This umbrella category contains lectures and resources on the Open Science movement, that is, the movement that aims to make scholarly research – including publications, data, software, and educational resources – openly accessible to the public. It includes introductory lectures on Open Science, as well as contents relating to corresponding (inter)national projects and strategies.
The goal of Open Access is to give researchers, students, and the interested public free and immediate access to scholarly publications. The lectures and materials in this category provide an overview of the topic, give guidance on how to put Open Access into practice, and address related issues such as predatory publishers.
Open Data aims to encourage the sharing of data and code on repositories in order to make research results transparent and reproducible. In addition to Open Data, the content published in this category relates to FAIR data, as well as to best practices when it comes to the reproducibility of scientific research.
The term Research Data Management (RDM) describes the organization, storage, sharing and preservation of data collected or re-used in a research project. The lectures in this category cover topics such as metadata and data management plans, and they provide guidance on how to deal with sensitive data in the era of Open Data.
