Generation Research is putting together two collaborative indexes to help researchers in developing their community science practice.

The first listing is for FOSS tools and services, for example covering areas like: crowdsourcing, collaborative working, or data science tools.
The second is a list of projects to demonstrate good practice in what can be achieved when engaging more with the public, with an emphasis of showing the different types of spaces and event formats that can be created: environmental monitoring, book sprints and dashes, or DIY universities.

Join us over at the open spreadsheet on the CryptPad platform and add items or leave a comment.

In early June 2019 highlights of the Community Science Index will be published on GenR and at a later date an open collaborative paper will follow summarizing the findings of the indexing process.

Post-Digital Community Science

**A Generation Research theme: April/May 2019**

Invitation to contribute!

The theme will start in mid April 2019 and over the course of six weeks GenR will look to offer up examples of cutting edge work in the field from across Europe.

If you would like to make a contribution please drop the editor-in-chief Simon Worthington a line at simon@genr.eu or DM @gen_r_ on Twitter.

In this Generation Research theme the idea is to look at how the general public can participate in the research process and the creation of knowledge as Community Science and how this is reinvigorating a culture of scholarship and science in society at large.

Citizen Science is booming around the world but the degree to which it is open varies greatly, as does formal support for Citizen Science across disciplines, organizations and countries.

We would like to find out what you would like to see happen for ‘community building’ from the Research Alliance Open Science (not that GenR speaks directly for the Alliance), for your individual community, too further the ‘open movement’, or for ‘science done right’?:

The motivation behind the work is to help students and researchers in higher education with their study practice by providing them with the best free and open source — tools and services — from the Open Science community.

This is a collaborative work, please contribute!

All contributors will be listed in the blogpost and journal article.

This document is live and on the web. A ‘finished’ blogpost will be published on GenR on February 18th and following that date a further ‘academic article’ will be made and submitted to an appropriate journal.

Integrating Open Science Learning into Higher Education: A GenR Theme – Jan/Feb ’19

on January 16, 2019

Open Science Learning

The Open Science learning theme will take two approaches to the question of how to integrate Open Science practices into higher education. The first, will be to examine ways for students to get on board — using Open Science methods, using open source tools, or being made aware of how to get ‘more’ credit and attribution. The second approach, being about trends and innovations in ways of teaching, for example ‘The Carpentries’ an open peer-learning network for data, software, and library skills with the formula of being ‘welcoming’ and making good use of the wealth of teaching methods available.
