Objectives
 Introduce the approaches, tools and common
practices of Open Science.
 Learn about concomitant terms (Open Notebook,
Open Data, Open Research Software, Open Access),
as they can directly enrich each step of the scholarly
lifecycle.
 Situate research outputs in the context of shared
economy and values of openness.

2 routes to open access:
green and gold
 Self-archiving / 'green' open access – the author, or a
representative, archives (deposits) the published article
or the final peer-reviewed manuscript in an online
repository before, during or after publication.
 Open access publishing / 'gold' open access - an
article is published immediately in open access
mode. This includes a fee (Article Processing
Charges, APCs) borne by the researcher's university
or research institute or the agency funding the
research.

Identifiers
Contributors should also be uniquely
identifiable, and data uniquely attributable,
through identifiers which are persistent, non-
proprietary, open and interoperable (e.g.
through leveraging existing sustainable
initiatives such as ORCID for contributor
identifiers and DataCite for data identifiers.

Quizz: is self-archiving and
publishing the same thing?

Choosing the right medium(s)
to release your research
There are several publicly accessible spaces where
publications can be uploaded and shared, such as
 Zenodo;
 Academia.edu;
 ResearchGate;
 The online repository of your institution
and figshare for open data.
What are their differences? Group work time 
