This session explores the importance of reproducibility in research and how 4TU.ResearchData supports researchers in making their work more transparent and trustworthy. We’ll reflect on how 4TU.ResearchData piloted the facilitation of reproducibility checks within the CODECHECK initiative. Join us for a short presentation and open discussion on the value of checking code—and how it might fit into your own research workflow.
When: 20 May 12:30-13:30
Location: TU Campus, Pendulum room 0.36
Studies in scientific literature often suffer from systematic biases toward statistically significant findings. Two of the most common sources of such bias are selective reporting and publication bias, both of which can lead to misleading scientific claims. To address these issues, Preregistration and Registered Reports have emerged as tools that aim to counteract such bias and allow peers to transparently evaluate the severity of claims made in published studies. At the same time, replication studies have become increasingly important for testing the robustness of published findings and correcting scientific literature where necessary. Conducting a replication study is not merely a methodological exercise–it is a form of scientific scrutiny. Because it challenges or increases our confidence in previous work, it carries a heightened responsibility to be conducted with rigor and transparency. In this workshop, we will discuss how Preregistration and Registered Reports can strengthen replication efforts by minimizing bias, increasing credibility and supporting the publication of replications. Participants will also receive practical guidance on how to preregister their replication studies in a way that maximizes transparency and scientific value.

OpenML is a platform that democratizes machine learning by facilitating open science in machine learning research. While the platform is founded in the Netherlands and hosted in Eindhoven, its development is an international effort of voluntary contributors. In this talk Pieter will give a brief introduction to OpenML but also share his experience as a long-time contributor to the platform, answering questions such as “How does OpenML organize itself?” or “How can you combine contributions with doing research?”.

The use and sharing of real data presents several challenges, including privacy risks, confidentiality concerns, access limitations. Even when available, it may not be fit for purpose. Synthetic data offers a powerful alternative. In this session, we’ll explore the latest advancements in synthetic data and introduce BlueGen.ai, a tool for generating high-quality synthetic datasets. We'll discuss how to create, evaluate, and apply synthetic data effectively.

Led by Nami Sunami, Data Steward at TU/e
Interested in making your thesis open & reproducible? I went into the rabbit hole, so you don’t have to. I will share my experience of writing my PhD thesis, using GitHub, R, and Docker. No prior experience of these tools is needed. I will also discuss the challenges that I had when I revisited my code base after 4 years, how I fixed them, and how I would do things differently if I were starting from scratch.

4 April 2023
During this hands-on event, you will have a chance to get familiar with the new 4TU.ResearchData repository by using your own data.
You will also be able to exchange ideas and experiences with fellow researchers and learn about the latest developments in research data management.
Lunch and drinks will be provided, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm and ideas!
15 December 2022
Join a Community Networking event with drinks and snacks where we can discuss how we can incorporate open science principles into our daily lives as researchers. The idea is simple: to get to know your peers after a long period of online meetups and have discussions about open science over drinks and snacks.
Register as an attendant and/or submit your pitch before 8 December!

Preregistration is the practice of documenting your research plan at the beginning of your study and storing that plan in a read-only public repository. But: are there drawbacks to preregistering your study? Let’s discuss it during this OSC/e lunch meetup.

This event is postponed until November
The Publishing Trap is an open-source board game that allows participants to explore the impact of scholarly communications choices and discuss the role of open access in research by following the lives of four researchers – from doctoral research to their academic legacies. The game is designed to be played by up to 4 teams with around 4 people per team. During the game, we will also have a drink and a borrel together.

Peer review is one method of quality control in scientific publishing. A topic of discussion in the open science community is open peer review, where the peer review reports are shared alongside the published article. As a reviewer, you often have the possibility of signing your review, to disclose your identity to the authors. In this meeting, together with Daniel Lakens, we will share experiences with signed vs anonymous reviews, discuss positive and negative consequences of signing reviews, with the goal to allow researchers to make an informed discussion about whether or not, or when and when not, to sign open peer reviews.

Design Research is going through a phase of digital transformation: in our research, we increasingly rely on data collected from remote contexts, engage in data-enabled (co-)design, and work with data-intensive tools and methods. Data Foundry was developed in the last 2-3 years to build a basis for such practices at the department level, to allow students and researchers to easily collect data from a variety of sources for analysis, visualization, sharing, and prototyping with data.
18 January 2022
The goal of reproducible data analysis is to document and communicate your analysis so that others can easily follow your steps and replicate its results. We will discuss software environments, version controls, and software documentation. In the end, we will share ideas on how to make the research community more aware of the importance of code reproducibility.

Notebooks have received an increasing amount of attention in the past few years as they provide an interface where code, data, and narrative can meet. By combining these elements in one document, they help in documenting and communicating your analyses. In this talk, I'll give a brief introduction to Jupyter and also touch on more intermediate/advanced uses. We'll go over and discuss the features, advantages and disadvantages of the Jupyter environment (and notebooks in general). In the end, I hope that those who were not yet familiar with Jupyter will take it for a spin to see if it fits their needs, and those that were already familiar pick up a few tips and tricks.
On 28 June 2021 Open Science Community Eindhoven (OSC/e) will organize the first kick-off event after a long break. During this meetup, we will talk about the idea behind Open Science Communities, what Open Science practices are and the challenges that researchers face when engaging with these practices.
On Thursday, 28 February 2019, experts from various fields/departments at TU/e talked about the data they collect as part of their research, how they process it with software, how they share the data and code internally and externally, and the challenges they encounter during this process.

Open Science Community Eindhoven (OSC/e) is looking for new members. With assistant professor Pavlo Bazilinskyy at the helm and with the support of the university library, OSC/e is ready for a new series of meetings centered around open science. The aim is to share tips and to engage in discussions, says Kristina Korshunova, who is involved on behalf of the library. She stresses that everyone is welcome to join, including critics. “We aren’t a community of ‘believers.’”

“We will bring more balance to the appraisal of academics, valuing them for their talents and ambitions in the fields of research, education, impact and leadership," says rector Frank Baaijens in an article that was published today on the homepage of TU/e. The number of scientific publications, citations or the grants that someone has secured will no longer be the only determining factor for their appraisal as a scientist, Baaijens says. "Excellence, in education and research, as well as in additional areas will continue to be the aim of our university's academic personnel."

Stephan Heunis, PhD candidate at Electrical Engineering, received an award during the online Open Science Festival, which took place on Thursday afternoon, for his efforts to promote ‘open science.’ The South African is the driving force behind the Open Science Community Eindhoven and founder of OpenMR Benelux, an initiative aimed at sharing knowledge within his own discipline, brain ‘imaging’ with MRI.
