Incorporating Open Science principles in your PhD trajectory

This course will introduce Open Science (OS) practices and how it can strengthen one’s research trajectory. The course will demonstrate how the incorporation of OS practices is supplemental to one’s research activities, rather than additional work.

Over the course of three weeks, you will explore OS principles and discuss the benefits of making scientific research more transparent, inclusive, and collaborative. Throughout the course, you will learn best-practices to implement OS practices, such as submitting a pre-registration on OSF, and map how OS practices can be implemented into one’s research trajectory.

The three sessions can be broken down as follows.

• The first session will cover key OS concepts such as Open Access, Open Data, Open Software, Open Education and Public Engagement.  
• The second session will provide participants the opportunity to incorporate some of the practices into their current PhD trajectory.
• The third, and final session, will recap what has been discussed and participants will share their research roadmap and where OS practices will make the most impact.

Learning goals:

By the end of the course, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the research community and advocate for openness in your respective fields. 

• Introduction to Open Science practices
• Recognise the benefits of incorporating OS practices into research practices
• Create a roadmap of one’s (proposed) PhD research incorporating OS

Course dates:

The course consists of three 2-hour sessions, which will take place on November 15, 22, 29 (13:00 to 15:00).
