LMU from 2005 to 2025; we are grateful for his continued contributions to open science! Title: Training the Next Generation of Researchers in Clinical Data Sharing Abstract: Clinical data sharing offers many opportunities for innovative research, knowledge consolidation, and scientific exploration. While epidemiologists often view shared data as a crucial foundation for their work, clinical researchers sometimes regard the fact that the data was not collected by themselves or their affiliated group as a limitation. First, working with shared data presents a dual challenge for both data providers and data users. Second, it raises an epistemological pseudo-problem: can a hypothesis truly be investigated without collecting the 'right' data oneself? This presentation will address this dilemma and explore what forms of knowledge researchers can mobilize as users of shared data to contribute meaningfully to medical science. Best wishes, Malika Ihle, on behalf of the OSIM -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronunciation<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 Computing skill self-paced tutorials: https://github.com/lmu-osc Workshops material: https://osf.io/zjrhu/ 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

Nov. 4, 2025

Dear open science enthusiasts, The LMU Open Science Center has new spaces available for its Switch to Open Program (SwOP). 📢 We invite groups to express interest by sending an email to Dr Malika Ihle<mailto:malika.ihle@psy.lmu.de?subject=interested%20in%20the%20Switch%20to%20Open%20Program>, OSC coordinator and SwOP lead consultant. This program supports research groups wanting to switch, as a team, to open research practices (e.g. FAIR data management, computationally reproducible workflow, publishing citable and reusable code, data, and articles). For a period of 3 or 6 months, your group will be provided with tailored training and consultations following a flipped classroom format, ending in the development of an open research practice guide to be used for reference for new projects and as an onboarding document for new team members (see example here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16262261) Eligibility: LMU research groups * focusing on quantitative research * familiar or keen to learn the R programming language * having done or keen to do, in addition to our program, a R stats course relevant to their kind of study (not provided by the LMU Open Science Center). Conditions: After an initial interview, members of selected research groups will need to sign a Memorandum of Understanding specifying their time commitment and responsibilities. Incentives: Selected groups will have the opportunity to hire a research assistant for any tasks beneficial to the group, for 7h/week for 3 months, paid-for by the OSC. Timeline: To be considered for a consultation starting early 2026, please register your interest before Nov 20. Later expressions of interest will be considered for later consultations.
