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

Dec. 12, 2023

[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.

Through generous funding from the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML<https://mcml.ai/>), the LMU Open Science Center (OSC<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/index.html>) and MCML have established an institutional membership between LMU Munich and The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/>. The Carpentries is a non-profit, community-led organisation, which specialises in teaching basic Software<https://software-carpentry.org/>, Data<https://datacarpentry.org/>, or Library<https://librarycarpentry.org/> skills to researchers of all career stages and across disciplines, in an inclusive environment. By training trainers to teach reproducible tools that increase integrity, credibility, and reuse, this partnership will foster the expansion of the open science community in Munich. As part of the institutional membership, we are able to offer training, free of charge, for 15 members (students or staff) of the LMU and TUM Universities to qualify as instructors for The Carpentries<https://carpentries.org/teach/>. Five of these seats are reserved in priority for MCML members. The training involves attendance of a 16-hour online event<https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/>, followed by a simple check-out process. Applicants are expected to already know or be willing to learn on their own at least one of the practical skills they would teach in their future workshops (e.g. R and/or Python and/or Unix Shell and/or Git, and/or Open Refine and/or SQL, etc.), as the instructor training will focus on the didactics around teaching said skill(s). Certified instructors will then be able to help deliver Software<https://software-carpentry.org/>, Data<https://datacarpentry.org/>, or Library<https://librarycarpentry.org/> Carpentry workshops using the existing open source training material from the Carpentries, for example by co-teaching a workshop for their research group, department, or in a Faculty where computing skills training isn't currently part of official curricula. We expect newly trained instructors to be involved in the delivery of at least one workshop in LMU or TU Munich within 12 months of completing the training. If interested, please read the information below and fill out this application form<https://tellmi.psy.lmu.de/formr/carpentries-application>. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with the OSC coordinator, Dr. Malika Ihle (malika.ihle(a)lmu.de<mailto:malika.ihle@lmu.de>), or the MCML open science transfer coordinator, Dr. Moritz Herrmann (moritz.herrmann(a)stat.uni-muenchen.de<mailto:moritz.herrmann@stat.uni-muenchen.de>). Timeline Application deadline: 13 November 2023, 08:00 CET Instructor training: Those offered a place are encouraged to attend the online training as soon as possible, from November 2023. Participation for the whole duration of the training is required. This 16-hour event can take place over 2 or 4 days. Minimally two sessions are provided each month, and new dates are shared every quarter. Please see the training calendar<https://carpentries.github.io/instructor-training/training_calendar.html> for upcoming sessions. Workshop delivery: We expect newly trained instructors to be involved in the delivery of at least one Carpentries workshop at the LMU or TU Munich within one year of completing the training. Eligibility criteria This call is aimed at postgraduate research students, research staff or fellows, and research support staff from any department, who expect to be based in Munich at least through the end of June 2025. Selection criteria Places will be allocated in line with the goal of building a sustainable community of instructors based in Munich. Criteria include: * career stage, motivation, and experience (i.e., balance between early-career researchers interested in building a community of peers, and permanent university staff already involved in training); * representation across Faculties/Schools (i.e., balance between disciplines with high demand for training in computing skills, and disciplines with limited training opportunities in this area); * previous involvement with the LMU Open Science Center and/or with The Carpentries (both favoured, but not necessary); * a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, to ensure that all future workshop participants are able to access training in a welcoming environment. We warmly encourage recent practitioners of software, data or library skills (e.g. students or early career researchers), and members who identify with groups that have been historically excluded from computer science and related fields (e.g., women, people of colour and/or from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community) to apply.

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
