Completed NASA’s Open Science 101 Course NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration
“Transform to Open Science (TOPS) is a NASA initiative designed to rapidly transform agencies, organizations, and communities to an #inclusiveculture of open science. TOPS is part of NASA’s Open-Source Science Initiative.
NASA’s TOPS initiative will allow us to create a scientific culture that is ready for 21st century challenges.
Overview of the Modules:
OS101 Module 1: The Ethos of Open Science
#OpenScience is the principle and practice of making research products and processes available to all, while respecting diverse cultures, maintaining #security and #privacy, and fostering collaborations, #reproducibility, and #equity.
OS101 Module 2: Open Tools And Resources
The bridge between the concepts and the practice of the concepts is something called the use, make, share framework. There are many methods and models that define how to get started with open science. The use, make, share framework was constructed to help you immediately assign purpose to the concepts and tools.
OS101 Module 3: Open Data
It provides a ‘how to’ process for finding and assessing open data for use, for making open data and for sharing #opendata. The step-by-step flows are easy to follow and can be used as checklists after you complete the module. Some of the key topics discussed include: #datamanagement plans, the process for assessing data for reuse, creating a plan for making data including choosing open formats and adding documentation, and the considerations for sharing data and making your data citable.
OS101 Module 4: Open Code
It provides a ‘how to’ process that follows the code development lifecycle and “Use, Make, Share” framework. Some of the key topics discussed include: benefits and limitations of #opencode, how to discover and assess code, considerations and methods for programming following open principles, and finally when and how to share your code.
OS101 Module 5: Open Results
It starts out with a use case of open science in action, then a review of how to discover and assess open results. Next, the focus is on how to publish results which includes a task checklist. The module wraps up with specific guidance for writing the sharing results section of the Open Science and Data Management Plans (OSDMP). We will also reflect on how our society and technology are constantly evolving in the way we do science.”
