Open Science seminar: issues and methods

The field of Open Science has developed over the last thirty years as a transdisciplinary movement, carrying methods and devices linked to the free dissemination of science in all its dimensions (publications, data, and tools). Far from being a simple consequence of technological development, Open Science calls on cross-disciplinary issues and skills that require strong scientific cooperation. The growing interest in Open Science, as evidenced by the implementation of the National Open Science Plan (https://openarchiv.hypotheses.org/4767), encourages us to explore this theme with doctoral students, right from the start of their thesis, in terms of the production, management and dissemination of scientific data. It is with this in mind that, for the second year running, the "Open Science: issues and methods" seminar aims to introduce PhD students in the Humanities and Social Sciences to the theoretical and methodological aspects of Open Science. The seminar aims to offer a panoramic vision of the multiple issues (technical, epistemological, legal, ethical) that characterize Open Science, and to enable participants to reflect on their practices.
The seminar has been running since the 2020-2021 year. Video recordings of this first year are online on Canal-U (see: https://himalco.hypotheses.org/files/2021/02/Affiche-Sciences-Ouvertes-4-3.pdf). In 2021-2022, the seminar will focus on the implementation of Open Science strategies in developing countries. Open Science involves major challenges in terms of the transmission of knowledge/skills and the use of digital technology in diverse national and areal contexts.
Sessions will be divided between thematic presentations aimed at introducing the theoretical fundamentals of Open Science and workshops during which PhD students will be confronted with the practical aspects of disseminating scientific production in the Human and Social Sciences. The seminar, which retains its site-based logic (anchored on the CNRS Villejuif campus), aims to articulate flexibly with other available training offers (Sorbonne Nouvelle, INALCO and BULAC, CNRS...), including content available online.
