Iperion-HS Open and FAIR Science with a case study from the FAIR Phytoliths project

Description

There is a growing need to implement open science practices in archaeology with requirements from funders for open access outputs and a need to produce more reproducible and accessible research to make it more sustainable for future use. This lecture will introduce you to the main practices of open science and why it is important for all researcher to start moving towards more open working in archaeology. It will include a discussion of the benefits of practising open science as well as touch on the barriers that have to be overcome. There will also be a case study about the FAIR Phytoliths project – this is a project that aimed to assess phytolith data in terms of the FAIR data principles and has formed an open community to tackle implementation of open science practices.
