Open Science #8

Closed edzob closed 3 years ago

Just as selecting a Licence model, it is important to determine at the start your positioning towards open science. In de PhD Defence of "2021 Borgers - Are Architecture Principles effective - A study in Dutch governmental organizations" Borgers stated that complying to the FAIR principles (demanded by university of Maastricht), was very difficult since he addressed it only later in the processes.

Univeristy Antwerp does have an Open Science / Open Access Policy Antwerp Management School does NOT have an Open Science / Open Access Policy.

The Open Science requirements are closely linked to Replication Criteria. For research to be replicatable these criteratia are relevant.

to consider 1: at AMS most MSc research is closed since it addressed strategic information of an organisation. to consider 2: I think that a clear view on Open Science, Open Access and a deliberate choice on replication and transparancy ticks a few boxed for bonus points but is not mandatory.

thx for the tip... Idea is that I will not do research based on a managerial problem in my own organisation. I want to keep it to the fact that the body of knowledge does not say that much on the topic. In the end, the outcome should be usable not only with my own company but also with other ISV's delivering solutions/services to the local governments. So the research will not be closed. Yes, my administration because of some privacy-related information but the thesis no.

I did not hear about Open Science and FAIR.. going to sit down on the couch, read it and see what I can do with it.

My real goal is not only to succeed in graduating but also (thinking of) publishing. When I am going to use the Open Science policies I also write about them in the research approach on the subject of Quality.

FAIR, OSF, TOP nicely fit into the list of attributes of good research defined in (Recker, 2012, p. 16) .

  1. Replicability
  2. Falsification
  3. Independence
  4. Precision

Looking forward to your consious decission which of this and how you will embedd in your research. This is for everybody an unique journey.

@edzob about the Open Science Framework. I really like it but if you follow it by the letter the anonymous nature of the Delphi Method is anti Open Science because it is harder to repeat the research in the same way. You cannot give the transparency you would like to give with Open Science.

I am thinking of that I will adopt as much as possible but when I cannot follow Open Science I will state the rationales.

Sounds pragmatic and the right thing to do.

When you document the tools, the "script" and the way you selected the participants. and document the findings (in a way that is anonymous enough, but also a step before the "end-conclusion") this should be enough for someone to replicate the proceedings, and/or validate that the questions and participants add value to the research domain.

JRBliekendaal commented 3 years ago

Adopted FAIR and OS (also used the OSF for reference with selecting the tools and infrastructure needed). TOP is less of importance because this thesis is yes published but not with a publisher. I Scribbled some notes in the research methodology chapter.. important enough to mention.
