8. Aims for this day:
- First steps to start a broader conversation on the topic
- Identify knowledge gaps
- Share best-practices; do’s and don’ts
- Think about OpenAccess / Open Scholarship principles in
Media Studies (connected to NECS?)
- Create awareness

9. Open Scholarship --> Open Media Studies
“[…] media and communication scholars should be at the forefront of the open
access movement:
(1) The topics that we write about are inescapably multimedia, so our publishing
platforms should be capable—at the very least—of embedding the objects that
we study;
(2) media studies, owing to their fragmentation and marginality, can sidestep the
prestige “penalty” that drags down other disciplines’ open access efforts; and
(3) our rich research traditions on popular media dynamics are begging to be
applied (and perhaps rethought) in the context of scholarly communication.

10. What is open scholarship/science?
One of the definitions:
Open Scholarship means openly creating, sharing and assessing
research, wherever viable.
It may involve any or all of these (and even more):
•Open and ‘FAIR’ data
•Preregistrations
•Open workflows and protocols
•OpenAccess to publications
•Open source code and software
•Open peer review
•Limiting patenting
•Changed evaluation criteria for proposals,
research and researchers
•Involving citizen scientists
•Translating outcomes for wider audiences

11. Benefits of Open Scholarship?
• Open Scholarship helps:
• Widening availability of research
• Increasing collaboration
• Speeding up insights and innovation / efficient science
• Detecting errors
• Increasing reproducibility of research results
• Increasing participation
• Getting credits and rewards for more research activities
• Improving the image of science and scholarship
• Producing more accurate science
