This training is an opportunity to learn from other researchers at KU Leuven how they implement Open Science principles. The focus will be on preregistration and registered reports, tools for sharing research data, code, and software, and how Open Science can be implemented in a lab environment. Details about the program and about how to register can be found here.

KU Leuven’s very own interdisciplinary ReproducibiliTea journal club is looking for coordinators and participants who want to learn from each other about what it takes to do open research. Learn more about everything from open data to preprint publishing, preregistration, and handling personal data, like in the following example:

That’s one of the most interesting things about ReproducibiliTea Leuven for me: Every time, I learn something new. For example, about the multitude of different data types that people work with or about the diverse array of issues researchers from different disciplines must consider. In one of our meetings, a colleague from movement sciences explained that they worked a lot with video data, which comes with major privacy issues; when a participant’s arm is being filmed and the participant has a tattoo, that is identifiable data. Another researcher talked about how to handle sensitive interview data from bereaved parents, and it all made me realize how crucial it is that open science practices are flexible, so they can cater to an array of potential use cases.

The DHNB 2023 Conference is now open for registration. The Conference will be held online and will feature a variety of topics on our theme of Sustainability: Environment, Community, and Data in the digital humanities. Create an account and register on ConfTool to secure your spot!

The Program Committee and the Organising Committee are working on drafting a complete conference program. A preliminary program will be published on our website by the end of January 2023. Stay tuned!
