Stop tracking science
by LMU Open Science Center News April 22, 2021

April 22, 2021

Dear list, the major academic publishers have made collection and trading of data about the research interests of individuals, groups and research institutions their new business model. Data about your scientific activities are collected in real time across the research workflow. The publishers take notes and sell the knowledge about you to third parties. This business model is in direct opposition to academic freedom. We have to stand up against these corporations! Please consider to sign our petition Stop Tracking Science<https://stoptrackingscience.eu>. The website has a lot of background information on the tracking activities. See also this recent blog post that summarizes these activities: https://elephantinthelab.org/when-your-journal-reads-you/ Best, Felix PS: As a reminder: Today 15:00 is our RDM workshop - you can still register! See below. ——— Workshop "Research Data Management & Open Science: Trends, Funding Requirements and Services at LMU" Dear colleagues, the LMU Open Science Center, the Unit for Research Funding and the University Library cordially invite you to participate in our online workshop "Research Data Management & Open Science: Trends, Funding Requirements and Services at LMU". Research data management is becoming increasingly relevant across different scientific disciplines and fields. While more and more researchers actively choose to make their research data open, dedicated strategies for data management are required by funding agencies such as the European Commission, the DFG and BMBF. In the EU's new framework program Horizon Europe, Open Science is mandatory for all projects. In this interactive workshop, the LMU Open Science Center, the Unit for Research Funding and the University Library join forces to present you with an overview on recent trends, funding requirements and services available at LMU. The workshop will be kicked off with a primer on the current discussions surrounding open data by Felix Schönbrodt, followed by a presentation by the Research Funding Unit on the policies of funders such as the German Research Foundation (DFG), BMBF and the European Commission, with a special focus on presenting data management and open data in the application. It will close with a hands-on presentation of online resources and tools that support researchers from creating data management plans to implementing effective data management workflows for their projects, including possible storage and open access strategies by the LMU University Library. Speakers: - Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt, LMU Open Science Center (OSC) - Dr. Florian Schreck, Dr. Veit Schwab, LMU Unit for Research Funding - Laura Meier, Dr. Martin Spenger, LMU University Library Date: Thursday, April 22 2021, 15:00 (st) - 16:30 Remote workshop via Zoom; language: English Registration: https://lmu-munich.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUldO6opzMqG9Y1_nAeOsDfaoRhux5… --- 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… ____________________________________________________ [cid:FAE32C9F-0550-4F6D-B2CB-5D9F41AE080A] http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Unsubscribe<https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc> from the newsletter. ‌‌ ‌

Feb. 1, 2021

https://twitter.com/GermanR The LMU Open Scinec e The LMU Open Science Center is a founding member of the newly launched German Reproducibility Network<https://reproducibilitynetwork.de>! Here's the full press release. Please like and retweet our announcement<https://twitter.com/GermanRepro/status/1356185051466260481?s=20>, and share the news widely in your networks! Foster trustworthiness and transparency in scientific research The network is open for further members and offers various ways to participate Eight key Open Science actors in Germany founded the German Reproducibility Network. This cross-disciplinary consortium is dedicated to promote reproducible and robust research on a national level. Today, it seems more important than ever that research results are trustworthy and based on robust research. This includes transparency and openness to enable the reproducibility of research results as a key quality indicator in research, which is also in line with established principles of good scientific practice. With this background, the German Reproducibility Network (GRN) was founded in January 2021. This peer-led cross-disciplinary consortium in Germany aims to increase trustworthiness and transparency of scientific research. Therefore, the network focuses on the following activities: * Support researchers in educating themselves about open science practices, and founding local open science communities. * Connecting local or topic-centered Reproducibility Initiatives to a national network, and foster connections between them. * Advise institutions on how to embed open science practices in their work. * Represent the open science community toward other stakeholders in the wider scientific landscape. The GRN is embedded in a growing network of similar initiatives in the UK, Switzerland, Australia, and Slovakia. It is open for further members and offers various ways to participate. The founding members are the following eight Open Science actors in Germany: * Berlin University Alliance * BIH QUEST Center * German Psychological Society (DGPs) * Helmholtz AI * Helmholtz Open Science Office * LMU Open Science Center * NOSI (Network of Open Science Initiatives) * ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics The managing director of the LMU Open Science Center, Professor Felix Schönbrodt, says: “Especially in times when medical and societal challenges require scientifically sound answers, we need an open, cooperative, and credible science. To achieve this goal, the German Reproducibility Network brings together key players in Germany.” ________________________________ Find more information on our website: https://reproducibilitynetwork.de/ How to join the network: https://reproducibilitynetwork.de/join Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GermanRepro --- [PastedGraphic-1.tiff] http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Unsubscribe<https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc> from the newsletter.

Vote today for the LMU OSC! "Hochschulperle" ("University Pearl") of the Year 2020
by LMU Open Science Center News Jan. 20, 2021

Jan. 20, 2021

Election of the "Hochschulperle" ("University Pearl") of the Year 2020 by the Stifterverband -- Vote Now for the LMU OSC: Send an SMS with "H02" to 0177 178 22 77 (between Jan 20, 12:00 and Jan 21, 12:00) -- More details: https://www.stifterverband.org/hochschulperle In March 2020, the Open Science Center (OSC) was awarded the title "University Pearl"<https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/hochschulperle/index.html> by the Stifterverband. Each month another project has been honoured. Now, the Stifterverband awards the title of "University Pearl 2020" together with a prize of 3000€ to support the winning project. There will be an open election for only 24 hours between all twelve monthly winners of 2020. It takes place between January 20th 2021, 12am, and January 21st 2021, 12am. And the good news is: Everyone interested will be able to vote by SMS. All information about the voting can be found at the homepage of the "University Pearl"<https://www.stifterverband.org/hochschulperle>. There you can also find short presentations of all projects awarded the monthly title "University Pearl" within last year’s competitions. In 2020, the award had the overall theme of "Open Science". Interesting institutions and projects were awarded alongside the OSC. Please, show that open science matters and vote for your favorite project! About the LMU Open Science Center The LMU's Open Science Center strengthens the commitment to open, transparent and replicable research. Its interdisciplinarity and breadth of expertise make it the first university center of its kind. If you vote for the OSC you would support its goals and help to keep the members working on the wide range of the following projects which might have gained even more importance during the covid-19-crisis: The OSC was founded at the LMU in 2018 and has since then been working on three main areas: On the one hand, it wants to train young scientists as well as established researchers. Therefore, it organises workshops, conferences, talks and other events on Open Science and sensitize students to the topic. Secondly, it wants to explore the scientific process itself. In doing so, the scientific members are specifically investigating psychological, sociological and statistical-methodological aspects that can lead to distorted or incorrect research results. And finally, the OSC wants to make the incentive structures in the academic system a topic of discussion and to develop recommendations and proposals for relevant bodies. The OSC is particularly interdisciplinary in its approach; its members come from fifteen different disciplines - ranging from sociology to computer science and medicine. Since science is under particular competitive pressure today, it is all the more important to ensure its quality and credibility and to promote transparency - also institutionally. The Open Science Center (OSC) of the LMU Munich pursues this approach and starts right away with the students. "Especially in times when medical and social challenges require particularly scientifically sound answers, we need open, cooperative and credible science. The award of the Stifterverband is a wonderful confirmation of our approach to promote the reproducibility and traceability of scientific results," said Dr. Felix Schönbrodt, managing director of the OSC, after winning the monthly award. The jury of the Stifterverband (Donors' Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany) stated in its justification for the monthly award as a university pearl: "With its comprehensive approach to Open Science, which ranges from training to incentive structures, the Open Science Center at LMU Munich opens up a large target group of students and researchers. The project promotes Open Science at all levels and also addresses current debates on Open Science and Open Data". The Stifterverband awards the "University Pearl" prize to innovative projects at universities. The OSC and its members would be happy if you decide to give them your vote and help them to improve research and its impact on society! --- [cid:99F259A4-4E40-4697-92BB-3A0A63429C5B] http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Unsubscribe<https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc> from the newsletter.

Without science, there is no open science
by LMU Open Science Center News Nov. 12, 2020

Nov. 12, 2020

Dear all, the EU plans to cut the budget for research funding by 33%, from 120B € to 81B €. There is an open letter to the European Commission President. You can join multiple nobel laureates and > 1000 other researchers to protest against these cuts: http://www.rescue-horizon-europe.org/ From the initiative's website: > The drastic cuts to European research will have devastating effects on > our ability to address major challenges of our times – including > climate change, pandemics, quantum technology, artificial intelligence > or personal medicine. It will inevitably lead to exodus of scientific > excellence, technological dependencies, and diminished patient care. > It will limit Europe’s ability to innovate and to develop a more > prosperous and sustainable economy. > We want to remind you that behind political discussions and budget > decisions arranged behind closed doors, there are real people, > exceptionally talented scientists, who will leave Europe; real > scientific questions that will not be answered; real progress that > will not happen. All of that to the detriment of the people whom you > have sworn to serve.

Keynote by Andrew Gelman: Social Science and the Replication Crisis
by LMU Open Science Center News Sept. 30, 2020

Sept. 30, 2020

Dear all, on Thursday, 8 October 2020, 15:00, there is a keynote by Andrew Gelman at WZB which might be of interest to you: ### Social Science and the Replication Crisis Keynote by Andrew Gelman, Department of Statistics and Department of Political Science, Columbia University The replication crisis is typically discussed in the context of particular silly claims, or in terms of the sociology of science, or with regard to controversies in statistical practice. Here we discuss the content of unreplicated or otherwise shaky empirical claims in social science, which often seem to be associated with a model in which important attitudes and behavior can be easily manipulated using irrelevant stimuli. This set of theories, if true, would have important implications for politics and society, supporting certain views held on the left, right, and technocratic center of the political spectrum. Conversely, the lack of empirical support for the manipulable-human model has social and political implications which are worth considering: If people are not so easily swayed in this way, this suggests that we should try to more carefully understand their direct motivations. For details and Zoom link, see https://wzb.eu/en/events/social-science-and-the-replication-crisis --- ![](cid:7945994E-C6E8-4BEC-9A43-20922F4E4A07@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc [Unsubscribe](https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc) from the newsletter.
