What is Open Science? Open Science is a movement to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all. This includes open access to publications, data, methods, and software.
What does it mean for you as a PhD candidate? Open Science is about conducting research transparently and reproducibly. It emphasises sharing your work openly and collaborating more effectively.
Why is Open Science beneficial to PhD researchers?
- Increased visibility & impact: Openly sharing your research can lead to wider readership, more citations, and greater impact in your field.
- Enhanced collaboration: Open Science promotes collaboration by making your data and methods readily available, helping you make connections with other researchers.
- Improved reproducibility: Following open science principles makes your research more transparent and easier to reproduce, enhancing its credibility.
- Career advancement: Demonstrating open science practices can enhance your reputation and make you a more competitive candidate for academic and research positions. Open Science is increasingly valued in research evaluations.
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn the fundamentals of open science and its benefits.
