Training and registration
Day and time : 13-Dec-21, 11:00 - 12:30
Short description : The presentation aims to cover what researcher have to know and what they have to be aware of when they publish in open access: money issues (what are APC and how to have them founded), which publisher is (not) the right choice, main open access pathways (green and diamond)
Speakers : Sébastien Perrin (SU), Stefano Bolelli (UM)
Registration Form : sign up
Day and time : 10-Jan-22, 10:00 - 11:30
Short description : Data Management Plans (DMP) play an important role for planning and conducting research activities and more and more researchers are facing requirements by their institution or funding agency for writing such a plan. Thereby, they are often misunderstood as an administrative task. Instead, DMPs are a powerful tool for efficient and secure collaboration and for the creation of research outputs of better quality and higher impact.
A DMP will also help you to develop strategies for sharing and publishing your research data as openly as possible (and protecting them, when necessary).
In this session, we will introduce the typical components of a DMP and discuss how the plan can be used actively throughout a research project. It will be targeted towards PhD students, but it will also be relevant for anyone working with research data.
Speakers : Cécile Arènes, Océane Valencia (SU), Falco Hüser (UCPH)

Day and time : 27-Jan-22, 15:00 - 16:30
Short description : In our presentation, we will talk first about the phenomenon of predatory publishers; we will present the characteristics of their dishonest and often illegal business model and show some schemes of recognizing and avoiding publishing at predators. Then, we will discuss a new emerging challenge for scholarly publishing that is the identity fraud of scientific journals: hijacked journals. Those two phenomena might endanger the integrity of scholarly communication by violating the reliability of scholarly publications and hence, deform the image of science and influence badly your research career. Join us to equip yourself with a knowledge shield that will protect you against scammers!
Speakers : Zuza Wiorogorska (UW), Georg Schwesinger (UHEI)

Day and time : 07-Feb-22, 10:00 - 11:30
Short description : Through this online course, you will learn about the publishing process for academic books in Humanities and Social Sciences, from the planning of your publication strategy to the choice of publisher, the selection of the license, and peer-review. What should you expect? How does open access publication work?
Speakers : Martin Nissen (UHEI), Pascale Pauplin (SU)

Day and time : 07-Mar-22, 15:00 - 16:30
Short description : Collecting, processing and analyzing data are central activities for virtually every researcher and topics such as data sharing and the so-called FAIR data principles are becoming increasingly important. This course is meant to give a general, discipline-independent introduction to research data management with a special focus on questions related to data publication and open data.
Speakers : Jochen Apel (UHEI), Paola Galimberti (UM)

Day and time : 21-Mar-22, tba
Short description : soon available.
Speakers : Roberto di Cosmo, Software Heritage (SU), Dominic Kempf & Inga Ulosoy (Scientific Software Center, UHEI)

Day and time : 04-Apr-22, 12:30 - 14:00
Short description : [Provisional abstract] Overview of common juridical aspect of copyright in european countries (Why copyright management is important for you :
- Intellectual property of publications and copyright agreement contracted with publishers (copyright transfer agreement and license to publish) Here we could take several exemples of agreements and explain the differences even for different versions of a work (preprint post print VoR)
- CC licences, what is it ? How it works for the reuse of scientific contents
Speakers : Rasmus Riise (UCPH), Violaine Jacq (SU), Paola Galimberti (UM)
Registration Form : sign up
Day and time : 09-May-22, 10:00 - 11:30
Short description : The humanities today use digital tools for their research projects. This training is an opportunity to review research data and FAIR principles in humanities projects. In this session, we will provide an introduction to the research data life cycle, and then discuss how the digital humanities produce and must manage research data. We will show what it means to create FAIR data, even before a project begins. We will also see the management differences between the physical objects, their various digital forms and metadata, as well as the research data produced during the project.
Finally, we will finish with a review of tools and good practices, before showing examples, such as data reuse and the use of the CIDOC CRM ontology.
Speakers : Matthias Arnold (UHEI), Cécile Arènes et Océane Valencia (SU)

Day and time : 06-Jun-22, 15:00 - 16:30 [time slot flexible]
Short description : Most people are able to produce high value data using their observation capacities and following guidelines, and willing to do so provided that it makes sense and that they learn from their participation. Moreover, these data may be enriched by each contributor's local kwoledge, intention, interpretation, leading to unique data that cannot be produced by other means. Data sharing among participants may further improve data quality (e.g., organized quality control) and develop sense of belonging, a strong motivation for participation. Designing citizen science in such way open avenues for innovative research, particularly in the context of the socio-ecological transition we are facing.
Speakers : Romain Julliard (SU), Szymon Andrzejewski (UW).

Day and time : 20-Jun-22, 10:00 - 11:30
Short description : How can open science contribute to research integrity? And, conversely, is research integrity always synonymous with data opening and, more generally, with transparency? In our presentation, we will question the close links between scientific integrity and openness in research.
Speakers : Anouk Barberousse, research integrity officer & Sébastien Perrin or Anne-Catherine Fritzinger (SU), Paola Galimberti (UM)

Day and time : 04-Jul-22, 10:00 - 11:30
Short description : Regarding the growing number of policies to promote open science, it is necessary to discuss its impact on scientific communities and society. First, we will examine the uses of bibliometrics in relation with open science. Second, we will consider the societal impact of science.
Speakers : Sébastien Perrin & Kristell Roser (SU).

Watch previous sessions:
- Session du 8 novembre 2021 : "What is Open Science ?"
Short description : Openness and transparency are closely linked to the scientific method. But how open can and should research be? The lecture would like to invite you to participate in the current discussion about open science in its different facets by providing a broad overview - from open access over the FAIR data principles and citizen science to the European Open Science Cloud.
Speakers : Jochen Apel (UHEI) ; Milan Janicek (CU) ; Richard Dennis (UCPH).
- Session du 29 novembre 2021 : "What are my funders requirements on Open Science? A focus on Plan S"
Short description : Funders have been pushing for open science. What is changing with plan S? This online course presents the funders requirements for open science and explores the Creative Commons licenses. Also, it will be a reminder about open access options for your article and the tools which will help you to choose the best way to publish in open access.
Speakers : Violaine Jacq ; Pascale Pauplin (Sorbonne Université)
