Submission of educational materials about data managment

[tzielins]

We have developped the carpentry style couse: FAIR in biological practice which teaches Open Science and FAIR principles as well as a basic tools and techniques that help achieving FAIR data.

We have been asked to submit the course description to JOSE as part of the carpentries-lab lessons review process.

The course is not dedicated to coding per se but to the open data. All the topics included in the course are:

• Introduction to Open Science and FAIR
• IP, Licensing and Openness
• Metadata
• Ontologies
• Tidy data tables
• Laboratory Records
• Project files organization
• Reusable analysis with Jupyter Notebooks
• Version control
• Public repositories
• Writing Data Managment Plan

There are only two code-related epissodes in this course: one about data analysis with Jupyter Notebooks and another dedicated to the basics of version control. It may not align perfectly with the scope of the JOSE journal which is described on your webpage. However, it will be a long time till teaching "Open Data" will earn its own journal. Also, many of the practices which we teach are essential for reproducible, scientific computing.

Will you consider accepting submission of the FAIR in practice article to the JOSE?

Dear @labarba and @jgorzalski could you comment on this please.

We have a discussion thread on Slack, and so far the board members who commented are on the opinion that this would not be a good fit for JOSE. One editor suggested that the OCS project may be a better fit (see https://www.opencasestudies.org/ and @OpenCaseStudies on Twitter).
