[open-science] Asia-Pacific Open Science Call (was Open Science Census)

Fri Nov 28 23:29:11 UTC 2014

Great initiative, happy to be involved. 
In the past days, we had a Hong Kong -Finland Open Data exchange, both were (closed) seminars for government people in Hong Kong only (won't comment about the reason of "closed" seminars on "open data" now). One of them was on innovation policy in HK, with senior representatives from universities and government-funded R&D centres (VP R&D). The invited speaker was Markku Markkula (Aalto University Helsinki, EU CoR and rapporteur on Horizon2020), and he will summarize the ideas discussed as recommendation for Hong Kong's innovation policy; the recommendation on Open Data will be part of it. I am helping him with this report, which will be available before the end of this year (hopefully as open report).

 Hooray! I've been whinging about this for ages, so in return very happy to be added to the rota. If you don't find enough names I can arm twist 1-2 others in HK, but would be great to spread it around and hear more from other countries out here. In case we get any Chinese participants, for this APAC group it would also be helpful to avoid communicating with any platforms blocked behind the great firewall (googledocs, wordpress and youtube in particular).

Viva the Asia Pacific open science revolution! Or coming one anyway.

Never fear Scott, starting December we're about to set up an Asia-Pacific monthly call so you won't be left out - I'm very aware this has been an issue for a while now.

We'll make this a key topic in the first call and watch this space for time and date coming soon.

If anyone is based in the Asia Pacific region and wouldn't mind being on a rota to organise a regular open science call please do get in touch, we have 2 volunteers already so you'd be organising up to 4 hour long calls per year and writing up some notes - around a max 24 h per year time commitment.

All offers of help gratefully received :)

I'm very keen to participate, but (as with every single conference call...) its not the most Asia Pacific time zone friendly time. Being only a bit after midnight isn't the worst so I'll see if I can make it that day, but if I can't I'll try to send some notes of what we've done so far surveying Hong Kong, and I'd appreciate if someone takes good (etherpad?) notes for us APAC people.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi Fernanda,Thank you for your interest :)May you please elaborate on the wiki or here what types of info you exactly have? I am a bit overstretched this week, so have not had the time to look into details (and my Spanish is rusty...).Thanks again,
Rayna

Hi Rayna, it's a wonderful idea!
I have added my name at the wiki
I'm interested in compiling the different surveys performed in the regions about the statu quo of research data management (behaviours, policies, services...). Do you think it may be interested for the Census?
We have provisional results of our survey at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia at http://www.datasea.es/dt/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=18&Itemid=117

The website is in Spanish only (by the moment!)

All the best

Dear everyone,
As you may have noticed from previous discussions both through mailing lists and during OKFest, the idea to have an Open Science Census has emerged. Inspired by the Open Data Index, the Open Science Census will aim to track openness commitments in the domain of science and research -- and will be a powerful tool for advocacy, among others.
In order to get a more focused discussion going on how such a Census could materialise, Jenny has set up a wiki page: http://wiki.okfn.org/Open_Science/Projects/Census
In a previous email, I suggested the Census to focus on several different topics: at the national level, we may wish to survey open access publications policy, open research data policy, notebook/protocol availability policy, evaluation of research practices and inclusion of openness in these. These are, however, tentative topics and I am just providing them as an initial discussion point.
We can naturally use the wiki and these mailing lists to address a possible Census scope and format. I would also suggest we have a dedicated hangout before Christmas, say 17 December 4:30pm GMT.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,Rayna
