Open Science – Open Principles V3

Abstract

The learning module 'Open Science – Open Principles' is available as an Open Educational Resource via the following link: https://ilias.uni-marburg.de/goto.php/crs/4265627.

Modifications and reuse of the learning module are possible, please download the published XML file, import it into ILIAS and continue working on it.This publication includes an ILIAS installation file for the digital learning module, as well as a 'readme' file which explains how to import the course into your institution's ILIAS instance.

The module itself introduces you or your students to the guiding principles, values and practices of 'Open Science', some of the potential barriers to these and the positive impact that integrating openness into your daily research work can have. Rather than taking a 'one size fits all' approach, this module provides a foundational plan that incorporates questions around the varying and dynamic dimensions, interpretations, and goals of Open Science across different communities. The module's learning objectives are to provide ethical, legal, social, economic, philosophical, and research-relevant arguments for and against Open Science and information on its core principles, as well as to initiate your own open science practice. Although designed primarily for graduate and undergraduate students, this module can also be used for training postdocs and more senior researchers. Our aim is to make openness universal and accessible to all, not just a select few. The module is cross-disciplinary, covering all research branches including engineering, medicine, biosciences, mathematics, social sciences, humanities and the arts. Therefore, irrespective of your background, you are very welcome to join us. No prior knowledge is required to use the interactive learning module. The chapters build on each other thematically, but can also be worked on individually. Duration: Five hours (including tasks). The estimated total processing time is the time taken to read all the texts with concentration and watch some the videos. If all the videos are watched and time is spent looking up further information via the provided links, it will take longer.
