Inauguration of the Open Science Community Groningen (OSCG)

The OSCG is a UG-wide community that brings together academic staff and provides advice, support, and training for those who want to engage in open science. The initiative started as a collaboration between members of the Young Enthusiastic Social Scientist of the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, and members of the Interdisciplinary Center Psychopathology and Emotion regulation of the UMCG. It aims to include researchers from all faculties of the University of Groningen. Vera Heininga is an interdisciplinary postdoc at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences of the University of Groningen with a focus on deficits, distress, and disorders. She is a great fan of open science,meaning that she: loves research transparency; pre-registers her confirmatory analyses a priori (e.g., on OSF); uses Open Workflow Tools (e.g., R Markdown); publishes in open access journals and makes her data and annotated syntaxes publicly available (e.g., via Code Ocean). Vera is also an Open Access Ambassador for the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences of the UG and the Interdisciplinary Center Psychopathology and Emotion regulation (ICPE) of the UMCG, and co-founder of the Open Science Community Groningen
