Dear students,
We inform you that registration is now open for the training course “Open Science: Basic Principles”, reserved for university students enrolled in a Master’s English Degree program. The course will be held in English.
At the end of the program, you will receive an open badge (more information here).
The aim of the training course, divided into three modules over 3 days (in 3-hour sessions each), is to provide guidance on the lifecycle of scientific publications - from research, to writing and all the way to publishing - on research data management. The sessions include also insights into how to write a data management plan, on identifying predatory publishers, how to search for open scientific literature, and how to assign re-use licenses to your digital content.
The course is thus organized as follows:
- Open Science:
- The principles of broad and widespread access to scientific knowledge and why this is important for students
- The formal and informal principles of science
- Rights and licenses for re-using research - Open Access:
- The system of production and dissemination of scientific publications
- The oligopolies in science and the scientific communities’ reactions
- Preprints, scientific journals, publishing platforms and predatory publishers - FAIR Data:
- The reproducibility crisis
- Why not managing research data is worse than properly managing it
- Research data management and FAIR data and FAIR practices
