Workshop: Reproducible manuscripts with Quarto, 06.03. 14:00-16:00
by LMU Open Science Center News Feb. 20, 2024

Feb. 20, 2024

Workshop: "Reproducible manuscripts with Quarto" by Dr. Florian Pargent and Florian Kohrt When: 06. March 2024, 14:00-16:00 Hybrid: room 3322, Leopoldstr 13, Munich and Zoom Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/quarto/ Abstract: Quarto makes transparent and reproducible data analysis simple and fun. In a nutshell, Quarto lets you mix text written in markdown with chunks of executable code written in, e.g., R or Python. You can use it for interactive notebooks, and export to a large number of formats including HTML, PDF/LaTeX, Microsoft Word or PowerPoint, or even interactive websites. In this workshop, we cover the fundamentals, including the markdown syntax, code chunks and inline code, and the output formats available. We also go over citations, cross-referencing, and templating, which ultimately allow you to write academic papers entirely in Quarto. The self-paced tutorial for this workshop can be found here: https://florianpargent.github.io/Quarto_LMU_OSC/ Participants: The targeted audience are total novices or intermediate users of literate programming tools (e.g. Rmarkdown, Quarto), who program (at any level) in R, Python, or Julia, and preferentially use RStudio (although VS Code, Jupyter, Neovim or other text editor are also suitable). Ideally, participants already know of or use version control. Requirement: Participants must have their own laptop with admin access. Software will be installed as part of the workshop. -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator Website: https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> Mailing list: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lmu-osc.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/lmu-open-science-center Mastodon: https://scicomm.xyz/@lmu_osc Twitter: https://twitter.com/lmu_osc Please note that I will only work in the afternoons from 08.01. to 28.02.2024.

Workshop: theory formalization 23.02. PM
by LMU Open Science Center News Feb. 2, 2024

Feb. 2, 2024

Workshop: From stories to models - (how) can we formalize "narrative theories"? by Prof Daniel Leising from Technische Universität Dresden When: 23.02.2024, 13:00-17:00 Hybrid: room 3322, Leopoldstr 13, Munich and Zoom Registration: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/formalise-theory/ Abstract: There is growing consensus that psychology and other fields need to better specify their theories, and formalization offers a promising path to achieving that goal. I will briefly talk about the advantages of formal models over narrative ones, and present a few examples from my own lab in which such a formalization was attempted more or less successfully. However, the largest part of the workshop shall be reserved for participants working on formal versions of narrative theory paragraphs that they themselves pick and bring along. As this is likely to be a relatively new kind of challenge to most participants, and given that formalization can actually be fairly difficult, the overall objective is not to achieve perfect results, but rather to get people interested in this crucial type of work, and to help them overcome initial hesitations they may have to invest their valuable time and energy into it. Target audience: scientists of all career levels (students to PIs) from the fields of psychology, philosophy, sociology, etc. Agenda: 60 m Intro ; 15 m Break ; 75 m First Round Practice ; 15 m Break ; 75 m Second Round Practice Logistics: There are no prerequisites. The format of the session is hybrid (you can attend online or in person). The event will be held in English, unless there are only German native speakers in the room. Participation in the workshop is free and open to all. Priority will be given to, in order, members of Departments sponsoring the Open Science Center (Department of Psychology, Business Administration, Biology), other LMU members, and non-LMU members. Non-members will receive confirmation whether their attendance is possible at least 2 days before the workshop. -- Dr. Malika Ihle (she/her) (pronounciation<https://namedrop.io/malikaihle>) LMU Open Science Center Coordinator Website: https://www.osc.lmu.de<https://www.osc.lmu.de/> Mailing list: https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/listinfo/lmu-osc Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/lmu-osc.bsky.social (ask me for an invite link!)

new LMU guidelines on safeguarding good research practices
by LMU Open Science Center News Jan. 30, 2024

Jan. 30, 2024

For the attention of LMU-based community members: The LMU recently implemented the "Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice<https://www.dfg.de/resource/blob/174052/1a235cb138c77e353789263b8730b1df/ko…>" (Aug 2019) of the German Research Foundation (DFG) - the so-called "Kodex". This is a mandatory step for all institutions that want to be eligible for DFG funding. The derived regulations (see Ordnung der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München zur Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis vom 17. November 2023<https://cms-cdn.lmu.de/media/contenthub/amtliche-veroeffentlichungen/gwp-or…>, in German), are legally binding for all academics, researchers, research support staff, teachers, and students at LMU. The new guidelines are noticeably progressive about Open Science and Responsible Research Assessment. Only the original text in German prevails, but here is our English summary: Evaluation of researchers: * Academic performance assessment is done in a multidimensional way, and research performance should primarily be assessed according to qualitative standards. When quantitative indicators are included in an overall assessment, this must be done in a differentiated and reflected manner. In addition to research performance, other aspects can be considered. (§6) * An author is anyone who has made a genuine, comprehensible contribution to the content of a scientific text, data or software publication. (§14) Appropriate level of documentation and standards to allow reproduction: * Reproducible methods must be used. (§11) * When research software is developed, its source code must be documented. (§12) Appropriate level of documentation and standards to allow replication: * All information relevant to the production of a research result must be documented comprehensively to enable replication. (§7 and §12) * If specific professional recommendations exist for review and evaluation, the results must be documented in accordance with these respective specifications. (§12) * Individual results that do not support the hypothesis must also be documented; a selection of results is not permitted. (§12) Public access to research results: * Apart from specific exceptions, all findings should be made public. For this, they must be described in a detailed and comprehensible manner which includes making available the research data, materials and information on which the results are based, as well as the methods used and the software employed (including appropriately licensed self-written software) according to the FAIR principles*. (§13) * Data, material, software made publicly accessible must be appropriately archived, usually for a period of 10 years (§17). *Personal note: The FAIR principles aren't defined further, but here what it implies: - Findable: metadata should be deposited in a searchable repository and be assigned a permanent identifier - Accessible: the data is either open, or accessible upon some authentication process, or closed, but with open metadata. - Interoperable: the data is described with a standard terminology (so the dataset can be merged with other ones) and saved in a stable file format - Reusable: the data is richly documented and is accompanied by a data usage license See https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/ for more information. Please feel free to disseminate this information as needed in your department and working groups.

Podiumsdiskussion: "Wie robust kann/muss Wissenschaft sein?" 06.02. 18:30 BadW
by LMU Open Science Center News Jan. 22, 2024

Jan. 22, 2024

Podiumsdiskussion: "Wie robust kann/muss Wissenschaft sein?" Wann: 06.02.2024 um 18:30 Wo: Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Alfons-Goppel-Str. 11 (Residenz), 80539 München Anmeldung: https://meta-rep.de/badw/ Live-Stream: https://badw.de<https://badw.de/> Die Sozial-, Verhaltens-, Lebens- und Kognitionswissenschaften sind seit einiger Zeit mit dem Problem konfrontiert, dass wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse häufig wenig robust und wiederholbar sind. Die Auswirkungen von Unsicherheit und Wiederholbarkeit von Forschungsergebnissen auf Fragen der Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Öffentlichkeit werden Hauptgegenstand der Diskussion sein: Wie robust können wissenschaftliche Befunde unter den aktuellen Voraussetzungen sein? Wie verlässlich müssen oder sollen Ergebnisse sein, um sie öffentlich zu kommunizieren und gegebenenfalls zum Anlass für gesellschaftliche oder politische Maßnahmen zu machen? Diskutieren werden Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Wissenschaft, der Forschungsförderung (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) und der Medien (Süddeutsche Zeitung). Die Veranstaltung ist öffentlich und richtet sich an Interessierte mit und ohne wissenschaftlichen Hintergrund. Veranstalter sind das junge Kolleg der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderte Schwerpunktprogramm "META-REP". Veranstaltungsort ist die Bibliothek der Bayerischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in München (Anmeldung über: https://meta-rep.de/badw<https://meta-rep.de/badw/>). Falls Sie nicht vor Ort sein können, bieten wir einen Live-Stream an, Informationen hierzu finden Sie unter https://badw.de<https://badw.de/> (zum Live-Stream ist keine Anmeldung erforderlich).
