Module 1 of the Open Science MOOC is now LIVE! <a href="https://eliademy.com/catalog/oer/module-1-open-principles.html">https://eliademy.com/catalog/oer/module-1-open-principles.html</a></p><p>Twitter announcement: <a href="https://twitter.com/OpenScienceMOOC/status/1115174234551144448">https://twitter.com/OpenScienceMOOC/status/1115174234551144448</a></p><p>Rationale:<br></p><p> We live in a
really exciting time for global research! All around the world are
whispers of Open Science, also sometimes called Open Scholarship or Open
Research. Often, the values and principles that underpin open research
practices include things such as inclusivity, equity, and freedom. These
are key to developing a sense of shared understanding of open science
within the global research community, as well as connections with <span class="gmail-text_exposed_show">the wider 'open movement'. </span></p><div class="gmail-text_exposed_show"><p>
On the other hand, Open Science is often described as a set of research
practices, divided into two main parts. The first is output-based, and
includes things such as sharing code and data, as well as making
research articles themselves freely available. The second is
process-based, and more about adding more methodological transparency to
improve things such as reproducibility. In this module, we want to step
back a bit from this practical view of open science, and focus on the
principles. </p><p> To help get things kicked off, we have spoken with 6
researchers from every corner of the globe: Indonesia, Hungary, USA,
Australia, Ecuador, and Benin. These are their open science stories.
