OSCV Community Statement
The Open Scholarship Community Victoria (OSCV) exists to promote open science practices, fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment for individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines. Our goal is to drive cultural and institutional change by bringing together and supporting people interested in Open Science, Open Scholarship, and open research practices.
Our community is inclusive and welcoming to individuals of all expertise levels and backgrounds. We treat each other with respect, fairness, and care, promoting equity within our community and outside of it.
We offer a space where open research practices are valued and shared, allowing members to enhance their knowledge and skills in open practices, connect with like-minded individuals, and educate others about the benefits of open research practices.
What is important to us as a community?
- Open research practices
- Working together across disciplines and levels of expertise
- Creating awareness on open science
- Driving change within our academic and research institutions
- Organizing events and activities that serve as focal points for interaction, outreach, and advocacy
OSCV is part of the International Network of Open Science and Scholarship Communities (INOSC). While every community is unique, we share a set of Guiding Principles and adhere to a Code of Conduct. Please find version 1.0 here.
