meta-research lecture series LMU/Zoom
by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 3, 2023

Nov. 3, 2023

Dear meta-research enthusiasts META-REP (a DFG-funded priority programme taking a meta-scientific perspective on replicability in disciplines dealing with human behaviour, with a focus on replicability assessment, reasons for (non-)replicability and on ways to improve reproducibility of empirical results) is starting a hybrid lecture series (LMU / Zoom): https://meta-rep.de/events/lectureseries/ The next one is: When: Nov 8 at 17:00 CET Who: Berna Devezer Title: Theoretical Insights on Replication: A Miracle or a Crutch? Abstract: Replication experiments purport to independently validate claims from previous research or provide some diagnostic evidence about their reliability. In practice, this value of replication experiments is often taken for granted. Our research shows that in replications, practice often does not live up to theory. Most replication experiments have a design different from the original rendering their results uninterpretable. These results can be driven by the true data generating mechanism, issues present in the original experiment, discrepancies between the original and the replication experiment new issues introduced in the replication experiment, or combinations of any of these factors. The answers we are looking for with regard to the true state of nature require a rigorous and meticulous investigative process of eliminating errors and singling out elementary or pure cases. In this talk, I will provide an overview of our theoretical approaches and results to date, building up toward a discussion of why most experiments are not replication-ready and what it would take for replication results to be clearly interpretable. I will chart an alternative path, where replication experiments play a critical yet a much more limited role in the scientific process than many scientists appear to envision today. Please find the zoom link and announcement of future lectures directly on their webpage: https://meta-rep.de/events/lectureseries/ Best wishes Malika -- 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

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

4 workshops on Sustainable Research Software from HeFDI
by LMU Open Science Center News Oct. 16, 2023

Oct. 16, 2023

Hessian Research Data Infrastructures Code School: Sustainable Research Software Scientific software is in many disciplines crucial for understanding and reusing research data and a cornerstone for reproducibility of research results. The HeFDI Code School adresses the need of especially early career researchers on learning how to create good scientific software and increase the quality of their code for better reusability and sustainability. Together with colleagues from Suresoft project and NFDI4Ing , HeFDI offers a series of four online workshops. 27 October 2023, 9h-13h Scientific Software Development is not a Jenga game! 10 November 2023, 9h-13h Clean Code and Refactoring 24 November 2023, 9h-13h Introduction to Software Testing 8 December 2023, 9h-13h Continuous Integration and Test Driven Development Participants of these workshops will learn * methods and techniques to increase the quality of their code, * how to produce understandable and therefore reusable code, * and to increase the sustainability of scientific software. These workshops are intended for researchers who already have experience with developing scientific software, and therefore require general knowledge of a programming language and a merely basic understanding of object-oriented programming and versioning.
