Two open science calls
by LMU Open Science Center News April 8, 2019

April 8, 2019

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. I would be grateful if you could forward this information to any doctoral or post-doctoral colleagues who are interested in open science. I would be happy answer questions or share my experiences with this program. Kind regards, Xenia (xenia.schmalz(a)gmail.com) --- ![](cid:584FDAE5-BEDA-4EC0-8C1D-59EBA2656AD6@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ Join our email newsletter: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc [Unsubscribe](https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc) from the newsletter.

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

Tomorrow: Talk by Lisa McShane: "Reproducibility of omics research: Shared responsibility and consequences of ignorance"
by LMU Open Science Center News Dec. 4, 2018

Dec. 4, 2018

*Reminder for tomorrow's talk by* #Lisa McShane: "Reproducibility of omics research: Shared responsibility and consequences of ignorance" A talk by the Acting Associate Director, Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis, National Cancer Institute The IBE, LMU Open Science Center, STRATOS, and the European Bioconductor Meeting cordially invite to a guest talk: **When: December 5, 2018 - 5:00 pm s.t.** **Where: Schellingstr. 3, Room S005** *Abstract:* Irreproducible biomedical research is particularly concerning because flawed findings have the potential to make their way to clinical studies involving human participants. Many factors have been suggested as contributors to irreproducible biomedical research, including poor study design, analytic instability of measurement methods, sloppy data handling, inappropriate and misleading statistical analysis methods, improper reporting or interpretation of results, and on rare occasions, outright scientific misconduct. Potential for these problems to occur is amplified when the research involves use of novel measurement technologies such as “omics assays” which generate large volumes of data requiring specialized expertise and computational approaches for proper management, analysis and interpretation [http://www.nationalacademies.org/hmd/Reports/2012/Evolution-of-Translationa…] Successful translation of omics research findings to safe and effective clinical tests requires a research team with expertise including laboratory and clinical science, bioinformatics, computational science, and statistics. Team members share responsibility for ensuring that research is performed with integrity and best practices are followed to ensure reproducible results. Although making data and computer code publicly available are valuable and important first steps toward promoting reproducible research, they are not sufficient. Through a series of case studies, the many dimensions of reproducible omics research are explored, and shared responsibilities are discussed. Maintaining a culture of reproducible research requires effort, resources, and vigilance to counter many potential threats. --- ![](cid:6AAB3D2E-ABDD-4FEA-A419-8F4A7B3FFAED@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/ --- 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
