Access 2 Perspectives – Conversations. All about Open Science Communication

Multilingualism is a skill that most researchers have in international research consortia and groups and also need in order to be able to disseminate their findings through scholarly publishing. However, the difficulties in learning another language and deficiencies like grammar and spelling issues often cause challenges and backlashes to non-English native speakers. Avi Staiman and Jo share some of their experiences and observations made, as well as resources and best practices to foster a global and multilingual research environment. They also talk about translation and editing as external services, publication success, and closing the gap between authors and scholarly publishers.

Kate and Jo talk about unhealthy stress in working and research environments and what measures each of us can take to gain and maintain a state of wellbeing again.

Mental health is too often ignored, and although it is talked about more openly now and especially since the pandemic, many of us pay lip service to that ethos, and when it comes to looking after ourselves, it’s business as usual. Appreciating others’ challenges is much easier to do than acknowledging our own, and yet the best thing we can do to help ourselves is to be real, honest, and pay attention to our feelings, habits, thoughts, and what our body is telling us.

This can help you get on the pathway towards emotional healing and wellbeing - there are 5 steps in my experience, and each one of them is necessary for long-term lasting positive change.

And there are 3 pillars on which to build the foundations of a healthy mind and emotional wellbeing - it also takes attention to all 3 to achieve lasting change.

Bianca Kramer and Jeroen Bosman are both librarians at Utrecht University library who - over the past decade - have become renowned for openly sharing their knowledge on Open Science and digital scholarly communication with the wider scholarly community. You might have come across 101 Innovations in Scholarly Publishing, which is an extensive investigation into the digital tools used by researchers around the world. In this episode, Bianca and Jeroen talk with Jo about one of their most recent interactive projects, the Publication Strategy Tool, a tool that helps researchers reconsider their publication strategies by thinking about publishing goals to inform new choices in what, when, how, and where to publish.

Ludmilla Figueiredo is a research data and code curator coming from a background in ecology and conservational biodiversity. In this episode, she tal`ks with Jo about the implementation of open science principles in the fast-paced and heavy workload researchers must handle.

She has completed a Bachelor’s degree in Biology in Brazil, followed by a Master’s in Rennes, France, and finally, a PhD in Würzburg, Germany. She focused her studies on ecological modeling, finding that Ecology often has many contingencies and models help her understand it better.

She completed a postdoc studying the payment of extinction debts at the Ecosystem Modeling Group of the University of Würzburg. As of March 2022, she works as a data and code curator at the Data and Code Unit of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig. Among her duties, she supports researchers in the application of Open Science and FAIR principles. She is confident that her participation in the "Freies Wissen" open science mentoring program (2020/2021 Wikimedia Deutschland) was crucial to her success in this new position.
