Workshop: Einführung in Open Science und Prä-Registrierung
Open Science is becoming increasingly important across scientific disciplines. This two-part workshop introduces participants to the core principles of Open Science and preregistration, including reproducibility, questionable research practices, and transparent research methods. In a practical hands-on session, participants will also learn how to create a preregistration using the Open Science Framework (OSF).

Kursbeschreibung
Open Science has become increasingly important across many scientific disciplines. In some academic appointment procedures, a strong orientation toward Open Science is now even considered a desirable qualification for professorships. But what exactly does Open Science mean, and what are its core principles? What are questionable research practices, and how can preregistration help to document transparent and methodologically sound research?
These questions will be addressed during the first session of this two-part workshop. The second session focuses on different forms and structures of preregistration as well as a hands-on preregistration exercise using the Open Science Framework (OSF). Finally, participants will discuss the opportunities and limitations of preregistration. This workshop is intended for students and researchers from all disciplines who would like to learn more about Open Science and establish preregistration as a natural part of their research process.
