Open Climate

Gen R on September 3, 2019

— 100% open access publishing for climate change research

An open collaboration between Peter Murray-Rust and GenR with an invitation to the wider open science community. Open Climate text is by GenR editor Simon Worthington.

Question: If climate change related research publishing is at <30% how can it be made 100% open access ASAP?!

Invitation: Get involved, remote participation welcome! eLife are holding an innovation sprint in Cambridge, UK (and online), on 4-5th September 2019, where Peter Murray-Rust is leading a sprint contribution to create an ‘open annotated corpus of open access climate research publishing’.

GenR Notebook Launch

Gen R on July 22, 2019

Notebook

📖 Welcome to the ‘Notebook’ community news from open science & scholarship. On the Notebook you’ll find brief notes, say 140 word long notes, like: meetups, calls, publications, data, mooc classes, webinars, curriculum, cool tools, and announcements from the GenR büro…

Call for contributions!

If you would like to post to the Notebook send in your 140 words (just a guide) or post them up on the pad or DM @Gen_R_. We’ll tag them on Twitter with the hashtag #gnote

If you have other formats — Twitter threads, slides, pictures stories, infographics, etc — all welcome.

Note: each note starts with an emoji, so go grab yourself one from here and copy paste.

Open Science & Climate Change

🌍 The climate index is part of the GenR theme ‘Open Science and Climate Change‘ for which there are two areas of inquiry:

firstly, a low-carbon energy future — technologies and innovations, and;
secondly, climate sciences — monitoring and understanding the environment and the effects of climate change.

Contribute: Add a project, paper, software, data set, call-outs, etc!

Open Science & Climate Change Resources

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

In early autumn 2019 highlights of the Open Science & Climate Change Resources Index will be published on GenR and at a later date an open collaborative paper will follow summarizing the findings of the indexing process.

Open Science and Climate Change: A GenR Theme

Gen R on June 24, 2019

Open Science & Climate Change

Time is of the essence when it comes to climate change and many look to Open Science to speed up research and innovation in response to the challenges faced.

The aim of this special theme, as with other Generation Research special topics, is to find example projects and tools that can inspire researcher and show pathways for implementing Open Science and Scholarship practices.

GenR welcomes contributions, collaboration, and suggestions, as: blogposts, repostings, notices, literature, and as contributions to an open pad ‘A Collaborative Listing: Open Science and Climate Change Resources’.
