Goals of Open Science training

Open Science is …

From: Bosman & Kramer (2017) Defining open science definitions

o No barriers based on race, gender, income, status, language

o Involvement of societal partners in research priority setting

o Evaluations that include societal relevance

o Citizen science

o Translationso Plain language explanationso Outreach beyond academiao Open to questions from outside

academiao Curation and annotation of non-

scholarly informationo Participation in public debate

o Open Access, for people and machines, to:

• Proposals and applications• Data• Code • Preprints, working papers • Papers and books • Reviews and comments• Posters and presentations

o Open, non-proprietary standardso Open licenceso Full documentation of process

Open to participation Open to (re)use Open to the world

and: Open educational resources / Open source software / Open hardware / (no) patents

It’s up to you ...

• in groups of 3 ...

• each pick an aspect of OS that interests you

• write it down on the coloured sheet

• think of a learning goal for training on your chosen aspect

• ... and for the aspects chosen by your group members

• write them down on the coloured sheet, your own the last

• compare & discuss the results in your group

Your role as trainer (self-reflection)

It’s up to you ...• In groups of 2 ...

• Look at the scenarios on your handout• In each column, choose the one you’d be most and least

comfortable with. Do this individually.

• Compare & discuss the results with your neighbour• What makes certain scenarios easier or harder

for each of you?

PARTICIPANTS

Background flower with labels for personality modification by Ykon and also used in a scholarly commons workshop. Central circle added by us.

It’s up to you ...

• In groups of 3-4, think back to yesterday’s sessions• Can you describe one of the sessions using the terms

on the handout?

• What made it so?

• Do you all have the same impression of the session?

• If not, why would that be?

Experience various training formats

It’s up to you ...

4 groups of 8 people, people getting the Jack & Queen cards are facilitators in each groupEach group does a different preset training activity

What the groups don’t know is that they will get a surprise intervention...

(that was intended to still feel safe)

Comparing experiences (final discussion)

• Your group gets a set of 10 cards with open science practices

• Show the cards one by one to your group and ask how many people in the group have done that particular activity.

• Let these participants share their experiences with the rest of the group (what did they do, why did they decide to do it, did it work well for them?)

• Stimulate the rest of the group to ask questions

INTERVENTION

Right from the start, 4 of the 6 participants were removed from this group (to simulate less people showing up than expected)

The 4 people removed were assigned a role of observer/rapporteur,1 for each of the 4 groups

• Your group gets a set of cards with open science practices.

• The cards are color-coded for different research phases (see separate handout for overview of phases)

• With the group, decide on the 1-2 ‘best’ practices per phase

• For example, select the practices that are most realistic and/or would have a big effect

• The selected practices together make an open science workflow !

INTERVENTION

Two participants in this group were asked (in secret) to act as disruptive/difficult participants:

e.g. try to monopolize the discussion, question everything, etc.

data collection, experimenting & analyzing

including reference management & citing

also including sharingpapers and data sets

incl. communication with the general public

including being assessed/evaluated

• The participants in your group will take a short online survey on which research tools/platforms they use in different research phases(see separate handout for overview of phases)

• The survey can be accessed at:https://tinyurl.com/Foster-bootcamp-survey

• When everyone is finished, view the results athttps://tinyurl.com/Foster-bootcamp-survey-result

• Discuss which tools/platforms are used the most, and to what extent people use open science tools/platforms

NB The survey links were only generated for this workshop – it is not an ongoing survey

Opening up the research workflow

preparation

writingpublication

outreach

assessment discovery

Preparation:• Define & crowdsource

research priorities• Organize project, team, collaborations• Get funding / contract

Discovery:• Search literature / data / code / …• Get access• Get alerts / recommendations• Read / view • Annotate

Analysis:• Collect, mine, extract data / experiment• Share protocols / notebooks / workflows• Analyze

Writing:• Write / code• Visualize• Cite• Translate

Publication:• Archive / share publications• Archive / share data & code• Select journal to submit to• Publish

Outreach:• Archive/share posters• Archive/share presentations• Tell about research outside academia• Researcher profiles/networks

Assessment:• Comment / peer review• Determine impact of research

output• Determine impact of researchers

INTERVENTION

After 5-10 minutes, the group was told they no longer have internet / wifi

• Use this unanswered question from the Ask Open Science Q&A website:

“What ethical caveats exist when doing Open Science?”

• Have the group discuss this quite in depth and formulate an answer of 50-100 words to this question

INTERVENTION

This group was constantly interrupted and their working environment was made noisy
