The Open Science Center now has a coordinator!
|
|
|
|
We are very happy to introduce you to our first Open Science Center Coordinator Malika Ihle, who joined
our team on the 1st May 2022.
Malika has been dedicated to improve the openness, reliability, and reproducibility of her own research, as well as academic research in general, during her PhD and post-docs in the field of biology. She has then coordinated Reproducible Research Oxford, a
grassroots initiative promoting open research at the University of Oxford, for 2.5 years, before chosing to join us to continue fulfilling her vocation. We are very excited to welcome her to the OSC.

|
|
We are looking forward to further promote open and reproducible research with Malika’s help here at the
LMU. Welcome Malika!

Please
register for this symposium and panel discussion jointly organised by the LMU OSC and the Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV) :
20.06.2022, 16:00-18:00: "How paper mills publish fake science industrial-style - is there really a problem
and how does it work?"
Our trust in academic publishing is the foundation of science. However, there is now an unprecedented
industry-style, AI-supported production by paper mills of fake scientific manuscripts which has scaled-up to support a billion-euro industry. Its scope is a concerning, systematic criminal attack on the permanent scientific record.

3. Publications from our members
|
|
|

In this section we feature selected papers from our members relating to open research.

Our member Julian Unkel was a co-author for: „An agenda for open science
in communication“. In order to face the challenges which have caused low reproducibility in ommunication research, seven suggestions to adopt open science practices are proposed… (https://doi.org/10.1093/joc/jqz052)
·
Our members Katrin Auspurg and Josef Brüderl also published a new paper: „Has
the Credibility of the Sciences Been Credibly Destroyed? Reanalyzing the "Many Analysts, One Data Set" Project“. The paper gives insight into why the results on this project diverged so much and how in the future this can be avoided. This leads
to a broad conclusion on how social science research can become more credible… (https://doi.org/10.1177/23780231211024421)
