CBS Open Science

CBS Open Science is an institute-wide initiative to empower open, transparent, and reproducible research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. We organize regular meetings and workshops for researchers at all career levels to foster open science in their daily work.

The open science movement has been unfolding intensively over the past years to improve the credibility and reproducibility of science. Key domains of open practices include pre-registering studies and ideas, publishing open access, and publicly sharing data and code.

Our mission is to promote these practices at our institute with a forum for knowledge exchange. In regular meetings and workshops we aim to establish open science guidelines by collectively discussing state of the art open science practices, critically evaluating their pros and cons for researchers at the institute, and solving challenges that may arise.

Everyone is welcome to join our monthly meetings and to become part of one of our task forces.

Open Science Initiative Leipzig

The Open Science Initiative Leipzig was founded on November 13, 2017 at the Institute of Psychology, Leipzig University. The aim of our initiative is to exchange information about the advantages and opportunities, but also the perceived barriers, of open science practices in one’s own research. Topics include the pre-registration of studies as well as the publication of data, analysis scripts and materials used. The Open Science Initiative Leipzig plans to inform about the advantages of Open Science in public lectures as well as to develop proposals on how Open Science can be integrated into research and teaching at the Institute of Psychology.

SaxFDM: Forschungsdatenmanagement in Sachsen

Daten sind eine wesentliche Grundlage der Forschung. Der Umgang mit digitalen Forschungsdaten – in ihren vielfältigen Formen, mit der zunehmenden Geschwindigkeit ihrer Erzeugung sowie der Komplexität des Managements und der Analyse – stellt hohe Anforderungen an Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler. Unterstützung und Beratung, aber auch technische Infrastrukturen und Dienste sind dringend notwendig, damit sich die Forschenden auf ihre fachspezifischen Fragestellungen konzentrieren können.

SaxFDM ist eine Initiative sächsischer Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen zur Vernetzung, Kooperation und Koordination gemeinsamer Aktivitäten rund um das Forschungsdatenmanagement. Für die Unterstützung der Forschenden bei ihren vielfältigen Aufgaben im Umgang mit Forschungsdaten werden gemeinsame Dienste und Angebote aufgebaut.

In der monatlichen “Digital Kitchen” von SaxFDM informieren Forschende und FDM-Aktive über die neuesten Entwicklungen und diskutieren gemeinsam mit den Anwesenden am digitalen Küchentisch.
