OS4P part 1, The Ethos of Open Science

Part 2 of the four episode series produced for the course Open Science for Physicists (OS4P). We discuss with our guest, Dr. Niels Marten, who is a philosopher of science at the Freudenthal institute, about the governance and credit structure in big scientific collaborations, and what should students know before joining such a project.

OS4P Part 2, Thriving in Big Collaborations

Audio overview of two articles from the George Washington University Open Source Program Office (OSPO) discussing the current U.S. policies on public access to federally funded research outputs. The first article focuses on the evolution of these policies, highlighting the 2013 Holdren memo and the 2022 Nelson memo, both of which mandate public access to research publications and data. The second article addresses the need to extend open access policies to encompass research software, arguing that open access to software is essential for reproducibility and further research.

Federal Public Access Policies

Part 3 of the four episode series produced for the course Open Science for Physicists (OS4P). We discuss with our guest, Dr. Inge Stegeman, who is a neuro-otologist at the University Medical Center Utrecht, about the advantages and pitfalls of open science practices, and how to investigate if these practices have the positive effects that are claimed by their advocates.

OS4P Part 3, Do Open Science Practices Make Research More Reproducible?

How do we know if Open Science practices can make science more reproducible? In the part 3 of this mini-series, we talk with Inge Stegeman nuero-otologist and associate professor at UMC Utrecht about her research plan to check on the claims of the open science advocates using empirical data and randomized controlled trials.

OS4P part 3, A Critical Look

In the 4th and last part of the OS4P mini-series, Erik van Sebille shares his experience with academic activism and proposes some practical advice on finding the right balance between preserving trust in science and taking a stance on socially-urgent issues based on scientific findings.

OS4P part 4, Public Engagement and Academic Activism

In 2017, the University of Lorraine cancelled its subscription to Springer and in 2023, it cancelled its deal with Wiley. The money saved has been channeled into an Open Science Fund which supports open research infrastructures, training and support programmes for open research, and diamond open access publishing. With additional financing from regional research institutes and the national ministry, its annual budget currently amounts to approximately 500,000 Euros. A broad representative committee has been set up to decide on the use of the fund. In this episode, the Vice-President for Open Research and the Head of Research Support at the Library of the Université de Lorraine explain the Lorraine Model.

#59 The Lorraine Model

In this special episode in English, Laura and Outi will have as a guest professor Gemma Derrick from the University of Bristol. The episode focuses on impactful research ecosystems and Grimpact.

Vau, mikä vaikutus!: What is Grimpact?

Katie Smart served as a research librarian at UiT The Arctic University of Norway from 2022 to 2025. A geologist with research experience from three countries (Canada, Germany, South Africa), Katie's role at UiT was as a specialist in open science services. In this episode, she discusses different local and national services for open science that she has been involved in and emphasizes that marketing open science to academia must include the perspective of the target audience: the researchers. Although open science can be framed benefiting academia and society as a whole, in order to get strong buy-in from academia it must also be framed as to how it will propel each individual’s career.

#61 A realistic researcher’s take on Open Science services

Welcome back, friends! 🎉 You’re tuned into "AI with Shaily," hosted by Shailendra Kumar, your go-to guy for the latest and most intriguing stories from the world of artificial intelligence 🤖✨.

Today’s spotlight is on OpenML, a groundbreaking platform that’s transforming AI research. Imagine a place, created by Jan van Rijn during his Ph.D., that now attracts over 120,000 unique visitors every year 🌍. OpenML is like Wikipedia but for AI—it hosts datasets, machine learning models, and even entire experiments. This means researchers and enthusiasts can easily access, replicate, and build upon existing work without the usual hassle 📊📚.

Jan van Rijn’s vision for OpenML is all about pushing open science forward by making AI research more transparent, accessible, and fair ⚖️. Sharing code and data isn’t as simple as it sounds—different research cultures and extra effort often slow things down. But OpenML is tackling these challenges head-on, promoting collaboration and reuse of resources. This breaks down the silos in science, encouraging a global community of researchers to innovate together instead of reinventing the wheel 🔄🤝.

Shaily shares from personal experience how difficult it used to be to find datasets or reproduce experiments—like chasing ghosts 👻. Platforms like OpenML don’t just make things easier; they build trust and speed up innovation 🚀. The platform’s impact is gaining attention everywhere, from university labs to social media, with advocates pushing for open sharing to become the norm rather than the exception 🌐📢.

For all the aspiring AI enthusiasts out there, here’s a golden tip: contribute your own experiments or datasets to OpenML! Doing so not only helps the community grow but also enhances your own reputation in this collaborative ecosystem 🌟🙌. It’s truly a win-win situation!

Shaily leaves you with a thought-provoking question: How would having open and easily accessible machine learning experiments change your projects or learning journey? 🤔💡 He’s eager to hear your insights and experiences.

To close, here’s a powerful quote from Jan van Rijn: “Open science is not just about openness—it’s a catalyst for fairness, accelerated progress, and collective knowledge.” 📢💬
