Open Social Science Conference (@opensocsci): Jan 2019
by LMU Open Science Center News July 30, 2018

July 30, 2018

[News from our website: https://www.osc.uni-muenchen.de/news/mzes/index.html] The LMU Open Science Center is official partner of the Open Social Science Conference (@opensocsci) in Mannheim. Want to contribute? Submission deadline for abstracts is Aug. 22, 2018. From the conference webseite (https://www.mzes.uni-mannheim.de/openscience/) > ## Practicing New Standards in Transparency and Reproducibility > > About a decade ago, John Ioannidis claimed that “most published > research findings are false”. While seeming outrageous at the time, > a growing body of meta-scientific research in the behavioral and > social sciences has since substantiated this claim, causing > uncertainty about the trustworthiness of published scientific > findings. We believe that threats to the validity of published > findings in the social sciences are widespread and systemic. > Therefore, this conference promotes introspection about the current > state of social science research and exchange on the opportunities for > institutional and methodological improvement in the future. It is > interdisciplinary in nature. Scholars working in any branch and within > any methodology of the social sciences are invited to attend. The > conference is supported by the Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in > the Social Sciences (BITSS) and will take place from 25-27 January > 2019 at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES) in > Mannheim, Germany. --- ![](cid:4D03E922-4445-4D73-80F7-F895142C996B@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/

Foundation of Center for Reproducible Science at UZH
by LMU Open Science Center News July 13, 2018

July 13, 2018

Big news: Zurich University UZH now has a Center for Reproducible Science! Congrats @crsuzh http://www.crs.uzh.ch/ Here's their mission statement: > The objective of the Center of Reproducible Science (CRS) is to > improve the overall reproducibility of empirical scientific research > at UZH and to promote original research in reproducibility studies and > methodology related to reproducibility. One of the main additional > values of the CRS is that researchers of UZH who are active in > methodological aspects of research get together to discuss these > challenges, keep each other updated on advances from different fields > which typically do not communicate with each other intensively and > hopefully to propose common solutions. Moreover, UZH researchers who > are invested in replication or reproducibility efforts can get > together with the methodologists of the CRS either through training > activities, direct collaboration, or simply publications. As a result > we will improve overall quality and reproducibility of empirical > scientific research at UZH. > They also look for a post-doc to "develop faculty specific training activities and participate in research activities related to reproducibility": http://www.crs.uzh.ch/dam/jcr:9fdaaa9a-6dea-440a-9309-4b389d3f952f/CRSPostd… --- ![](cid:83AC8380-5A54-4B0C-8AE4-80E30834B30F@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/

Open science: A mandatory building block for EU research funding
by LMU Open Science Center News June 27, 2018

June 27, 2018

The next research funding scheme of the EU is called "Horizon Europe", with a budget of 100.000.000.000 € (2021-2027). You want funding? Then consider: *"The principle of 'open science' will become the modus operandi of Horizon Europe, requiring open access to publications and data".* http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-4041_en.htm Starting this autumn, the LMU Open Science Center will provide workshops and crash courses which inform about the recent developments in open science, and equip researchers with the necessary tools and knowledge to implement open research in their daily workflow, grant proposals, and teaching. --- ![](cid:3C16875B-B9DC-4C6D-9B79-E5AA5E35F517@psy.lmu.de "PastedImage.png") http://www.osc.lmu.de/
