🔬 Open Science Scholarship Learning Community: Yearlong Project

🌟 Project Overview

The Open Science in Practice Transformation Project is the experience of the Scholarship Learning Community, where each participant commits to systematically transforming one existing or planned research project to incorporate comprehensive open science principles throughout the entire research lifecycle. This yearlong endeavor serves as both a learning laboratory and a practical application platform, allowing participants to immediately implement each month's training while building toward a complete portfolio of open science practices.

🎯 Central Project Framework

📊 Portfolio Components

Each participant will develop seven interconnected deliverables throughout the academic year:

  1. 📝 Pre-registration or Registered Report - Comprehensive study registration with detailed methodology, analysis plans, and expected outcomes
  2. 💾 FAIR-Compliant Data Management Plan - Complete documentation and sharing strategy following Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable principles
  3. ⚙️ Reproducible Analysis Workflow - Containerized, version-controlled computational pipeline ensuring complete replicability
  4. 📄 Transparent Documentation - Methods and results following established reporting standards with complete transparency
  5. 📚 Open Access Publication Strategy - Strategic plan for preprint dissemination and open access publishing
  6. 🖥️ Containerized Computational Environment - Preserved software environment enabling long-term reproducibility
  7. 🔄 Shared Materials and Protocols - Publicly available research materials, protocols, and code for complete replication
