Training Resources #

These resources aim to equip researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to use Open Science tools effectively.

Workshops and Webinars

• Training workshops on using OSF, and other platforms. These sessions cover how to set up a project, share data, pre-register studies, and collaborate using these tools.
• Workshops hosted by external Open Science experts at ICArEHB, focusing on emerging practices and new tools in the Open Science landscape. Check the following links for our 2024 Workshop Introduction to Open Science by Dr. Ben Marwick:
  • Day 1
  • Day 2
  • Day 3

Online Tutorials and Guides

• OSF Support: Offers tutorials, FAQs, and guides on setting up projects, sharing data, and integrating OSF with other tools.
• Protocols.io Tutorials: Provides step-by-step guides for uploading, sharing, and updating protocols, as well as tips for ensuring reproducibility.
• GitHub Documentation: Comprehensive documentation and tutorials on using GitHub for version control
• Zenodo Documentation: Comprehensive documentation and tutorials on using Zenodo for archiving and sharing research outputs.
• Journal of Archaeological Science guidelines on reproducibility: Brief guidance on preparing submissions for a reproducibility review.

Peer Support and Mentorship

• ICArEHB encourages the development of peer support groups, where experienced researchers can mentor colleagues in Open Science practices. These groups provide hands-on guidance and troubleshooting for using OSF, Protocols.io, and other platforms.

External Resources

• Access to external training programs such as FOSTER (Facilitate Open Science Training for European Research), which offers free e-learning courses and training on a wide range of Open Science topics.
