Description

Discuss university needs around research management platforms - from grant management systems to text and data repositories to discovery tools. Work to understand what open source platforms already exist, what open source systems are needed, and how these open source platforms can be integrated and/or modularized.

How can others contribute?

Initially, participate in discussion during the OpenCon2018 Do-a-thon, capture our conversation notes here -https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QpIiiJSmXu5U5xt_xHhHqtqGu2mKLfNHLTS9FJwZIVE/edit, and come up with ideas for future action.

Contributors will primarily be communicating in English.

Potential Actions from Unconference Session

• Create a Wiki of existing research management platforms - open source vs. closed source
• Workflow mapping with existing systems
• Look at OSF integration map - https://vickysteeves.gitlab.io/2018-uutah-repro/the-open-science-framework.html
• Look at FORCE11 catalog for other tools - https://www.force11.org/catalog
• Look at GitLab connections - https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/

This post is part of the OpenCon Do-A-Thon. Not sure what's going on? Head here.
