Dear (known and new) NERQies,
we are happy to share exciting updates on the work of SIG_OS (special interest group on #OpenScience):
Starting with the question of what are the guiding principles of Open Science (#OS) in order to implement them in OS education, we have developed the #OpenScienceLearningGate (#GATE) over the last few months and presented it at #WCRI24 to great acclaim.
We will present the GATE to the #EuropeanCommission next week in Brussels.
About the GATE:
The GATE is an effective intersection that (1) enables a process of harmonization of OS principles and (2) leads to high quality OS #trainings that are badged by the GATE. It categorizes the current research landscape by standardizing OS principles (as OS is already an established approach, even if there is a lack of standards for certain stakeholders) and identifies OS trainings that meet these standards (badged trainings). (3) It also meets the needs of 12 target groups of the research process.
What do we need?
We are currently asking OS trainers and developers of OS trainings to participate in the GATE (by working through this questionnaire: LinkedIn). In this way we collect and inform about current OS principles and facilitate the badging process for the participants.
Would you like to know more about GATE?
OS trainers (and training developers) access the GATE and share their knowledge about their OS principles for their specific target groups. In turn, they learn which principles the community recommends. They use this knowledge to amend their training and are able to have their training badged if they implement a certain level of currently recommended principles (–> brand recognition). The GATE-badge identifies these trainings as high quality and in line with current OS standards for specific target groups.
The GATE-process is based on community consensus: the principles are collected directly from practitioners, ranked on the basis of majority nominations and reviewed by experts.
These results are published in annual reports and the participating trainers are regularly informed to enable updating their materials.
In this way, the GATE continuously establishes a common sense for OS training and conduct. Read more here: LinkedIn
