Data access statements: building trust through transparency
Data access statements are a cornerstone of responsible research, providing users with clear guidance on how and whether they can access the underlying research data that supports your findings. In the age of open science, these statements are more than just a funder requirement, they are an important tool for facilitating data sharing and ensuring reproducible research. By including a well-crafted data access statement in your publications, you demonstrate a commitment to transparency and rigor, helping to enhance your research profile and boost citations by fostering trust in your work.
IGDORE ReproducibiliTea and Open Science Coffee
ReproducibiliTea is a journal club initiative that has resulted in journal clubs about open science and replicability in academic departments all over the world (see https://reproducibilitea.org/ for more history and information). IGDORE is now proud to announce our own ReproducibiliTea journal club fully online, allowing people to join from wherever they happen to be in the world!
This journal club is suited for beginners to open science. To fully understand what the open science movement is built upon, we will cover important basic concepts and discuss the most seminal works. Each session will be based on an article which all participants read in advance. Depending on the session topic, other resources such as Youtube videos or optional reading may be provided to facilitate the discussions. These will always be optional; you are never expected to prepare more than reading the session article.
Everyone is welcome – from student to Nobel Prize laureate; from intern to CEO. No prior knowledge is required to participate, but the article discussions will probably be more valuable to you if you have a university-level understanding of quantitative and/or qualitative research methodology

Teaching what we Practice – Open Science in Higher Education
This event is part of the Coffee Lectures on Open Science Education.
Abstract: Teaching what we practice means emphasizing the importance of integrating Open Science principles into academic teaching. The relevance of these practices lies in fostering a learning environment that mirrors the evolving landscape of scientific research. By embracing Open Science in higher education, instructors can teach students not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills in transparent, accessible, and reproducible research. This approach includes employing open science practices such as filling out a pre-registration form, making students aware that sharing materials and data is helpful, and highlighting the importance of replications. As higher education institutions increasingly adopt these practices, they prepare students for a future where open and collaborative research is the norm, bridging the gap between academic training and real-world scientific practices. Lastly, current students seem to be open to open science practices anyways – creating a winning setting.
Speaker: Meikel Soliman, Leuphana University Lüneburg
Meikel Soliman is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lab Manager of the “Leuphana Laboratories” at the Faculty of Management & Technology at Leuphana University. His research focuses on consumer behaviour, the emotion of embarrassment and consumer ethics. He also explores the question of what people associate with the term happiness and what behaviour really makes people happy (vs. what people think makes them happy).
FAIR February: R wie Dokumentation

Measuring, monitoring and evaluating open research
here is an ecosystem where open research is increasingly prioritised with a range of frameworks, concordats, policies and recommendations for increasing open research practices. Monitoring and evaluating uptake of open research practices helps us to understand compliance with policies, gain insight on the impact of engagement with open research practices and evaluate the effectiveness of those policies and recommendations. However, the research ecosystem brings together a wide range of inputs with considerations to be made on the appropriateness of open research practices. Moreover, the range of open research practices available to us is myriad. How do we measure, monitor and evaluate open research practices accurately and responsibly?
In this session, Laetitia Bracco will present the French Open Science Monitor, a national tool designed to steer French public policy regarding Open Science. She will explain the background, methodology and outcomes of this project which currently covers scientific publications, clinical trials, research data and software.
Iratxe Puebla will talk about Make Data Count, an initiative that promotes the development of open data metrics to enable evaluation of data usage. Iratxe will discuss how data metrics offer an opportunity for a fresh approach to evaluating usage and impact, and share updates from Make Data Count projects that aim to scale the data usage information available to the community, enhance the context of usage measures, and advance adoption of data evaluation.
At the intersection of openness, reproducibility, and training
In this session Dr John Shaw will introduce FORRT, share some of their projects, such as the Replication and Reversals Project, and introduce their latest Project- POSTEdu, a pedagogically-informed, evidence-based, self-guided program for supporting the teaching of Open Science.
The Framework for Open Reproducible Research Training (FORRT) provides a pedagogical infrastructure & didactic resources designed to recognize and support the teaching and mentoring of open and reproducible science.
Open Research Week closing keynote – The impact of being ‘open’ for small charities
Most of the time we talk about open research within our own communities and yet open research can have a greater impact and affect than we realise outside of academia. In this session we will be hearing from two colleagues: Dr Andi Skilton, who helped set up and is Chair of Trustees for the small charity Stargardt’s Connected, will talk about being open from his charity’s perspective and Professor Pooja Saini, who carries out research with small charities, will talk about the issues she has faced balancing her research aims, her collaborators’ aims and being as open as possible.
