Il Manuale Per Formatori Della Scienza Aperta Il Manuale per Formatori della Scienza Aperta Nel mese di febbraio del 2018, un gruppo di 14 esperti internazionali in Scienza Aperta e autori del manuale, si è riunito ad Hannover presso la “Biblioteca Nazionale Tedesca per le Scienze e le Tecnologie” per prendere parte alla co-creazione di questo manuale, aperto e in fieri, su come tenere un corso di formazione sulla Scienza Aperta nel migliore dei modi. Una formazione di alto livello puó fare la differenza quando si tratta di cambiare un contesto culturale che si dichiari pronto ad accettare di mettere in pratica i principi della Scienza Aperta. Testi come questo possono essere di grande aiuto ai formatori e facilitatori della Scienza Aperta. Il manuale costituisce inoltre una risorsa fondamentale e un primo passo verso il futuro sviluppo dell´Accesso Aperto, dei corsi curriculari e della formazione in età avanzata in materia di Scienza Aperta. Il manuale, in quanto strumento mirato a rendere le attività formative piú performanti, contribuirà a far raggiungere alla Comunità il suo pieno potenziale supportando e mettendo in rete tra loro tutti gli scienziati della Scienza Aperta che desiderano condividere e accrescere il bagaglio delle loro conoscenze. Dopo essersi reciprocamente scambiati esperienze e competenze acquisite durante la loro attività di training sui principi della Scienza Aperta, gli autori hanno realizzato uno strumento di conoscenza aperta e una risorsa didattica aperta utile per l´insegnamento sul campo. L´enfasi posta a questo nuovo strumento non é di divulgazione delle idee sulla Scienza Aperta ma di dare dimostrazione su come trasmetterle nella maniera piú efficace possibile. Conferire a questo nuovo strumento la forma di un libro, nato da un processo di scrittura collettivo ha portato a massimizzare creativitá e innovazione, e ha permesso di produrre un risultato encomiabile nel giro di solo pochi giorni. Il manuale raccoglie metodi, tecniche e pratiche e vuole supportare i formatori della Scienza Aperta. Il prodotto finale é un´utile guida su come meglio fare conoscere i principi della Scienza Aperta a tutta la nostra rete di contatti, istituzioni, colleghi e studenti. I formatori troveranno ispirazione e informazioni su come conseguire il massimo della qualitá e dell´impegno. Mettendo in evidenza le 1 sfide ma anche fornendo le soluzioni, il manuale vuole rafforzare la comunitá dei formatori della Scienza Aperta impegnata a formarsi, informarsi e a trovare la giusta ispirazione. Aiutaci a migliorare il manuale Commenti e critiche, da parte di tutti i lettori, sono sempre ben accetti, indipendentemente da quali siano le specifiche competenze e background. Per lasciare un vostro commento la procedura piú semplice é ricorrere a hypothes.is. È altresí possibile creare una richiesta da Gitbook (website o app) o attraverso un qualsiasi altro strumento.

Open Science Skills Working Group Report (2017) La Scienza Aperta, il movimento attraverso il quale si vogliono rendere accessibili a tutti e riusabili da tutti i prodotti e i processi scientifici, riguarda tanto la cultura e la conoscenza quanto le tecnologie e i servizi. Convincere i ricercatori dei vantaggi che comporterebbe cambiare le loro abitudini ed equipaggiarli con le competenze e le conoscenze necessarie per farlo, è di conseguenza un compito importante. Questo libro offre guida e risorse ai formatori e ai docenti della Scienza Aperta, ma anche a tutti coloro che sono interessati a migliorare il livello, la trasparenza e la partecipazione nel campo della ricerca. Il manuale, supportando e interconnettendo una comunità emergente di sostenitori della Scienza Aperta, desiderosa di trasmettere le proprie conoscenze, propone attività di formazione adattabili a contesti e platee diversi. Questo libro fornisce ai formatori metodologie, istruzioni, modelli e strutture per eventi di formazione nonché ispirazione per gli auto-didatti della Scienza Aperta. I sostenitori della Scienza Aperta di tutto il mondo troveranno degli esempi pratici su come trasmettere i principi della Scienza Aperta a ricercatori e a tutto il personale di supporto. Cosa funziona e cosa non funziona? Come ottenere il massimo rendimento da risorse limitate? Il manuale contiene un notevole numero di risorse utili a realizzare degli eventi di formazione. Basandosi sull'esperienza personale acquisita dagli autori e sull’abilità di trasmettere i principi della Scienza Aperta, questo manuale è orientato alla formazione pratica in un ambiente di conoscenza aperta e in un contesto didattico. In altre parole, il focus di questo manuale non consiste nel voler diffondere la Scienza Aperta bensì su come sostenere la messa in pratica della Scienza Aperta nel migliore dei modi. 5 Chi sono i destinatari di questo libro? Questo manuale è destinato a tutti coloro che desiderano ospitare eventi di formazione intorno alla Scienza Aperta o ad introdurre i principi della Scienza Aperta in occasione di eventi di formazione ad hoc monodisciplinari, al fine di promuovere l'adozione di pratiche di ricerca aperte. È indirizzato quindi a ricercatori, bibliotecari, fornitori di infrastrutture, uffici di supporto alla ricerca, enti finanziatori, responsabili politici

  • Audio File Types for Preservation and Access
    AUDIO FILE TYPES FOR PRESERVATION AND ACCESS INTRODUCTION This resource guide identifies and compares audio file formats commonly used for preservation masters and access copies for both born digital and digitized materials. There are a wide range of audio file formats available, each with their own uses, considerations, and best practices. For more information about technical details see the glossary and additional resources linked at the end of this resource guide. For more information about audio files, view related items connected to this resource on the Sustainable Heritage Network in the “Audio Recordings” category. ​ ​ AUDIO FILE FORMATS FOR PRESERVATION MASTERS Lossless files (either uncompressed, or using lossless compression) are best used for preservation masters as they have the highest audio quality and fidelity, however, they produce the largest file sizes. Preservation Masters are generally not edited, or are minimally edited because their purpose is to serve as the most faithful copy of the original recording possible. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) ● Uncompressed ● Proprietary (IBM), but very widely used ● Accessible on all operating systems and most audio software ● A variant called BWF (Broadcast Wave File Format) allows embedding of additional metadata sustainableheritagenetwork.org | [email protected] ​ Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation | cdsc.libraries.wsu.edu Resource updated 3/14/2018 FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) ​ ● Compressed (lossless) ● Open format ● Accessible on all operating

  • Checklist for a Software Management Plan
    Checklist for a Software Management Plan Michael Jackson (ed.) Version 0.2 10.5281/zenodo.1460504 12 October 2018 Please cite as: Michael Jackson (ed.) (12 October 2018). Checklist for a Software Management Plan (Version 0.2). Zenodo. doi:10.5281/zenodo.1460504. Web site: https://www.software.ac.uk/software- management-plans Introduction It is easy to concentrate on short-term issues when developing research software. Getting publications, collaboration with others and the demands of a daily research routine can all conspire to prevent proper planning for the development of research software. A Software Management Plan can help us to define a set of structures and goals to help us to understand what we are going to write, who it is for, how we will get it to them, how will it help them, and how we will assess whether it has helped them. They also help us to understand what processes, resources and infrastructure we need and how we can use these to meet our own goals, in the short, medium and long term. They also encourage us to think about the future of our software once our project or funding period ends, and what our plans for its long-term sustainability are. This checklist is intended to help researchers write software management plans.
