Who else is going to @SURF research day tomorrow? Let’s chat! I got stickers, too 😁
The Netherlands Reproducibility #Network (NLRN) is a national peer-led consortium with the goal to increase the quality and efficiency of #research in the #Netherlands by coordinating, supporting and strengthening initiatives on #reproducibility and #transparency in all scholarly disciplines. #openscience #metascience #methodology

Contribute to the OSIRIS project by joining their “Funders Study” event on 28 May in Utrecht (10 am to 1 pm)!
You will score open science practices in grant proposals for a mock review process. This is part of a study to find out if interventions targetting reviewers of grant proposals work or not.
Researchers and students interested in open science are invited to participate.
Details and registration can be found here: https://forms.gle/VjWqJ7xue4Tn81x18
#Webinar Announcement!
Preregistration for student assignments
26 June 2025, 13:30 -15 hrs register to get the link:
https://reproducibilitynetwork.nl/event/1289/
Are you an educator and wondering if and how to include #preregistration into student assignments? Then join our webinar and learn from our speakers:
Ewout Meijer from Maastricht University and @ElenLeFoll from the University of Cologne will share their experiences with having students preregister their term papers and theses work.
Introducing ReproducibiliTea’s newest reading list: “Open Research… in the Arts?” curated by Hazel Aileen van der Walle
We explore the boundaries of Open Research expectations with disciplinary context in mind, reshape understandings of ‘data’ outside the sciences, discuss challenges facing empirical and practice-based arts, and dive into some case studies across the field. Check it out at https://rpt-rl.netlify.app/ and broaden your view of Open Research.
TODAY (Monday) 16-17:30 CEST #ReproducibiliTea in the HumaniTeas goes qualitative! ✨ Nathan Dykes (Department of #DigitalHumanities and Social Studies @FAU) will give a 20-min input talk entitled "Beyond the gold standard: Transparency in qualitative corpus analysis", followed by a 60-min open discussion on applying the principles of #OpenScience to qualitative research. 🤓
Everyone is welcome, whether on-site @unibibkoeln (where you can also enjoy a range of teas and snacks) or online via Zoom. Please join our mailing list to receive the Zoom link: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/reproducibilitea-humaniteas (or DM me if you read this after 14:00 CEST). 🫖🍪
Ben je onderzoeker/ondersteuner bij een hogeschool en klinkt "leer hoe je data kunt ordenen en opschonen met behulp van spreadsheets en OpenRefine. Ook leer je de beginselen van statistiek met R" als iets waarmee je de 2 dagen tijdsbesteding snel weer ruimschoots terugverdient? Zet dan 11 en 12 juni (Apeldoorn) in je agenda en geef je op via https://dcc-po.nl/agenda/training-reproduceerbaar-analyseren-voor-po/

New Blogpost!
How can we make #openScience work for #qualitativeResearch?
We attended the #Symposium on Open Science for Qualitative Research and summarized a few key points in our latest #blogpost. Let us know what you think and stay tuned for the forthcoming #webinar with the Dutch-Belgian context #network as well as news on the european initiative on open #science for qualitative #research.

Empty rooms today, vibrant knowledge hub soon!
We explored the University Medical Center Groningen, where the #OSF2025NL will unfold on 24 October.
🔗 https://opensciencefestival.nl/en
The day will be full of interactive sessions, an information market, and plenty of opportunities to mingle and meet with fellow #OpenScience enthusiasts.
📣 Call for submissions for workshops, posters, and info booths opens late May.

Supply and Demand: Sometimes, researchers and #researchSupport don't speak the same language. Researcher's needs remain unmet or are met with solutions that don't fit #research reality.
Help Garrett Speed and colleagues to chart researcher's needs and give your input for their session at @SURF Research Day on 20 May 2025:

@CAX_ Anyone from the Open Science NL steering group might be interesting. Or colleagues from CWTS (Ludo Waltman, Sarah de Rijcke, Thed van Leeuwen), you could also approach the Rathenau Institute. Or check our advisory board, many people from that list might be able to speak about the Amsterdam Declaration. DId you reach out to Open Science Communities NL yet?
Mark your agendas and save the date: Our annual symposium will be on 19 January 2026 in Leiden!
We are looking forward to our third symposium. Following successful days in Amsterdam and Groningen, we will meet in Leiden for a day filled with presentations, workshops and networking opportunities.
🎙️"#Reproducibility should be a key factor in all your #research, in all your projects. It costs time, but it's also shifting the time, and in the end it can save time again."
🎧Listen to the latest episode of our #OpenScience Bites podcast with Michiel de Boer of the @Dutch_Reproducibility_Network
🔗 https://www.rug.nl/research/openscience/podcast/#de-boer
⏳Open Science Bites is a series of short #podcast episodes - each around 10 minutes long - focusing on one specific open science practice.
The University for #HumanisticStudies/ UvH joins the NLRN as an institutional member!
At the NLRN, we want to make a range of epistemic voices heard in the discussion around #reproducibility and #replicability of #science and #scholarship. With their research portofolio focusing on #worldviews and humane societies, the UvH complements the voices of the other, more technical and generalistic institutions TU Delft, TU/e, RUG and escience Center.

Discussions about #OpenScience and #Reproducibility are better when a range of epistemic voices are heard.
Are you interested in openness and transparency for #qualitativeResearch methods? Then quickly sign-up for the first meeting of the European Open Qualitative #Research #Community!

4TU Research Data joined the NLRN as stakeholder member. We are happy to welcome the data repository of the 4 Technical Universities #TUDelft, @TUEindhoven #UniversityTwente and #WageningenUniversity to our network.
Stakeholder members are organisations that are relevant for enhancing the adoption of #reproducibleWorkflows but don't conduct research themselves. These include #dataRepositories, #research funding bodies or network organisations of #dataStewards.
We are happy to share that @TUEindhoven supports the mission and vision of the NLRN, joining the network as fourth institutional member.
Liz Gutman Ramirez will serve as the Node Lead. Welcome aboard!
Institutional members are research performing organisations where the head of research or rector has signed the NLRN's mission. The other institutional member are #tudelft, RUG and the @eScienceCenter center.

"#Reproducibility isn’t just about repeating results, it’s about making the research process transparent, so others can follow the path you took and understand how you got there."
🎧 We are preparing new episodes for our #OpenScience Bites #podcast.
We talked to Sarahanne Field, Assistant Professor at our university, and we are very much looking forward to this episode!
