Abstract: The importance of openness and reproducibility in science has greatly increased in recent years. Many funders and publishers now require - or will soon require - the open availability of research data and other research products. Open Science Framework (OSF) is an online platform that facilitates collaboration and helps you to make your research FAIR and open, allowing you to meet these requirements. Use of OSF is free to all researchers, and MagLab faculty and staff can take advantage of additional features thanks to our institutional membership. Join us for a workshop hosted by the Center for Open Science to learn how to use OSF to meet data sharing requirements and improve the openness, transparency, and reproducibility of your research.

2021 FAIR Data User Workshop

Overview

This virtual 2021 User Workshop on October 12, 2021 featured talks from FAIR Data experts across scientific fields. Speakers shared their best practices for ensuring scientific data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable to advance far-reaching goals and build a more equitable STEM ecosystem.

Over the last few years, researchers, institutions and funding organizations have begun to embrace the value of ensuring that data is FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable - by adhering to a set of guidelines called the FAIR principles. Among these benefits are:

• Enabling and enhancing reuse of data by humans and machines¹
• Allowing broader access to publication, data, and other research materials and broader circulation of scientific knowledge²
• Greater return on investments in research data ^1,2
• Increased opportunities for replication and expansion of scientific findings¹

Given these benefits, it’s clear that the FAIR principles are set to cause a seismic shift in the way scientists collect, organize, and share their data in the coming years.

To help our users stay ahead of the curve, the MagLab is hosting a virtual user workshop focusing on the FAIR principles and featuring talks from FAIR data experts drawn from the various domains of research conducted at the MagLab. It will be a unique opportunity for MagLab users around the world to learn about the lab's efforts to implement the FAIR principles, provide feedback to guide the lab's implementation, and interface directly with FAIR data experts. We hope to see you there!
