Exhibition "Open UP! How digitisation changes science" at Deutsches Museum in Munich
by LMU Open Science Center News May 29, 2019

May 29, 2019

*This is an announcement from Guido Scherp, coordinator of the Leibniz-Forschungsverbund Open Science:* ## Exhibition "Open UP! How digitisation changes science" at *Deutsches Museum* in Munich The digital shift is changing the science system. For centuries, science has relied on libraries as repositories of knowledge – but they are changing rapidly and radically, too. How do academic libraries use the digital revolution to reinvent themselves? The ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics, founded in 1919 and 100 years old today, presents its way forward: a triad of research, engagement and development for Open Science. **“Open UP! How digitisation changes science”: A very low-threshold and cool exhibition about Open Science.** Take a look at this: https://100years.zbw.eu/openup/ The exhibition can be seen from the 24th June at Deutsches Museum in Munich. --- ![](cid:CDA444EE-B9F0-40F4-9A2A-017CF9ABF0A1@nicebread.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.

by LMU Open Science Center News May 15, 2019

May 15, 2019

# Research Transparency and Reproducibility Training (RT2) - Call for Applications BITSS will hold its next Research Transparency and Reproducibility Training (RT2) in Washington DC, September 11-13, 2019. This RT2 is organized in partnership with the World Bank’s Development Impact Evaluation (DIME) group. Supported by the National Institutes for Health (NIH), RT2 is a 3-day training targeted at graduate students in the social sciences who are interested to learn about cutting-edge tools and best practices for transparent, reproducible and efficient research. The curriculum is developed and delivered by academic leaders in the open science movement and there is space for collaborative work and hands-on skill building. Learn more about previous RT2 events [here](https://www.bitss.org/event-types/rt2-institute/). ## The RT2 curriculum focuses on the following topics: - Ethics and Mertonian norms for research transparency and reproducibility - Scientific misconduct and researcher degrees of freedom - Improved specification through study pre-registration and pre-analysis plans - Computational reproducibility and approaches to replication - Techniques for reproducible meta-analysis - Hands-on practice with version control using Git (GitHub or the Command Line) - Dynamic documents with R and Stata - Data management and de-identification for data sharing - Appropriate use of statistics and interpretation of statistical evidence ## Eligibility RT2 is designed for researchers in the social and health sciences, with particular emphasis on economics, political science, psychology, and public health. Participants are typically (i) current Masters and PhD students, (ii) postdocs, (iii) junior faculty, (iv) research staff, (v) librarians and data stewards, and (vi) journal editors, funders, and research managers curious about the implications of transparency and reproducibility for their work. RT2 curriculum is most applicable to research that uses quantitative or mixed methods. Applicants should have proficiency in R or Stata. ## Fees and Financial Support Tuition for RT2 is $1,500 for three days, including breakfast, lunch, and a networking reception on September 13. This tuition fee does not cover costs for travel and accommodation. Financial Support: For up to 30 participants, BITSS offers partial or full financial support by waiving the tuition fee and covering travel, lodging and child care. Financial support will be awarded based on a combination of merit and need, taking into account our commitment to facilitate access to RT2 for diverse and underserved populations. ## Application Process Submit an application on our [online portal](https://cega.submittable.com/submit/139224/bitss-research-transpare… here (or at http://bit.ly/bitssrt2dc) The application includes questions regarding (i) your motivation for participating in RT2 and (ii) how you expect your participation to contribute to scaling-up education and training on research transparency and reproducibility. Applications should also include a Curriculum Vitae or Resume. Letters of Reference are also accepted, though they are not required.

Two open science calls, forwarded by our member Xenia Schmalz: ------------ ## Symposium: Open Practices in Education (OPINE) The call for papers for a 2-day symposium on open practices in education is now open. Please find more information about this event and about abstract submission here: https://www.leibniz-openscience.de/opine/ ------------ ## "Freies Wissen" program Dear colleagues, I'd like to bring to your attention the call for applications for the "Freies Wissen" program. The program is directed at doctoral students, post-docs, and junior professors who would like to make their research processes open. They will be supported by receiving 5,000 Euros and through an intensive mentoring- and workshop program, which aims to support them in their scientific research. I participated in the third year of this program (2018/2019), and I especially liked hearing about the perspectives of colleagues from different research fields. I wholeheartedly recommend this program. You can find more information about this program here: https://www.stifterverband.org/freies-wissen.

Online Umfrage „Open Science und die Bewertung von Forschungsleistungen“
by LMU Open Science Center News March 21, 2019

March 21, 2019

Liebe alle, s.u. - die Frage nach der Bewertung von Forschungsleistungen ist aus meiner Sicht einer der wichtigsten Bausteine, wenn wir die Transformation hin zu einer transparenten Wissenschaft schaffen wollen. Viele Grüße, Felix Schönbrodt --- Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, im Namen der AG Wissenschaftspraxis, einer der insgesamt acht im Rahmen der Schwerpunkt-Initiative „Digitale Information“ der Allianz der Wissenschaftsorganisationen aktiven Arbeitsgruppen (s. unter https://www.allianzinitiative.de/) laden wir Sie heute zur Teilnahme an der Online Umfrage „Open Science und die Bewertung von Forschungsleistungen“ ein. Die AG Wissenschaftspraxis beobachtet, dass auf europäischer Ebene intensiv darüber diskutiert wird, in welcher Weise auf eine „Open Science“ zielende Aktivitäten in die Bewertung von Forschungsleistungen einbezogen werden könnten. Nach unserer Wahrnehmung tragen allerdings bislang nur wenige Stimmen aus der deutschen Wissenschaft zu dieser Diskussion bei. Deshalb möchten wir uns mit einer kurzen Online-Umfrage gerne ein genaueres Bild darüber verschaffen, wie deutsche Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler – und in erster Linie diejenigen, denen eine besondere Verantwortung für die Karrierepfade von Forschenden zukommt – diese Diskussion in ihren unterschiedlichen Facetten bewerten. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage sollen in ein Papier münden, das in den Allianz-Organisationen diskutiert werden und ggf. zu einer Positionsbestimmung im hier angesprochenen Themenfeld beitragen kann. Wir wären Ihnen sehr dankbar, wenn Sie sich an der Umfrage beteiligen. Füllen Sie dazu bitte den Online-Fragebogen aus, den Sie aufrufen können unter https://ww3.efs-survey.com/uc/Fraunhofer_IZB/914c/. Die Umfrage bleibt bis zum 19. April 2019 online. Wir gehen davon aus, dass Sie etwa 20 Minuten benötigen, um die Fragen zu beantworten. Mit herzlichem Dank für Ihre Unterstützung und freundlichen Grüßen, Janna Neumann für die Allianz-AG Wissenschaftspraxis --- PD 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 | http://www.psy.lmu.de/pm_en/team/staff/schoenbrodt http://www.nicebread.de http://www.researchtransparency.org Twitter: @nicebread303
