How to use the Open Science Framework?

When: 11th of February 2019

Teacher: Dr. Antonio Schettino (FPPW, Dept. of experimental clinical and health psychology)

Description:  The Open Science Framework (OSF) is a free, open-source web-app that manages research projects at all stages of the research lifecycle and connects the tools researchers use.  Which means that when you're looking for an online platform specifically developed for researchers to collaborate with their international colleagues on all levels of the project, the OSF might be something you will like to use.  From quick file senders, awards for preregistration, the integration of Dropbox, Github, figshare to DOIs and repositories, OSF covers every aspect of the research lifecycle. And in this session Dr. Schettino will show you how to use OSF. More info: https://osf.io/

When: 21st of February 2019

Teachers: Esther De Smet (DOZA) and Lies Vermeesch (FEB)

Description: This sessions is for researchers who no longer need convincing that setting up a communication and outreach strategy is part of being a modern scientist or scholar.  They also believe that social media has earned its place in this strategy.  But they are not quite sure how to take it to the next level.  Sure, they read the occasional blog or have created a Twitter account but now what?  Esther will show you how social media (with a focus on Twitter) can fit into the larger scheme of developing your skills, enlarging your network, and sharing your knowledge.

Teachers: Inge Van Nieuwerburgh (University Library) and Prof. Dr. Elsy Verhofstadt (EB21)

Description: These days the terminology on open access and open access policies of funders and journals have become much more confusing.  What's the good open access and what's the bad open access?  Why do we still have to pay?  And what's this thing called Plan S and how does the Belgian law change in 2020?  Inge Van Nieuwerburgh of the University Library will talk about all of the above and about how to license your publications/data. After this prof. Elsy Verhofstadt will quickly talk about the faculty guidelines on authorship.
