SUMMARY:From Scientific Ideals to Practical Open Science: How reporting on study limitations can diminish Avoidable Research Waste
DESCRIPTION:What can a sociological framework from the mid-20th century teach us about today’s open-science movement? Surprisingly much.In this virtual seminar\, we revisit Robert Merton’s CUDOS framework—Communalism\, Universalism\, Disinterestedness\, and Organized Skepticism—and explore why these four principles continue to shape how we think about responsible and transparent research. The presentation will place special emphasis on organized skepticism: what it means in practice\, why it is crucial for research credibility\, and how fostering a culture of constructive critique can directly reduce avoidable research waste. The talk will also introduce practical examples of how these ideals can be operationalized today. You’ll hear about work on the automatic detection of study-limitation statements in scientific texts\, its implementation in the research-quality tool ScreenIT\, and how such tools can support reproducibility and stronger research assessment. The seminar will end with findings from a recent study on researchers’ adherence to a 14-item checklist for responsible and open research between 2020 and 2024.This session will appeal to anyone interested in: \n\n\n\n\nresearch transparency and rigor\n\n\n\nthe philosophical roots of open science\n\n\n\npractical tools for improving research quality\n\n\n\nshaping a scientific culture aligned with modern open-science values\n\n\n\n\nPresenter: Gerben ter Riet MD PhD – Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) – Clinical epidemiologist\, Open Science Advisor\, Member of the Committee for Research Integrity (at AUAS)\, and advisory board member of the Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN). \n\n\n\nRecording: Recording will be available after the event on: https://www.youtube.com/@SciLifeLabTalksTraining Slides: The slides will be available after the event. \n\n\n\nMore information\n\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.

SUMMARY:Building and sharing AI applications within ecology and biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the SBDI Days 2026. In order to take part\, you need to register for the main event and select this workshop. \n\n\n\nTitle: Building and sharing AI applications within ecology and biodiversity. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: SciLifeLab Data Centre (AI Data Engineers from the SciLifeLab Serve team). \n\n\n\nWhere and when: February 10\, 2026 at 16:00-17:30 at the Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Address: Frescativägen 40\, 114 18 Stockholm. \n\n\n\nAbstract: As more researchers in ecology and biodiversity build machine learning models\, it is important to find ways to make these models useful for the researcher community or general public. One way to do this is to share the models as web applications with an easy-to-use interface. Users of the models can then adjust parameters or submit their own input and see the result generated by the underlying model. This tutorial is aimed at PhDs and researchers working within ecology and biodiversity who work with machine learning models but do not have the skills to build applications for the web. During the tutorial we will start from a trained model and demonstrate step by step how you can create a graphical user interface for your application\, prepare it for deployment\, and make it available on the web with a URL. We will demonstrate the use of specific tools which make this process easy and doable in under an hour. \n\n\n\nExpected outcomes: Participants will have an overview of various open-source tools for creating applications out of machine learning models. Furthermore\, they will have practices creating an application using one such tool or perhaps already have a demo of an application with their own model. Participants will have knowledge about options for hosting their applications and making them available to the general public or to colleagues. \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nFor questions about the events please contact the organizing team by emailing  serve@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\nContact information: serve@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Public hosting of Shiny apps: hands-on workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the SBDI Days 2026. In order to take part\, you need to register for the main event and select this workshop. \n\n\n\nTitle: Public hosting of Shiny apps: hands-on workshop. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: SciLifeLab Data Centre (AI Data Engineers from the SciLifeLab Serve team). \n\n\n\nWhere and when: February 10\, 2026 at 16:00-17:30 at the Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Address: Frescativägen 40\, 114 18 Stockholm. \n\n\n\nAbstract: Researchers often create R Shiny applications as part of their projects and want to publish them as research output – as analysis tools with a graphical interface\, as supplementary materials for publications\, in order to make annotation easier\, etc. In order to make Shiny apps available to the collaborators or general public\, they need to be hosted somewhere and have a URL. We will start this workshop by giving an overview of what it means to create and publish Shiny apps as researcher in terms of institutional and funder requirements. We will then take a look at different hosting options for Shiny apps. During the hands-on part\, we will focus on packaging Shiny apps for hosting as Docker images. Together with the participants\, we will step-by-step package and publish an example Shiny app or the participants’ own Shiny app. If you are a researcher with an existing Shiny app you’d like to host\, or if you plan to build a Shiny app in the future\, this workshop is for you. If you already have a Shiny app you would like to host\, bring it\, and we will help you with it. \n\n\n\nExpected outcomes: After this workshop\, the participants will both have an understanding of working with Shiny apps within research projects in a Swedish university context and have practical knowledge about public hosting of Shiny apps. \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nFor questions about the events please contact the organizing team by emailing  serve@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\nContact information: serve@scilifelab.se
