Learning Objectives:

LO1a: Understand the ethical, legal, social, economic, and research impact arguments for and against Open Science (knowledge).

LO1b: Set up a personal profile for defining your impact: measure the social and academic attention on the full range of research processes and outputs (tasks).

Key components:

  • What is "Open Science", and why should we care.

  • History of Open Science and Open Cultures.

  • Differences and commonalities in understanding and interpretation of the term.

  • Communities and diversity, inclusivity, fairness, equity, social behaviour, accountability, ethics and responsibility.

  • Open Science on a global scale.

  • How Open Science influences your career now and the future of research evaluation.

  • Open licensing, copyright, and speaking ‘legalise’.

  • The different dimensions of Open Science (e.g., Open Access, Open Data, Open Peer Review).

  • What are some of the barriers to Open Science, and why.

  • Open science and reproducible research: 2 sides of the same coin?

  • Get a Publons account, integrate with your new ORCID, and valorise your reviewer effort!

  • Get an ImpactStory account, and integrate with ORCID, showcase your output (not just publications)!

  • Write a summary about Open Access efforts either on your research discipline and/or in your country. If you have a website or blog, post it there.

    • Were the data for this easy to acquire? Which sources did you use?
  • Look at the status of Open Science in your research group or lab. Make a note of who is doing what. What could be improved?

  • Define clearly what Open Science means to you. Have a conversation about it with a colleague. Then, find someone from a different country, and have another conversation about Open Science.

  • Find out the policies are in your department or institute regarding:

    • Career progression and assessment.

    • Publishing and Open Access.

    • Data sharing.
