Monday, 21 October 2024

11:00 – 13:00: Open Science, Open Access, RDM, RSE, and Further Developments in Scientific Publishing (Information Stand in the Seecasino)

Target group: All employees who are interested in the topic.

Content: Open science refers to an open information exchange in science. To achieve open science, the topics of open access, open data, and open source must be combined. Learn about relevant initiatives and projects on the Jülich campus as well as future plans at our information stand in Forschungszentrum Jülich’s Seecasino.

14:00 – 15:30: Open Access Monitoring – Opportunities and Challenges for Open Science (Quo vadis panel discussion in German)

Speaker: Irene Barbers (Central Library, Forschungszentrum Jülich), Najko Jahn (University of Göttingen), Dr. Jochen Johannsen (RWTH Aachen University), Dr. Maxi Kindling (Open-Access-Büro Berlin)
Moderator: Prof. Dr. Heinz Pampel (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin & Helmholtz Open Science Office)

Target group: Alle interessierten Mitarbeitenden aus der Wissenschaft, die Argumente und Trends beim Open Access Monitoring kennenlernen wollen.

Content: Um die Entwicklung der Transformation zu Open Access zu bestimmen, werden oftmals Indikatoren wie Publikationszahlen oder Publikationskosten betrachtet. Offene Daten sind dafür ein zentraler Baustein. Mit OpenAlex und der flankierenden Barcelona Declaration on Open Research Information ist die Open Access Community weltweit auf einem guten Weg, das Monitoring nicht nur kommerziellen Anbietern zu überlassen. Gleichzeitig stellen sich bei dem Monitoring neue Herausforderungen, wenn es zum Beispiel darum geht, weitergehende Prinzipien der offenen Wissenschaft z.B. im Bereich des wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizierens in den Blick zu nehmen oder weitere Publikationsformate und -praktiken zu betrachten. Fragen die sich hier stellen, sind unter anderem:

  • Wie können wir beispielsweise die wachsende Zahl von Community-Led-Initiativen und ihre Publikations- und Finanzierungsmodelle erfassen und dabei nicht nur den quantitativen Output von Journals und Artikels zählen?
  • Wie können Einrichtungen ihre Bemühungen zum Aufbau offener Publikationsinfrastrukturen besser sichtbar machen?
  • Wie kann die Umsetzung von Strategien nicht nur mit Blick auf das Ergebnis zu einem Zeitpunkt X, sondern mit Blick auf den Prozess sichtbar gemacht werden?
  • Wie viel Einfluss hat das, was wir messen und bestimmen, auf den Weg, den wir bei der Open-Access-Transformation einschlagen?

Wednesday, 23 October 2024

10:00 – 10:45: JuSER publications portal – A New Start with MyCoRe (Webinar in German)

Speaker: Cornelia Plott und Heike Lexis (both ZB, FZJ)

Target group: All interested members of the scientific community who are looking to publish.

Content: The services and online portals of the Central Library are constantly being developed. After more than 10 years of operating and improving the JuSER publications portal, we are preparing to switch to a much more modern software solution in 2025. In this webinar, you can gain an initial insight and give us your feedback.

14:00 – 14:45: Kick-Start Research Data Management (webinar in English)

Speaker: Ines Schmahl (ZB, FZJ)

Target group: Any interested employees from science and science management.

Content: This webinar presentation offers an introduction to the topic of research data management (RDM). It also provides an overview of the most important key concepts such as the data life cycle, FAIR principles, and data management plans. Forschungszentrum Jülich offers support to help researchers implement research data management in their working group or institute. A range of services and tools have been developed over the last few years. These will be presented in the second part of the presentation. In particular, the training programmes on offer will be discussed.

Thursday, 24 October 2024

8:30 – 17:30: Content Curators or How to Let Research Data Management Improve your Research Output (workshop in English)

Speaker: Justin Finnerty (IAS-6), Sebastian Lehmann (IET-1), Monica Gonzalez-Marquez (ZB), Ines Schmahl (ZB)

Target group: Supervisors, head of research teams, doctoral researchers, senior researchers, and any other employees interested. 

Content: In this workshop the concept of managing data with the so-called "Content Curators", developed by the institute INM-6 and adopted by the institute IET-1, is introduced. Their tasks include having an overview of projects, knowing best practices and accompanying on- and off-boarding. In this context, 4 curation levels of data are identified that need to be considered in sound data management. It ranges from data that are only relevant to the particular user to data that are part of scientific publications. The Institute’s publication process includes several measures and reviews. When employees are off-boarded, this ensures that their data - provided it is highly relevant - is archived appropriately.

14:00 – 14:45: Journey to FAIR Research Software with MATLAB (HiRSE webinar in English)

Speaker: Mihaela Jarema (Senior Customer Success Engineer, MathWorks), Claire Wyatt (Community Manager for Research Software Engineering, FZJ)

Target group: Anyone doing Research Software Engineering.

Content: Research software must be sustainable to enable scientists to build on the work of their peers effectively. This talk explores key capabilities, tools and services for researchers using MATLAB to develop FAIR research software. Additionally, the talk will describe complimentary collaboration opportunities with MathWorks aimed at facilitating sustainable research.
