Instructions for learners
Focusing on the practical implementation of open science, this unit covers the management of research data, the process of open-access publication, and the utilization of various infrastructures that support open dissemination of knowledge. Participants will learn how to create robust data management plans and navigate the complexities of publishing and sharing their research openly and effectively.
Training Goals
The aim of this section is to help researchers manage the data generated in their research activity. It will examine the life cycle of research data, including the planning, collection, processing and analysis, storage and protection of research data up to when they can be shared and published.Course Structure
Details:
- Duration: 20 hours
- Focus: FAIR principles, open-access publishing, and data management.
- Self Assessment questionnaire
Learning Outcomes
The learners will:
- Develop a data management plan considering ethical and legal aspects.
- Acquire knowledge of the ecosystem of platforms and journals for scientific publication.
- Understand various channels for the open publication of scientific results.
Prerequisites
Learners are expected to have:
- Basic understanding of scientific research processes.
- Familiarity with the concepts of data management and publication.
- Awareness of the ethical considerations in scientific research.
Instructions for learners
This session delves into the pillars of open science such as open access to publications, data, and educational resources, along with citizen science and open science policies. It also covers the historical milestones of the open access movement and the relevant European and Spanish legal frameworks.
