Course Catalogue

This interactive workshop introduces participants to the principles, practices, and promises of the Open Science movement. Using real-world examples—from open data and open code to transparent peer review and open access publishing—we explore how Open Science enhances transparency, collaboration, and reproducibility in research. You will engage in discussions on current open science initiatives within management research and beyond, reflecting on how openness can transform your own research practices. Delivered fully online, the workshop combines an engaging mix of short expert-led presentations, interactive polls, and live discussions, where participants collaborate to tackle real-world open science challenges, share experiences, and develop actionable strategies for applying open science practices in your own doctoral research.

Learning outcomes
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
1. Explain the core principles of Open Science and how they contribute to transparency, accessibility, and reproducibility in research.
2. Identify opportunities to apply open science practices (e.g., open data, preprints, open peer review) within your own field or institution.
3. Critically evaluate the challenges and ethical considerations involved in sharing data, code, and methods in the social sciences and management research.
