Kick-off of the new HorizonEurope project “ IP4OS – Unpacking the possibilities of Intellectual Properties for Open Science”
The symposium is the first part of the official launch of the new HorizonEurope project ‘IP4OS – Unpacking the possibilities of Intellectual Properties for Open Science’. The aim of IP4OS is social innovation: to empower multi-professional teams and their organisations in European countries with knowledge, skills, awareness and advocacy to boost the valorisation of scientific knowledge in the ERA to a new level by promoting a concerted approach to agile Intellectual Property (IP) management and Open Science (OS) practices. Agile synergies between IP management and OS promote intensive knowledge transfer, making research accessible for social, environmental and economic benefits, while safeguarding intellectual property rights and the exploitation of research results.The rich programme offers presentations on capacity building, Open Science, Intellectual Properties as well as security and licensing in research.
Reflections on the Process of Publishing a Data Paper
Data papers are an increasingly popular mode of academic publishing and play an important role in open scholarship. Due to their emergent status, however, not much is known about them. This talk aims to demystify data papers through the lens of an applied example. By walking through her experience of publishing a data paper for the big team science project, “Data from an International Multi-Centre Study of Statistics and Mathematics Anxieties and Related Variables in University Students (the SMARVUS Dataset)”, Jenny Terry will discuss the anatomy of a data paper and how the team approached the writing process, the purpose and benefits of a data paper, options for publishing, and some of the lessons learned along the way.
