Open Science Lunch

Each last Thursday of the month at 12:00 we invite you to join us for a lunch seminar to hear about how to make your research more open. We will discuss research transparency and visibility, open publishing, data sharing, and more!

The seminar series is a collaboration between BOTT Universities in Norway: University of Bergen, University of Oslo, Norwegian University of Science and Technology and UiT The Arctic University of Norway.

Practices and guidance at NTNU

Practices and guidance at NTNU

All NTNU publications must be archived in NTNU Open to ensure open access, as stated in the Policy for Open Science.

All publications that are uploaded to Cristin will be accessible in NTNU Open and thus comply to the open access requirements.

See what agreements for Open Access publishing at NTNU cover. Information about publication funding arrangements.

 

Publishing at NTNU

 

Research data at NTNU should be managed according to best practice and be as open as possible and as closed as necessary. Data containing personal information must be processed according to GDPR and NTNU guidelines.

All research projects at NTNU should develop a Data Management Plan describing how the research data will be managed.

Research data at NTNU can be published and shared openly in our repository for research data, NTNU Open Research Data.

Research Data at NTNU

Source code and software developed in research projects and other academic activities, should be included as a part of published research results.

Together with publication of research data, this facilitates testing and validation of analyses and models, and enables reuse and further development of the code or software.

Many aspects of best practice for research data management are applicable to source code. This includes versioning, documentation and metadata ensuring research output that is as FAIR, open and reproducible as possible. Nevertheless, there are some considerations and practicalities that are specific for source code, including licensing.

Open source at NTNU

 

 

To store and share digital learning resources, NTNU offers a cloud-based service that makes it easy to use the same learning resources in several places, across subjects, programs, systems and institutions. The system used is DLR and is provided by Sikt. 

Sharing digital learning resources

 

 

 

Open science concerns the entire research cycle, from pre-registration via open methods and analysis to open access and peer review, for example:
