LMU Open Science CenterCrossing the half-way point of the Open Science Summer School 2025 as we complete our third day ✅ So far, participants have gained hands on experience using RStudio, practiced version control using Git, tackled Open Science topics like replicability, credibility, open access, and more! It’s not too late to register for the final two public lectures: https://www.pretix.osc.lmu.de/lmu-osc/OSSS25/
📌 Here’s a recap of Day 3:
🧑🏫 Prof. Dr. Richard McElreath (@rlmcelreath) delivered a timely and riveting talk to promote standards such as version control, testing, documentation, and continuous integration in making science more professional.
📖 Prof. Dr. Felix Schoenbrodt (@nicebread) broke down what open access is, why it’s so important for researchers and society, how to use tools like open policy finder https://openpolicyfinder.jisc.ac.uk/ to check if your publishers allow you to deposit preprint, postprint or fully formatted articles on preprint servers or institutional repository; i.e. do green open access for free!
📚 Member of the Research Data Management team of the Universitätsbibliothek München, Laura Meier held a workshop where participants worked in small groups to learn about research data management plans, explore relevant resources, and practice skills gained in the previous FAIR research data management workshop.
💻 Dr. @MalikaIhle engaged all participants in a workshop to explore version control using Git and collaborate through GitHub ending with the merge of their pull requests!
With just two days left, we are excited to see how much more knowledge and skills the attendees already gained from this summer school!
