Ist Skype-Meeting (01.10.2019, 11 AM)
Agenda
- Introduction: Who are we, what are our topics, what do we want to do in this project?
- Article structure: What could be a good structure for the article? What is the main aim and research question? Where do we want to submit is (length)?
- Expansion of selection of articles: There were some suggestions about this issue. My idea is, that we have a look at the keywords of the articles I already found and create a new search with all the new search strings. Than we have to decide first which database we want to use and second if we still want to use the “qualitative way” in forward and backward searching in the references of the articles.
- Data collection, selection and evaluation: I used yEd for the figure. But Lamia Ben offered to create something better. Perhaps this could be a good way to analyse the data and create the graphs. If we decide we want to do this, I would ask her which data she needs and how we can collect the data.
- Responsibilities for the clusters and cooperation – teambuilding: I think it would be good to build teams focussing on one (or more) clusters. In every team, one person could be responsible for the cluster and the analysis.

Discussed using Zoom later, decided to kill video feeds to conserve bandwidth. Added timelines (rough) to the agenda.
Structure
- Make an overview of the open science teaching methodology (Isabel)
- It was clarified, that a best-practices paper would not be in scope for this first publication, and that the first effort should be to identify clusters of open science and see how they relate accross the literature. PlosOne was seconded for a possible avenue for this work.
Selection of articles
- We will stick to verifiable DOI articles which have been peer-reviewed will be considered.
- WOS (web-of-science) was floated as a possible database, but Isabel pointed out that many subjects are not covered there, like Sociology, so we will adapt a maximalist approach, that is, to collect as much as possible with our man-power. Furthermore, the country-based search biases were also noted, as a reason to accept this approach.
- (Flavio) raised the point of defending the choices which will arise when we have to limit the scope of the work out of practical considerations.
- We have determined that it is largely probable that databases can be parsed together, as long as it is done reproducibly.
- We will be polling social media for more comments/insights on this.
- We need to discuss the methodology to collect the data in a way which will allow for queries and analysis. Endnote was suggested (Kwok). (Rohit) suggested a database of say SQL or json entries, depending on the API exposed by WOS and other databases.
Team-building
- We will solicit a topic list from the participants to determine which sections of the literature they would be comfortable covering
- After that we will be closing the gaps in the studies and then complete
