The Centre for Digital Scholarship at Leiden University Libraries supports researchers at Universiteit Leiden with Open Access, Research Data Management, use of Digital Data and Copyright.
While I (co-)maintain the OpenRefine for Social Sciences lesson for @thecarpentries, I will be teaching a 2 hour OpenRefine workshop based on #TheProgrammingHistorian's https://doi.org/10.46430/phen0023 in Leiden on 23 June.
See https://www.staff.universiteitleiden.nl/events/2025/06/openrefine for registration info.
It is the first event in the @CDSLeiden Summer Training Week: https://www.staff.universiteitleiden.nl/events/2025/06/summer-training-week
Datasets are increasingly deposited and published by Leiden University researchers. But where do they do this and how can we find out?
Korina Lemonidou researched this question during her internship at the Leiden University Libraries’ Centre for Digital Scholarship and the CWTS.

👻🎃 Happy Halloween! The GHOST collective is back! This year we created our own Cards Against Humanity game with @VUamsterdam, @uva_amsterdam, @CDSLeiden and @TilburgU. If you can't get your hands on a paper version, play the online version here! https://github.com/ubvu/OpenScienceAgainstHumanity#playing-online
The theme of International Open Access Week is "Community Over Commercialisation" so it's a moment to remind that there's a newly published manifesto working to define the notion of Community at the University: https://www.digitalscholarshipleiden.nl/articles/on-oa-weeks-theme-community
Zijn er collega's van de @universiteitleiden hier aanwezig? Zo ja: heb je een mening over #OpenScience en wat in Leiden prioriteit zou moeten hebben? Deel deze in een super korte enquete: https://leidenuniv.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0TEuDEHB8J8sKBo
There is a lot of interest to better understand the role of professional support staff in research, but also a pressing need to recognise and reward their work.
