Open Scholarship Café: Open Science Practices for Early Career Researchers - How can they help me?

Open Science (sometimes called Open Research or Open Scholarship) is about making scientific research and data available to people at all levels of society. Many early career researchers (ECRs) might want to make the outputs of their research more openly available, but are unsure of where to start. In addition, ECRs may face additional barriers such as limited access to Open Science training opportunities and resources.

The purpose of this seminar is:

• To provide ECRs with an introduction to Open Science practices

• To demonstrate how ECRs can start embedding open science practices into their research straight away

• To showcase the value of engaging with Open Science for professional development.

We will hear from Hardy Schwamm, Open Scholarship Librarian at University of Galway, and Rory Coyne, a PhD student in the School of Psychology, who will offer some personal reflection on how incorporating Open Science practices into his research has advanced his career progression and development as an ECR.
