An Introduction to Open Science and Research Data Management

Training Course for PhD Students, composed of four modules. It aims to introduce early-career researchers to scholarly communication and to the principles of Open Science (Open Access to Publications, Open Data, Open Licenses) and Research Data Management. At the end of the course students will have a better understanding of the available research e-infrastructures, tools, and services for Open Access Publication, Research Data Management and FAIR Data. Students will also learn the importance of open science in research, especially to improve science reproducibility and increase research integrity. They will learn how to make research data FAIR, as required by many funders, including the European Commission. Finally, they will have the chance to practice on common tools for Research Data Management, like DMPOnline and Zenodo.
