The African Reproducibility Network (AREN) – Building gateways to Open Science in Africa

The African Reproducibility Network (AREN) – Building gateways to Open Science in Africa

Emmanuel Boakye holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana.

He is an African Open Science champion who has worked with organizations such as the Center for Open Science in the USA and the Association of African Universities (AAU). He was part of the panel of experts invited by the AAU to plan the 2022 Africa Universities’ Day Celebration, dubbed “Open Science: Bringing Equity to Research and Publishing” where he also presented on the “Global and Continental Perspectives of Open Science”.

He currently leads efforts to establish the African Reproducibility Network (AREN), a community-led initiative that seeks to bridge the gaps in open science advocacy and adoption through workshops and the establishment of local communities of practice at universities and research institutes across Africa.

FAIRsharing – A curated resource on data and metadata standards feat. African records.

FAIRsharing – A curated resource on data and metadata standards feat. African records.

This session is part of a series of live webinars, where we discuss how the persistent identifiers ORCID, ROR, and DOI enable interoperability across scholarly digital services while also ensuring the discoverability of research from and about Africa.

The slides are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8406371

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are unique and enduring labels assigned to digital objects, resources, or entities, such as research datasets, academic papers, books, websites, and other item types. In scholarly records, PIDs can also be assigned to individual researchers (ORCID) and research institutions (ROR). This webinar series aims to facilitate African researchers, librarians, and institutions in the adoption of digital tools and persistent identifiers for a significant increase of African research discoverability, globally and to increase efficiency in scholarly workflows. Read more at ⁠https://info.africarxiv.org/events/⁠


About FAIRsharing FAIRsharing is a curated, informative and educational resource on data and metadata standards, inter-related to databases and data policies, across all disciplines. It guides consumers to discover, select and use these resources with confidence, producers to make their resources more discoverable, more widely adopted and cited, and powers third-party tools by providing trustworthy content to promote standards and databases. This presentation will provide an overview of FAIRsharing and how resource developers can get started describing their databases, standards and policies within FAIRsharing. Examples of what you can do with FAIRsharing will focus on the ORCID Registry record as well as records from the countries within Africa. About Allyson Lister

Allyson Lister is the FAIRsharing Content & Community Lead at the University of Oxford. With a background in data standardisation, ontologies, semantic data and integration, she is responsible for FAIRsharing content, as well as for the collaborations with users and outreach across all research domains. Allyson is also an EOSC Future / RDA Domain Ambassador (for standards, databases and policies), and is a co-chair of two RDA working groups.

The Open Research Knowledge Graph - A conversation with Vinodh Ilangovan and Jennifer D'Souza

The Open Research Knowledge Graph - A conversation with Vinodh Ilangovan and Jennifer D'Souza

Vinodh Ilangovan and Jennifer D'Souza work on the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) aiming to describe research papers in a structured manner and make them easier to find and compare. They join Jo on this podcast to give more insight into the tool and their organization.

The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) is a tool designed to make research outputs more discoverable and machine-actionable. The ORKG uses a semantic model to represent information and provides structured descriptions of articles, allowing for easier searching and building upon previous research. The tool is currently in English, but efforts are being made to incorporate other languages. Researchers can sign up for an account and add content to the ORKG, which can then be visualized and cited. The ORKG aims to enhance the quality of human life by improving access to scientific knowledge.

Making science more sustainable in the lab and also across institutes and universities - A conversation with Jan Heidelberger

Making science more sustainable in the lab and also across institutes and universities - A conversation with Jan Heidelberger

Jan Heidelberger works as Scientific Coordinator for the Max Planck School Matter to Life in Heidelberg. During his time as a PhD student, he co-founded the grassroots initiative IMB Green at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Mainz together with colleagues and has since been passionate about implementing sustainable measures in the laboratory and science sector. After joining MPS Matter to Life, he joined the Max Planck Sustainability Network (MPSN) and has been part of the steering committee since June 2021.

Jan joins Jo to talk about the ways of making science more sustainable in the lab and also across institutes and universities.

The Max Planck Sustainability Network (MPSN) now comprises 45 individual sustainability groups at various Max Planck Institutes (MPI). In 2021, the network published the Catalog of Recommendations for Sustainability in the Max Planck Society (https://www.nachhaltigkeitsnetzwerk.mpg.de/doi-2021-care), which contains measures that can be implemented universally at institutes. The network is in exchange with national and international partners to jointly develop ideas and find solutions to make their own work more sustainable and to encourage and support others to do so.
