Berlin | Oxford Summer School on Open Research 2019
by LMU Open Science Center News June 11, 2019

June 11, 2019

*[Please see this announcement from our friends at the QUEST Center Berlin and University of Oxford's Robust Research Initiative:]* Dear all, we are very happy to announce the [Berlin|Oxford Summer School on Open Research 2019](https://www.bihealth.org/en/notices/oxford-berlin-summer-school-on-op… which will take place September 16 - 20th 2019 at Green Templeton College at the University of Oxford, UK. The summer school is organized by the QUEST Center and University of Oxford's Robust Research Initiative, will be conducted in collaboration with Freie Universität Berlin and Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and is supported by the Berlin University Alliance Oxford-Berlin partnership fund. The number of places is limited and PhD and postdoctoral researchers are eligible to apply until July 1st 2019. For details of the program and the application process, please see the summer school's website and below. Please feel free to distribute this information wherever you deem fit. With kind regards, Verena Heise, Dirk Ostwald, and Ulf Toelch ----- ##Background Transparency and reproducibility of research methods and results are important hallmarks of high-quality research in areas from biomedical to social and physical sciences. In the last few years, many novel, often web-based tools and technologies have emerged that allow for a comprehensive representation of the scientific process that goes far beyond descriptions of research methods and results as found in traditional journal articles. These novel tools and technologies have the potential to revolutionise the way research methods and results are communicated and facilitate research collaborations and sharing of research data in an unprecedented manner. However, using these novel tools and technologies in a qualified and responsible manner requires knowledge and skills are not normally taught in undergraduate or graduate degrees. To close this gap, we offer a five-day summer school to guide early career researchers (PhD students and postdocs) towards an open, transparent, and reproducible research workflow. These topics will be embedded in a more general curriculum on research ethics and stakeholder involvement. ##Program The five-day summer school will consist of a series of lectures that cover the following topics: * Preregistration and registered reports, biases in research * Reproducible workflows * Statistics and reproducibility * Publishing, Open Data and Open Materials * Meta-research * Ethics of reproducible research * Citizen science The lectures will be complemented by interactive workshops that participants can choose based on their research interests. Workshops topics are very diverse and range from workshops aimed at specific research areas (e.g. neuroimaging or preclinical biomedical research) to more general workshops (e.g. introduction to R, Jupyter notebooks and python visualisation). Beyond the lectures and workshops, participants will work, under supervision of the lecturers, on plans for their own projects to increase reproducibility and openness in their current or upcoming research project. ##Application Interested participants should send a letter of motivation (300 words), a project outline (300 words) and a short CV (2-3 pages). The letter of motivation should contain a brief statement how the applicant has applied or intends to apply open research practices in their current work, if any other courses were attended, and what particular challenges were encountered in their work that this summer school addresses. The project outline should give a brief overview of future or recently started research projects, in which participants would like to apply open/ reproducible research practices. Applicants with projects in any area of empirical research are encouraged to apply. If applicants are accepted, we require a signed form from the applicant’s supervisor to show that they will support the use of transparent and reproducible practices in the applicant’s research project. Applications should be in a single pdf and adhere to the file format:FIRSTNAME_LASTNAME_APPLICATIONSUMMERSCHOOL.pdf Please send your application to: summerschool_berlinoxford(a)bihealth.de The application deadline is 1st of July 2019 at midday (GMT). Candidates will be notified of the outcome by mid July 2019. ##Costs The course is free to attend but participants will need to cover the cost of accommodation and travel. We have secured bed and breakfast accommodation with en-suite facilities at St Anne’s College for £92 per night for participants who require accommodation. We are able to support travel costs for a limited number of applicants with up to 500 Euro if applicants cannot cover the costs from their own funding. For participants from Charité - Universitätsmedizin, the QUEST Center for Transforming Biomedical Research will support travel and accommodation with up to 750 Euro for a limited number of participants. Please state in your letter of motivation if you would like to apply for funding. ##Venue The course will take place at Green Templeton College at the University of Oxford, UK. -- Prof. Dr. Dirk Ostwald Arbeitsbereich Computational Cognitive Neuroscience Center for Cognitive Neuroscience Berlin Fachbereich Erziehungswissenschaft und Psychologie Freie Universität Berlin Habelschwerdter Allee 45 14195 Berlin Raum JK25/230 Telefon +49 30 838 56860 --- ![](cid:4317ECB4-5036-4B27-BC3C-E082D7525EF6@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.

Talk by Lars Vilhuber (AEA Data editor) - Replication and Reproducibility in Social Sciences and Statistics
by LMU Open Science Center News June 7, 2019

June 7, 2019

Dear all, we are glad to welcome Lars Vilhuber, Executive Director of the Labor Dynamics Institute at Cornell University & AEA Data Editor (https://www.vilhuber.com/lars) to LMU Munich. He will talk about **"Replication and Reproducibility in Social Sciences and Statistics: Context, Concerns, and Concrete Measures"** (see abstract below). The talk will take place on **Thursday, 13.06.2019, 10:30 am - 12 noon at LMU Munich (Ludwigstr. 28 Vordergebäude, Room 221)** and is organized by the CRC-INF project and the EBDC in collaboration with the LMU Open Science Center (https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de) and the LMU Center for Advanced Studies (https://www.en.cas.uni-muenchen.de) *As places are limited, please register via email: ebdc@ifo.de.* Kind regards, Florian Englmaier, Joachim Winter and Sebastian Wichert Abstract: Data and the statistical program codes to analyze them are an elementary part of any empirical analysis in all fields of science. Nevertheless, especially in the social sciences this “data work” is most often not directly subject to the scientific quality control, namely the review process of scholarly articles before publication. (How) Has this contributed to the so-called "replication crisis", i.e. the fact that a lot of scientific findings cannot be reproduced? But what is replication and reproducibility? Is it really a crisis and if yes, how bad is it? How can the situation be improved and who can do it? These and many other questions will be addressed by Lars in his presentation and the following joint discussion. --- ![](cid:84C8305C-17E6-41A9-B927-C1FC938AAF3F@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.

Statistical Reasoning and Scientific Error Conference: July 1-4, LMU Munich
by LMU Open Science Center News June 7, 2019

June 7, 2019

# Statistical Reasoning and Scientific Error Statistical reasoning pervades experimental research, but how to apply it is a longstanding issue of debate in philosophy and science. Recent studies that reveal a high prevalence of error and lack of reproducibility in published research highlight the urgency of developing sound foundations of statistical reasoning, and finding techniques for detecting and correcting scientific error. So much the more as scientific error undermines the epistemic authority of science, and the degree to which policy-makers trust scientific experts. The conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers interested in issues of statistical reasoning and scientific error. It focuses on the foundations of statistical inference, how statistical reasoning is applied in the sciences, how statistical inference can correct scientific error and which proposals for reforming scientific method (including restructuring the peer review and publication system) can increase the reliability of published research. **The conference takes place from July 1 to 4 at LMU Munich. Attendance is open to anyone, provided you register in advance. Registration closes on June 15.** Preliminary program: https://scientificerror2019.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/must-program-2.0.pdf The workshop is hosted by the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. --- ![](cid:620D83DE-3FE0-4DBA-8410-B4E1913ADDDC@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.
