Notes
Mission Statement
- OSWG Mission Statement drafted by Johannes was jointly revised and agreed upon:
OSWG Mission Statement (Final Draft)
We are committed to opening knowledge as key for collaboration and societal progress. We connect people in order to foster access, reuse, and transparency of research pursuit.
As a community, we:
Engage people interested in Open Science by hosting events and workshops.
Explore and co-create Open Science practices at Freie Universität Berlin.
Advocate for Open Science with local and international stakeholders.
Drafting an Open Publication Strategy
- Insights from the Human-Centered Computing Research Group (Claudia and Michael)
- Example: Working Papers SFB "Episteme in Bewegung": http://www.sfb-episteme.de/_media/Working-Papers/Merkblatt-Open-Access-SFB-980.pdf
- Open Access Publishing, Self-Archiving,...d Post-Prints (DRAFT) - HCC - HCC Home.pdf
- Obstacles of the process with Refubium
- wtf "contract"? - won't to be involved into formal processes
- google sitemap updates not frequent enough
- papers are hardly found if they are uploaded only to Refubium
- upload to researchgate are questioned hence its a commercial service (don't know whats in 10 years with our data?), but data is immediately on google
- Comments:
- visual (or decision matrix) of the policy might be helpful to follow
- gitlab instance of HCC involves Mattermost (Slack alternative)
Website of the OSWG
- Agnieszka & Joachim will be responsible for managing the OSWG website (www.fu-berlin.de/sites/open-science/).
- Group members add content for the website in wiki at: Webseite

- Claudia and Christina - appointment with the President on Sept. 9 to discuss the possible shape of the event.
Organizational Meeting

Further issues
- DFG: New Guidelines for Gute Wissenschaftliche Praxis - can we use those for promoting Open Science?
- not at the moment
Proposition Claudia: Would be the term Community of Practice not be more suitable for us?
- From Wikipedia: "A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a craft or a profession. [...] A CoP can evolve naturally because of the members' common interest in a particular domain or area, or it can be created deliberately with the goal of gaining knowledge related to a specific field. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop personally and professionally (Lave & Wenger 1991)."
OSWG Mission Statement (First Draft)
Co-creating open practices at Freie Universität Berlin
We believe in accessible knowledge as key for collaboration and cultural progress. While connecting communities of practice beyond organizational barriers, we allow an regular discourse of excellence about the frames that foster access, reuse, and transparency of scientific output. It is our mission to explore the foundations of Open Science at Freie Universität Berlin - and to advocate them to the university's administration.
Therefore we:
Connect all people interested in Open Science at Freie Universität by organizing Talks, Events, and Workshops.
Take an active part in the dialogue on Open Science by joining local and international events.
Gather best practices that make future policies sustainable by building up an interactive body of helpful tools and guidelines.
