Inspirirani sjajnim odazivom na nedavnu razmjenu knjiga, odlučili smo pokrenuti nešto što već dugo priželjkujemo – čitateljski klub IRB-a. Odlučni stvoriti prostor gdje ljubav prema čitanju susreće razgovor, zajedništvo i slobodu izražavanja, povratno smo odmah dobili dobre vijesti: prvi susret je uspješno održan i nadmašio sva naša očekivanja!
Nakon dvije teške, ali važne teme, prebacujemo se na nešto laganije. Sljedeći naslov je Klub čitatelja Pavla Pavličića.
U ožujku smo pročitali roman Sigurna kuća hrvatske autorice Marine Vujčić.
Nova godina ponovo nam donosi nove aktivnosti! S ponosom najavljujemo prvu Zimsku školu otvorene znanosti, koja će se održati na Institutu Ruđer Bošković od 10. do 14. veljače 2025. godine. Sudjelovanje je prvenstveno namijenjeno djelatnicima IRB-a i potpuno je besplatno.
Potreba zajednice za jednostavnijom i automatiziranom razmjenom znanstvenih informacija putem online alata i usluga za upravljanje istraživačkim podacima nikada nije bila veća. Platforme za izradu planova upravljanja podacima (engl. Data Management Plans, DMP) već godinama osluškuju potrebe zajednice, razvijajući usluge i alate koji podržavaju najbolje prakse u svim fazama životnog ciklusa istraživačkih podataka, potičući kulturne promjene i inovacije.
OSTrails (Open Science Plan-Track-Assess Pathways) is a three-year project under the Horizon Europe program aimed at establishing the implementation of FAIR assessment and machine feasibility in the European Open Science Cloud by enhancing and connecting the processes and tools for planning, tracking, and evaluating scientific research.
Documents such as Data Management Plans (DMPs) play a crucial role in research, supporting researchers in adhering to best practices in research processes. While DMPs are of paramount importance, their assessment in a broader context poses a challenge, prompting a focus on their FAIRification (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) and integration into scientific knowledge graphs. Expanding research evaluation beyond scientific publications presents many obstacles, including interoperability and semantic and syntactic heterogeneity in scientific knowledge graphs, as well as challenges in interpreting and implementing FAIR principles when extending them to other digital objects.
The OSTrails project proactively addresses these barriers through a collaborative approach and provides practical solutions at three levels:
The methods, tools, services, guidelines, and training resulting from the project will be presented as integral parts of solutions for researchers and research support in achieving FAIR principles at any stage of the research lifecycle for any digital object, intended for institutions funding and/or conducting research and publishers to enhance data management quality for every jointly funded and published research output.
OSTrails aims to reduce barriers in planning and implementing FAIR research, encouraging a transition from FAIR principle evaluation to supportive practices and improving research tracking and evaluation through more connected scientific work. The project is based on alignment with Research Data Alliance (RDA) interoperability frameworks, setting ambitious goals for improving the implementation of FAIR principles in the context of various digital objects, such as publications, data, software, workflows, methods, protocols, machine-actionable data management plans, and educational materials. The focus is also on developing discipline-specific metrics within a flexible model and defining minimum standards for aligning a specific type of processed digital object with FAIR principles. All activities within the OSTrails project represent significant steps towards achieving FAIR principles in European scientific research, enabling better planning, tracking, and evaluation of scientific knowledge with a focus on data transparency, interoperability, and reusability.
The OSTrails project is coordinated by OpenAIRE, and its consortium consists of 38 partners, with 24 of them (including RBI) conducting national or thematic pilots aimed at improving the organization and accessibility of research data at the national and/or thematic infrastructure level. You can find the complete list of partner institutions at the following link: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101130187.
The project began with an initial consortium meeting held in Athens on February 5th and 6th, 2024, and it lasts for 36 months, until January 31st, 2027.
Another project from the Horizon Europe program started this February, in which one of the partners is the Centre for Scientific Information of the Ruđer Bošković Institute – OSTrails (Open Science Plan-Track-Assess Pathways). This three-year project aims to establish the implementation of FAIR assessment and machine feasibility in the European Open Science Cloud by enhancing and connecting processes and tools for planning, tracking, and evaluating scientific research.
Projekt PATTERN, financiran unutar okvira programa Obzor Europa u kojem sudjeluje i Institut Ruđer Bošković, završio je s aktivnostima u prvoj godini. Glavni cilj ovog projekta je promicanje uključujućih i održivih praksi otvorenog i odgovornog istraživanja i inovacija (engl. Open Responsible Research and Innovation - OpenRRI), a teme koje pokriva obuhvaćaju osam ključnih prenosivih vještina u područjima otvorene znanosti, FAIR upravljanja podacima, građanske znanosti, istraživačkog integriteta, radne ravnopravnosti, nediskriminacije i uključivosti u istraživanjima, diseminacije i iskorištavanja rezultata projekata, te upravljanju i vodstvu.
The first PUBMET conference was held in 2014 with the theme "The Plurality of Approaches to the Scholarly Publishign and Assessment". In the last decade, the conference expanded its focus beyond traditional publishing, recognizing the importance of open science and a broader spectrum of scientific communication. Under a new name, "Scholarly Communication in the Context of Open Science", PUBMET has become a platform for exchanging ideas, research, and collaboration, hosting exceptional speakers and experts over the years.
