Open Science Community Lutjetrousers 👖
OSCL is a learning community where anyone associated with open science can learn and talk about open science practices. Example events are Open Science coffees, workshops, and walk-in-hours.
WHAT?
Open science is an umbrella term for an approach to science that aims to make scientific research accessible, reproducible, and freely available to people within and outside of academics. An important goal is to practice science in a transparent way. Open science topics include, amongst other things: transparent methods, pre-registration, sharing data/code and research tools, reproducibility, replication research, citizen science, open peer-review, publishing open access, diversity and inclusion, research integrity, uploading preprints and (meta) research about scientific methods.
HOW?
Embarking on Open Science can seem rather daunting at first: there are so many new terms and all sorts of different organisations committed to Open Science. The Open Science Community Leiden wants to make the new developments accessible to everyone, in an efficient manner.
People often think you have to do everything completely open, right from the start. But why not start small and ask your colleague further down the corridor how he or she experienced something? To find that colleague, just take a look at the member profiles of INOSC. In your profile, you can indicate what you already know, what topics others can ask you about, and what you want to learn more about. On the basis of these topics, we will organise events such as workshops or talks, including drinks, so you can get to know each other and find out who to ask. With experiences harvested at these events, we actively inform top down policy makers, to ensure we co-create the open future together.
Anyone who is interested to learn more about Open Science is welcome to join us (you’ll get an OSCL member profile and an option to subscribe to the newsletter).
WHEN?
THE FUTURE IS OPEN…
