In recent years empirical disciplines have been experiencing ongoing methodological reorientation toward more transparency and open research practices. As a consequence, a series of methods were proposed to increase scientific integrity. Open science practices include preregistration, replication research, publishing open access, and sharing data, research material and code.
The Open Science Community Amsterdam is part of the larger open science community network in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. Open science communities are an initiative to create a platform for researchers and students from all faculties and academic levels to subscribe to the open science philosophy, talk and learn about open science practices, and get concrete advice and help on how to apply them in their research projects.
The Open Science Community offers advise on open science related questions for students and researchers from all faculties. Occasionally, we will be organizing events such as Open Science Cafes which aim to share experiences and knowledge, and to connect with other Open Science Communities.
Office Hours and Contact
During our consulting times we provide researchers with advice on the preregistration of experiments, data storage and sharing, and workflow. We are open to students and researchers at all levels.
We are open on Thursdays between 10.00 an 12.00. You can come and see us anytime during opening hours without appointment. Our office is located at Roeterseiland Campus of the University of Amsterdam, building G, room REC-G 0.30.
You can also contact us via email at openscience.amsterdam@gmail.com.
Join the OSC Amsterdam
We encourage members from all faculties of the UvA to join the Open Science Community Amsterdam. As a member of the Open Science Community you will be listed on our website with your name, email address and the faculty that you are associated with. This makes it easy for students and fellow researchers within your department to contact you for questions related to open research practices.
