Learn about the theory and practice of open science tools to promote transparent and credible research (e.g. preregistration, registered reports, blinding, data management, open notebook, replication, data and code sharing).

• Dominique Roche, University of Neuchâtel, Center for Open Science ambassador
• Heidi Seibold, University of Zurich
• Luc Henry, EPF, Lausanne
• Anne Scheel, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands
• Xenia Schmalz, Ludwig-Maximillians University, Munich, Germany

Dominique Roche will give an introductory talk on the reproducibility crisis and open science as a counter-movement to the mainstream high productivity, publish-or-perish approach to science.

Four invited speakers will then give 45-minute presentations on various topics related to open science and different tools available to carry out research in a more transparent way. The lectures will highlight the theory and practice (i.e. implementation) of these tools. The workshop will end with a panel discussion and question period.

Pre-course assignment:

The students will be asked to read two review/opinion papers of their choice on open science .

Suggested readings: PDF-1 and PDF-2
