Around the research alliance and it’s partners Digital Salon at TIB At the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology, the Digital Salon (Link in German) is entering its second round. In lectures and discussions, the question will be examined of how scientific work can be successful and more effective in an increasingly […]
Discussion paper: New indicators for Open Science and Open Innovation
Established indicators for research and innovation processes do not sufficiently capture the nuances of open science and open innovation. As a result, their opportunities and risks often remain obscure. A new discussion paper therefore makes proposals for the expansion of existing indicators and the development of new ones. We looked at possible innovations in the field of open science.
Discussion paper: New indicators for Open Science and Open Innovation
by Birgit Fingerle In order to better identify the opportunities and risks of open science and open innovation, including those that relate to research and technology policy, a fundamental reconsidering of the recording, analysis and evaluation of the practices and structures of open science and open innovation should take place. The discussion paper “Open Science and Open Innovation – New Indicators for the Analysis of the Science and Innovation System in the Digital Age” (“Open Science und Open Innovation – Neue Indikatoren für die Analyse des Wissenschafts- und Innovationssystems im digitalen Zeitalter”, link in German language) by Clemens Blümel, published […]

Improving (Meta)Data Standards for Atmospheric Models – the AtMoDat Project
The newly launched AtMoDat project is carrying out research to enable data used in Atmospheric Models for Climate Research to be open and usable by the wide array of smaller modeling project and urban climate model research. The research will make use of DataCite DOIs and metadata schema, acting as extension to the schema while being supported by AtMoDat partner data infrastructure service providers
The post Improving (Meta)Data Standards for Atmospheric Models – the AtMoDat Project appeared first on Generation R.
Blockchain: How it could make research more open and transparent
by Birgit Fingerle The study “Blockchain in Higher Education – Fundamentals – Potentials – Boundaries” (Study in German language „Blockchain in der Hochschulbildung – Grundlagen – Potenziale – Grenzen“) of the Stifterverband was compiled on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, and published in July 2019. It continues the EU study published at the end of 2017 “Blockchain in Education” focussing on the German higher education system. The individual chapters explore the technological and design fundamentals of blockchain technology and the technical, economic and societal added values of its use, such as its potential contribution to lowering […]
Blockchain: How it could make research more open and transparent
Blockchains are credited with bringing great benefits for economics and society. This also applies to the higher education sector. A recently published study explores blockchain in higher education. We took a closer look at which application scenarios seem to be particularly interesting in relation to promoting open science.
Open science infiltrates the engine room of research: ZBW panel at the German Economic Association annual conference 2019
The annual conference of the specialist economics association “Verein für Socialpolitik” took place this year from 22. – 25. September 2019 at the University of Leipzig. Under the conference theme “30 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall” close to 800 researchers came together to discuss the economic effects of German unity as well as a whole host of other specialist themes.
Open science infiltrates the engine room of research: ZBW panel at the German Economic Association annual conference 2019
by Olaf Siegert The ZBW was also represented in the conference programme at this year’s annual conference of the German Economic Association (22 – 25 September 2019 at the University of Leipzig), specifically with a panel on the topic of “Open Science as a leitmotif for economics?”. The panel discussion was chaired by Willi Scholz as chair of the theme Open Science, in its various facets, accompanied by four representatives of the research community: Ulrich Fritsche ( University of Hamburg), among other roles co-editor of the open access, open peer review journal Economics Joachim Gassen (Humboldt University of Berlin), among […]
Guidelines: Electronic Lab Notebooks in Research Data Management
An electronic lab notebook ideally represents one component within an entire system of tools for research data management and is able to drive forward open science via the transparent documentation of experiments and the publication of data. What examples of best practice are there? And what needs to be taken into account when introducing them? An ELN Guide, recently published by ZB MED, gives comprehensive support.
