Dear NERQies,
the year 2024 was extremely successful for our #SIG_OS and we thank all SIG-members as well as Julia Claire Prieß-Buchheit and Mariëtte Van Den Hoven and the whole #NERQ community for the wonderful collaboration!
Our milestones:
In spring 2024, we developed the #OpenScienceLearningGate (#GATE; more about it here: LinkedIn and here: LinkedIn), an online intersection that collects and disseminates knowledge about #OpenScience (#OS) guidelines from and to the research community, which are evaluated in parallel by GATE experts.
The GATE will monitor OS practices over the coming years and will inform and update the OS community on current OS standards (based on majority nomination and expert evaluation) in our annual GATE Reports - also appointing trainers who have participated in the GATE and thus provide high-quality OS training. This makes the GATE an effective tool to support the harmonisation of OS standards and to promote high-quality OS training.
In June we presented GATE at #WCRI24 to great public interest and in October to the #EuropeanCommission. In dialogues with experts, we have continued to refine the GATE questionnaire and were able to further expand the data collection (OS guidelines) in workshops, so that the GATE currently reflects a clear picture of the OS guidelines. Since November, we are collaborating with #OpenAIRE and will further expand the data collection with their Community of Practice for Trainers in January.
As announced at the SIG lead meeting in Brussels we will close the NERQ_OS group with the GATE and describe from here on NERQ as the founder of the GATE. We will start a new NERQ_OS group which will touch the GATE from time to time and concentrate on #IntellectualProperty and #OpenScience in 2025.
🫡 Outlook for the GATE in 2025 and needs:
- Further workshops and data collection will take place in 2025 and we will prepare the #GATEReport for the end of 2025.
- we are welcoming OS experts that aim to act as GATE evaluators of the OS guidelines collection. If you are interested please send a short letter of motivation and description of your expertise to Julia Claire Prieß-Buchheit or Marie Alavi.
- We close the SIG_OS and thank all members who have developed the GATE as well as Julia Claire Prieß-Buchheit for her highly professional SIG-leadership. All who are interested in supporting the continuation of the GATE project are very welcome. Please reach out to Julia Claire Prieß-Buchheit or Marie Alavi.
Thank you NERQ SIG and supporters!
