I can’t believe I’ve been to busy to boast about my new office artwork by @welshpixie which I acquired on Mastodon! I framed it last weekend and it has been adorning my office since Monday morning! 🤩 #ReproducibiliTea #MastodonArt #Calligraphy

TODAY 4-5:30 pm CEST, we are delighted to welcome a representative of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas: Dr. Angela Holzer will be with us to discuss the funders' role in promoting and supporting #OpenScience.

The recommended reading is: "Open Science as Part of Research Culture. Positioning of the German Research Foundation" which is co-authored by Angela Holzer: https://zenodo.org/records/7194537.

Join us in person @unibibkoeln to enjoy a cuppa and some biscuits with us or brew your own and join us online (please sign up to our mailing list to get the Zoom link: https://ub.uni-koeln.de/en/courses-consultations/reproducibilitea-in-the-humaniteas). Or send me a DM if you sign up after 2:30 pm.

Open Science as Part of Research Culture. Positioning of the German Research Foundation

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) considers open science as scientific practices and processes that are established or designed to make research results openly accessible for the long term, thereby ensuring an increased uptake of these results by researchers and other stakeholders. The DFG regards open science as a consequence of the digital transformation of research processes, which has essential functions in the practice of research. The DFG’s engagement of shaping open science is in terms of DFG’s role and responsibilities within the research system. As the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany, DFG funds research of the highest quality, strengthens the national research system through strategic funding initiatives, and shapes appropriate framework conditions and standards to enable curiosity-driven research. When implemented in a science-serving manner, open science can promote these goals by optimising research processes, facilitating the re-usability of research results, stimulating discourses within science and the humanities, increasing the transparency of science towards society and strengthening trust in research and scholarship. With regard to open science, the DFG seeks to shape the relevant framework, while taking into account the needs and requirements of the scientific community. The DFG supports researchers and research infrastructures in establishing and applying open science practices. The DFG is committed to the further development of principles and practices of open science based on a balanced view of its potential and challenges for research and scholarship.

The first couple of blog posts by my students about #ReproducibiliTea in the Humaniteas are now online!

Julia reported on the Library Night with the motto "Gaming", as part of which we played a collaborative discussion game on tackling research-related ethical dilemma and Kathrin reported (in German) about Martine Grice's session on diamond #OpenAcces publishing: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/posts.html. #OpenScience

This summer semester I'm very excited to teach a brand-new seminar on "Open Science practices in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition" @UniKoeln! ☀️

Some 20 B.A. and M.A. students studying #linguistics or a Romance language (+ one post-doc) signed up for this rather experimental course, many of whom had never heard of #OpenScience before. For this course, I've ditched the University's learning management system (ILIAS) and opted for a maximally open way to share teaching materials as I go along: https://elenlefoll.quarto.pub/os-linguistics2025/.   

Students are also required to attend at least two #ReproducibiliTea in the #HumaniTeas session and to co-author a blog post about one session. Very curious to see how things will pan out! 🤓
