Programme
9:30 -10:00 Registration
10:00 – 10:10 Welcome
10:10 – 10:35 Johan Rooryck (cOAlition S, BE) – cOAlition S: the road ahead
In this presentation, we will discuss the current activities and future plans of cOAlition S in moving to a scholarly communication system that enables rapid, open, transparent, and equitable sharing of trustworthy scientific knowledge.
10:35 – 11:05 Laetitia Bracco (l’Université de Lorraine, FR) – French Open Science Monitoring
Since 2018, France has a National Open Science Plan meant to impulse and develop the opening of all scientific outputs: publications, data, software, clinical trials… Since 2019, the French Open Science Monitor (FOSM) tries to capture the efficiency of this public policy through different indicators. This paper will present the latest version of the FOSM, which focuses on research data and software.
11:05 – 11:35 Sándor Soós (Hungarian Academy of Sciences, HU) – Bibliometrics as a key to Open Access Publishing – but not the way you think of it
Open science and open access publishing has brought about a great deal of optimism regarding a new paradigm of bibliometrics. The majority of expectations have been directed towards new metrics based on the open access publishing culture, which have been hoped to enhance the validity of research assessment. This presentation will illustrate a number of instances, based on current research, where the utilisation of bibliometric methodology helps to dispel myths or, at the very least, to elucidate common misperceptions surrounding OA publishing. One typical example is the relationship between OA and the notion of ‚questionable journals‘, which has its roots in the perceptions of the research community facing the growing complexities of the publication industry.
11:35 – 11:50 Coffee Break
11:50 – 12:30 Matej Antol (MUNI, EOSC CZ) – Towards the Development of the Czech Data Infrastructure for FAIR Research Data
EOSC CZ is a Czech national initiative dedicated to advancing best practices in research data management across scientific communities. In the core of the initiative is the development of the National Data Infrastructure (NDI) – a platform for managing, sharing, and accessing FAIR research data. Together with the national e-infrastructure e-INFRA CZ, it creates a comprehensive environment that fosters responsible science and enhances the competitiveness of Czech research in the digital age.
12:30 – 13:00 Rita Pinhasi (KEMÖ consortium, AT) – Open access publishing in Austria
13:00 – 14:00 Lunch
14:00 – 14:30 Maria Kadlec Markova (SpringerNature, CZ) – Accelerating open science with tools not rules
Although researchers are increasingly opening up their papers, peer reviews, data, protocols, code and other research outputs, progress towards a world in which scientific knowledge is as open as it can be, has been slow. In this talk, I’ll look at some of the key milestones on the long road to open science and I’ll describe how tools rather than rules are helping researchers improve the transparency, reproducibility, and integrity of their research.
14:30 – 15:00 TBA (SK) – Citizen Science in Slovakia
