Open Science for researchers in the social sciences: principles, resources and practical tips
The movement in favour of Open Science has gained notable momentum and is increasingly shaping all aspects of research funding, evaluation, publications and practice. Yet, many researchers are still uncertain of what Open Science exactly consists of, how they should modify their everyday research activities, or what are the resources at hand to help them navigate these changing expectations. This hybrid session will provide an introductory presentation of the core principles that guide Open Science and will offer practical tips of how to go about engaging with Open Science on your everyday research activities. The session will leave enough time to Q&A focusing on participants’ needs and queries.
Speaker
Professor Laura Morales, Professor in Political Science/Comparative Politics (Sciences Po) and a Research Data Alliance/EOSC Future Ambassador (Open Science)
