We met Daniel Mietchen who just moderated a session at #oscibar about scholia, a service that provides „academic profiles“ based on Wikidata.

OSR102 Introduction Christina Riesenweber #oscibar [EN]
This year we’re lucky to have some support during the Barcamp so that we can hopefully cover even more from the individual sessions. This episode is to introduce Christian Riesenweber who volunteered to support us with recordings. In her professional carreer Christina works at the Open Access Office at Free University Berlin. Thanks so much Christina!
OSR101 Open Science 101 [EN]
According to dictionaries „101“ refers to introductory lessons or beginners overview or tutorials. Over the course of this podcast we already have taken this approach a couple of time (e.g. on Open Access). But as technology and processes develop, might be useful to do this again from time to time. This time we want to take a brief look at the whole research cycle and try to provide a bit of information about a few general entry points for doing research more openly. This 101 is by far not exhaustive and makes no claim to be complete, but our aim was to show you some starting points from where you could dive deeper into the matter if you like. Have fun!
OSR099 Open Science Barcamp and Conference 2018 #oscibar #osc2018 [EN]
March is here and this year’s Barcamp Open Science as well as the Open Science Conference is only a week away. We’re happy to attend again this year (for the fourth time) and help documenting the events with our recordings. Similar to the last years we’ve invited Guido Scherp to give us a short overview of what we can expect. We’re looking forward to meet a lot of people, exchange ideas and „drag“ some of the events‘ participants in front of our microphones to have them share their insights with us.
OSR098 Academic Publishing Infrastructures with Björn Brembs [EN]
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Academic publishing that is. And actually not only in Denmark. Even though open access publishing has picked up quite a bit over the last years, academic publishing today is still rather dominated by legacy publishers who mainly play their old game without much signs of changing and adapting to current technological and scientific developments. In fact, many of them are not even showing much willingness to consider changing. A lot of the recent studies and arguments point out that a complete transition to open access publishing potentially yields many positive social effects for the academic system and society as a whole, and even might achieved quite substantial savings. We had the great opportunity to talk Björn Brembs about these points, the obstacles, the necessary steps and a vision of how a publishing infrastructure could look like.
We apologize for the less optimal audio quality and hope you’re still enjoying the conversation. Have fun!
OSR089 WikiCite 2017 Meeting the Crowd [EN]
As last year, Konrad visited the WikiCite 2017 event that seeks out „…to design a central bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.“ This year he took the opportunity to do a couple of interviews with participants.
WikiCite draws a very diverse crowd, so in this episode you’ll hear a couple of short introductions from the „event floor“. Have fun getting to know some of the participants of WikiCite 2017 and hearing about their motivations. Enjoy!
