Hello everyone,
I thought some of you might be interested in this event coming up next week:
Open practices are empowering faculty, staff and students in Canada to transform the way
they create, manage and share their research and educational efforts. Join us on September
29, 2017 for a full day of hands-on
workshops<http://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/open-scholarship-in-practice/> exploring
the practice of open scholarship including an afternoon session hosted by the Center for
Open Science about the many simple actions researchers can take to increase the efficiency
and reproducibility of their work with the Open Science Framework
platform<https://osf.io/>.
The Open Science Framework (OSF) is an open source web application that supports the
research workflow, enabling scientists to collaborate and increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of their research by making it much easier (in fact, virtually automatic)
for researchers to keep track of what they've done, and why. This framework, which
does not require any specialized knowledge of programming, was used to work on an
important
study<https://www.nature.com/news/over-half-of-psychology-studies-fail-r…
of the reproducibility of psychology research.
Additional workshops will explore topics ranging from new tools for open data analysis and
scientific computation to innovative pedagogies that become possible when students and
faculty members become co-creators engaged in meaningful, generative knowledge creation.
All events are free but
registration<http://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/open-scholarship-in-practice-registration/?>
is required.
Cheers,
Rosario
