NISO TRAINING SERIES—EARLY BIRD DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 12

Open Research

Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)

September 26–November 21, 2024

Most professionals engaged in supporting or conducting research have heard of various aspects of open science and scholarship. But how well do we understand the principles and practices underlying open research? And how can we apply knowledge of open research in our own institutional and organizational contexts?  

From preregistration and preprints to metadata and open access, this course will help you navigate the open research landscape in lively, information-packed sessions using the research cycle as a framework.

You will learn how all these concepts and practices are applied by researchers and supported by librarians, data managers, publishers, and other professionals. Each 90-minute session will combine presentation, demonstrations, hands-on exploration, and discussion. Participants will leave the course with knowledge and insights but also with ideas and inspiration to include open research perspectives and practices in their own roles and contexts.

See the NISO website for more information, including full session descriptions. Discounts are available for NISO members and groups.

We hope you’ll join us for this unique professional development opportunity! And remember, register by September 12 to take advantage of early bird rates. 

Best wishes, 

The NISO Team
