Blog – Page 6 – UC3M TICKET TO OPEN SCIENCE 2024

Today we begin the UC3M Ticket to Open Science sessions. Some questions remained unanswered. Does anyone dare to comment?

Isn’t a platform such as Sci-hub what we want to create for Open Science? A portal accessible for everyone containing all the scientific knowledge? Why some researchers are so against it?
What are the risks of Open source?
Are there potential interest conflicts between scientific research ethics and open science?
How can this new paradigm of open publications will be adapted with previous publications that were published but not in an open journal? Is it supposed that there will be a migration? Or this way of publication only works from now on?

And someone let us know about another open source reference manager, JabRef, that works directly over the BibTex file so it’s easier versioning, sharing and managing it. Thank you for sharing.

Here we will create a collective blog gathering all the contributions of the UC3M PhD students attending “UC3M Ticket to Open Science“, which is part of the Research Skills Training Program at the Doctoral School of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Every student must write a post with her/his opinion about the workshop, what she/he has learnt and what are the main challenges from his/her own perspective on the new Indicators, FAIRData and citizen science in the realm of Open Science. You must also address your questions through sli.do and participate in Twitter during the event (hashtag #OpenScienceUC3M).

Open Science represents a new approach to the scientific process based on cooperative work and new ways of diffusing knowledge by using digital technologies and new collaborative tools. The idea captures a systemic change to the way science and research have been carried out for the last fifty years: shifting from the standard practices of publishing research results in scientific publications towards sharing and using all available knowledge at an earlier stage in the research process.

Here you are some useful links to contextualize the Workshop:

OSPP-REC: Open Science Policy Platform Recommendations. The set of recommendations by stakeholder groups addressing the main 8 challenges of the European Open Science Agenda.
Open Innovation, Open Science, Open to the World (2016). The book from the EC lead by Commissioner Moedas that summarizes the Open policies of European Science.
Providing researchers with the skills and competencies they need to practise Open Science (2017). High level expert group report on skills, propsing recommendations to ensure that researchers in Europe have appropriate skills and competences to practice Open Science.
Evaluation of Research Careers fully acknowledging Open Science Practices (2017). Report of the HLEG on rewards, incentives and/or recognition for researchers practicing Open Science.
