From Zero to Open Science Hero
Are you interested in making your research more transparent, reproducible and reusable, but aren't sure where to start? This interactive workshop introduces key Open Science practices and helps you identify which approaches are most relevant to your own research.
Using the research lifecycle as a guiding framework, we explore practical Open Science strategies that can be applied at different stages of a research project:
- Preregistration: Learn when preregistration is useful, address common misconceptions, and discover how it can increase transparency from the very beginning of a project.
- Open Data & Materials: Explore how to prepare and share research outputs responsibly, choose appropriate repositories, and apply FAIR principles and licences.
- Open Code: Learn why analysis code is an important research output and how version control and software licences contribute to transparent and reproducible research.
The aim of this course is to help you identify your optimal entry points into Open Science and to equip you with the knowledge needed to take your first steps in implementing Open Science in your research.
