OSR Table Talk: Recommended Practices in Open Science

Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre 

The open science movement, driven by a collective recognition of the need for transparency and reproducibility in scientific research, has gained momentum in recent years across multiple disciplines. As neuroscience and neuroimaging research continue to evolve, it is essential to equip the next generation of researchers with the skills necessary to embrace these practices. This Round Table is especially timely, given the increasing mandates from institutions and funding agencies for open data sharing and collaborative research initiatives. Addressing this topic now offers an opportunity to guide trainees in adopting open science methodologies early in their careers, and to foster a culture of openness and collaboration that will benefit the field as a whole. Participants are expected to gain a deeper understanding of open science principles, practical strategies for implementation, and the value of a supportive community committed to advancing neuroscience and neuroimaging through transparency and accessibility.

1. Participants will be able to gain insights into the key principles of open science and their relevance to neuroscience and neuroimaging research.
2. Participants will learn practical strategies for effectively sharing data and research findings in alignment with open science practices.
3. Participants will have the opportunity to identify potential challenges in adopting open science methodologies and explore collaborative solutions to overcome these barriers through group discussion. 

Within the Open Science Room (OSR) we aim to welcome a diverse spectrum of existing members and newcomers into the OHBM open science community and provide a starting point for researchers at the early or intermediate stages of their open science journey. Everyone is encouraged to partake in the discussion.
